should not bo allowed to neglect gym

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

to break down. Two very important
results of a college training are the
cultivation of tue power of quick per

LITTLE SQUIRE'S SCHOOL.
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,

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

timos this the little Squird notioed
with a great sinking of his heart the
little grandmother sat at the western
window and cried softly to herself.
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

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.
You must ceuia up and see it some
times." Then, to tbe amaeiueut of the spell
ing cUas, the littlo Squire bol l out
His arutoeratio baud to tbe commou

or soiuebo ly whom he respected very
much, and Anu llluabeth took it and
