To the Juniors, especially the ones
who contributed to the San Francisco
box: Last Saturday evening two boxes
were sent from the Courier office to
Mayor Schmitz Of San Francisco from
the Juniors. The editor wishes that
every little girl and boy who sent in
packages could have been present
when the boxes were being packed.
They contained dresses, jackets, capes,
towels, new Bingham, blankets, combs,
pins, l doll. thread, needles, safety
pins, handkerchiefs, stockings, under
wear, looking glass, scissors, tooth
brushes, safety pins, wash cloths, soap,
both toilet and laundry. All the old
dresses and underwear were in excel
lent order, besides being perfectly
clean. In fact, the editor knows that
these boxes are the incest ones that
were sent to San Francisco. The Jun
Tors of the Courier family are the best
children in the world. Just think how
many children you all have made hap
py. We have received several pack
ages this week and will send
them Saturday evening, May IL.
Several of the Juniors failed to
give their names. The editor wants to
hear from these Juniors, because be-
sides putting their names on the honor
roll, the Courier Junior will send each
of the charitable Juniors a souvenir.
Now, we want all these Juniors to
write nice letter or story for the
Courier Junior. The first Junior to
a R5ng N Louise pe'k Rewe was mtly
her name leads the honor roll. Many
thanks to all the dear Juniors for their
contributions. God will bless them for
this sweet spirit of charity.

Marion asked if their guest wished

Receiving a brief negative she
quickly withdrew to throw herself on

laughter
"Oh,. 1T is such fun! and mother acts
1t out SO well, If she did forget about
the dishes!" she said to her sisters.
The next morning friend, who was
in the secret, called in her carriage to
take Mrs Herrick driving with
friends she wished her to meet"-who
proved to be two neighbors. In the
afternoon they all sat quietly with
their work on the piazza.
One day Elsie and her mother re.
turned some calls long due, and every
where Elsie explained that her mother
was visiting her, and begged them to
call.
Friends planned to call different
days, and, entering into the spirit of
the thing, Mrs. Herrick was invited
out informally more than she had been
for year. She thoroughly enjoyed it,
and her hostesses declared she looked
ten years younger. Elsie arranged the
pretty gray hair in new style which
she had learned when away, and it
proved vastly becoming. Elizabeth
and Marion did all the mending, and
Elsie. who was unusually def with her
needle, made over white dress for
her guest, SO that 1t looked like new.
Elsie tried to economic and yet have
palatable meals, and she found GER

One little flights promise that you'll

One leap to public favor Is a pledge
that you will stay
You can't do that unless you make a

If by your desultory style, you prove

One winning stroke but binds you to

This world was not constructed for the

One flash is not nugget-gold is con

The world keeps looking higher than
the level you've attained,
And thinks you retrograding till It's

No stand still will it tolerate; slide

Your name among the "has-beens' as

The standard you established when
