A DAY IN THE WOODS

1t was May 5, and the sun was
shining brightly, and Alice, May,
Ella, Ida and Mary decided to spend
the day in the woods.
They each carried basket which
contained lunch.
When they reached the woods they
found a nice messy and shady place
where they left their baskets for they
thought it would be a nice place to
eat their lunch.
They went on and gathered flowers
till it was noon. Then they went and
ate their lunch and rested awhile.
Then they went and gathered flow
ers. They played several games and
by that time thought it was time to
go home. They each took their bas-
kets and started off.
When they reached the place where
they all had to part, they all said that
they had had a GOOD time. They told
their mammas the same thing.

THE CAMEL

The camel is very useful to the
Arabs. He is sometimes called, "The
ship of the desert Some camels have
one hump on their back and others
have two humps.
The camel can carry from eight
hundred pounds to thousand
pounds. 1t has long eyelashes, so
when there is a sand storm they can
cover their eyes SO the sand cannot
get into their eyes.
The camel can run very swiftly.
The skin of the camel is made into
water bags and clothing
The hump is q supply of fat This
gives the camel food while on the
desert.
The young camels are taught to
kneel by the Arabian children. They
get bowl of milk and hold it little
way from it, and then switch their
legs and then give them the milk.
The camel has calloused places on
his knees from kneeling down In the
sand.

EARLY FLOWERS

The earliest flower Of spring is
generally the spring beauty. 1t is a
lovely little flower. Its colors are
pink, and white and 1t is found most
ly among bushes.
The next flowers are generally the
Dutchman breeches, Leopard Tongue,
Blood Root, Violet and Bluebell.
They are all very beautiful and we
get them about the last of April and
the first of May.
Then later in the fall comes the
Golden Rod. 1t is beautiful bright
yellow or gold color. 1t is used much
in the schools for drawing because
it is so pretty. l think wild flowers
are the lovliest things of nature.

Sharp Ears said.
DO you know you are killing all
the animals of the forest?"
"But must have food answered
Tawny Name.
THAT is just what we have come
to see you about" answered Sharp
Ears" We have thought Of a plan
by which you shall have food without
going out of doors after it. We will
draw lots and whoever the lot falls
upon will have to come here to your
den for your food"
THAT is a good plan," answered
Tawny Name.

fell upon a little rabbit whose name
was Cottontail. He was in no hurry

The lion is the best known animal
to man. 1t is found in the whole OF
Africa and in Southern Asia. The
usual color of the adult lion is yellow

The lioness is about a foot less. The
jaws of the Ito mare short and strong.
the tongue is long and flat, and the
teeth at the corners of the jaws are
long and sharp. The front teeth are
short, enabling it to seize and hold it's
prey The fore-feet have five toes
and the hind feet have four toes. The
claws are very large and sharp. 1t
lives chiefly in sandy plains and

ADVERTISING

I think advertising is very good
plan.
1t pays to advertise in the Ottumwa
Courier.
Many people from Birmingham take
it and read every advertisement.
They think there are cheap things
at Ottumwa so they patronize the mer-
chants. If all merchants would ad-
vertise in the daily papers the
many nice things which they carry in
stock they would surely have a good
trade the year round
All intelligent people read the daily
papers and they can not help seeing
the merchants advertisements and In
this way they would find out where
the bargains are to be found.

ADVERTISING

Advertising is a very helpful thing.
For instance If man wants some one
to work for him he may get them by
advertising. And if some one wants
place to work, they many look in
the want ads. to see if there is any
place.
If anything is found it may be adj
vertised in the paper and the owner
of the article may know where to go
for it.
And if anyone wants to rent a
house they many look in tie advertise
ments of the Couier and they will
very likely come across one that they
wish to rent. Therefore l think ad.
vertising is a very good plan.

THE ELEPHANT

There are two species of elephants,
the African and Asiatic, the latter diff

height its larger ears and bullying
forehead. 1t has only three external
hoofs on the hind feet while the
Asiatic has four.
The so called white elephants are
merely albinos.
All elephants are remarkable for
tneir large heavy bodies and heads,
supported by short stout legs and
short thick necks.
They have long trunk, often four
or five feet in length formed by the
union of the nose and upper lip. The
trunk is of great strength and serves
for breathing smelling, tasting and
touching
The tusks are only very long upper
incisor teeth and are not seen in
young animals but in the older ones
they are sometimes seven or eight
feet long.
Elephants sometimes grow to be
fifteen feet high but the average
height is about nine or ten feet
Their weight is from four thousand
to nine thousand pounds.
They live to the age of one hun
dered and more.
Elephants are caught either singly
or in herds. If caught singly one Of
the elephants legs is caught in the
moose of strong rope and fastened
to tree. Then the others are caught
and securely fastened. Then the
captors camp beside him till he has
become peaceable When number
are to be caught strong enclosure
is built and the elephants are driven
into this by fire and great noises.
They are then tied and tanned
Tiger shooting is often practised
from an elephants back. The small

Using helps the trade with many
