WAITING for Their General

On one cold winters day, small
bright-eyed boy of five played in the
nursery with his tin soldiers. After a
long struggle, the blue tin soldiers
finally won the day. Then leaving his
toys and charging them to wait for his
return. he sought his nurse and was
put to bed During the night our lit
tie darling died. The next day, the tin
soldiers waited for him, but he did not
come. Days, months, even years went
by, but the neglected toys were still
faithful. One day, a nice lady came
into the nursery and seeing the rusty
tin soldiers, burst into tears, for the
sight OF them brought back memories
OF her lost baby. The tin soldiers
then understood why their little gen.
eral had not returned and they wept.

A STORY About My Rooster

I am going to write you a story
about my rooster, Bob.
one day my mamma made a large
chocolate cake and put 1T on the pam
try shelf by the window to cool, and
the pantry window was open and
mamma forgot all about the chickens
until she heard a noise. She looked in
and there stood Bob in the middle of
the cake, scratching with both feet and
calling the other chicks to come. If
this story is all right 1 will write one
about my hen.

Sliding Down Hill

One bleak winter day I went to the
country to see my friend Ruth. We
played with her dolls and when we
grew tired of that she proposed that
we should go sliding on a hill about a
quarter of mile away. We took her
bob and another sled, called for one of
her friends. then went to the hill. 1t
was covered with ice from springs and
there was ditch with a fence in ii at
the bottom. / thought that we would
run into the fence and get hurt, but L
did not like to show that was afraid,
so 1 went. When we got to the bot
tom she did not steer into the ditch
and after that l was not afraid.

of the children. Plunging through the
water towards them, he lifted them
very gently, one at a time, and carried
them to place of safety.
This elephant, whose name was Gus.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte was born at
Corsica in the year 1863. Napoleon's
career far surpassed that OF every 9TH
er conqueror that preceded him. At
the age of q he was raised to the COM
mand OF the French army, and after
conquering Italy and having the Aus
trians sign a treaty, he returned to
France, abolished the directorate and
caused himself to be proclaimed first
consul and finally emperor of France.
In this latter position he raised his
three brothers to the rank of kings.
To him France is indebted for an ad-
mirable code of laws, in the formation
of which he was the efficient agent.

Evanueline

Evangeline is Longfellow's greatest
work. His reputation as a poet is
founded on this story. The plot of the
story is based on the expulsion of the
Acadians. In the first part of the
story, he describes the village, serene
and peaceful, as 1t lay previous to the
kings inhuman edict. Then he goes on
to describe the characters of the story,
the kings edict, and last of all, the
death of Benedict Bellefontaine on the
sea shore with the burning of the vii
lage homes for his funeral torches.
In the second part, the Acadians are
in banishment. Evangeline is roaming
