JOHNSTON' title='How Lilian Helped Her Brother, by Julia H. Johnston' /> +</center> + +<p>"May we go, mamma? Oh, do say yes. Please say yes."</p> + +<p>Lilian and her brother Earl were invited to a children's lawn party, +and, as they were not different from most other children, they were very +anxious to attend.</p> + +<p>"Lilian may go, but I am afraid to trust Earl," said mamma. "There will +certainly be ice cream and berries, cake and lemonade, and you know what +the doctor said, Earl. You think you are well, but you are not strong +after your illness and you are not to eat or drink anything ice-cold for +some time to come."</p> + +<p>"But I needn't eat things because they are there," said Earl, "and I +promise you, mamma, that I won't."</p> + +<p>"I'm sure he won't." Lilian added. "I don't care to go unless Earl can, +and I'll promise for him, too, that he'll be good."</p> + +<p>"That means that you will be his security," said mamma, smiling. "You +will be a surety for him, as they call it, and give your own pledge that +Earl will do his duty. Well, then, if you both promise, I will let you +go. You must learn to do right, even if there is temptation to do +wrong."</p> + +<p>So the loving brother and sister, who wished to go together, as brothers +and sisters should, went merrily off at the appointed time, and enjoyed +themselves with their playmates upon the lovely lawn.</p> + +<p>As they went in together, Lilian said, "Now, remember, Earl, that when +we have things to eat, you must not take ice cream and lemonade."</p> + +<p>"I'll remember," said Earl, and then, as it was a large party, the two +were soon separated. Lilian trusted her brother so fully that she did +not think it needful to speak to him again, and when refreshments were +served, she did not think of looking for him. As it happened, they were +far apart.</p> + +<p>Earl was very warm. His mother had told him to be careful about playing +too hard, but when interested in a game, the boy did not realize how +fast and far he ran. When the tempting ice cream, with berries, cake and +lemonade were passed, he allowed himself to be helped with the rest, +thinking only how hot he was and how good the cold things would taste. +He had eaten half his cream and half emptied his glass before he really +thought of his promise. Then he stopped suddenly, feeling sorry and +distressed.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus003.jpg' width='600' height='463' alt='The ice cream and lemonade prove too big a temptation.' +title='The ice cream and lemonade prove too big a temptation.' /> +</center> + +<center><b>The ice cream and lemonade prove too big a temptation.</b></center><br /> + +<p>"But what could I do?" he reasoned. "It would not be polite to ask for +just berries alone."</p> + +<p>This was Earl's second mistake. The first was forgetting his promise, +the second in thinking true obedience could ever be impolite.</p> + +<p>"I might as well finish now, for if it's going to hurt me it has +already, and the rest won't do any more harm."</p> + +<p>Mistake number three. Why should any wrongdoing be finished? Suppose a +driver should say about a horse, "He has a pretty big load now and so I +might as well pile on as much more as I can," would it be no worse for +the horse? Earl was entirely wrong.</p> + +<p>Of course he suffered for it. The doctor had to be sent for in the +night, and the next day, though better, he was ill and weak, and had to +stay in bed—something no boy was ever known to enjoy.</p> + +<p>He had hoped that the simple remedies mamma gave him as soon as he +confessed what he had done, and began to feel ill, would undo the +mischief, but they did not. Earl had to bear the full consequences of +his broken promise.</p> + +<p>"Dear Earl, I am so sorry you are sick," cried Lilian, when she came in +to see him the next morning.</p> + +<p>Kneeling by the bed she put one arm under his aching head and threw the +other over his shoulder, while Earl put one arm lovingly about his +sister.</p> + +<p>"I'm sorry, too," he said, "but really, Lilian, I'm sorrier that I did +wrong. Mamma is so sorry she trusted me, and she says maybe she ought +not to have let me go into temptation. She said that when we both +promised she felt sure, and so let us go. Isn't it mean not to keep a +promise when you're trusted?"</p> + +<p>"I was mean not to help you keep yours, when I promised to," Lilian +said, not wishing to scold Earl when he was ill in bed. "Mamma says," +she went on, "that when I went security for you it meant that I must +help you to keep your word as well as to say that I felt sure you would, +so I didn't do my part as I should, you see."</p> + +<p>"You told me to remember," said Earl.</p> + +<p>"But not at the right time," said wise Lilian. "I ought to have looked +to see if you remembered, when the time came. If I go your security +after this, and promise that you'll not forget, I'll watch and tell you +at the time."</p> + +<p>"Do," said Earl. "You can think of things easier," which was true, +Lilian being older and more thoughtful.</p> + +<p>So the sister promised to make it as sure as she could that her brother +would keep his promises after this. True, she sometimes forgot, herself, +and Earl was not always willing to do right, even when reminded, but +both were in earnest, and Lilian grew to be more and more of a help, +feeling the responsibility of being her brother's security. Who will +follow her example?</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<h3>REAL FUN.</h3> +<br /> + +<p>When Roy saw that Uncle Henry was in the shop getting the troughs and +pails ready for the spring sap running, he made up his mind to ask if he +couldn't go to the maple orchard with the men. He had heard them tell so +much about the happy days among the big maples that he had wanted to go +for a long while, and it seemed to Roy that he must be large enough this +year to take his turn at the sap gathering. He asked Uncle Henry about +it first.</p> + +<p>"Can't I go to the sugar camp this year?"</p> + +<p>Uncle Henry looked up from the buckets he was counting.</p> + +<p>"Maybe you can! I'm ready enough to take you along for a week. But I +want to tell you right here how it isn't all fun up there in the sugar +camp. You hear us talking about the best side of those days, and we +don't say anything about the backaches and such as that!"</p> + +<p>Roy was a little surprised to hear Uncle Henry speak like that, but he +was too brave to change his mind about going.</p> + +<p>"There must be a lot of fun," he said, "and it's manly to do hard +things."</p> + +<p>Uncle Henry nodded.</p> + +<p>"So 'tis! That's more real fun than playing at easy ones! If your folks +are willing, get ready to start for the sugaring with me to-morrow +morning. The yoke your father used when he was a boy is hanging up in +the shop, and I guess your shoulders have grown broad enough to hold it +on!" laughed Uncle Henry.</p> + +<p>The very next morning they started for the sugar camp far up on the side +of the mountain, and long before noontime they had built a fire in the +log shack, and Roy was out in the woods helping Uncle Henry tap the +maple trees.</p> + +<p>Every minute after that was a busy one. The nights were crisp with +frost, and the days were full of spring sunshine. For hours and hours +each day Roy trudged through the snow wearing on his shoulders the yoke +which had a pail hanging from either end, and after each trip into the +woods he would turn two brimming pails of sap into the big kettle +boiling over the fire.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus004.jpg' width='300' height='492' alt='After each trip into the woods Roy would turn two +brimming pails of sap into the big kettle.' +title='After each trip into the woods Roy would turn two brimming pails of sap into the big kettle.' /> +</center> + +<center><b>After each trip into the woods Roy would turn two<br /> +brimming pails of sap into the big kettle.</b></center><br /> + +<p>Sometimes his legs ached, and he got tired tramping through the snow, +and one pair of mittens grew quite useless for the holes worn in them. +But he did not give up one bit of his share of the work.</p> + +<p>For a whole week the sap ran freely, and then came the time for Roy to +leave the men and go home.</p> + +<p>"I'm going to miss you a whole lot!" declared Uncle Henry.</p> + +<p>Roy laughed happily. He was going down the mountain on the ox team which +was piled high with barrels of rich brown syrup.</p> + +<p>"I'd like to stay!" he said. "I've learned about what you said before I +came: that it's more real fun doing hard things than 'tis to play at +easy ones!"</p> + +<p>—<i>Written for Dew Drops by Ruby Holmes Martyn.</i></p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<h3>NEIGHBORS.</h3> +<br /> + +<p>Bobby made the snow man. He had made snow men in the country, and he +knew how. He always made them by the gate, next to the big syringa bush. +He used to cut a stick from a tree for the snow man to hold, and he +generally placed a long chicken feather in its cap.</p> + +<p>But in a city yard that was not even all your own yard, it was +different. Recently Bobby's father had come into town to live.</p> + +<p>In the same street lived Joey Rodman, who was about Bobby's age. The +afternoon that Bobby made the snow man Joey kept throwing stones. Bobby +tried not to mind. There was lots of snow in the yard, and he made the +snow man unusually large. The other children helped him, but Joey kept +calling out and throwing things, and at last he knocked off the head of +the snow man just as Bobby had put in two bits of coal for the eyes.</p> + +<p>Bobby could not stand that. He ran after Joey, and Joey dodged and +began to call him names. Joey's sister, Sadie, who cared for the six +children, heard the noise in the yard below.</p> + +<p>"Do you think it's your yard?" she called out to Bobby. "It is just as +much Joey's yard as it is yours!"</p> + +<p>Then Bobby's mother opened her window. "Come in, Bobby!" she said; and +when Bobby left the snow man and climbed upstairs, she said, "Son, we +mustn't quarrel with our neighbors, you know."</p> + +<p>"But Joey threw stones—"</p> + +<p>"Never mind," said mother. "We won't talk about that. Perhaps we'll get +to be friends with Joey after a while. And you remember about coals of +fire."</p> + +<p>That was mother's rule. Bobby knew that text about coals of fire so +well!</p> + +<p>"But I don't see how you could ever make coals of fire out of a snow +man, mother!" he said. And then mother laughed, and he laughed, too.</p> + +<p>After a while, Joey and the other children ran out into the street to +play. Bobby went down and finished the snow man with no one to trouble +him. He put on the head again, and placed an old broom under its arm. He +put it in very tight, so that no one could take it out easily.</p> + +<p>Joey's sister, Sadie, was bringing things out to the roof of the +two-story extension. It was a tin roof, and sloped a bit. Suddenly her +foot slipped, and she lost her balance. She clutched at a clothesline, +but it snapped. Down she came, and Bobby stood speechless with fright.</p> + +<p>But the snow man—the heroic snow man—was there to save her. Standing +firm and erect, he received the shock of Sadie's fall. It was too much +for his head. He lost that first, and then, as he went all to pieces, he +made a pillow for Sadie. Bobby ran forward.</p> + +<p>"Oh, oh, I never will say a word against that boy!" she said, sitting up +in the snow. "His snow man has saved me!" Bobby's mother came running +downstairs and out into the yard.</p> + +<p>"You poor child!" she said. "But I don't believe there's a bone broken. +Come right in and I'll give you a cup of hot tea."</p> + +<p>Sadie came, and Bobby followed. Behind him came Joey, and the two boys +lingered round while the tea was made. Sadie drank it, and smiled at +Bobby's mother.</p> + +<p>"We're neighbors. I always like my neighbors, and I want to help them if +I can," said Bobby's mother.</p> + +<p>"Well, you can count me as a neighbor who likes you," said Sadie. "Come +along, Joey—and mind you behave to Bobby like a good neighbor, too."</p> + +<p>Bobby climbed into his mother's lap after they had gone upstairs. "Coals +of snow are all right," he whispered in her ear.</p> + +<p>—<i>Selected.</i></p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<span style='margin-left: 2.5em;'>The thing that goes the farthest</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 3.5em;'>Toward making life worth while,</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 2.5em;'>That costs the least and does the most,</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 3.5em;'>Is just a pleasant smile."</span><br /> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<h3>O SANNA SAN.</h3> +<br /> + +<p>O Sanna San was a little Japanese girl whose home was among the +mountains of North Japan. Now because Japan is called the Flowery +Kingdom we are apt to think of it as a country where the sun always +shines and flowers are always in blossom. But in the northern part, +where O Sanna San lived, they have winter, and cold, and in January and +February the snow is three and four feet deep; the rivers and canals are +frozen over, the people wear wadded clothes, and many of them go about +on snowshoes.</p> + +<p>But O Sanna San would not go about, for she had fallen and hurt her back +so badly that she could not walk at all. Her father and mother were +Christians, and one day when a missionary came to their house he told +them about the hospital in the city, some thirty miles away, and that if +they would take O Sanna San there she might be cured.</p> + +<p>So it was that as O Sanna San looked out one snowy morning she saw her +father coming over the snow with a sleigh, which was like a little house +on runners, with a roof, a window and a door. Her mother told her it was +to take her to the hospital to see if she could be made well again.</p> + +<p>Then they wrapped O Sanna San warm, and laid her in the sleigh, and her +father put the ropes from the runners over his shoulders, took the pole +in his hand, and away they went. In many places in Japan when one +travels one must be either pulled or pushed by a man.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus005.jpg' width='605' height='400' alt='O Sanna San’s father takes her to the hospital.' +title='O Sanna San’s father takes her to the hospital.' /> +</center> + +<center><b>O Sanna San’s father takes her to the hospital.</b></center><br /> + +<p>All day he drew her over the snow, till they came to the city and +hospital. Forlorn enough O Sanna San felt when her father left her among +strangers, kind though they were. And when they laid her on one of the +hospital beds she was dreadfully frightened, because she had never even +seen a bed before, but had always slept on a mat on the floor, and she +did not dare to move for fear she would fall off.</p> + +<p>The days that came after were still worse, for the doctor put her in a +plaster cast, so she had to lie straight and stiff like a wooden doll, +and she was so homesick she could hardly speak, and her big black eyes +were full of tears most of the time. But one day a little girl came down +between the white beds and stopped at hers. O Sanna San had never seen +anyone like her before; for her eyes were blue, her hair yellow, and her +skin was not brown, but pink and white.</p> + +<p>"I am Frances," she said, "my papa is the doctor. He told me about you, +so I have brought you my doll and a picture book."</p> + +<p>"I shall love the doll," said O Sanna San, "but I cannot read, there is +no school in our village."</p> + +<p>"Never mind," Frances smiled, "I am coming to see you every day, and I +will teach you to read. My papa says you will soon be able to walk +again, then you shall go with me to the Plum Blossom school for girls."</p> + +<p>O Sanna San's eyes were shining. "Oh, I shall not be homesick any more."</p> + +<p>—<i>Written for Dew Drops by Adele E. Thompson.</i></p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<h3>SAM'S LITTLE DOG.</h3> +<br /> + +<p>"Mother," cried Sam, raising his tousled head up from his no less +tousled pillow, "I had the funniest dream you ever heard."</p> + +<p>"Well," said mother, drawing the comb through her long brown hair, "I'll +give you just five minutes to tell it in; then you must jump up quickly +and run over to the bathroom."</p> + +<p>"It seems to me I was dreaming it all night," said Sam, "but I believe I +can tell it in less than five minutes: I thought I was going along, and +a little black dog was following me. As long as I kept walking on +straight ahead he trotted on behind me like a lamb, but every time I got +out of the path, and tried to cross the fields, he barked and snapped at +me till I came back to the path.</p> + +<p>"I got tired staying in the path, so I dashed out on one side presently, +but the doggie barked so furiously that I got scared and climbed a +little tree. Just as I got to the top, the tree broke off at the roots +and 'down came Sammy, tree top and all.' The fall woke me, and I found I +had rolled out of bed. Wasn't that a funny dream?"</p> + +<p>"Sam," said his mother, who had been much interested in his dream, +"don't you wish you had a little dog to go around with you and bark when +you went out of the right way?"</p> + +<p>"I don't know, mother," answered Sam, doubtfully; "maybe I don't."</p> + +<p>"I hoped you would say you did," said mother, looking disappointed, "and +I was going to tell you that conscience was that very little dog, and if +you tried to get away from conscience's barks, either up a tree or +elsewhere, you would certainly fall and come to grief. Time's up, little +boy; hie off to the bathroom."</p> + +<p>—<i>Selected.</i></p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<center> +<img src='images/illus006.png' width='500' height='105' alt='Knowledge Box' title='Knowledge Box' /> +</center> + +<h3>How Eskimo Dogs Sleep on a Journey</h3> +<br /> + +<p>You have heard a great deal, very likely, about Eskimo dogs that haul +the sledges over the snow in Alaska. Have you ever heard what becomes of +them at night, when the traveler must stop in a snowstorm? Would you +like to hear?</p> + +<p>When the traveler with his guides must stop, the sledge is turned up, +and the men get into their fur sleeping-bags, and lie down under such +protection as it offers, if there is nothing better. But the dogs are +all turned loose. You would think that there was danger of not finding +them in the morning, but there is no danger of that at all. When it is +time to get up next day, the guides look around, and see as many snow +mounds as there are dogs in the train, and in each mound where a dog has +burrowed, and let the snow cover him, is a hole made by his breath. It +is very easy to find the dogs by these holes, and they never go far from +the sledge.</p> + +<p>—<i>Written for Dew Drops by Julia H.

There she stood in the +middle of the yard, her tiny brows drawn together in a pucker, one +finger resting between her rosy lips in a way that would have been +irresistibly lovely if the lips had been smiling instead of pouting, her +eyes cast down on the ground at her feet.</p> + +<p>"I sha'n't! I sha'n't!" she kept saying every now and again, with a +shake of her short, sturdy self.</p> + +<p>"Judiet, come here!" called her mother from the kitchen, where she was +making a pie for dinner. "Why, what's the matter, child?" she added, as +she saw the very evident traces of displeasure on her little daughter's +face.</p> + +<p>"It's Tom, and I'll never forgive him!" she cried.</p> + +<p>"Hush! hush! you mustn't say that, Judy. What has Tom been doing?"</p> + +<p>"He's gone off playing, and he wouldn't let me go with him, and Daisy's +gone with her brother."</p> + +<p>"But perhaps Tom has gone some place where it would be too far for you +to walk," said Mrs. Tewsbury, as she sliced the apples into the dish.</p> + +<p>"He's only gone to watch the boys fly their kites, and he said I should +stay home and play with my dolls. But I sha'n't!"</p> + +<p>"Well, Judy, I want you to go to the store for me, and then, when you +come back, we'll talk about Tom. There, run along now. Get the basket +and bring me two pounds of sugar."</p> + +<p>Judy started on her errand, her little heart very sore against the +brother who rarely found time to make things pleasant for his sister. +Tom always had something he wanted to do when Judy asked him to help +her. He had felt a little prick as he went off that morning, when he +remembered that George Brown had promised to take his sister with him to +the top of the hill. "Oh, Judy couldn't walk so far!" he tried to +comfort himself by saying. "I'll take her to some other place another +day." But Master Tom knew he was making a promise to himself that he was +not likely to keep.</p> + +<p>And so Judy went to the store, and by the time she returned home she did +not feel quite so angry with Tom. Perhaps her mother hoped this would be +the case when she sent her little daughter. It is always well to wait +and think when one feels angry, before saying things that afterward one +will be sorry for having spoken.</p> + +<p>"Judy, I've been thinking," said Mrs. Tewsbury, as the girl entered the +kitchen, "that we'll teach Tom a lesson. Shall we?"</p> + +<p>"What kind of a lesson, mamma?" asked Judy.</p> + +<p>"A good lesson, of course. Now, when he comes home he'll expect to find +you cross, and perhaps sulky with him. Suppose, instead, he finds you +smiling and with a nice little apple turnover that you have made for +him; what do you suppose he will think? Why, that you are too good a +girl to be treated so badly; and, perhaps, too, if he sees you smiling +and loving, he will realize how much better it is to be that way than +selfish as he has been."</p> + +<p>"Oh, mamma!" And now there were no frowns on Judy's rosy, dimpled face; +nothing but smiles. To make a turnover was a delightful treat in itself. +But to help Tom to be a nice boy was more of a satisfaction. So the +little girl started to work, and under her mother's tuition soon had a +very wonderful-looking turnover made and baked.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus008.png' width='453' height='612' alt='The frowns had all left.' +title='The frowns had all left.' /> +</center> + +<center><b>The frowns had all left.</b></center><br /> + +<p>"I'd most like to put salt in instead of sugar, just to pay Tom up," +Judy thought to herself; and then a better feeling came to her and she +added: "Oh, no. I wouldn't, 'cause that wouldn't be right. I want Tom to +think I'm as nice as Daisy's brother thinks she is."</p> + +<p>Master Tom came home whistling shortly after the dainty had been removed +from the oven. He thought Judy would be waiting for him with angry +words. So she was waiting for him, but with a beautiful smile, a rosy +face, and on a plate in her hand what seemed to Tom a very delicious +tit-bit.</p> + +<p>"I made it—made it for you, all by myself. Mamma said I could."</p> + +<p>"Oh, Judy! And I wouldn't take you with me!" exclaimed Tom regretfully.</p> + +<p>"But you will next time, if I'm good; won't you, Tom?" said Judy, +coaxingly.</p> + +<p>"As true as my name's Tom Tewsbury. I say, Judy, it was good of you to +make this for me, when I don't deserve it, but I won't forget it of +you."</p> + +<p>And Judy felt well paid for her turnover.</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<h3>HELPFUL AND HAPPY.</h3> +<br /> + +<p><span style='margin-left: 2.5em;'>"I am so little!" sighed Helen,</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 3.5em;'>"Tell me, dear mamma, the way,</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 2.5em;'>How to make somebody happy;</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 3.5em;'>How to be helpful each day."</span><br /> +<br /> +<span style='margin-left: 2.5em;'>Mamma replied: "To be helpful,</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 3.5em;'>Be of a sweet, willing mood;</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 2.5em;'>And, to make somebody happy.</span><br /> +<span style='margin-left: 3.5em;'>Little girls need to be good."</span><br /></p> + +<p><i>Written for Dew Drops by Eugene C.

He said the ground of a certain rich man brought forth very large +harvests.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus010.png' width='400' height='326' alt='Illustration' /> +</center> + +<p>3. The man had so many good things he did not know where to put them.</p> + +<p>4. He did not share with his poorer neighbors.</p> + +<p>5. He forgot that God gave him all his good things.</p> + +<p>6. He made up his mind to keep all he had for himself.</p> + +<p>7. He said he would pull down his barns and build larger ones.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus011.png' width='400' height='364' alt='Illustration' /> +</center> + +<p>8. He planned to store his wealth in these larger barns, and having +nothing else to do would eat, drink, and be merry.</p> + +<center> +<img src='images/illus012.png' width='400' height='296' alt='Illustration' /> +</center> + +<p>9. He was a foolish, selfish man, and his plans were all spoiled.</p> + +<p>10. That night God called for his soul, and he had to leave all his +wealth.</p> + +<p>11. He was very poor in God's sight, for his wealth was not of the kind +that he could take beyond the grave.</p> + +<p>12. It is foolish for us to love money too much, for if we do, we may +neglect our souls while we are trying to get more of it.</p> + +<p>13.

Do not let them show rudeness at +home, and then expect them to be polite in company. Politeness is not +inborn, it has to be cultivated. It is a singular fact that parents +allow their children to treat their brothers and sisters with little or +no respect; this is one great cause of inharmony in many homes. Some +parents think that to have their children pay too much attention to the +rules of politeness, is apt to make them too formal. Better a little +formality than actual rudeness.</p> + +<p>If there is any place in the world where true politeness and +consideration should be shown, it is at home, and a parent cannot begin +too early to teach such acts to a child. Remember that true politeness +begins in the heart: "Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth +speaketh."</p> + +<p>An earnest desire to "do unto others as I would that they should do unto +me," should be a child's motive power to impel to acts of kindness and +politeness. See that the heart is kept right, and your child will be +truly polite.</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<center> +<img src='images/illus014.png' width='500' height='105' alt='Advice to Boys and Girls' +title='Advice to Boys and Girls' /> +</center> + +<h3>A Welcome Little Guest.</h3> +<br /> + +<p>Eloise had been visiting at the home of her mother's girlhood friend, +and the latter said to the little girl when she was leaving: "I hope +your mother will allow you to come soon again; it has been such a +pleasure having you with us."</p> + +<p>Eloise is just turned eight years old, and perhaps you wonder how she +made herself a welcome guest; it would doubtless seem that when so young +a girl goes visiting without her mother, she might be more of a care +than a pleasure. In the first place, Eloise was careful not to go +farther than the end of the block when she went outdoors to play; the +end of the block was as far as Mrs. Dawson could see from the +sitting-room window and, as she said she did not want Eloise out of her +sight, Eloise took pains to remain within it. When either Mr. or Mrs. +Dawson asked her to sing one of her dear little songs, she did so +willingly, though it was very hard to sing the first time before Mr. +Dawson who was a complete stranger to her. In short, whatever Eloise +could do to please her hostess, she did, and she tried to leave undone +the things she thought would not please her. Perhaps Eloise did not +think of it that way, but she just followed the Golden Rule, and it is a +very good rule to follow, either at home or when visiting, or, indeed, +at any time.</p> + +<p>—<i>Written for Dew Drops by Marie Deacon Hanson.</i></p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<p>It is good to see the way a brave, manly boy goes through the day, +shirking no duty, but doing cheerfully whatever his hand finds to do.</p> + + + +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> +<p>[Entered at the Post Office at Elgin, Ill., as Second Class Mail +Matter.]</p> + +<p>Price of Dew Drops.—In lots of five or more, to one address, 20 cents +per copy per year, or 5-1/2 cents per copy per quarter.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S.

Oh, do say yes. Please say yes." + +Lilian and her brother Earl were invited to a children's lawn party, +and, as they were not different from most other children, they were very +anxious to attend. + +"Lilian may go, but I am afraid to trust Earl," said mamma. "There will +certainly be ice cream and berries, cake and lemonade, and you know what +the doctor said, Earl. You think you are well, but you are not strong +after your illness and you are not to eat or drink anything ice-cold for +some time to come." + +"But I needn't eat things because they are there," said Earl, "and I +promise you, mamma, that I won't." + +"I'm sure he won't." Lilian added. "I don't care to go unless Earl can, +and I'll promise for him, too, that he'll be good." + +"That means that you will be his security," said mamma, smiling. "You +will be a surety for him, as they call it, and give your own pledge that +Earl will do his duty. Well, then, if you both promise, I will let you +go. You must learn to do right, even if there is temptation to do +wrong." + +So the loving brother and sister, who wished to go together, as brothers +and sisters should, went merrily off at the appointed time, and enjoyed +themselves with their playmates upon the lovely lawn. + +As they went in together, Lilian said, "Now, remember, Earl, that when +we have things to eat, you must not take ice cream and lemonade." + +"I'll remember," said Earl, and then, as it was a large party, the two +were soon separated. Lilian trusted her brother so fully that she did +not think it needful to speak to him again, and when refreshments were +served, she did not think of looking for him. As it happened, they were +far apart. + +Earl was very warm. His mother had told him to be careful about playing +too hard, but when interested in a game, the boy did not realize how +fast and far he ran. When the tempting ice cream, with berries, cake and +lemonade were passed, he allowed himself to be helped with the rest, +thinking only how hot he was and how good the cold things would taste. +He had eaten half his cream and half emptied his glass before he really +thought of his promise. Then he stopped suddenly, feeling sorry and +distressed. + +[Illustration: The ice cream and lemonade prove too big a temptation.] + +"But what could I do?" he reasoned. "It would not be polite to ask for +just berries alone." + +This was Earl's second mistake. The first was forgetting his promise, +the second in thinking true obedience could ever be impolite. + +"I might as well finish now, for if it's going to hurt me it has +already, and the rest won't do any more harm." + +Mistake number three. Why should any wrongdoing be finished? Suppose a +driver should say about a horse, "He has a pretty big load now and so I +might as well pile on as much more as I can," would it be no worse for +the horse? Earl was entirely wrong. + +Of course he suffered for it. The doctor had to be sent for in the +night, and the next day, though better, he was ill and weak, and had to +stay in bed--something no boy was ever known to enjoy. + +He had hoped that the simple remedies mamma gave him as soon as he +confessed what he had done, and began to feel ill, would undo the +mischief, but they did not. Earl had to bear the full consequences of +his broken promise. + +"Dear Earl, I am so sorry you are sick," cried Lilian, when she came in +to see him the next morning. + +Kneeling by the bed she put one arm under his aching head and threw the +other over his shoulder, while Earl put one arm lovingly about his +sister. + +"I'm sorry, too," he said, "but really, Lilian, I'm sorrier that I did +wrong. Mamma is so sorry she trusted me, and she says maybe she ought +not to have let me go into temptation. She said that when we both +promised she felt sure, and so let us go. Isn't it mean not to keep a +promise when you're trusted?" + +"I was mean not to help you keep yours, when I promised to," Lilian +said, not wishing to scold Earl when he was ill in bed. "Mamma says," +she went on, "that when I went security for you it meant that I must +help you to keep your word as well as to say that I felt sure you would, +so I didn't do my part as I should, you see." + +"You told me to remember," said Earl. + +"But not at the right time," said wise Lilian. "I ought to have looked +to see if you remembered, when the time came. If I go your security +after this, and promise that you'll not forget, I'll watch and tell you +at the time." + +"Do," said Earl. "You can think of things easier," which was true, +Lilian being older and more thoughtful. + +So the sister promised to make it as sure as she could that her brother +would keep his promises after this. True, she sometimes forgot, herself, +and Earl was not always willing to do right, even when reminded, but +both were in earnest, and Lilian grew to be more and more of a help, +feeling the responsibility of being her brother's security. Who will +follow her example? + + + + +REAL FUN. + + +When Roy saw that Uncle Henry was in the shop getting the troughs and +pails ready for the spring sap running, he made up his mind to ask if he +couldn't go to the maple orchard with the men. He had heard them tell so +much about the happy days among the big maples that he had wanted to go +for a long while, and it seemed to Roy that he must be large enough this +year to take his turn at the sap gathering. He asked Uncle Henry about +it first. + +"Can't I go to the sugar camp this year?" + +Uncle Henry looked up from the buckets he was counting. + +"Maybe you can! I'm ready enough to take you along for a week. But I +want to tell you right here how it isn't all fun up there in the sugar +camp. You hear us talking about the best side of those days, and we +don't say anything about the backaches and such as that!" + +Roy was a little surprised to hear Uncle Henry speak like that, but he +was too brave to change his mind about going. + +"There must be a lot of fun," he said, "and it's manly to do hard +things." + +Uncle Henry nodded. + +"So 'tis! That's more real fun than playing at easy ones! If your folks +are willing, get ready to start for the sugaring with me to-morrow +morning. The yoke your father used when he was a boy is hanging up in +the shop, and I guess your shoulders have grown broad enough to hold it +on!" laughed Uncle Henry. + +The very next morning they started for the sugar camp far up on the side +of the mountain, and long before noontime they had built a fire in the +log shack, and Roy was out in the woods helping Uncle Henry tap the +maple trees. + +Every minute after that was a busy one. The nights were crisp with +frost, and the days were full of spring sunshine. For hours and hours +each day Roy trudged through the snow wearing on his shoulders the yoke +which had a pail hanging from either end, and after each trip into the +woods he would turn two brimming pails of sap into the big kettle +boiling over the fire. + +[Illustration: After each trip into the woods Roy would turn two +brimming pails of sap into the big kettle.] + +Sometimes his legs ached, and he got tired tramping through the snow, +and one pair of mittens grew quite useless for the holes worn in them. +But he did not give up one bit of his share of the work. + +For a whole week the sap ran freely, and then came the time for Roy to +leave the men and go home. + +"I'm going to miss you a whole lot!" declared Uncle Henry. + +Roy laughed happily. He was going down the mountain on the ox team which +was piled high with barrels of rich brown syrup. + +"I'd like to stay!" he said. "I've learned about what you said before I +came: that it's more real fun doing hard things than 'tis to play at +easy ones!" + +--_Written for Dew Drops by Ruby Holmes Martyn._ + + + + +NEIGHBORS. + + +Bobby made the snow man. He had made snow men in the country, and he +knew how. He always made them by the gate, next to the big syringa bush. +He used to cut a stick from a tree for the snow man to hold, and he +generally placed a long chicken feather in its cap. + +But in a city yard that was not even all your own yard, it was +different. Recently Bobby's father had come into town to live. + +In the same street lived Joey Rodman, who was about Bobby's age. The +afternoon that Bobby made the snow man Joey kept throwing stones. Bobby +tried not to mind. There was lots of snow in the yard, and he made the +snow man unusually large. The other children helped him, but Joey kept +calling out and throwing things, and at last he knocked off the head of +the snow man just as Bobby had put in two bits of coal for the eyes. + +Bobby could not stand that. He ran after Joey, and Joey dodged and +began to call him names. Joey's sister, Sadie, who cared for the six +children, heard the noise in the yard below. + +"Do you think it's your yard?" she called out to Bobby. "It is just as +much Joey's yard as it is yours!" + +Then Bobby's mother opened her window. "Come in, Bobby!" she said; and +when Bobby left the snow man and climbed upstairs, she said, "Son, we +mustn't quarrel with our neighbors, you know." + +"But Joey threw stones--" + +"Never mind," said mother. "We won't talk about that. Perhaps we'll get +to be friends with Joey after a while. And you remember about coals of +fire." + +That was mother's rule. Bobby knew that text about coals of fire so +well! + +"But I don't see how you could ever make coals of fire out of a snow +man, mother!" he said. And then mother laughed, and he laughed, too. + +After a while, Joey and the other children ran out into the street to +play. Bobby went down and finished the snow man with no one to trouble +him. He put on the head again, and placed an old broom under its arm. He +put it in very tight, so that no one could take it out easily. + +Joey's sister, Sadie, was bringing things out to the roof of the +two-story extension. It was a tin roof, and sloped a bit. Suddenly her +foot slipped, and she lost her balance. She clutched at a clothesline, +but it snapped. Down she came, and Bobby stood speechless with fright. + +But the snow man--the heroic snow man--was there to save her. Standing +firm and erect, he received the shock of Sadie's fall. It was too much +for his head. He lost that first, and then, as he went all to pieces, he +made a pillow for Sadie. Bobby ran forward. + +"Oh, oh, I never will say a word against that boy!" she said, sitting up +in the snow. "His snow man has saved me!" Bobby's mother came running +downstairs and out into the yard. + +"You poor child!" she said. "But I don't believe there's a bone broken. +Come right in and I'll give you a cup of hot tea." + +Sadie came, and Bobby followed. Behind him came Joey, and the two boys +lingered round while the tea was made. Sadie drank it, and smiled at +Bobby's mother. + +"We're neighbors. I always like my neighbors, and I want to help them if +I can," said Bobby's mother. + +"Well, you can count me as a neighbor who likes you," said Sadie. "Come +along, Joey--and mind you behave to Bobby like a good neighbor, too." + +Bobby climbed into his mother's lap after they had gone upstairs. "Coals +of snow are all right," he whispered in her ear. + +--_Selected._ + + + + + "The thing that goes the farthest + Toward making life worth while, + That costs the least and does the most, + Is just a pleasant smile." + + + + +O SANNA SAN. + + +O Sanna San was a little Japanese girl whose home was among the +mountains of North Japan. Now because Japan is called the Flowery +Kingdom we are apt to think of it as a country where the sun always +shines and flowers are always in blossom. But in the northern part, +where O Sanna San lived, they have winter, and cold, and in January and +February the snow is three and four feet deep; the rivers and canals are +frozen over, the people wear wadded clothes, and many of them go about +on snowshoes. + +But O Sanna San would not go about, for she had fallen and hurt her back +so badly that she could not walk at all. Her father and mother were +Christians, and one day when a missionary came to their house he told +them about the hospital in the city, some thirty miles away, and that if +they would take O Sanna San there she might be cured. + +So it was that as O Sanna San looked out one snowy morning she saw her +father coming over the snow with a sleigh, which was like a little house +on runners, with a roof, a window and a door. Her mother told her it was +to take her to the hospital to see if she could be made well again. + +Then they wrapped O Sanna San warm, and laid her in the sleigh, and her +father put the ropes from the runners over his shoulders, took the pole +in his hand, and away they went. In many places in Japan when one +travels one must be either pulled or pushed by a man. + +[Illustration: O Sanna San's father takes her to the hospital.] + +All day he drew her over the snow, till they came to the city and +hospital. Forlorn enough O Sanna San felt when her father left her among +strangers, kind though they were. And when they laid her on one of the +hospital beds she was dreadfully frightened, because she had never even +seen a bed before, but had always slept on a mat on the floor, and she +did not dare to move for fear she would fall off. + +The days that came after were still worse, for the doctor put her in a +plaster cast, so she had to lie straight and stiff like a wooden doll, +and she was so homesick she could hardly speak, and her big black eyes +were full of tears most of the time. But one day a little girl came down +between the white beds and stopped at hers. O Sanna San had never seen +anyone like her before; for her eyes were blue, her hair yellow, and her +skin was not brown, but pink and white. + +"I am Frances," she said, "my papa is the doctor. He told me about you, +so I have brought you my doll and a picture book." + +"I shall love the doll," said O Sanna San, "but I cannot read, there is +no school in our village." + +"Never mind," Frances smiled, "I am coming to see you every day, and I +will teach you to read. My papa says you will soon be able to walk +again, then you shall go with me to the Plum Blossom school for girls." + +O Sanna San's eyes were shining. "Oh, I shall not be homesick any more." + +--_Written for Dew Drops by Adele E. Thompson._ + + + + +SAM'S LITTLE DOG. + + +"Mother," cried Sam, raising his tousled head up from his no less +tousled pillow, "I had the funniest dream you ever heard." + +"Well," said mother, drawing the comb through her long brown hair, "I'll +give you just five minutes to tell it in; then you must jump up quickly +and run over to the bathroom." + +"It seems to me I was dreaming it all night," said Sam, "but I believe I +can tell it in less than five minutes: I thought I was going along, and +a little black dog was following me. As long as I kept walking on +straight ahead he trotted on behind me like a lamb, but every time I got +out of the path, and tried to cross the fields, he barked and snapped at +me till I came back to the path. + +"I got tired staying in the path, so I dashed out on one side presently, +but the doggie barked so furiously that I got scared and climbed a +little tree. Just as I got to the top, the tree broke off at the roots +and 'down came Sammy, tree top and all.' The fall woke me, and I found I +had rolled out of bed. Wasn't that a funny dream?" + +"Sam," said his mother, who had been much interested in his dream, +"don't you wish you had a little dog to go around with you and bark when +you went out of the right way?" + +"I don't know, mother," answered Sam, doubtfully; "maybe I don't." + +"I hoped you would say you did," said mother, looking disappointed, "and +I was going to tell you that conscience was that very little dog, and if +you tried to get away from conscience's barks, either up a tree or +elsewhere, you would certainly fall and come to grief. Time's up, little +boy; hie off to the bathroom." + +--_Selected._ + + + + ++---------------+ +| | +| Knowledge Box | +| | ++---------------+ + +How Eskimo Dogs Sleep on a Journey + + +You have heard a great deal, very likely, about Eskimo dogs that haul +the sledges over the snow in Alaska. Have you ever heard what becomes of +them at night, when the traveler must stop in a snowstorm? Would you +like to hear? + +When the traveler with his guides must stop, the sledge is turned up, +and the men get into their fur sleeping-bags, and lie down under such +protection as it offers, if there is nothing better. But the dogs are +all turned loose. You would think that there was danger of not finding +them in the morning, but there is no danger of that at all. When it is +time to get up next day, the guides look around, and see as many snow +mounds as there are dogs in the train, and in each mound where a dog has +burrowed, and let the snow cover him, is a hole made by his breath. It +is very easy to find the dogs by these holes, and they never go far from +the sledge. + +--_Written for Dew Drops by Julia H. Johnston._ + + + + +JUDY'S REVENGE + +By Dorothy Hartley + +[Illustration] + + +It was very evident that Judy was in trouble. There she stood in the +middle of the yard, her tiny brows drawn together in a pucker, one +finger resting between her rosy lips in a way that would have been +irresistibly lovely if the lips had been smiling instead of pouting, her +eyes cast down on the ground at her feet. + +"I sha'n't! I sha'n't!" she kept saying every now and again, with a +shake of her short, sturdy self. + +"Judiet, come here!" called her mother from the kitchen, where she was +making a pie for dinner. "Why, what's the matter, child?" she added, as +she saw the very evident traces of displeasure on her little daughter's +face. + +"It's Tom, and I'll never forgive him!" she cried. + +"Hush! hush! you mustn't say that, Judy. What has Tom been doing?" + +"He's gone off playing, and he wouldn't let me go with him, and Daisy's +gone with her brother." + +"But perhaps Tom has gone some place where it would be too far for you +to walk," said Mrs. Tewsbury, as she sliced the apples into the dish. + +"He's only gone to watch the boys fly their kites, and he said I should +stay home and play with my dolls. But I sha'n't!" + +"Well, Judy, I want you to go to the store for me, and then, when you +come back, we'll talk about Tom. There, run along now. Get the basket +and bring me two pounds of sugar." + +Judy started on her errand, her little heart very sore against the +brother who rarely found time to make things pleasant for his sister. +Tom always had something he wanted to do when Judy asked him to help +her. He had felt a little prick as he went off that morning, when he +remembered that George Brown had promised to take his sister with him to +the top of the hill. "Oh, Judy couldn't walk so far!" he tried to +comfort himself by saying. "I'll take her to some other place another +day." But Master Tom knew he was making a promise to himself that he was +not likely to keep. + +And so Judy went to the store, and by the time she returned home she did +not feel quite so angry with Tom. Perhaps her mother hoped this would be +the case when she sent her little daughter. It is always well to wait +and think when one feels angry, before saying things that afterward one +will be sorry for having spoken. + +"Judy, I've been thinking," said Mrs. Tewsbury, as the girl entered the +kitchen, "that we'll teach Tom a lesson. Shall we?" + +"What kind of a lesson, mamma?" asked Judy. + +"A good lesson, of course. Now, when he comes home he'll expect to find +you cross, and perhaps sulky with him. Suppose, instead, he finds you +smiling and with a nice little apple turnover that you have made for +him; what do you suppose he will think? Why, that you are too good a +girl to be treated so badly; and, perhaps, too, if he sees you smiling +and loving, he will realize how much better it is to be that way than +selfish as he has been." + +"Oh, mamma!" And now there were no frowns on Judy's rosy, dimpled face; +nothing but smiles. To make a turnover was a delightful treat in itself. +But to help Tom to be a nice boy was more of a satisfaction. So the +little girl started to work, and under her mother's tuition soon had a +very wonderful-looking turnover made and baked. + +[Illustration: The frowns had all left.] + +"I'd most like to put salt in instead of sugar, just to pay Tom up," +Judy thought to herself; and then a better feeling came to her and she +added: "Oh, no. I wouldn't, 'cause that wouldn't be right. I want Tom to +think I'm as nice as Daisy's brother thinks she is." + +Master Tom came home whistling shortly after the dainty had been removed +from the oven. He thought Judy would be waiting for him with angry +words. So she was waiting for him, but with a beautiful smile, a rosy +face, and on a plate in her hand what seemed to Tom a very delicious +tit-bit. + +"I made it--made it for you, all by myself. Mamma said I could." + +"Oh, Judy! And I wouldn't take you with me!" exclaimed Tom regretfully. + +"But you will next time, if I'm good; won't you, Tom?" said Judy, +coaxingly. + +"As true as my name's Tom Tewsbury. I say, Judy, it was good of you to +make this for me, when I don't deserve it, but I won't forget it of +you." + +And Judy felt well paid for her turnover. + + + + +HELPFUL AND HAPPY. + + + "I am so little!" sighed Helen, + "Tell me, dear mamma, the way, + How to make somebody happy; + How to be helpful each day." + + Mamma replied: "To be helpful, + Be of a sweet, willing mood; + And, to make somebody happy. + Little girls need to be good." + +_Written for Dew Drops by Eugene C.

Do not let them show rudeness at +home, and then expect them to be polite in company. Politeness is not +inborn, it has to be cultivated. It is a singular fact that parents +allow their children to treat their brothers and sisters with little or +no respect; this is one great cause of inharmony in many homes. Some +parents think that to have their children pay too much attention to the +rules of politeness, is apt to make them too formal. Better a little +formality than actual rudeness. + +If there is any place in the world where true politeness and +consideration should be shown, it is at home, and a parent cannot begin +too early to teach such acts to a child. Remember that true politeness +begins in the heart: "Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth +speaketh." + +An earnest desire to "do unto others as I would that they should do unto +me," should be a child's motive power to impel to acts of kindness and +politeness. See that the heart is kept right, and your child will be +truly polite. + + + + ++--------------------------+ +| | +| Advice to Boys and Girls | +| | ++--------------------------+ + +A Welcome Little Guest. + + +Eloise had been visiting at the home of her mother's girlhood friend, +and the latter said to the little girl when she was leaving: "I hope +your mother will allow you to come soon again; it has been such a +pleasure having you with us." + +Eloise is just turned eight years old, and perhaps you wonder how she +made herself a welcome guest; it would doubtless seem that when so young +a girl goes visiting without her mother, she might be more of a care +than a pleasure. In the first place, Eloise was careful not to go +farther than the end of the block when she went outdoors to play; the +end of the block was as far as Mrs. Dawson could see from the +sitting-room window and, as she said she did not want Eloise out of her +sight, Eloise took pains to remain within it. When either Mr. or Mrs. +Dawson asked her to sing one of her dear little songs, she did so +willingly, though it was very hard to sing the first time before Mr. +Dawson who was a complete stranger to her. In short, whatever Eloise +could do to please her hostess, she did, and she tried to leave undone +the things she thought would not please her. Perhaps Eloise did not +think of it that way, but she just followed the Golden Rule, and it is a +very good rule to follow, either at home or when visiting, or, indeed, +at any time. + +--_Written for Dew Drops by Marie Deacon Hanson._ + + + + +It is good to see the way a brave, manly boy goes through the day, +shirking no duty, but doing cheerfully whatever his hand finds to do. + + + + +[Entered at the Post Office at Elgin, Ill., as Second Class Mail +Matter.] + +Price of Dew Drops.--In lots of five or more, to one address, 20 cents +per copy per year, or 5-1/2 cents per copy per quarter.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/15494.zip b/15494.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7735877 --- /dev/null +++ b/15494.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
