The Young Chuck Profits by His Lesson. Who profits mot by Sure trouble und what e learns misfortane earns. d Mother Nature The runaway young Chuck, who had had such a narrow escape from Red- tail the Hawk, had had the first real fright of his life, and it had been a terrible fright. He was so frightened he lay flat down on the ground under a thick bush that for A moment or two he didn’t dare open his eyes. The last th saw before he closed them was claws, and fierce” eves, hooked Dbill flapping g wings. To th little Chuck Redtail had any times as big as he really wa en he did open his eves again the Chuck at first saw nothing of his ¢ enemy. Then he chanced to look jup through the bush under which he was hiding, and there he saw Redtail ready high up in the sky. - Had it not been that as he watched he saw Redtail grow smaller and smaller as he got farther and farther away, that little Chuck would have had hard work to I believe that that could be the terrible who had so nearly caught him Now there is this much about the liittle people of the Green Forest and jthe Green Meadows: They get just as terrible frights as boys and girls ever | get. but they get over them a great deal jquicker.

In- Ydeed, most charity could be dis- pensed with if humans once arranged to be fair with each other and stuck to it. For then we would have little poverty and few of those provoca- tions which give rise to sin. And forgiveness Is quite a secondary mat- ter. Forgiveness, unless you manage it very generously and tactfully, is a { presumptuous thing at any rate. It {implies a_superiority to the one for- given.
