Happiness 1 1 e neart Child and th of a BY WMI I Al IMF THE Little Boy has a watch. It is not a gold watch, nor a silver watch, not even a brand new watch. It is of nickle and it cost just $2.50, and somebody has carried it for quite a while. But, ho, it is a watch, a badge of manhood. And it is very hard for the Little Boy to remember that there is any thing in the world but that watch. He has a pretty hard time to keep from winding it. He wanted to wind it all the time, and oh! the delirious joy of finding that it is a minute and a quarter fast and that he may set it. Twist. the ulv ow fascinating it Is to make io round. cks. the little watch, and yet It was fa-scinating. "I could hear the little watch talking all night." said the Little Boy thjs morning. I think it was trying to tell me what time it was, even when I was asleep and couldn't see." Do you know," said the Little Boy, when hi had sat a long time silent and rapt with the watch h' ld carefully in his chubby hand "Do you know a watch is a good, faithful friend? I don't see how a little boy can get along at all without i watch. And thj watch must be locked in a drawer and the key hidden behind the clock, and the dcor of the room must be locked, and One the Little Boy Trusted must carry the key to the door around her very neck, and at noon the Little Boy stumbled and fell flat on his face on the stairs. He was running so fast to get back to the watch that he didn't look where he was going, and that is always a fatal thing foi Little Boys, as well as for other people. And now he has a fob for his watch, a real fob with a gold medal, a cowboy on a horse with his hat in his hand and a mustache that would frighten you only to look at it. I don't believe the Little Roy will sleep a wink tonight, now that he has the fob and the cowboy to think of, as well as the watch. Dear Little Boy, I wish I could believe that you would never be kept awake by anything less interesting. Now I might have saved the $2.50 I paid for the nickel watch and put it in the savings bank for the Little Boy. and when he grew up he might have bought something with it some drinks perhaps, or a cigarette case, or a couple of baseball tickets. Hut win time to go to school, then P , ERHAPS I did wrong to buy the nickel watch for the Little Boy. He could have got on very well without it, and I know it did take his mind off his lessons. TO go five blocks away from that watch, it was almost too much for human nature to bear. But those big boys on the way to school what if one of them should .--natch it? It was a burning question. Twice he decided to leave the watch at home, and then came run ning back in a panic, to change his mind. At last he went to school, with the Hut it reetM he came running home. I go, nrrmnd." he panted breathlessly, "and o ist run right bark. One of the bis boys pt U.Hni at me and whispering, and I Just tm he was talking al..ut my watch, so I've night It home." Ingertcll $1.00 Ingersoll But, oh, somehow I can't be frugal with the Little Boy. Perhaps some day the world will be a gray old place for him, and then, I hope he will look back and remember the wonderful nickel watch and the fob, and the gold looking fob charm with the cowboy on a horse. And I hope it will make him happy for a min ute to think of it and he will smile. And nothing Is too hard to hear when one can remember something which brings a smile. Tick a tick, tick a tick, what a brave watch It Is, and ho frank and bold It speaks tick a 'iok tick a tick come.
