Children. BOYS and girls. attention!

Children, boys and girls. attention!
This page belongs to you for the present
Now what do you want to have in the chill
drens' department of The Age Herald?
This is to be just what girls and boys
like. not what grown up people like; so you
must let us know your views about paper
that is to be for your pleasure. Our object
is to give pleasure to natural boys and live
girls not the ones We read about in books,
who are either too bad or too good for this
world
The boy we intend this page for is the
one we see every day. One who throws
stones, who eats green apples, goes in
swimming who talks impudently to the
grown up man who treats him with SUI
preme contempt; plays ball, runs, jumps,
shouts and does every other boytsh prank
and mischief he and his friends can origl-
nate
We hope all OF you will write about some-
thing and. with many of you discussing the
matter we will be able to see what the ma
jority like best. Your letters-no, l will
call them your communications; that Is
what grown people say-will receive re-
spectfu attention, and If appropriate We
will publish what you have to say.
Do you want stories? or a naturalist
club" where we can talk about bugs and
animals and plants, or do you prefer poe
try, or do you want us to tell the news
about the boys and girls in and out OF
Birmingham? Do you likee continued
stories, or short stories better? In short
what is your idea of a boys and girls pa
per?
Be sure that you and ] become acquaint-
ed. See my name at the top of the page
Now write me something and sign yours.
Some wise man has said, This Is the
chldrens age" Let us use 1t then so we
may grow up into the kind of man or wo>
man we most admire.
By-the-way, suppose you tell me the man
or woman, living dead. for whom you
have the greatest admiration.
What book. of all you have read do you
like best? Your favorite author; your ia
vorite game; how you like to spend, your
vacation.
I am going to tell you next week about
some boys and girls who spent their vaca-
ton in the mountains of East Tennessee.
Now. children, all of you must write me
about your pets. I am going to ask that
each of you who are interested in this page
will write to me. right away, and tell me
first about your pets or your pet. II you
have but one. and then about the funniest
thing YOU ever heard. I expect that your
little brother or sister says some "cute.
funny things" and ] wish you would tell
us the joke so that all of us who read this
page in The Age-Herald may laugh too.
Won't that be fun?

WILLS TROUBLES
Interesting Account of His Arrest and
Trial

VIII was out walking one afternoon all
alone, as usual. He thought today he would
go a different direction from the one he
usually chose. Nearly always he climbed
over hills and oftenest sat down to rest
upon some leafy knoll or by the side of
some clear stream. Today he went down
towards a swampy spot. Possibly had his
mother known she would have been alarm
ed, for the snakes and trogs were plentiful
down there. Indeed, the frogs seemed to
be calling to VIII, so he kept going till he
was a way down in a damp, marshy place,
near pool of water, when he sat down to
listen to them. After waiting awhile~-this
is what he heard: "Order in court! Order
in COURT Order in~court!' came from
large bull frog on a log just above the pool.
viii sat up very straight to hear what
would come next much amused at the SOL
emn looking old fellow, whom he knew at
once to be Judge Bull Frog. Everything
was still for a moment only, when, Here
Is tho prisonerl Here Is the prisoneri' came
from another pompouS looking old fellow
in a very bright green coat that seemed to
VIII without a doubt to be the sheriff. He
looked at VIII fiercely that he knew at
once he must be the prisoner.
Will was SO overcome with surprise that
he did not hear what followed distinctly
but grasped enough to know that he was
charged with ASSEMBLING a frog, turning him
on his back and combining him for time,
with no excuse for doing so but curiosity.
Will remembered that only few days
ago he had examined n frog with his micro

their young friends when they observed
what to them seemed pathetic scene. A
poor, tired woman, with three or four chill
dren clingng about her, was waiting to
make connection with the train for her
home. She had been travelling all day, and
she and the children were traveled-stain-
ed, and probably cross. The twin babies,
about six or seven weeks old, which she
held in her arms, were crying Justify. She
seemed so helpless that the little girls be-
came interested, and they attempted to talk
to her in spite of the crying babies. They
learned that she had forgotten to bring the
necessary bottles of milk for the twins and
that they were hungry and crying for food.
The sympathetic little women Immediately
proceeded to. secure the desired articles.
Going first to a drug store they bought the
nursing bottles, then to the dining room,
where they found milk and before the
train arrived with their little friends. they
had the satisfaction of seeing the children
quietly enjoying their dinners
