It is affirmed that a poem offcrod in a coutest for a prize to tho Chicago Times-Herald, and which took tha prize, was a bold plagiarism from a poem which was first printed in a Chi cago paper nioro than twenty years ago.

But it is a mistake for women to think that they eun -keep up to the standard of work that men set for themselves. It is this disregard of their natural limi tations which causes so many women to break down.

HE Tillage, with the school and everything in it, properly belonged to tho Squire; but people oalled the school the little Squire's sohool, because no one took suoh an in terest in it as did tha littlA Hnnira Mtutviur h ( A Why, he would arrive at tbe sohool every afternoon for weeks running and leave his pony standing, with its shaggy head halfway in the door, while be took tip his position beside the teacher, and gravely regarded the boys and girls. "Well, Charley, bow's your sohool?" tho Sq lire would ask, if he happened to moot bis son returning from the village. "Coming on finoly, eh? Learning 'readin', writtin and 'rith metic, and sewin? into the bargain?" And then the Squire would roar, laughing; for ha thought it a huge joke tho interest tbo iittle Squire took in tho village school. Even the schoolmaster, Mr. Finch, spoke of the sohool over which he had presided for fifteen year as the little Squire sohool. But many and many a time the good man laid to himself: "Ho s a fine, manly little fellow, the littlo Squire; but I'm feared he'll be spoiled. 'Tisn't more'n human nature that the little Squire should be sooiled. with the Squire himself willing to run at the lad's beok and call, almost, and the children here at the school fairly worshiping. A fine, tine lad ; bnt 'tis a pity." The schoolmaster said all this, however, before a certain ooonr rence and its sequel down at the little eqmre s school. This is how it was. The little Sqnire stood as straight as a soldier in front of a long lino of boys and girls, ne held a spelling book iu one hand and a ruler iu the other; the little Squire was fond of slapping the book with the rulor. Tho Fchooluiaster was smiling as he sat idle at his desk. The littlo Squire turned back the leaves of the spelling book and out the word "Bowl!" gave Seated at the head of the benob, with her eyes fastened upon tbe little Squire, was a little flaxen-haired girl wearing a quoor, voluminous froek and a skimpy print apron. She was an odd-looking, eager little girl and she spelled very quiokly "B-o-1-1." "That isn't right," said the little Squire . . The little girl's face grew red and white by turns, bright gleam came into her blue eyes and she showed one dimple in her left cheek. "Ann Elizabeth," called out Mr. Finch, in a warning tone. "Next," cried the little Squire. "B-o-w-1, bowl," said the seoond little pupil, emphatically. "Go head," ordored the little Squire. Then he looked at Ann Eliza beth; she was actually muttering that it wasn't fuir. "You're a very bad girl, Ann Eliza both," said tho lad. "1 think you for get who is teucher to-day." Then Ann Elizabeth shooked every one iu the sohool. She burst into im pudent laughter. "You're a common girl, Ann Eliza beth," cried the little Squire, energet ically ; "ami I won't teach this class any more till Mr. Finoh sees that you mind your manuers." And with that the lad tossed tho Hiiellin book across to tbe teacher's desk, darted out of the soboolhouso, mounted his pony, looking uncon cernedly into the room, and rode away iu high dudgeon. "I'm astonished at you, Ann Eliza beth," said Mr. Finoh, sternly. "I was uuder the impression that you were a well-behaved girl." The spelling class wa for th,e most part dumbfounded; but still that dan gerous dimple showed itself in Anu Elizabeth's left cheek, and still her eyes gleamed. "I know I'm a common girl," said Ann Elizabeth, as she trudged home a quarter of an tiour after the other childreu; "bnt I know it's worse to call a person what they is than what they isn't; and I know that word boll was right. I'll be even yet with the little Square." About a week later the littlo Squiro overtook Aon Elizabeth as she was walking aloug the lane. He rode very slowly us he came up to her, for he wanted Anu Elizabeth to beg bis par don ; he wanted to give out some more lessons at his school. Then the shaggy little pony of its own aocori stood still by the side of Aun Elizabeth. Tho little Squire lifted his lap and I said "Uood-iuoruing." . Ann Elizabeth curtesied. I "1 know I'm a common girl, Square ' Charley," she said, suddenly. J iutteur'ju (he lull? (j-iuire, Vu' F IT" N V v was really of a vory generous nature and who knew nothing of Ann Eliza beth s dangerous dimple, cried out, impetuously : "Oh, I shouldn't have called you that; I'm very sorry that I called you that. But I'm glad to hear you ac knowledge you were wrong, Ann Eliz abeth," he added, in a superior way; for at times the little Squire was ex ceeding pompous. "The word you give out is spelled two ways," said Ann Elizabeth, slowly and distinctly, "b-o-1-1 and b-o-W-1." "That may be, Ann Elizabeth," re turned the little Squire, determined bot to lose his temper; "but it was only spelled one way in the spoiling book." "Then the spelling book's the dumb est thing I ever beered of," cried Ann Elizabeth. -."That may bo, Ann Elizabeth," ao quiesood tho little Sqnire; "but I scarcely think you and I are called upon to disouss the question." He looked so very little seated tip there npon his pony, and his words seemed so very big that for a moment Ann Elizabeth almost gave np her idea of getting even ; but she had been head in the spelling class three months all but two days, and her grandmoth er had promised her a new calico frock if she stood head at the end of the third month; and although Ann Elizabeth's frocks were voluminous and came almost down to her heels she was immensely proud of a new one. "I'm a common girl, I know that," ropeated Ann Elizabeth ; "and you're a fine little gentleman, everybody knows that, and I got a grandmother and so hev you." She was lookinj over the back of the shaggy pony, far away from tbe littlo Squire's honest eyes. Tbe little Squire was going to be an gry, but he smiled instead. "That's so, Ann Elizabeth," he said. "I've got a grandmother, and so have yon." "My grandmother," said Ann Eliz abeth, looking wiokedly into the won doriua face of the littlo Squire, "helps with the baby and bakes pics and does a turn most everywhere; you can't go by tho house you don't hear her sing in'. Onot your grandmother went a potteriu' 'round at Farmer Hath away's, workiu' hard as onybody 'fore she married the Square's father ; now yon keep bor lack she was a chiny tea pot or sorae'n ; dress her in silk, and a'most set her in a chair. She do look lack a chiny doll, sure 'nongb, settin' wish in' the Lord d teok her. Little Square, my grandmother pities your grandmother; hear that?" The sh'iggy pony kept its feet plant ed in tho middle of the lano ai the little Squire's indignaut eyes followed the figure of Ann Elizabeth going on to his sohool. The trees met overhead in the ave nue np which the little Squire galloped his pony. He had mattered "china teapot" and "china doll" defiantly, be fore he persuaded the pony to leave that spot in the laue, and his faco was atlame as he gaMoped up the avenue. "China teapot I China doll, in deed I" The little Sqnire was in an irritable mood a he mounted the hail steps. Everything about him was elegant as he had always remembered, large, comfortable and olegaut ; and yet be never for a moment doubted the words Ann Elizabeth referring to his grand mother "pottcrin' round at Farmer Uathuway's." He entered the back parlor where ha knew his grandmoth er was sure to be; but he did not speak to her, he just went to tossing about the papers on tho center table. Be inganifry with the common little girl uiaJo him angry with the whole world. But never in his short life had the ; little Squire remained augry for a long time. All at once he raised his eyes from tha scattered papers and re garded his grandmother. She must have seen him when he first camo iu, but she was not thinking of him now ; she was sitting iu her rocking chair at tho west wiudow. No, he was not angry, but Ann Elizabeth's words were ringing in his ears: "Dress hor in silk au I a'mott set her iu a chair. She do look lack a chiny doll sure 'nough." Was his grandmother sit ting there wishing the Lord would lake her? Then the little Squire hid his face for a moment iu his arms; for even aa he had galloped furiously past Ann Elizubeth's home he had heard the useful old graudmotber luughiug and blugiug to the baby. And thut old grau duiothnr pitied his graud motber Ho walked softly across the room and stooped and kissed the little old lad-, "lou don t waut to go Heav en yet a white, do you, Graudmotb er?" he asked, auxiously. She started guiltily, her shrunken little face llushiug. "It's very nice down here, Charley, she said, smooth lug out her gown. "Is it ma le of silk?" questioned the boy, following the movement ot his fraudmotlier baud. "Yes, dear, it's made of silk fine silk," she murmured. "But you don't feel like like yon wan a china doll, do you, Grandmoth er?" "A china doll," repeated the old lr.1-, in atrcmuloui tone "a chin doll. Who say that, Charley?" But the little Squire hung his head. He never intended to tell of Anna Elizabeth. A the day went by the lad did not go again to the village school ; iustoaj he set diligently to watohiug his little cliiu doll graudmother; for that wa tho way site bejan always to uope-tr in his thoughts. He wouJered I it would bo to grow old and ait .... . have nothing to do. S mo people, o'. course, miht like it. but not a person who had once been busy, not a per. on wiio had gone "potturiu' round si farmer Hatha way's.

Ono day tbe little Squire kissed ths little old grandmother right where the tears were settling on her cheek, and cried out, in his impulsive way, "Grandmother, did you use to like to work f "Like to work, Charley?" she asked, faintly. And then of a sudden the little grandmother was quivering and Crying and laughing all at once, asehfl told the little Squire about ber past usefulness and, how She was wont td "fly around the house." "And now," she added, "I've nothing to do, noth ing whatover to do, no more than if I wasn't in the world. But it's all right ; yes, of course it's all right," she went on; "I'm the Squire's mother, and I'm proud and happy ;" and then the poor little grandmother, from something she saw in the little Squire's big blue eyes, hid her little, old-faoe in her little, old, useless hands, and fell to sobbing like a baby. Ten minutes later the little Squire knocked boldly at his father's study. "Come in I" roared the Squire. When the little Squire, thus hid den, opened the door he found his mamma idling away the Squire's time to tbe Squire's infinite satisfaction. The lad walued resolutely to his fath cr's desk, and determination in his blue eyes, his lips pressed together. "1 ve just been with grandmother, he began ; "she isn't happy here. I say, grandmother ought to be made awfully happy, she's so little and she's so good." Thereupon the Squire was for rush ing off to the baok parlor to find out what was the matter', but his wife put her hand on his and hade him ask the little Squire to explain. "Mother unhappy in ray house?'' fumod the Squire. "What do you mean, Charley?" "She's gotto have something to do," said the littlo Squire, boldly. She and I have got to take care of the parlors or some'n ; she mustn't (it f till All day any longer." Then the lad's bravery deserted him, "It's true, Mother," ho sobbed out, "my grandmother s treated like she was a china doll, and Ann Elizabeth's grandmother makes the whole house chippy. The Squire's mouth and eyes were both open very wide. "Clean the parlors I" be gasped. Mother would n't like that; that's servant's work." Then, us if he might solve the problem in auother way, he inquired, anxiously, "Who's Ann Elizabeth?" The little Squire's mother answered for him, with a faint smile. "She's one of the children down at the little Squire's school." 'We'd just dust," said the little Squire, perseveringly ; "I'd dust the piano legs while Grandmother dust the chairs, bally never half dusts, any way. And Grandmother and 1 could have a tlower bed back (of the parlor windows; that wouldn t be servant s work, Father." The little Squire al most stuttered in his eagerness, while tho big Squire's amazement grew and grew. But the lad's mother bad her arms about him. "The little Squiro may be right," she said softly ; "we must let him do what he can to make Grand mothor hoppy." It was a happy day for the littlo.old grandmother whon, euvoloped in a white apron, she dusted tbe center table iu the front partor. The little Squire sat under the piano feasting his eyes upon her before he vigorously dusted tho legs. And that flower bed under the back windows; why, from the very beginning it brought the laughter iuto Grandmother's little wrinkled face. The little Squire entered his school very gravely one morning toward the olose of the third term. It al most seemed as if be had been ueglocting his duty; Le hadn't been near there for over four weeks. The common little girl bung down ber head when she saw him. The little Squire had never told of her, and she felt ashamel and repent ant. The schoolmaster smiled in hearty welcome. "I'd like to hear the spelling olass, Mr. Finch, if you don't mind," said the little Squire ; and the schoolmas ter smiled again and held out the book. "I'm goiug to skip about," said the little Squire. It was a lona; time boforo the little Squire selected a place iu the spelling book. Then he looked at Ann Eliza beth, who stood at the heal. "Boll I" he said. "B-o-w-l," answered Ann Elizabeth, in a low voice. 'There are two ways of spelling that word," said the little Squire, lookiug far away over Ann Elizabeth's meek beud; "I didn't know it the other time; this word's spelled the other way, but both ways are right. If I'd know I wouldu't have made Anu Elizabeth go down." Thou tho littlo Squire's eyes fell on Aun Elizabeth, abject and miserable, ilo saw the listen head bowed away down over the bib of the tunny little apron. Ho knew that Anu Elizabeth was just as sorry as she could be. But, somehow, the little Squire was just as glad as he could be. "Anu Elimibuth," be said, iu a friendly fashion, "you ought to see my graud mother and lua dusting the parlor furniture; you ought to seo us 1 And wo'vo started a llowt-r bed; we're Komg to have every kind of flower.
