A little sermon which made Bessie think so much that she dreamed of it when the Dream Man came around last night. She dreamed of a witch who tapped her on the forehead with a wand; and straightway three little thoughts came popping out of her head and stood in a row before the frightened child. As Bessie looked at them one by one she recognized them by their shapes and sizes, their beauty or ugliness. She saw the thought she had had when little Nellie fell sick. This thought was a very beautiful little pink fairy, for Besste had thought to bring lie a new doll and a few apples and some candy which made the sick child feel ten times better and very happy. Then Bessie spled an ugly, {ll-shapen black thought and she knew it to be the one that she had when Bobbie's big locomotive engine ran over her very best doll and broke its arm he had thought of breaking the engine, even after Bobbie had apologized. And now as she looked at the mean eyes of the horrid thought she winced and decided that such thoughts could never make one happy so long as they stayed in one's head. ——No. 1—— {Her Thoughts: York World). She was very much relieved when her eyes met the bright, blue, dancing eyes of the cunning, harmless, mischievous thought that came to her the other day when Grandpa fell asleep in the big arm chair with his glasses on his nose.
