THE YOUNG SHEPHERD
BY Theodore koebie, Age IL Years,
Class B

Jimmy, you had better feed the
sheep little earlier tonight for heavy
storm is coming" said papa.
So little Jimmy ran obediently to the
barn, and to his utter dismay he found
the sheep had gone to the wood lot be-
yond.
For a moment Jimmy stood still and
looked at the empty fold and then said:
1T was all my carelessness for leaving
the gate open this morning. Oh, dear,
how black that sky is! I will not let
anyone help me. I'll bring the sheep
home as fast as 1 cam"
So away ran Jimmy. The sheep knew
that the storm was coming and were all
huddled closely together. When they
heard Jimmy's familiar call they knew
he was coming FOR them. AS soon as
Jimmy found them he was very glad.
About half way home Mamie, one OF
the sheep, and her little lamb lay down
by the roadside.
Poor Mamie, can't you possibly go
any farther? Here, let me help you"
said Jimmy.
But in spite of Jimmy's coaxing the
sheep lay still.
"She will get sick out here in the
woods this rainy weather" thought
Jimmy.
Then a happy idea struck him and he
put the big umbrella he carried over the
old sheep and her little lamb and
brought the other ones home.
Jimmy's father took the wheelborrow
and got Mamie and her lamb home.
When Jimmy's mother saw her son
come home all dripping wet she gave
him a hot bath and some ginger tea.
and when she tucked him in bed she
said, Were you not afraid Of catching
cold, my SOM"
at did not think of myself mother,

me to visit a sick man (we'll call him
Smith, mining engineer.
Smith lay in a stale-looking bed in
a stale-looking suit of pajamas. His
stuffy room was in disorder-a shoe on
chair, a shirt hung on picture
frame, a vest on the floor. And there
was dirt everywhere. The room had
not been swept for a week.
"And in the midst of this mess lay
Smith, himself no tidier.
"Col. Harding wrinkled his nose in
disgust.
by jingo, Smith, he said. it's too
bad The only clean thing in your room
is your towel.'"

VISIT TO A MINT
By George L. HorIne, Age IS Years.
Class A

NidSS -
If was once my good fortune to live
] in a little town in the. vicinity OF san
Francisco. We often made trips there
during the summer months. This city,
as everyone knows, contains many
things of interest, and prominent
among these is the mint.
The building itself is an imposing
one. built of stone with lofty pillars
and broad steps of granite.
On entering you are met by an officer
who kindly informs you that 1t is the
law of the institution to leave all
bundles with him until your return.
After sufficient number of people
have arrived a guide Is summoned who
with a polite fright this way, If you
please" proceeds to lead the sight
eers.
| First you are shown massive vaults
of immense strength in which millions
of dollars are kept safe from fire and
burglar alike. Then we were shown
upstairs where the actual work was
going on. Men wheeled little cars OF
gold brick worth thousands of dollars
with no more air of concern than If 1t
were so much dirt.
| Next we saw the roaring furnaces in
which the bricks are converted into Il
fiery molten mass. After the alloy
has been added the metal is next seen
in the shape of long, narrow ribbon
like pieces, a little thicker than the
finished coin. These are rapidly sent
through a machine that punches out
little disks, the size of the coin in much
the same way you have seen your
mother cut out cookies. Now all that
remains to be done Is the stamping.
The little pieces are fed into the
stamping machine by which both sides
are stamped. This machine works so
fast that the money comes out in a
steady stream.
1t is now finished, although each
piece is examined by experts and
| finally weighed carefully. If any coin
fails to stand the right test it is re-
| melted,
