J I. MM VI Jimmy South-breeze,
ciuHc licrc a tnimitet"
Mrs. Soutli-brcczc called soft
ly through 'the trees till Jimmy heard
licr and came blowing up to sec what
she wanted.
"I find ( have to go on a little
Southern journey," she said.
, "Something about our winter home,
mother?" asked Jimmy. '
"Exactly that," replied .Mrs. South
brccrc, "but I'm not ready to take
you with me yet this is just a little
exploring trip. I'll not be gone more
than two or three days. You make
yourself busy and happy here in the
garden till I return."
"All right, Mother," answered Jim
my, "and I'll watch for you every
evening."
'' And Mrs. South-breeze blew away
toward the Southland.
"Now I wonder what I'm going to
do first," said Jimmy to himself; "it
feels very ucer to be alone in the
garden,"
i i L i ...
i uu re hoc aiouc, wuispereu a
quiet little voice, "I'll stay and keep
)ou company if you like."
"Indeed I do like!" replied Jimmy,
'warmly, "but if you please, who arc
you-"
A gay little laugh was his only an
swer. "Susy West-breeze!" exclaimed
ineeJn' Jimmy, half-provnkedr-"dp yoifmean

Susy laughed softly.
"Yes, indeed, this is your very same
cousin. You never can tell about us
Wcst-brcezcsl Sometimes we rage
and sometimes we smilcl. But I feel
in a very nice humor just now. Don't
you want to play?" And Susy smiled
and sang so enticingly that of course
Jimmy wanted to play with her who
wouldn't?
I guess she forgot!" Now who could
that be?
Jimmy and Susy looked all around
the garden. It was the big old sun
llower back by the-alley fence!
"Indeed wc will help you," replied
the breezes, "but how can wc get the
seeds?"'
"Just shake mc real hard and they'll
fall right out into your arms," said
the sunflower.
Jimmy and Susy laughed, and then
shook that old sunflower till the
brown seeds rattled out!
All over the garden, the alley and
the lawn they scattered those seeds
so thoroughly that next summer the
garden looked like a sunflower patch.
So interested were Susy and Jimmy
in their seed scattering that they for
got about playing and worked all the
time till Mrs. South-breeze came back
and told them they were two extra
fine children!

BLACKBIRDS AT ARDMORE
"Suay West-Breeze!" exclaimed
Jimmy, half-provoked.
"AH right," he said, "mother has
gone away and I have two whole
days to do just a; I please with."
''What do you want to do first?"
"Please, before you start playing,
won't you help mc scatter my seeds?
Your mother promised her help, but

'HE evening comes, the day is
done,
I have my little nightgown on.
Before my mother turns the light
And kisses me the last good night,
I kneel beside my cribby bed
And fold my hands and bow my
head ;
And while her fingers smooth my
hair,
She teaches me to say this prayer:
Dear God, I thank Thee for this day,
And health and strength so I might
play;
For light and love and pleasant food,
And for the times that. I've been
good.

-Dear Father, may Thine angels

Keep me from evil day and night.
When on my pillows I shall sink,
Of Jesus, Thy dear Son, I'll think;
For on His strong, His gentle arm,
No child of Thine can come to harm.
May parents, relatives and friends
All know Thy love which far ex

By day and night, asleep, awake,
To bless and help, for Jesus' sake.

of the Hlnck Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish
Inquisition pale Into lusignlllcancc.
She Is tile oldest ship In tho world and tho
only Convict Ship left afloat out of that dread
ful fleet of ocean hells which sailed tho seven
seas In 17U0 A. O.
She Is unchanged after all these years, noth
ing: belni; omitted but her human freight and
their sufferings from tho cruelties and burliarl
tles piacticod upon them.
Aboard her aro now shown In their original
state, all tho airless dungeons and condemned
cells, the whipping posts, the manacles, the
branding Irons, the punishment halls, the
leaden-tipped cat-o'nine tails, the coflln bath
and the other tlendlsh Inventions of man s bru

From keol to topmast sho cries aloud tho
greatest lesson the world has ever known in
the history of human progress.

What the Press of Two Continents Says of the Convict Ship "Success"
No other exhibition ever received the publicity accorded by the world's press to the "Success."
Leaders of public opinion everywhere realize that in her lies a great and striking object lesson of the
