BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
JIMMY! Jimmy South-brcczc,
come here a minutel"
Mrs. South-brcczc called soft
ly through the trees till Jimmy heard
licr 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
breeze, "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 arc
you?"
A gay little laugh was his only an
swer. "Susy West-breeze!" exclaimed
Jimmy, half-provoked, "do you mean
to say that was you talking so sweet
ly and softly I The last time I saw
you you were ranting around the
garden in a regular hurricane 1"
Susy laughed softly.
"Yes, indeed, this is your very same
cousin. You never can tell about us
Wcst-brcczcsl Sometimes we rage
and sometimes we smile! 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 1" Now who could
that be?
Jimmy and Susy looked all around
the garden. It was the big old sun
flower back by the alley fence 1
"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 outl
All over the garden, the alley and
the lawn they scattered those seeds
so thoroughly that next summer the
garden looked like a suntlowcr 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
hue children!

BLACKBIRDS AT ARDMORE
"Susy Weut-Breezc!" 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 Hesting Place by
Hundreds of Them.
Ardmoro has been suffering- from a
plufiue of. blackbirds. Hundreds of the
blids havo settled, for n time, in 1 le
vicinity of School lane and Ardmoro ave
nue, where a large public school n
located. They caused considerable dam'
age, und residents finally appealed to
the police for tlio right to shoot them.
Captain of Police Donaghy said that
would be against the gamo 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 the birds off by finiig blanks
xroni snotguns. Boon a flood of tpl.
phone messages were coming to Captain
uonogny irom rcsiaonts of the neigh
borhood, complaining that two colored
men were snooting Blackbirds.

TJT'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.

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,
1 o bless and help, for Jesus' sake.
Amen.

through three centuries. Sho marked the be
beglnnlng and the end of England's monstrous
pennl system.
She hns held lurid horror and dreadful In
iquities beside which even the terrible stories
of the Black Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish
Inquisition pale into Insignificance.
Sho Is the oldest ship in the world and the
only Convict Ship left afloat out of that dread
ful fleet of ocean hells which sailed the seven
seas in 1700 A. D.
She Is unchanged after all these years, noth
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, nil the airless dungeons and condemned
cells, the whipping posts, the manacles, tho
branding irons, the punishment halls, the
leaden-tipped cat-o'nlno talis, tho coflln bath
and the other fiendish Inventions of man's bru
tality to his fellow-man.
From keol to topmast she cries aloud the
greatest lesson the world has ever known In
the history of human progress.
This Wonderful Vessel Has Been Visited by Over 15,000,000 (Fifteen Million) PEOPLE
Including most of the crowned heads of Europe, and has received the patronage of many leading State
and city officials since her arrival in America. The world's greatest men have written volumes about her.
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
softening and civilizing influences that are now animating human progress. A few extracts from manv

Convict Ship "Success":
My Dear Sir: Your ship and her equipment of old instruments of punish

outgrown during the past 100 years. I am very glad that tho people of
Massachusetts have had this opportunity to see the strides that have already
been made townrds better methods of treatment, for I think your exhibition
will act as an added incentive towards the further improvement of our Insti

exhibition of these horrlblo and obsolete prison methods.
