TOO MUCH FAVOURITISM.
It is not always good to be the pet of the ladies. This is the lesson that was learnt by liUie.Xrchie, aged 9, and with a iace frill round his neck, at a children's picnic. Little Archie had long golden curis, and a velvet suit, and the ladies just loved him. Tea-time came, and they' all besieged him. Cakes they gave him, and ice.r:, and wafers, and chocolates, and. buns, and lemonade. They were most pressing, and Archie liked it. A little later, however, Archie went into a quiet corner to think, and there, with one lurul on his head, and one on his sash, a dainty ladyfound him. "Why, Archie, pet," she exclaimed, "what's the matter ? Haven't you got all you want ?" "Ye.--', I've got all I want, --dense," murmu-ed Archi.-, ever p.-j]it-\ "bur., ].le;so, I don't want nil I've got."
