Throughout the schools of ST. Louis tho
early method OF teaching English is being
used. Within a few days after entering
school a child can express his thoughts in
writing. What he sees, thinks, hears and
imagines he is required 10 put down in
writing, and in this way he quickly be-
comes acquainted with the use of the lam
guage.
It is claimed by competent authority that
within six weeks after entering school a
child can write a letter conveying all the
ideas which he wishes to convey. 1t will
be full of mistakes in spelling and In gram
mar, but the pupil shows that he has some
knowledge of the use of words.
The following are the compositions of st.
Louis children written a few weeks after
entering school.
Thoughts of small children in the Benton
School:
saliie and the Twins.
Once upon a time there was a little girl.
Her name was Sallie. Sallie was 10 years
old. She had twin sisters. They were 5
years old The twins had very fine names
indeed. Sallie liked the twins very much.
The twins liked Sallie, too. One twins
name was Margaret and the other ones
name was Arabella. Sallie liked the hen
very much. The hens were not afraid OF
salhe. Sailie went into the barn to get
me eggs. Sallie was gathering the eggs.
Soon she had an apron full. Then the
twins called her. Sallie did not want them
W HHu ner. Inc only way she could not
let them find her was to Jump from the
loft sallie jumped with the apron full OF
eggs. They say when you jump the eggs
will jump with you.

WHERE JESSE JAMES WAS KILLED

tanned no fewer than 10000 people. and a
glance inside the blood-stained little room
convinces that every one of the sight-seers
either carried away some keepsake or wrote
his name on the wall. The four walls and
ceiling. once white, now look like a direc-
tory of the world. The room remains the
same as when the Ford brothers that April
morning pulled their guns and made their
s1e,O o. shots.
The stable IN the rear of the building has
been almost entirely carried away by relic
hunters. 1t was here Jesse James kept his
famous Siroc, who carried him safely out
OF 50 many battles with officers of the law.
1t is plain from the location OF the house
that the James gang could have withstood
an army from the house. Twenty years
ago there was not a house within 400 yards.

house could shoot down from every side.

Woman.
II by some strange mfShap

II by some strange mishap
She fell
Out Of her mothers lap,
To dwell
Alone upon some pleasant isle, ere yet
Her gaze had ever met
The look of any man-befors
Her ears had ever heard
The sound of any word
II Fate or Fortune bore
Her. in her infancy, away.
And God. from day to day,
Sent succor to her, spread
Protecting hands above her head
If she dwelt all alone,
Where winds were sweet and skies were
Saw no face but her own
Enchanting face reflected where
She knelt to quaf the stream
While ~babyhood and childhood passed
II ne'er
In waking hour or dream
The shadow of another's form were cast
Before her till. at last,
Possessed Of woman's charms
She turned all suddenly
To see
A man with outstretched arms
She would, with many a vile,
Evade his fond embrace
And fee
With cruel tauntS before him willis
He sped in eager chase
With Love entreating in her heart.
Still she would smile
To see him play a foolish part,
Would torture him with all a woman's ART.
And then. beholding him as one who grips
Despair's cold hand. rush back to rest
In sweet contentment on his breast.
And, signing. yield her lips.

The Captive CrocuA

A little maid with golden hair,
When winter SHOWS were deep,
Was prisoned in a narrow cell
Within a donjon deep.
Her captor was a wizard king,
Tyrarnical and Old;
Twin warders watched her night and day.
Their names were Dark and Cold.
A Prince came riding through the wood,
His waving plume was green.
And thick with crystal broidery
His tunic's silken sheen.
He slew the warders in their tower,
O'erthrew the ancient King.
And happy lovers forth they went,
The crocus and the spring.
