Dear Juniors. The Thanksgiving
contest closes Tuesday, Nov. 26. The
Juniors under the head Of prize WIN
ners'' have all done excellent work IN
the animal contest" and will re-
ceive their prizes in few days.
We have some splendid stories for

what prizes they have selected when
they send their stories to the Juniors.
When they fail to state what they
want. why of course we select the
prizes. Two little girls who recently
won prizes did not tell us what they
wanted until after they found out they
were prize winners. In the meantime
we had selected their prizes and we
feel that they are disappointed in our
choice Also select your prizes
from among the articles mentioned
in the Junior when you write your
story
Today we have the pleasure OF
Introducing to you all our Junior
friends. Cora Scholl and Katie Jo-
seph Of Williamsburg, and the picture

THE GREAT MAGIC.

In the town OF TT on the west col &
of Graham Island boy named Slegl
hunted and fished with his brothers.
One day a white sea otter can't
swimming about in front of the town.
All the people went out in their cay
noes to try and catch 1t. They shot
at it with their arrows, but the white
sea otter did no seem to mind that and
kept on swimming about ina most tan
tallzing way. Then Slego went out IN
his canoe and shot at it and killed It.
When he had skinned the animal he
said to his youngest brother: Go
wash its skin in the water and when
it is cleaned will make you jacket
of It," So the youngest brother went
wading out into the water and washed
the skin.
AS he was doing 50 school Of XII
ler-whales came rushing in and sur
rounded him. HE has the skin OF
our chief" they cried. Let us carry
him away to the enchanted island
where the great magician, Always-ip
the-Cradle, will hold him prisoner for
evermore."
The boy cried out for help and the
brothers came rushing to the beach;
but before they could get to him. a
killer-whale had the boy on his back
and was swimming rapidly away with
him. q
The brothers returned lamenting to
the house. but Slego determined to
rescue his lost brother If such, thing
were possible and, while the others
We're moaning and crying, he went to

of the town and told him of what had
happened.

CIRCUS STORY.

When a person goes to circus they
can see many animals that do not be-
long in their own country. The ele-
plant is about the largest animal. IT
comes from India. They have long
trunk with which they take food to
their mouth. A circus nearly always
has elephants with them.
The camel comes from Arabia. 1t ls
a very queer animal. 1t has hunch
on its back and can travel on a des'
ert for long way and never get
thirsty for water does long time.
The lion is very savage animal.
1t belongs in Africa. 1t Is called "the
king of the forest"
The tiger comes from India. 1t be-
longs to the cat family and possesses
some of its stealtniness, but Pc
son would not think that it was a rel
alive to our own gentle cats.
The dromedary comes from Arabia.
When it starts along 1t seldom turns
aside but goes on in the straight path.
Should it go out Of the way OF a bush
it would go on again because it Is too
stupid to turn out.
The bears, gorillas, leopard, zebra
and panther, giraffe and many others
are used to perform at circuses. The
bears and gorillas are very strong
animals and the gorilla can kill man
with one strike of it's paw. 1t Is very
like man in its actions.
The zebra Is a pretty animal. 1t is
striped, and the leopard Is spotted.
The giraffe has a very long neck
and eats the tops, of trees.
The elephant performs at circus
and Is very awkward. The monkey
generally rides pony.
