FIRST PRIZE
Old Santa oauaa

FIRST Prize
Old Santa came
Looking the same
The same as he did last time,
Down through the air;
Just like big bear;
AS sure as this is rythn.
Filled the stocks,
Some with rocks
And some with toys and candy.
Jimmy did jump
To his stockings so plump
And said, "Santa's dandy"
Rose did find
From Santa so kind
A doll as big as herself.
Johnny looked in
And saw something grin,
A jack-in-box just like an elf

Hunting
One Of the greatest sports of the year
is hunting There are many different
kinds of game.
When you hunt ducks you have to
dress warmly, and wear rubber boots,
because If you shoot duck and it should
fall in the water and you have not a dog
with you you would be obliged to wade
sfa. after 1t. d. There are are different ways 49, Of
Is, where there are two lakes close to-
gether. The ducks fly from one to the
other. This is usually the best shoot
ing
The other way is to make a blind. That
is to gather sticks and grass and make a
kind Of cover from which you can see
the ducks but they cannot see you, and
as they come to the lake you can shoot
them. Some times when you come to a
lake the ducks may already be there.
If they are, people usually scare them
up in some way and as they rise shoot
one barrel at them and then give them
xub III
In hunting prairie chicken we usually
take q rig and drive ten or fifteen miles
out in the country. Then we let the dog
out and tell him to "hie on" He then
runs up and down until he finds some
birds. Then he stands as still as he can
until the hunters come up, when he walks
slowly towards the birds.

What Lille Did
When / lived in the country Tena's
a long time after. She did not care to
take part in our plays any more and
would go by herself and cry. / would
have done something for her to cheer her
ed about her mamma she cried all the
more. But Lille, and older schoolmate,
who liked poetry very much. made her
feel very good. For Tena came to me all
smiling and showed me this letter:
Dear Tena, know you feel very sad
since your mamma died, but I'll tell you
what Longfellow said,
"Be still, sad heart, and cease repining
Behind the clouds the sun Is still shin
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall"
Now, dear Tena, you shall see your
mamma again IN heaven and then the sun
will shine brighter than ever. Come,
Join In our games and be happy.
Your loving Lille.

A Real Story
NV mamma was very careful about her
dishes. Whenever we broke one she would
give us q very hard scolding. Mamma
does not scold US often at all. But when
we break something she gets vexed. She
does not like 1t when we break our play
things and scolds every time when we
break a cup or some other dishes. One
time she got a beautiful china vase for
Christmas and she told US to be very
careful about it. One day 1t was stand
ing on the edge of the table and she
pushed against it with her elbow. 1t fell
to the floor and broke. This time she
did not say a word. When she went to
the kitchen Freddie, who Is five years
old, went after her and whispered to her,
Mamma it is good you broke 1t your
self"
