The Lost Ring. A A long ‘time ago a lady lost her wedding ring. It was a rich, plain gold ring, with her name and the date of her marriage marked on the inside ‘of ‘it." ‘She hunted the house for it, but it could not be found. She was very sorry about it; and so were her husband and children, but they had to give it up. More than a year afterwards, when the dinner was belug prepared one day, a turnip was cut open, and in the middle of the turnip was the lady’s lost ring! But how do you think it got there? 1 will tell you. It must have come off the lady’s finger when she washed her hands. The basin was empt'ed in the sink and the ring went into the cesspool. Then, in the spring, when the sink drain was cleaned out, its contents were carried into the field to enrich the land and the ring was carried out, too, When the turnip seeds were sown, a seed must have fallen in the middle of the ring; and then, as the little seed sprouted, and grew to be a little turnip, and got too large for the ring to held it, it just grew all over the ring, and took it in, till,' when the turnip was ripe, the ring was in the middle of it. The Jady was very glad to get her ring back again; and 1 think she was very careful of it after that. VENNA ROBERTSON, Age 10. Jewett City. What Our Cat Can Do. I want to tell you about our gray cat, Betty, for we think she is a very knowing cat people think that cats cannot t will learn almost anything. then through a hoop; then we r sit up like @ dog.and give ~first one paw, and then the then we taught her to lie down roll over. All these things, she will do for us very readily. But the last feat we have taught her, and much the best one, is to jump through a hoop that is covered With paper. We have got her so now that she will jump through a paper when it is held es high as my head; and that is pretty high, for I am eight years old. Now, if you could see Betty do these things, I think you would say that cats will learn almost as well*as dogs. Wi are going to teach Beity some more tricks, yet; and if you will call at my house some day, I will let you see her _perform. When we have company we always ! | make her show her learning, and It . his gallantry may prompt | i s real sport to see her If any le boys or girls who read will take pains and have patience can teach their Kkittens to do ame thing: [TA M. ROBERTSON, Age 8. The Spanish Dog. There was once a deg and his master loved him dearly. . One day the man said: “Come, Prince, we will take a ride out in the woods.” So the man_ hitched up his horse and started off. With him he took two bags of gold. When he came near the middle of the woods the man sald: “Prince, you watch these bags of gold while T take a nap.” The man slept an hour or so, and when he_awoke, he said: “Now, Prince, we will take the horse and ride home. ‘When he had gone a little way the dog kept jumping up before the horse. The man thought he was crazy and shot him in the leg, The dog went limping back to the bags of gold in the woods, and was lying beside them. The man thought there must be some- thing wrong and turned back. When the man saw the bags of go'd he knew what was wrong.! He thun bathed the dog’s leg in hot water and said: “I will always turn back for fear 1 am in trouble when a Cog barks.” SOPHIE THOM A Age 10 Taftville, The Tramp. Mr. and Mrs. Gray, one wintry night, were sitting around the table, and the children were sitting around their sis- ter, who was telling a story. They were listening with such attention that you could hear a pin drop. When 2 knock was heard, Mrs. Gray went to the door. May I please have something to eat?” pleaded the beggar. “Why, certainly!

Cap longed to slide down the poles as the firemen did, but of course that was something no dog could do. So, if he happened to be upstairs, as he often was, when the fire bell rang in the daytime, he would run to the stalrway, clear the steps at three bounds and spring on the seat beside the chief. But at night Cap stayed downstairs, sleeping very near the tel- cphone and fire bell; and when the alarm sounded the firemen would hear Cap’s loud “Bow-wow!" almost as soon as they heard the bell. No matter how quickly they dressed, they would al- ways find Cap in his place ahead of them. 3 “He is the best fifeman in the sta- | tion,” the chief would sometimes say “He is always dressed and ready fo work.” And the firemen would laugh and pat Cap's head and say that if they slept in their clothes, as Cap did. they, 100, would be ready and in their places in one minute. But no fireman ever slept after the bell rang, and not ome of them was ever known to say: “Wait a minute” or “T am too sleepy to go.” Even the horses would run to their places in the Instant they heard the bell, 0 Cap | thought it his place to do the same. 1ght little tricks like dogs, but | thing we taught her to do | to jump through my mamma's | ! up!n{nthfiy obeyed.

By and by they met an old mule with & man mule so that he tumbled down and threw his rider on his head. The man was so angry when he got up that he kicked the mule in the face, It made the boy who had the drum laugh so that he dropped it and broke one of the sides. But he picked it up and began to play again, After a while a policeman told them that they would have to go home and drum because it frightened so many horses. Then they went home. He showed his broken drum to his father, and he sent it off to have it repaired. EDWARD 8. JACKSON, Age 10. Mansfleld Center. A Little Hero. There was a widow with her son. They were very poor.

The floor was covered with gold pieces which the people had left as an offering. Little Marie, the daughter of a poor woodchopper, had a penny to buy bread. As she was passing the church she went in and placed her penny amongst all the gold. At this moment the bell began to ring (the one which would not ring) and the people ran to the church to see what the miracle was, but all they saw was a poor peasant girl kneeling at the altar, and a copper cent lying amongst the gold.
