BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
) :
JIMMY I Jimmy South-brcczc,
come here a minutel"
Mrs. South-breeze c'allcd soft
ly through the trees till Jimmy heard
her and came blowing up to see 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-breeze blew away
toward the Southland.
"Now I wonder what I'm going to
do nrst, said jimmy to Himself; "it
feels very queer to be alolic in the
garden."
"You're not alone," whispered a
quiet little voice, "I'll stay and keep
you company if you like.'1
"Indeed I do like!" replied Jimmy,
warmly, "but if you please, who are
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! 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
West-breezes! Sometimes we rage
and sometimes wc 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!" 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!
"Indeed wc will help you," replied
the breezes, "but how can we 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. bouth-breezc came back
and told them they were two extra
fine children I

BLACKBIRDS AT ARDMORE
"Susy. West-Brcczc!" 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

birds have settled, for a time. In ri,u

the police for the right to shoot them.
Captain of Police Donaghy said that

sent Charles Hall, Janitor of tho Station
house, to the place. Hall and John
Struthors, Janitor of the school, cllmboi
to the school house roof and tried to
frighten the birds off by firing blanks
from shotguns. Soon a flood of tele
phone messages were coming to Captain

men wero 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.

Ijm 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.
