BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
JIMMYI Jimmy South-brcczc,
cniiic here a minute!''
Mrs. South-brcczc called soft
ly through the trees till Jimmy heard
her and came blowing up to sec what
she wanted.
"I find I have to go on a little
southern journey," she said.
"Something about our winter home,
mother?" asked Jimmy.
"Exactly that," replied Mrs. South
brcczc, "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-brcczc blew away
toward the Southland.
"Now I wonder what I'm going to
do first," said Jimmy to himself; "it
feels very queer to be alone in the
garden."
"You're not alone," whispered a
quiet little voice, "I'll stay and keep
you company if. you like."
"Indeed I do like!" replied Jimmy,
warmly, "but if you -please, who are
you?"
A gay little laugh was his only an
swer. "Susy Wcst-breczc!" exclaimed
Jimmy, half-provoked, "do you mean
to say that was you talking so sweet
ly ami softly! The last time I saw
you you were ranting around the
garden in a regular hurricane I"
Susy laughed softly.
"Yes, indeed, this is your very same
cousin. You never can tell about us
West-brcczcsl Sometimes wc rage
and sometimes wc smile! But I feci
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 I" Now who could
that be?
Jimmy and Susy looked all around
the garden. It was the big old sun
flower hack by the alley fcnccl
"Indeed wc will help you," replied
the breezes, "but how can wc get the
seeds?"
"Just shake me 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
"Susy West-Brcezc!" exclaimed
Jimmy, half-provoked.
"All right," he said, "mother has
gone away and I have two whole
days to do just as I please with."
"What do you want to do first?"
"Please, before you start playing,
won't you help me scatter my seeds?
Your mother promised her help, but
Public School Made Resting Place by
Hundreds of Them.
Ardmore has been suffering from a
plague of blackbirds. Hundreds of the
birds have settled, for n time, in the
lclnlty of School lane and Ardmore ave
nue, where a larne public srliool u.n
located. They caused considerable dam
age, and residents llnally appealed to
the police for the right to shoot them
Captain of Police Donaghy said that
would be asalnst the game laws. So he
sent Charles Hall, Janitor of the Station
house, to the place. Hall and John
Struthers, Janitor of the school, climbed
to the school house roof and tried to
frighten tho birds off by firing blanks
from shotguns. Soon a flood of tele
Phone mesbiiges were coming to Captain
Donaghy from residents of tho neigh
boihood, complaining that two colored
men were shooting blackbirds.
By MALCOLM S. JOHNSTON
'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.
10 wmw' il

:
I'm sorry for all deeds ill done;
I'm sorry for them, one by one;
Dear Father, may Thine angels
bright
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
tends, By day and night, asleep, awake,
To bless and help, for Jesus' sake.
Amen.

THE OLD BRITISH
Convict Ship "Success
The Oldest Ship Afloat (Launched 1790 A. D.) and Only Remaining Convict Ship in the World
Now in Philadelphia, at Market St. Wharf
On a Final Tour of the World, on Her Way to San Francisco, Where She Will Be a Feature
of the Great Panama Exposition

This Wonderful Vessel
Has Made History
through three centuries. She marked the be
bcglnning nnd the end of England's monstrous
penal system.
She has held lurid horror and dreadful In
iquities beside which even tho terrible stories
of the Black Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish
Inquisition pale into Insignificance.
Sho is tho oldest ship in tho world and the
only Convict Ship left afloat out of that dread
ful llect of ocean hells which sailed tho seven
sens in 1790 A. D.
Sho is unchanged after all theso years, nottr
Ing being omitted but her human freight and
their sufferings from the cruelties and barbari
ties practiced upon them.
Aboard her are now shown In their original
state, all tho airless dungeons and condemned
cells, tho whipping posts, the manacles, the
branding irons, the punishment halls, the
leaden-tlppeil cat-o'nlne tails, the coflin bath
and the other fiendish inventions of mans bru
tality to his fellow-man.
From keel to topmast sho cries aloud the
grcntest lesson the world hns over known In
the history of human progress.

AMERICA
On Mny B, 1012, Mr. Arthur Brisbane, tho distinguished
editor of the New York Journal, In a full-page editorial,
vhich was reproduced in ten other leading dailv papers
throughout the States, devoted his brilliant pen to a picture
of the Convirt Ship "Success ' as a vivid and striking lesson
in thH progress of humanity and civilization. Describing the
Convict Ship as n sad but valuable lesson to the people of
America, he wrote:
"When yuu study theso scenes of cruelty and atrocious
torture, when you realize they have disappeared forever from
the earth, except in isolated savage corners of the world,
whore men revert to animalism, and when you realize that
these scenes of cruelty, brutal as they are. wero as nothing
as compared with what preceded them, you realize that this
world DOHS advance.
... it shows what government did to tho poor, the
Ignorant, tho helpless making them Infinitely worse than
they were at rtrst. even though they were the worst criminals.

the men tortured and branded, is today an exhibition. Intended

and tho thing she signifies In a thousand fathoms of dis
