All of our boys and girls do not have
the opportunity to 60 every day to .

the Chicago Record.
Away up in Northern Michigan.
where much of the land is still uncul-
tivated. there stands a little. low log
building in the center of a clearing.
where the huge oak and maple stumps
still stand to tell of the forest that on ce
covered the land. This schoolhouse has
q funny little door, hardly high enough
to admit Q tall man, and two or three
small windows, the size of a single

And the pupils? There are Just four
of them, with sometimes two or three
more In winter, when the snow is deep
and the farmers work is light. In the
picture, which is from a photograph,
you will see all the pupils standing
outside Of the little door with their
teacher. The scholars belong 20 two
families-there are only three families
in the whole diStrict-and two of them
are compelled TO walk nearly four miles
to school every morning. In summer

home, but he was driven back half
frozen and nearly suffOcated with snow.
Darker and darker it grew, and then
the wind seemed TO die down.
THE schoolhouse is buried up?"
whimpered one of the pupils. How'll
We ever get away?"
The teacher did her best to keep up
their courage. but even she was fright
ened. They had NO candles nor lamps,
and as the afternoon advanced the only
light came from the glowing hearth of
the stove. Supper time came, and
there was no supper to eat Every
crumb of the lunch brought from home
in the morning had disappeared at
noon. Later in the evening the wood
ran out and the pupils became chilled
with the creeping cold. When the last
stick had been fed into the red mouth
Of the stove. two Of the large boys,
encouraged by the teacher, ventured
to open the door. 1t was walled to
the top outside with snow. But like
the plucky boys they were, they bur-
rowed head first into the drifts to the
wood-pile and managed to pull out sew
eral sticks Of wood and drag them into
the schoolhouse. Before the work was
done they were nearly frozen with the
themselves to sleep on one of the bench
es near the stove, but the others kept
watch all night long in the dark.
They'll surely come and dig US out
in the morning" said the teacher, hope
fully, but breakfast time came and then
dinner time and there was NO relief
By this time they were all very hun
cry, indeed. They had had nothing to
eat for twenty-four hours. The two big
coats and mittens, again burrowed out
side, and after a hard struggle, sue
ceeded in reaching the roof of the
schoolhouse. Once out Of the great
drift, they found that the snow had
ceased falling and that the sun was
shining. although II WAS still dark In
the schoolhouse. But they looked in
every direction and there was nothing
but snow, snow, snow, and not a sign
Of relief So they went back, carrying
the sad tidings to the other pupils
They were all certain now that they
would starye to death before help
could reach them. But hardly had
they made up their minds to this tear
ful fact when there came a humping
on the roof above them, and then
voices. The boys shouted an answer.
and then ran outside. Immediately 4
man came tumbling and rolling down
into the schoolhouse door. He had on
his back bag OF lunch, and the hun
cry children went at 1t eagerly. Two
men had succeeded in crossing the
snow bound country on ski, or snow
shoes. and thus the school was res
cued, although some Of the pupils could
not be taken home until the following
day, when a road was broken.
How would you like being pupil in
such school2

A TURKEYS Odd ADpetite.


Wehave often heard of ostriches who
eat tenpenny nails or goats who eat tin
cans. turkey is not usually credited
with such an abnormal appetite Bul
there is a turkey who ate little girls
tea set.
The magnificent possibilities Of n
young turkey cocks crop reached a eli
max in the discovery made by Mrs. Cor
nelia Choate. Mrs. Choate purchased a
fine fat young gobbler in Fulton mar
ket which she ordered sent home un-
dressed. In preparing the fowl for din
ner it was noticed that it possessed an
unusually large and heavy crop. In
vestigation followed.
First there was found a nice little
china teapot. Then the lid was found
which fitted it to perfection. Next came
a little sugar bowl and a top to fit it
Next little cream pot. These appear.
ed to be all, but further search re-
vealed the presence Of miniature tea
spoon about an inch and a half long.
The dishes were of the kind used by
little misses who give tea parties to
their dollies. Mrs. Choate's little girls
have the trophies in their possession,
but are willing to surrender them tc
any miss who has mysteriously lost
pieces from her dolls house. The tea
pot and sugar bowl are almost an incl
in height. and it must have taxed the
young turkeys swallowing capacity ts
