FOF LITTLE FOLKS.

The Son of a Soldier.

The new wing of the Hospital for Sick Children in London will be opened in June. It is to contain over 60 beds. The foundation stone of this new wing was laid March 26,1890. It was thought that it would be very suitable to have the atone laid by one of the children in the hospital, and John Hart wag the child selected for the purpose. He was a dear little lad of 10, the son of a soldier, and was for a long time a patient in the hos pital with a diseased bone in his ankle, which at last resulted in amputation of his leg. Before the operation took place John nie would often tell the nurses and doc tors that as soon as ever he waa big

enough he meant to be a soldier, like his father. And his pale face would flush and his eyes sparkle as he talked of the grand prospect before him. And no one had the courage to tell him that they feared his ambition could never be real izecjf. But they need not have troubled, ror when, the sad, sad day arrived and the poor leg had been cut off it was j bund tha| John Hart bore the soul of a true hero m his frail little body and was inde_ed worthy to be the son of a brave soldier, for scarcely a word of com plftint or disappointment was heard to rail from his lips at the loss of his limb— a loss that he knew would prevent him from fighting, as he had longed so to do, for his and country. And at the ceremony whtjre he was justly elected to play such an important part there was no face brighter than the little lad's whoso childish voice declared the stone Well and truly laid.—Pall Mall Budget.

A Boy's Kindness.

During the illness of James Q. Elaine Master Howard Carter of Howard coun ty, Md., the son of Mayor P. F. Carter, lent the dying statesman a brace of par tridges. The other day he received the following letter: Madison Place, Washington. Mt Dear Mr. Carter—When you sent my father those partridges, I tried to write and thank you for them, hut I am afraid I conveyed «. very faint Idea to you of the pleasure you had riven. My father was greatly touched at your thoughtfulness. He made me read your letter twice to him and then said he wanted to send you some remembrance. I waited all through the winter, hoping that he would grow better •nd be able to pick out something for you him self, as you would value what he chose so much more. Now that he ia altogether gone from us I have tried to find some such thing as he would have liked to have sent you, and I hope you will feel that the sleeve links are l-eally all from him, for, after all, the thought that prompts and underlies the gift is more than the gift itself. Ia it not? It has been a great pleas ure to carry out one of my father's wishes. 1 want you to remember that I am only his agent. Yours very sincerely, Harriet Blame. The sleeve links are of gold and bear the name "J. G. Blame" and the initials "H. C. "—Philadelphia Press.

The Babies In the White House.

When Ruth Cleveland entered the White House and met Master McKee^ 1 »he smiled at him for about 10 seconds and then unceremoniously went to her doll. Somebody said something about "Baby McKee" which the youngster re sented. "I'm most 6 and am too big to be called'baby,'" he said. "I'm a big boy." Mary Lodge McKee behaved like a perfect little lady, though she remarked to her nurse, the fratilein who had been teaching her to speak German. "What a pretty locket that little baby has on!" referring to a small gold locket on the chain about Ruth's neck.—Atlanta Con stitution.

An April Shower.

Pit paf, patter, clatter, Sudden sun, and clatter, patterl : First the blue and then the shower, : ' Bursting bud and smiling flower, i Brooks set free with tinkling ring, Birds too full of song to sing; Crisp old leaves astir with pride, Where the timid violets hide- All things ready with a will; , ; April's coming up the hill! jj

TO STAND at Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. AW AMO A is by the champion horse Young Banker (1, N Z. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact he is one of the beat bred horses in the world On one side he is i sprung from Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus ; and anyone wlio pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sire 3 were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas The filly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, firs at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old, first at Christ church and second at Oamaru ; as a three year-old, first at Oamaru and charr%)ion of the yard ; following year second at Oamaru and second afc limaru ; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. Ib will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring ; he has been very successful aa a breeder; he hes proved himself a sure foal getter; hence his value as a sire, and breeders should not miss suoh a chance, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before. Terms—Guarantees, four guineas. Season mares as per agreement. Groomage fee ss, payable first service. All mares changing hands in any way, first owners will be held liable.
