THE VOICES OF THE DAY
The joyful Notes Of Happy Birds
Heightened the Work.
(Prize.)

I LIVE near a creek and also
Il near quite a number Of
trees on the edge Of the prairie,
therefore I hear many beautiful
sounds during the summer. At
first when [ awake I open my
window. A meadow lark usu-
ally is singing very SOFTLY: The
song is so beautiful that it makes
a person feel as tho he could go
right to work. AS I work a beau
tiful robin may perch near the
window and sing. His melody
is lively but not usually contin-
ued long. Toward noon when I
60 after a pail Of water, a flock
of blackbirds flies to one large
tree and begins to sing in a
chorus. This makes me feel as
tho I ought to be happy also.
After dinner when I am thru
with the homework and have
nothing else to do, I take book
to the orchard. As [ read [
hear the sound of the bees and
flies whizzing around my head,
as tho they were going to sting
me, but I do not mind them
much. A few feet in front Of me
there is small stream running
along so smoothly that I lose all
interest in the book and listen
to its murmer. In short time,
perhaps,it grows quite cloudy and
the wind whistles it's tune. Then
there is a little shower of rain
and I run to the kitchen, where I
listen to it's patter on the roof.

A PANTRY RABBIT LUNCH


Surprising way.
(Prize)
NNE when home from school my mother
~ said, II have surprise for you. Uncle John sent
rabbits he shot" ''Good; you going to
Tell the to dnner.' We all ate the rabbit,
but papa did not like it, After dinner wiped the dishes
and went to school, After school, very hungry,
and to the pantry for something to eat there
found the rabbit and ate piece then went to play
but could not think Of anything but the rabbit wanted
just little more then took little and little
more, till afraid there would be enough for
supper then had to STOP but did want just little
When supper-time my mother said, F'Where
is the rabbit?' I very frightened about it and
said, II ate it, mama.' She surprised that she
did scold me, but said, There is not enough for
supper and you must go to the meat market for
chops - That not much fun to 90 mile for meat
decided the way, to leave the supper meat alone in

Water Gates Are Apt to Be Lit.
tie Hard to Manage,
(Prize.)

MY UNCLE had farm in
l. 4 Nevada that was irri-
gated. by. a large ditch running
from a mountain stream. At the
head Of the ditch there was a
huge gate to regulate the water
supply. I spent much Of my
time there fishing. 1 had been
repeatedly warned never to lower
or raise the gate or NEEDLE with
the mechanism, but one day see
ing a fine fish caught in the
debris strainer I decided to raise
the gate "just a little more'
and the fish would fall out into
the lower ditch, where he could
be easily caught. AS I raised
the gate I stood in the lower
ditch so that 1 could catch the
fish before he got away into the
deep water, but the fish did not
come So I let the gate up "just
q little more.' The water came
with a rush and also the fish.
I reached for the fish and in 50
doing let 60 of the rope. In a
moment I was deluged with the
cold stream. I got out safely and
let the gate down, but without
the fish and with the firmly fixed
idea that I must not always want
"just little more.''

their porches in the evening until the
frogs and crickets had almost sung them

Q

Justice WARREN B. HOOKER still adorns
the bench of the Supreme Court Of New
York, and Hookerism is still a live and
potent influence In the politics Of tho
State. It's latest victim is Assembly
man ARTHUR G. WADE Of Chautauqua
county, whose machine has been wrecked
and whose candidate has been defeated
in the primaries. WADE stood by
HOOKER last year, against the public
sentiment that called for the removal
of that eminent jurist from office. Last
year he wal warned Of the punishment
to be inflicted on him. This year came
his overthrow.
The Grocery believed that the voters
would forget quickly the refusal Of the
Legislature to do its duty by HOOKER.
The Grocery was wrong. The voters
have not forgotten. The political ma
chinists are slow to learn that the de-.
mand for a clean judiciary is something
more than a mere phrase. There is a
prospect that in the school Of expert
ence they may obtain enlightenment on
this subject. In the meantime, Chau-
tauqua county politics is better now
that ARTHUR G. WADE is no longer a
potent factor in it.
