NY FAVORITE SEASON OF THE
YEAR.


Winter is my favorite season Of the
year.
There are three winter months-De-
cember, January and February, though
usually the first snow comes in No
vember and though it does not lay on
the ground all Of the time, yet some
times we can go sleigh riding in
March.
We have more holidays in the win
ter months than any other season in
the year.
like coasting and skating, though
like skating the best.
Snowballing is also great fun, espe-
cially when all the pupils of the school
engage in it and take sides.
How pleasant it is to crowd into a
big bob-sled with the rest of my
friends and classmates and take a
sleigh-ride to the merry tune of the
sleigh-bells.
But best of all are the long winter
evenings at home around the warm
fire studying our lessons for the next
days work at school, reading good
book or magazine or playing games.
The nuts we have gathered in the
fall, together with the popcorn and
apples seem part of our winter pleas
ures.
So of all the seasons of the year,
winter has the most pleasures for me.

THE LAST WEEK OF CONTEST.

Dear Juniors: Next week we will
finish up the contest started Aug. 81.
We will not announce the prize winner
until the Daily Junior Of Sept. % and
the Weekly Junior Of Oct 2. The con-
test has been very satisfactory to the
editor, all the contestants showing
much interest, although few have
been too "tardy" to keep in the con-
test.
We have an excellent paper today
from Mary Elizabeth Wellman Of
Weehawken, N. j., her subject being
John Paul Jones. We are always glad
to hear fro mthe Juniors, and especial
~ from this one, because she was one
of the first Juniors to get on the honor
roll.
We hope that other Juniors will fol-
low her example and send in their
school work this year. We are going
to give an independent prize" that is
we will award it to some Junior who
sends IN a good essay or story, the
subject for which was not announced
in any contest. The Juniors having
nice papers in their school work will
stand an excellent chance for this
prize. We Will not state the exact time
we intend to give the prize. but will
keep the copy Of all school work sent
in for at least two months and award
the prize when the Juniors are least
expecting 1t.
For the last week of the contest end
Ing Friday, Sept. 81, for which a
watch, locket or cross is the prize, we
want the Juniors to write on one of
the following subjects:
The Opening Day Of School,"
my Teacher"
"The Fourth President"
What 1 Saw at the Fair"
Also answer the following question,
besides writing on one of the above
subjects:
do you like to see the honor roll
each week. even if your own name is
not on it?"
The editor wants all Of the Juniors
to whom letters were written
through the Junior to answer them in
these columns. Some Juniors have
written very nice answers. 1t is very
impolite not to answer letters. and we
are sure the Junior boys and girls want
to be polite.
The following are names of the Jun
Tors whose essays reached the Courier
Junior office by 8 o'clock this morning:
Rolla Eberline, Mary Williams, Mag
gle Spencer, May shaffer, Winifred
Hunter, Pearl West, Ansel Hemm,
Norma Daniels. Grace Hightshoe. Vio-
la Ross, Ruth Springer.

WHAT ! WILL DO WHEN i HAVE
GROWN UP.

1 have got in my mind what / now
think I'll do when I am grown up.
First, I want to get a good education.
1 think that helps one out in business
of any kind 1 want to be either a
druggist or a doctor. The druggist
sells the medicine and the doctor
brings it to you, and tells you how much
to take, and they both get good money
out of it. l want to be noted for cur
ing the sick.
When I am grown up and am
through with my school I am going to
work and get money to sxy me an au~
tomobile and little spotted pony. I
think they are both nice. don't you ?
am going to travel too. The first
place I would like to go is to Cali
fornia. have heard and read so much
about it that makes me say 1 will go
there when I am grown. 1 am going
to see the big lakes and big noun
ta.ns, and many beautiful things
that 1 don't get to see now. 1 am go
ing to learn to play ball, then when I
am grown, I will be an expert. I will
knock flyers and throw curves, then
let them hit them if they can. l want
to be a cracker jack, then can strike
them out 1 will bring my Letter to a
close, as it is getting long. Goodbye.
Your little friend,
Ansel Hemm, age 9.

A SHORT VOYAGE.

A boy in the Fourth Reader class
read: Columbus made his first voy-
age of discovery In 1892"
Little Rudolph, whose seat was in
the A-B-C row heard what the Fourth
Reader class read, and wondered very
much to himself what voyage was,
and if he could make one with the new
hammer and saw that his papa had
given him on his birthday.
All the way home the little Abe
scholar kept wondering what a "voy-
age" was, and he said the word over
what 1t meant
Mama, what is voyage Can you
tell me?" little Rudolph asked as soon
as he had closed the door,
s'Why, Rudolph, when people go in
ships, large boats, you know, across
the ocean, the trip is called 'voy-
age"
Have you ever gone one, Mama?"
asked Rudolph.
NO. I never have" said Rudolph's
Mama. Are you ready for dinner?"
Eyes. Can't l go one, Mama?"
when you get big, maybe you can"
answered his Mama. Would you like
a potato?"
"a very little one, please. How big
must get before l can go one,
Mama?"
ooh, don't konw, Rudolph. Don't
talk any more now. Eat your dinner
or you will be late for school,"
So Rudolph stopped talking of "voy-
ages" but he didn't stop thinking of
them; and all of the afternoon the lit
tie AB-C boy tried to imagine what
a voyage would be like and kept look.

pass anything recorded in the annals
of naval warfare.
The proper name of this renowned
sailor was John Paul. but in after life
he added the surname Jones, because
he did not wish to be considered as
traitor by fighting against the British.
He was born on the southwestern coast
Of Scotland July 6, 1747.
When he was very young he wanted
to go to sea, and at the age of IL he
was apprenticed to Scottish ship
master, who engaged in American
trade
His first voyage was to Virginia.
where his elder brother lived as a
planter. Before he was IS years old,
he commanded a vessel that traded
with the West Indies.
Two years before the breaking out
of the revolutionary war his eldest
brother died and John Paul being heir
to his estate, went to Virginia to settle
He was minded to give up sea-fariniy
and lead a peaceful life as Virginia
planter, but this was not to be.
Two brief years passed by when the
battle Of Lexington called the Amerl-
cans to arms. Jones, then % years of
age, sided with the patriots, and offered
his service to congress. These were
gladly accepted and In the last month
of 1775 the first ensign ever shown by
Ia regular man-of-war was hoisted on
the Delaware river. on board the Alfred
by the hands Of our hero.
John Paul at once distinguished him
self in the most brilliant manner. In
one short cruise he took six sixteen
prizes, Of which he burnt eight, and
sent the other eight to different ports.
He had many sharp encounters with
kings ships, and he captured one,
which had on board company of Brit
ish troops and ten thousand suits of
clothes,-a most valuable acquisition
for tho Americans in 1776. In few
months Captain Jones had swept the
northern Atlantic clear Of British
merchant vessels.
1t was not until 1777 that congress
adopted our present national flag, and
Jones was the first to hoist the stars
and stripes upon a national vessel
The famous battle fought between
the Bonhomme Richard and the Scrap
is has often been described, and after
a few hours of good hard fighting
Jones. the commander of the Bonhom-
me Richard, won the day.
His life was prolonged only three
years more and he died in 1892, at the
early age of 40.
In 1905 his body was discovered in
France and brought to America by all
American fleet sent to France for that
purpose, and placed in new tomb
built for 1t at Annapolis Maryland.

friends out of town, most of them be-
ing from Ottumwa.
They we're to spend three days and
two nights with us. The first day we
drove over to the river. After dinner

asked papa if we couldn't go in a little
farther. He then took off his shoes
and socks and waded out and put up a
large stick and told us not to go be-
yond it, and we didn't. The next day
it rained and we waded in the mud to
our hearts content We went across
the river again. After the picnic they
all went home that night.
After the house party was the fun
of the Fourth of July. l then went to
the chautauqua and had so much fun
and brought a little friend home with

He ought'nt ter git hot.
Why, feller's muvver raised him
Since he was a little kid.
don't think we gives 'em credit
For half that they have did.
A baby's an awful nuisance;
There's Bill Jones' sister, Kate
Why, almost every morning
It's her at makes Bill late.
Bills most allus tardy,
Allus brings note.
Had ter mind the baby
Is what his muvver wrote.
And when I think that muvver
Had to mind me all the time.
When was cross and teething',
Why, up in her lap climb,
And throw my arms around her neck
And hug her good and tight
For,-she's my muvver and she's al
right.
