Her Experience.
Leity was a little colored girl whose j
chief occupation was the bringing of
water from a distant spring. This ^
was very much to.her discomfort, for j
the summons to fill the empty water ;
bucket called her often from her j
play.
One day her youug mistress was
giving her a lesson In Hible history. -
the subject being Noah and the Hood. ;
"Letty," she said, "what did Noah ,
do when he found that the water was |
all gone?"
I ,etty, who had been giving scant at-
tention to the story, replied with a
sigh:
"I spec' he sent after mo'."
What He Calls Her.
"Now, Willie," Bald the teacher of
the primary class, "let us see whether
you can tell us the name of this grace
ful-looklng animal with the big,
pronged horns? Hunters go up Into '
the woods every fall to shoot this
beautiful creature. It Is very cruel of ;
them to do so. Is it not? Can't you
tell us what the animal is called?
Come, now, think. 1 am sure you
know what it is. What does your fa-
ther call your mother when he comes
home at night?"
"He calls her Betsy, 'cause it
plagues her."
