Betsy found hens nest in the ash
hopper among her nasturtiums. She
the hcn-evidently had an eye for the
beautiful, and her-Bctsy SCI criticism
on Sans failure to find her-the hens
nest, was not well taken. Sam had
been hunting for several days, of and
on but mostly Off, and had looked un-
der every brush pile and broken the
poke stalks down in every fence corner

when he congratulated Betsy upon
finding it she said: 81 knew where il
was all the time; | just wanted to see
you hunt. Now what do you think OF

a fine album as the prcttiest girl, JOE

ciincd to physical eXertion, and John
Bennett a wash pan and cake Of soal
as the person possessing least claims tC
physical beauty. Miss Dolores Sui

from the top Of the school building
kissing the free air 1t loves so well ant
