+
+
+THE LITTLE TEACHER.
+
+
+I know of a little girl, who, like Mozart, shows a great talent for
+music, though she is not yet ten years old. Before she could walk, it
+seemed to be her delight to creep along the floor to the piano, draw
+herself up so as to touch the key-board, and then strike the different
+keys.
+
+Some of the sounds were pleasing to her, and from some she would start
+and draw back, as if she were hurt. A false note in music seemed to
+inflict pain, while she would show great pleasure when the harmony was
+perfect.
+
+This little girl, whose name is Laura, has been so faithful in studying
+the rules of music, that, young as she is, she is employed to teach it
+to children still younger than herself. As her parents are poor, she is
+paid well for this service. In the picture you may see her standing,
+while Emma Dean, one of her little pupils, occupies the music-stool.
+
+"Oh, I shall never learn to play like you, Miss Laura," says Emma.
+
+"Pray don't call me _Miss_," says Laura; "for I am but a little girl
+like yourself."
+
+"But then you know so much more than I do, that I like to call you
+_Miss_," says Emma. "Are you not my teacher?"
+
+"I try to be," says Laura; "but, if we talk instead of work, we shall
+not make much improvement. Now let me hear you play over this exercise
+once more."
+
+"But I have played it a dozen times," says Emma. "Let us try something
+new."
+
+"You have played it a dozen times; but you must play it two hundred
+times more, if you expect to be perfect in it," says Laura.
+
+"Two hundred times! Oh, I can't think of it," exclaims Emma. "Let us
+try something new."
+
+Here Mrs. Dean, who from a room near by had overheard the conversation,
+came in, and said, "If you cannot obey your teacher, Emma, you must stop
+taking music-lessons. Miss Laura is quite right; and I am glad to see
+that she does not yield to your whims. The best way in learning is
+always to learn one thing thoroughly before passing to another."
+
+Emma gave up the point, and began to play the exercise with a good
+grace. She did so well, that, when she had played it over thirty times,
+Miss Laura said to her, "That will do for to-day. We will take it up
+again in our next lesson. Now we will pass to a new piece."
+
+But Mrs. Dean said, "You have done enough to-day, my children. Now go
+and pick some strawberries for yourselves in the garden, and then we
+will take a walk in the grove."
+
+And this is what they did. Dora Burnside.

+
+THE ANT'S DAIRY.
+
+
+Do ants keep cows? Let us see. A little insect named an aphis is found
+on the leaf of most every plant. This little parasite lives on the sweet
+juice called honey-dew. Now the ants are very fond of this honey-dew,
+and know that they can obtain a supply from the body of the _aphis_.
+
+The ants, therefore, climb up trees on whose leaves the _aphides_ have
+collected. Then an ant goes close to one of these insects for a drop of
+the sweet juice. If this be not soon given out, the ant will gently tap
+the body of the aphis, and thus obtain a supply of the sweet fluid.
+After feasting on this, the ant will pass to another little aphis and
+treat it in the same manner for another drop.
+
+But the ant has sense enough to treat the aphis as we treat our cows.
+Our farmers, you know, keep the cows in enclosed meadows, and supply
+them with hay and turnips when the grass fails. The ants also take a
+number of aphides close to their nests, and there keep them secure and
+supply them with suitable food.
+
+Now the lady-birds are also fond of the aphides, and eat them up by
+hundreds. But the ant has sense enough to keep the aphis for a supply of
+honey-dew instead of killing it as the lady-bird does. Is not the ant,
+therefore, entitled to be regarded as a cow-keeper, and are not the tiny
+little aphides his milch-cows?

+BABY JEAN.
+
+
+  Eyes as bright as diamonds,
+    Mouth all sweet and clean,
+  Cheeks with tempting dimples
+    That's my baby Jean!"
+
+  Hands as soft as rose-leaves,
+    Teeth like glistening pearls,
+  Little sunbeams woven
+    On her heads for curls.
+
+  Little feet that patter
+    Here and everywhere,
+  Little mind that's busy,
+    Filled with childish care.
+
+  Lips from which the kisses
+    Bubble all day long,
+  Tongue that's ever singing
+    Some sweet cradle-song.
+
+  How I love my baby
+    Words can never tell;
+  And she--she loves papa
+    Just as much and well.
+
+  She's the dearest fairy
+    That was ever seen;
+  And from Heaven I'm certain
+    Came my baby Jean!

+
+THE FRIENDLY DOG.
+
+
+Poor Old Whitey! He fell lame, and was turned out in a little field to
+starve. And he would have starved, if it hadn't been for Milo.
+
+And who was Milo? He was a dog who had lived in the stable with Old
+Whitey. They had become great friends. Each had found the other trusty
+and kind.
+
+And I think Milo must have reasoned in this way: "Is it not sad to see
+my old friend shut up in that barren little field with nothing to eat?
+He has nibbled all the grass, and there is nothing left for him. It is
+too bad; and I can't stand it."
+
+In the cellar of the stable were some turnips and beets. What does Milo
+do but take a long beet in his mouth, and carry it to Old Whitey, who
+neighs, as if to say, "Thank you, old friend."
+
+Then he gobbles it up, and looks at Milo, as if to say, "Another, if you
+please." Milo trots off, and brings him a turnip. Oh, how it does
+relish! Old Whitey begins to caper, in spite of his lame legs.
+
+Milo kept running to and fro for half an hour, till Old Whitey had made
+a good dinner. Then the man who had shut up the old horse found out what
+was going on.
+
+He seized a whip, and ran at Milo to punish him. But it happened that
+the lady who owned the farm, and who did not know how Old Whitey had
+been treated, came back from the city just at that time to pass a month
+in the country.
+
+She saw what was going on, asked what was the matter, and, when she
+learned it, said to the man, "The dog is a better Christian than you
+are. He shall stay, and you shall go. Come into the house, and let me
+pay you your wages."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Thenceforth Old Whitey was well taken care of; and, as for Milo, he was
+petted and praised to his heart's content. Cruelty to animals is an act
+which no good man or child can he guilty of. I was not sorry to learn
+that the man who had tried to starve Old Whitey was dismissed from his
+place.

+
+
+
+
+CARLO'S BONNET.
+
+
+Of course Carlo was a dog, and I'll tell you how he came to us. As my
+father was walking up Arch Street, Philadelphia, one day, with his hands
+clasped behind him, something cold and damp was pushed against his
+fingers. He turned round quickly, and a beautiful brown-and-white
+pointer came to his side, and looked up at him with such a pleading look
+in his soft brown eyes, that my father said, as he patted him on the
+head, "Poor fellow, are you lost?"
+
+That was enough for Carlo, as we named him. He had found a kind master,
+and my father a faithful friend. Of course it wouldn't do to keep the
+dog without trying to find his owner: so the next day he was advertised;
+and, for several days after, every ring at the bell would make us
+children start, and feel afraid that somebody had come to take him away.
+But nobody came for him; and we loved and petted our new-found treasure
+to the neglect of wooden horses and dolls, and all our other toys.
+
+Sometimes he would come to the parlor-door with his feet very wet and
+muddy from running through the street-gutters. Then we would say, "O
+Carlo! what dirty boots!" He would hang down his head, and go off to the
+back-yard, and lick his feet until they were clean, when, with a bound,
+and a wag of the tail, he would rush back to the parlor, quite sure that
+he would be let in.
+
+But the month of June was coming,--a sorrowful time for dogs; for the
+city had ordered that all dogs found on the streets without muzzles on
+must be destroyed. At five o'clock every morning, the wagons used to go
+through the streets, and take up all dogs that were not muzzled. So we
+had to get a "bonnet," as we called it, for our pet.
+
+It was made of bright red leather, and really he looked so handsome in
+it, that we thought he ought to like to wear it when he went out for a
+walk; but he didn't one bit. He used to rub his head on the sidewalk,
+and fuss and squirm, and, when he didn't get rid of his bonnet in that
+way, the cunning fellow used to hide it when he got home.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+We kept it hung up on a high nail in the dining-room; but one day, when
+we called Carlo to have his bonnet put on before he went out, there was
+no bonnet to be found. Who could have taken it? I must say Carlo acted
+very much like the thief; for he hung his head, and looked sheepish,
+when we asked him about it.
+
+We hunted under the chairs and the lounge, in the closets, in parlor and
+dining-room, Carlo fussing round with us, just as if he wanted
+dreadfully to find it; but it couldn't be found. So we went out, and
+shut the street-door after us, saying, "Well, Carlo, you can't go out to
+walk, that's all."
+
+Those who hide know where to find. When Carlo saw, that, without his
+bonnet, there was no walk for him, he scampered into the
+basement-kitchen, got out the muzzle from a pile of old papers in one of
+the closets, carried it up stairs, and laid it down on the dining-room
+floor.
+
+But this was not the last time Carlo hid his red bonnet and found it
+again. In all sorts of places he would stow it away when he came in from
+his walks. And at last he got so used to it that when we said, "Now,
+Carlo, go fetch your bonnet," he would dash off and pull it from its
+hiding-place, and quietly stand to have it buckled on.
+
+He behaved so well in the streets, that before the dog-season was over,
+we used to take his bonnet off, and let him carry it home in his mouth.
+One rainy day, when the water was pouring down the open gutters, and I
+was hurrying home, I happened to look round, and there was Carlo coming
+along behind me; but his pretty red bonnet was bobbing along in the
+gutter, where the sly rascal had thrown it, hoping, I suppose, that it
+would be carried down to the Delaware River.

+WHAT WE SAW IN THE WOODS.
+
+
+We were camping out in the woods, not far from the Canada line. In the
+party were my brother Tom, Mr. Brisk, who was a sportsman of fame, and
+uncle Ralph, who hated the sound of a gun.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+One day, as I was roaming through the thick wood, what should I see but
+a male deer, with branching horns, looking up at the blue sky!
+
+I crept back softly to our tent, and told Mr. Brisk what I had seen. He
+seized his gun. "What's that you say, Tom?" asked uncle Ralph. "Only
+this," said I; "there is a fine fat deer down by the brook; and, as we
+are all fond of venison, I think it's a good chance for Mr. Brisk to get
+a good shot at him."
+
+"Oh! that's it, is it?" said uncle Ralph, while his eyes flashed with
+mischief. "By all means let us kill the deer. Come, Brisk, where's your
+gun?"
+
+Mr. Brisk was looking at the barrels and the caps of his gun to see if
+all was right; then he said to uncle Ralph, "You and Tom had better stay
+here; for too many of us may startle the deer."
+
+"Go on," said uncle Ralph. "Be quick, or you will lose your chance."
+
+Mr. Brisk started for the brook, treading carefully, so as not to make a
+noise. No sooner was he gone than uncle Ralph seized me by the collar,
+and said, "Now, you young scapegrace, come along with me, and help me
+save the life of that deer."
+
+The old gentleman was in earnest. He could not bear to see life
+destroyed, whether of bird or beast. He lived on vegetables and fruits,
+and believed that the lower animals have souls. We took a by-path to the
+brook, and there found the deer quietly grazing.
+
+Just as Mr. Brisk was preparing to fire, uncle Ralph threw a stone at
+the deer, and sent him off on a fast gallop through the woods.
+
+"Hallo! What did you do that for?" asked Mr. Brisk.
+
+"I did it so that you should not have a venison dinner," said uncle
+Ralph, laughing.
+
+Mr. Brisk was pretty mad at first; but at last he joined in the laugh,
+and we all had a good feast on strawberries instead Of Venison.

+BABY READING TO HER MOTHER.
+
+
+  She is tired of her dolly, and tired of her play,
+  And she thinks she will read to her mother to-day.
+
+  So, seated on the carpet, this little Kitty Brown
+  Reads story after story, though the book is upside down.

+NOW, AND THEN.
+
+
+  "Well, well, well!" said grandmamma,
+    "Only to see the toys,--
+  The marvels of skill and of beauty,
+    That are made for these girls and boys!--
+  Velocipedes, acrobats, barrows,
+    And a dozen kinds of ball,
+  And the beautiful bows and arrows,
+    With quivers and belts and all;
+  And dolls, with an outfit from Paris,
+    With eyes that open and shut,
+  With jewelry worth a small fortune,
+    And six several bonnets,--_tut, tut!_
+
+  "My goodness! If Polly and Rachel,
+    Who played in old times with me,
+  In the corner down by the smoke-house,
+    These wonderful dolls could see!
+  Rachel's doll had a round head whittled
+    From a bit of soft pine wood;
+  And Polly's was only a corn-cob,
+    With a calico slip and hood.
+  My doll was a lovely rag-baby,
+    With badly-inked eyes and nose;
+  Her cheeks were painted with cherry-juice;
+    And I made every stitch of her clothes.
+
+  "Nathan's bow was a pliant whalebone,
+    And his arrow a white-pine stick;
+  Such a life as his archery practice
+    Led the cats and each wretched chick!
+  Our tea-sets were bits of dishes
+    That mother had thrown away,
+  With chincapin saucers and acorn-cups;
+    And our dolls slept on moss and hay.
+  With a May-apple leaf for a parasol
+    We played 'Lady-come-to-see,'
+  Polly's house was the kitchen door-step,
+    And mine was the apple-tree.
+
+  "We never saw 'Germans' and 'Matinees,'
+    And we played good romping plays;
+  And, somehow, I think we were happier far
+    Than the children are nowadays.
+  Our swing was an old, wild grape-vine;
+    We waded and climbed and ran,
+  And never were weary, nor sick, nor 'bored'
+    From the minute that day began.
+  Well, well, well!" said grandmamma,
+    "In spite of their wonderful toys,
+  I do believe we had merrier times
+    Than these little girls and boys!"

+
+
+THE FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER.
+
+
+Amy Cooper lived in a little fishing-village, not far from the cliffs of
+Dover, in England. She was the daughter of a poor fisherman, who worked
+hard for his family. Mr. Cooper was such a good, kind man, that no one
+could help loving him. His children loved him dearly; and no one loved
+him quite so dearly as his daughter Amy.
+
+She was a thoughtful little girl, and at the time of my story was twelve
+years old. She saw that her father's health was failing through hard
+work; and the one great thought in her mind was, "How can I help my dear
+father to earn money for us all?"
+
+This was a hard question, and it was long before Amy could find an
+answer. But one day, with her aunt, she took a long walk to Dover. Here
+she saw a large hotel, and many well-clad persons in a pleasant park
+near by. It was on this visit to Dover that Amy formed a plan about
+which I am going to tell you.
+
+Now it had happened three years before, that a poor young man of the
+name of Simpson had been saved from drowning by Amy's father. I fear
+that the young man had thrown himself into the water because he was sick
+of life, but I dare say he was glad enough to be pulled out.
+
+Mr. Cooper took him home, gave him a room and a bed, and there Mr.
+Simpson staid for some time. He was what is called an artist. He had a
+great talent for drawing with a pen and ink. He taught Amy to do this.
+She soon did it so well, that he said to her, "Keep on trying, my dear,
+and it may be a great help to you by and by."
+
+Sure enough she did keep on trying. Her one thought was to do so well
+that she could make money by her art. Poor Mr. Simpson died after he had
+staid with the honest fisherman two years; and his last words to Amy
+were, "Keep on practising, my dear: don't let a day pass without it. I
+am sure you will make an artist."
+
+Amy had followed his advice; and now, when her father was ill, she
+resolved to see if she could riot, turn her art to account. She made
+twenty sketches with pen and ink. They were sketches of fishermen--drawn
+from life; and they were done with a spirit and skill that struck every
+one with surprise.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Taking the specimens with her, she went to Dover, and showed them to the
+ladies and gentlemen. At last one gentleman, a Mr. Ritson, who was rich,
+and fond of art, said to her, "Don't try to humbug me, little girl. Yon
+never did this work. Come in, and let me test you."
+
+"Do it," said Amy, bravely and confidently.
+
+He took her into the reading-room of the hotel, and in a few minutes she
+produced a likeness of Mr. Ritson, which made him cry out, "Bravo,
+bravo, little girl! You have done it! Forgive my suspicions. Here is a
+guinea for what you have done. Come here to-morrow at this time, and I
+will see what I can do to help you."
+
+Amy, wild with joy, took the money home to her father. The prosperity of
+the family was now assured. Mr. Ritson proved to be a true friend. He
+showed Amy's sketches to a great many persons, and praised them so
+highly, that she soon began to have orders.
+
+She continued to improve, and in time became quite a successful artist.
+She had as much work as she could do, and earned more in a month than
+her father could earn in a year. He soon got well, and lived to take
+great comfort in the fame of his dear little girl.

+
+  I must cross the path,
+    I can hear my children croak;

+  A hop and a start, a flutter and a rush,
+  Johnny is at school, and the toad in his bush.

+
+THE HEN WHO HELPED HERSELF.
+
+
+In a city not far from Boston, there once lived a stout little fellow
+named Willie Wilkins. He was six years old, had red cheeks and blue
+eyes, and such curly hair that it was always in a tumble, no matter how
+much it was brushed.
+
+One summer his mamma took him into the country to spend a few weeks at a
+farm-house. The farmer's wife, Mrs. Hill, was very glad to have him
+come, for she had no girls or boys of her own, to make the house
+pleasant. She liked to see Willie running about, and hear his shrill
+voice calling after the great house-dog Bruno.
+
+One morning Willie had been as busy as ever at his play: he had been in
+the orchard, hunting for ripe apples; he had been in the barn, looking
+for hen's eggs in the sweet hay; he had been down to the brook, sailing
+his boat; and he had played market-man, with Bruno harnessed for a
+horse.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After all this, the little boy was both tired and hungry: so he went
+back to the house, and sat down on the broad stone steps outside the
+kitchen-door to rest. Mrs. Hill was busy in the kitchen, frying
+doughnuts, and, when Willie saw what she was doing, he was more hungry
+than ever. The doughnuts looked very brown and nice; but Willie was too
+bashful to ask for one.
+
+At last Mrs. Hill looked up, and, seeing Willie's blue eyes fixed upon
+her with such an eager gaze, she guessed at once what he wanted. She
+gave him a doughnut and a kiss, and he sat down on the doorstep with
+the doughnut in his hand. But he had hardly taken two bites of it, when
+a strange thing happened.
+
+Some hens were scratching around in the yard to find food for themselves
+and their chickens. Now one old Biddy, who had a large family to provide
+for, and who was almost tired out with hunting for worms, looked at
+Willie's doughnut with a longing eye. She walked close up to the
+doorstep, arched her neck, and clucked, asking as plainly as she knew
+how for a piece of doughnut. But Willie was too busy even to look at
+her.
+
+At last Biddy became impatient. As no notice was taken of her civil
+request, she made up her mind to take, without further asking, what
+Willie did not seem inclined to give. She was a little afraid to do it;
+but her chickens were teasing for more food, and she was determined to
+get enough for them.
+
+So she stepped up beside Willie, snatched the doughnut out of his hand,
+and ran away with it as fast as she could. Her chickens ran after her,
+screaming for the fine feast which their mother had stolen for them.
+
+And there sat Willie on the doorstep, his eyes bigger and bluer than
+ever, amazed to find himself robbed in this way by a respectable looking
+old hen. He did not know what to do, and was half inclined to cry.
+
+But, when little children are in trouble, there is always one thing they
+can do: they can go to their mamma, and ask her help. Willie thought of
+this, and trotted off with a very sober face to tell his mamma this
+wonderful story of the hen who helped herself.

+THE GREAT JOURNEY.
+
+
+    "Come, my baby, all alone!"
+  Was so long a baby-journey ever known?
+        All the way, so wide and bare,
+        From the table to the chair;
+        'Tis no wonder he should linger,
+        Holding on to papa's finger,
+        Though his mother beckons there
+            From her throne,
+        With, "Come, baby, all alone!"
+
+    "Come, my baby, all alone!"
+  Were such mingled doubt and daring ever shown?
+        Now he drops his hold, and then
+        Closer clings to it again;
+        Now he steps out with a shiver,
+        As one tries a rapid river,
+        And shrinks back, and wonders when,
+            Taller grown,
+        Baby shall go all alone.
+
+    "Here comes baby, all alone!"
+  Was a more victorious bravery ever known?
+        Right across the trackless space
+        The small feet have won their race;
+        And he tosses back thereafter
+        Such a peal of ringing laughter!
+        It laughs out from every face,
+            Proud to own
+        "Baby has gone all alone!'
+
+    Back goes baby all alone.
+  Oh what inches, all at once, has baby grown!
+        Back and forth, with merry cries,
+        Like a little bird he flies;
+        First to father, then to mother,
+        Then to sister, then to brother,
+        Greeting each with laughing eyes.
+            Bravely done!
+        Shout for baby, every one!

+
+
+CHAPTER I.
+
+MAKING FRIENDS.
+
+
+Jane has on a clean apron. In her hand she has a piece of cake. She has
+just taken one bite when she meets a dog.
+
+"Good dog," says Jane, "come let me pat you." He looks up, and whines,
+as much as to say, "I am glad to see you, Jane."
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER II.
+
+RATHER TOO INTIMATE.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+"You like me, don't you?" says Jane. "You are a sweet little pet. I
+wonder what your name is. I shall name you Skip. Come up here, Skip, and
+let me smooth your silken hair."
+
+So Skip springs up, and puts both of his front paws on little Jane's
+clean apron. Jane is startled. Does he want to kiss her, or does he want
+the cake? Ah, it is the cake that the sly rogue wants!
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER III.
+
+THE END.
+
+
+Jane is seated on the ground. She is in tears. Her friend Skip has left
+her. Her cake has gone too. Did Skip snatch it away from her?
+
+Yes, he did, without giving her a chance to take a second bite. And he
+pushed her down besides. And he ran away and left her. Poor little girl!
+Ungrateful little dog!

+THE BROKEN KITE.
+
+
+It was a splendid great kite, almost as tall as George himself. It was a
+birthday-gift from his grandfather.
+
+George had never owned a kite before; and there never was a happier boy
+than he when he went out to fly it for the first time.
+
+But he came back looking quite sad.
+
+"Why, what is the matter my boy?" said his grandfather.
+
+George held up his kite. There was a large hole in it. In trying to
+raise his kite, the little boy, being perhaps rather clumsy, had got it
+entangled in a tree. Its beauty was spoiled, and George had brought it
+home without having had the pleasure of seeing it up in the sky.
+
+"Well, well," said his kind old grandfather, "we will have it mended and
+try it again. Better luck next time!"
+
+Carlo, the dog, looked up, as much as to say, "If there is anything I
+can do for you, George, call on me."
+
+But George's bright little sister Susan, without saying a word, ran into
+the house and brought a pot of paste and some paper. "I'll mend it for
+you, George," said she, "in three minutes."
+
+And sure enough, she mended it so neatly that it was as good as new the
+next morning, and George took it out again with a face as merry as ever.
+He got it up in fine style this time, and had a grand time flying it.
+
+It went up higher and pulled harder than any kite on the play-ground.
+Susan, who often went out with George to have a share of the fun, was
+hardly strong enough to hold it.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+One day when Susan was trying to wind up the string, the stick slipped
+out of her hands, and away went the kite. George got it back after a
+hard chase, but it was torn to shreds. Susan now looked sad in her turn.
+
+But George only laughed, and said, "Never mind, Susie. Bring out the old
+paste-pot again."

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  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.
