decorations and the place you occupy
in the hearts of the people?”
“Why, my dear friend!” answered
the corn, “I am proud of my adorn
ments and the friendly feeling man
has for me, but you know that these
tassels, these silken threads and these
grains of gold which you admire so
much, are all useful and necessary to
the life of my family. I do not pos
sess them merely as luxuries, I make
use of each. I take care of the tassels
and the silk that the golden grain may
grow and bring forth other plants like
us to keep you company when next
summer time rolls around. I should
feel sad indeed in the autumn if it
were n/at that I know that from these
beautiful grains of golden corn will
come another field of happy, healthy
corn 7 like this.”
“Would you mind telling me of just
what use these tassels and these silk
en threads are? I had supposed they
were to beautify you and make people
like to see you grow,” rather timidly
said Miss Maple.
“Very well,” promptly responded the
corn. “As my roots have been very
busy all day getting up food and mois
ture from our cellar, the earth, and
my leaves have been carefully getting
this food ready for us and breathing in
air, we will all rest and tell you the
story before your roomers, the birds,
come home to sleep in your hospitable
home.
“My tassels,” the corn continued,
“have a dusty powder called pollen,
that our friend, the Wind, gently sifts
for me, grain by grain, upon these
beautiful silk threads. These threads
are sweet and the little pollen grains
are quite content to stay until all the
honey-like juice is gone. But by the
tirtie this is gone, the little grain has
eaten so much of the honey that he
has swelled up and can not get away
so easily as he came. He feels himself
growing and must have more space,
so he reaches out a long foot and lets
it grow deeper and deeper into the
silk until he comes to a cozy place
way down in the kernel, where he finds
a little seed started. As he can not
find his way back, he promises the lit
tle seed to give her his strength if she
will use it and grow into a plant. So
they unite and together become a tiny
seed, the plant in embryo.
“I store up food for it, and cover it
all over with a golden coat, and it
goes to sleep with plenty of food near
by, ready to be used when it is awak
ened by the warm rain and sunshine
of next spring. I store up plenty of
food; enough to last it till it is big
enough and strong enough to get food
for itself from the soil and the sun
shine above, and it pushes its way
out of the house in which the poor
little pollen grain got lost.”
“Well, I see you are very busy,” ad
mitted the maple. “I see, too, that
your parts are each very useful, and
I shall try not to be envious again. I
thank you for this instructive story,
and perhaps some day I shall tell you
some interesting things about my
roomers, the birds.”
The corn waved a gentle “good-

RONALD’S BIRTHDAY PARTY.
(Continued from Page 13.)
in his pocket. How happy he was!
“Master Ronald Robertson’s mamma
invites all the boys at the hospital to
come to Ronald’s birthday party next
Saturday afternoon.
That was the very first time the
cripples had ever been invited to a
party and it made the doctor happy to
read the invitation aloud to them all
at the dinner table. The boys were
the happiest boys in town when the
doctor said they might all go.
Saturday at two o’clock Ronald’s
papa drove up to the hospital. Every
boy was ready and they came hopping
down to the curb. The doctor carried
the boy on the board and the others
all stood aside till he was in first. Then
papa Frank and the doctor lifted boys
and crutches until the automobile was
crowded. Some had to stand up but
they didn’t mind that.
Oh, such a sight as those boys saw!
The lawn was a perfect dreamland of
playthings, big and little, besides Sni
der, Ronald’s curly brown collie, and
Rebel, the shaggy Shetland pony, and
all sorts of wagons and engines and
nigger babies to stand up and be
knocked over with colored balls.
There were tubs of water and little
boats with sails and there was a table
with a big bowl of soapsuds and a lot
of clay pipes. The boys hopped from
one thing to another and Ronald gave
them ever so many turns in his auto
and on the Mail and Express and on
Rebel, and they blew soap bubbles and
knocked over nigger babies and sail
ed ships and laughed and shouted
away the hours, till mamma came and
invited them all to sit on the lawn
while she and Ronald and a maid pass
ed big dishes of ice cream and plates
of snowy white cake with lots of frost
ing—and then more ice cream and
cake. Then they all went into the
house and mamma opened her big con
cert zither and played softly and sang
“Little Boy Blue” and “The Song of
the Bumble Bee” and Ronald sang “A
Sailor Boy am I.”
Just as Ronald finished the boy on

When mamma tucked Ronald into
bed that night he said, “Didn’t we have
a good party, mamma?” and Ronald’s
pretty mamma squeezed him tight and
said, “Such a good party! And mamma
thanks God her little boy has two
stout arms and legs and a strong back,
but most of all because he chose to
give the little cripples a good time.” —
