A Child's Thanksgiving Dear Father, far above the stars, And yet so near to me, How can so small a child as I So many blessings cluster here, My thanks would ne'er be done. So, Father, while my heart is full - Frederic A. Whiting Miracle Where did you come from, little brook, O sparkling silver band? God caught a tiny angel's tears, But some escaped His hand! Where did you come from, little bird, Where did you come from, little flower Forget-me-not so blue? God plucked a piece from out the sky And made it into you! -Catherine Parmenter Teachers Wanted All teachers should try the Jan. 7 U. S.

Bobwhite Clocks An Indiana clockmaker who owned a German cuckoo clock out of which a little bird popped on the tick of every hour to sing his cuckoo song, decided he would rather listen to a more familiar and more American bird call. So now, when the little bird pops out of his tiny door, he whistles clearly, "Bob White! Bob White!" Perhaps the Indiana jeweller will build up a business, changing German cuckoos into little American bobwhites.
