LAURA Carroll.

One bright, sunny day Laura Carol
decided TO have a party in the garden
and with her mothers consent she
invited six of her friends, but two
could not come, so she invited May
johnson and Polly Gray. May was the
wash woman's daughter. while Polly
was an orphan living with poor fam
lily of French people. Alta Mason and
Maud Parsons, who were merchants
daughters. did not like it. They were
proud and at first refused to come and
Laura of course felt little hurt, but
she ran and told her mamma all about
1t. Her mother advised her to tell them
that they needn't come if they did not
want to. She told Laura not to give
up good friends for proud ones.
Laura did as she was told and went
on with her party. They all came to
1t but Alta and Maud.
The girls had very good time. At
first May and Polly were rather shy.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the
guests went home, while Laura helped
clear away the remains of the party.
After that she told her mother she was
going for walk in the woods down to
the pond and she started out singing
gaily.
In the meanwhile Maud and Alta had

White river valley, twelve miles from
Seattle, Washington, and we went and
saw Indians picking hops. There were
some red Indians too. We would get
the Indian women to make us some
rugs. They would fry their pancakes
on the lid of the stove. My two broth
ers would go and pick hops. My two
little brothers would go down to the
brook and fish. They would not be
gone long till they would come home,

and they were just fine | liked to live
in Washington. We used to live among
the mountains. We could see Mount
Baker and Mount Rainier from where
we lived. We used to watch the In
dams come down the river in their
boats. When hop picking time came,
some of the Indians would wear feath-
ers in their hair. My mamma and papa
and my two little brothers went out
for buggy ride down the river to see
the Indians coming up the river to
pick hops in their boats and some of
them would swim and some OF the
children would play in the sand. Well,

news items. Each one Of you knows
something interesting that has hap
pened lately. Perhaps there was a
fire in your neighborhood or run
away. Maybe you have been to the
theatre and have seen a clever play,
or your school may have given an en-
tertainment. You may have heard of
an accident, q death, or some other
calamity. At all events you know
some piece Of news that you can tell
US.
Look over the paper carefully and
study the way the articles are writ
ten. Then try to write a similar
one.
Even If your news is q year or two
old, you can write it as though 1t hap
pened yesterday. Do not make a reg
ular story of it, such as you have been
writing. but make newspaper article
of it.
Let us see who will be the best re-
porter. We are going to give love-
ly book for the best news item sent
in before Thursday.

Dear EdllOr.
Last Monday our family went to a
family picnic at Rock Bluff, four miles
from town. First we went on the street
car to the boat house, to the Steamer
that was to convey us to our destina-
ton. 1t was small affair, not more
than thirty feet long. 1t had deck,
with pilot house and life boat" and
a "cabin"--taking most of the room
under the deck and being on the level
with the water and the machine room.
The paddles were at the end. 1t was
worked by gasoline and suggested to
me that tho term 'gasolener" was
more appropriate than steamer" It's
name was Nellie Bly," 1t went at the
rate of eight knots an hour
Before we started we (the young
people, of course) played in the many
rowboats 'for rent" When we arrived
at Rock Bluff we found the mosquitoes
so bloodthirsty that we didn't care to
stay LONG. We ate our ai,nnAS at 4

over the edge to see the little dark OBJ

balance and plunged over into the
water. She screamed for help. Laura
who was strolling that way,

"A TRIP THROUGH COLORADO.

A little over month ago on We'd
nesday, July 18th, my papa, mamma,
sister, brother and myself, together
with the family of jeff Davis, making
ten in the crowd, left Eldon for a
tourists trip through Colorado.
We reached Denver. Colorado, at
10000 p. M. Thursday, July 10. We
retired for the night at Hotel Oxford
about one-half block rom the Union
depot.
Next morning after breakfast our
family took the street car for my cous-
ms home, which we left in the after
noon to visit the city and town park.
In the evening we visited Elitch's Gar
den, where we witnessed the pretty
opera entitled "A Japanese Nightin-
gale"
morning fer Colorado Springs. Colo.
On our way there we passed Palmer
Lake. which is very pretty. From
the depot at Colorado Springs we had
splendid view of Pixies Peak. That
afternoon after Mr.. Davis ard papa
had found rooms in which we would
stay while in Colorado Springs. we
took the street car for Manitou, Colo
From there we walked out to Rain
bow Falls and Soda Springs. We re-
turned to Colorado Springs about 800
p. m. and retired for the night at our
rooms. We boarded at the same
place.
Next morning we had our dinner
nut up at bakery and lunch room.
Then we went out to Stratton Park
and from there we took burrows for
the Seven Falls On our way to them
we rode through Cheyenne Canyon
and saw the trail to Helen Hunt Jack
sons grave Besides these we saw
many other interesting things in the
rocks. We climbed up the steps at
Seven Tails and had our pictures talk
en- at the foot of them. The next day
we took carriages and went out to the
Garden of the Gods" and Balanced
Rock. I suppose most Of you have
seen pictures of these; II so, they de-
scribe them better than | can. From
the Balanced Rock we drove back to
Manitou and left our carriages there
and part Of us walked UP to Ute Iron
Springs and the rest took the street
car. I drank from both the Iron and
Soda Springs, but I did not like the
water very well.
Next morning we left the Davis
family at Colorado Springs and we
took the train for Salida, Colorado, to
visit our cousins.
We had to change cars at Pueblo,
Colo, and having to wait there about
three hours, we walked around the
city and ate DINNER at restaurant.
We then returned to The depot about
an hour before our train was due.
About thirty miles on this side of
Salida we passed the Royal Gorge"
and over the "Hcnging Bridge"
There was no observation car on our
train. so we stood out on the back of
the car while we went through the
gorge I thought this was the most
wonderful sight we had witnessed.
Our cousins met us at the train
and we visited there about nine days.
We left for homo at 1900 a. m. Wed.
nesday, and reached here at 11:00 p.
m. Thursday.
