THE WRONG QUEEN.
' ISTow, dears, who wasthe great Queen who* travelled so many miles and miles to see King; Solomon ?' Silence prevailed in the class. ' Why, you do know,- all of you. The Queen who came to see the. King?' The name had' been forgotton by the class. In order to help them, the kind but misguided teacher began to offer a little .assistance : ' You do, know, I am. sure. The name began with S,. and she was a very great Queen.' Just then, up shot a little hand, and out spoke the* triumphant voice of the little Auburn girL. She transfixed the listening school-room with the following brief statement in a clear,, business-like voice: 'I know teacher; itwas the Queen of Spades.'
