LITTLE BOY BLUE

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stauneh he stands;
The little toy soldier is red with rust
And his mus1et moulds in his hands;
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now don't you go till I come" he said,
And don't you make any noise!'
So, toddling off to his trundle bed,
He dreamed of the pretty toys;
And, as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true
Aye faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place
Awaiting the touch Of little hand,
The smile of little face;
And they wonder, as waiting the long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

A LOVE SONG

Speak not to me of parting here.
l will not have it so.
One of us may in some dread year,
Some year of chill and snow,
Pass on. But part? BY all above
That we shall never do;
For you are all myself my Love,
And 1 am with you,
You may be called to some far spot,
on some blest errand bent,
And leave me here TO moan my lot
In gracious discomfort.
But parted? Neverl Dire defeat
Dogs those who'd rather make us two;
For you are all myself, my Sweet,
And 1 am one with you.
My spirit intertwines with yours,
And yours is wool of mine.
AS long as love endures
Twill find therein a shrine,
No earthly chance can tear apart
Or sever tie SO true.
Whilst you all myself. my Heart,
And one with you.
John Kendrick Bangs in Ainslee 8.

Thank you very much for it. Your

prize story. 1t is the first time I have
ever tried in a contest of this sort.
didn't expect to win the prize, but
thought that it would be good practice,
so you can imagine my surprise when

BY CARO- SENOUR
(By Special Permission
I've hung up both my stockings
And one for Petite, too;
Petie's the little lame boy
Who hugs and kisses you.
And this one is for you, Nep,
With the big holes in the knee,
You tore them, you bad doggie,
So you can have it, seel
But Petite never knew, Nep,
That Santa comes around
With all our pretty presents
When snow is on the ground.
He just gets what boys don't
want,
Old clothes and busted toys;
I wrote to Santa bout him
To bring him like us boys.
If he forgets him this time,
Because he's lame and poor,
Well share with Petite, won't we,
And play Santa at his door.

HOLIDAY TRIPS

My Dear Boys and Girls:
NY THE time you get around to
X read this page you will have your
~ minds so full of Christmas plans
that perhaps you will not even think of
The Herald Junior this week. Just
now 1 know you are all rushing about
the house, making great preparations
for the Christmas festival which APP
proaches so rapidly.
You will have so many mysterious
parcels to hide, so many whispered con-
versations with mother or big sister,
and will live in such an atmosphere of
excitement that prosaic affairs like the
writer's contests, limerick contests and
so forth in Herald Junior may not even
receive one particle, of~notice this week.
But hope not. 1 hope that great
many of you will say; Nov. must
not forget to wish Aunt Laurie merry
Christmas"
And then while you are extending. the
seasons greeting you might just add
short article telling me where you
would like to spend your holidays, and
how. Would you like to take trip in
an airship? Would you spend the fort
night visiting the man in the moon?
How would it be to travel as the
fairies DO ON moonbeams, and live in
the center of some beautiful glowing
rose?
Who can imagine the trip across the
ocean, travelling on the back of a great
big whale, with occasional dives to the
fS1 And
am sure it would be delightful to fly
away to strange lands mounted upon
the broad back of one of our great
American eagles.
Almost any of these suggestions
might be experienced if one should fall
asleep soon after consuming a big
Christmas dinner. Dreams Of almost
any of these unusual events might fol-
low the exciting and happy day which
I hope this Christmas will be to every
one of my Juniors.
l have already received ample assur-
ance that the YOUNG folk of this depart
ment feel keenly sympathetic for the
other less favored boys and girls whose
Christmas may not be so generous nor
so happy as theirs. 1t is one OF the
happiest thoughts in my mind today TO
realize that the boys and girls of the
Junior have charity for those who need
it, and will generously share whatever
is their own with the boys and girls
whom fortune has not favored so
highly.
A great many of you boys and girls
today are really grieving because you
are not allowed to make your school
teachers any presents.
Shall 1 suggest something which is
within the means of all which no school
board will object to having you present
to her? 1 am sure that each one of
your teachers would find her days made
far happier and her work constant
joy if each pupil would present her
with a perfect department record next
semester, and well prepared lessons.
Now all boys and girls love their
teacher. 1 am sure they 60. They
must, for they are SO constantly under
the teachers supervision thai to fail
in that would be to proclaim her fat
failure. Won't you each try 20 show
her this love and affection next year by
the excellence of your work.
With many loving wishes for nap
by Christmas, AUNT LAURIE.

UNFINISHED STORY

NDLEASE tell us story,

he was boy" added Jessie.
Grandpa smiled. do you see
the big rock over in the pasture,
near the bars, that has bushes
growing about it?" he asked.
eyes, I see it," said both girls.
well, I'll tell you what your
papa did, right there, when he
was only 4 years old"
"Only Ar cried Mary. That's
awful littlel I'm 10 and Jessie's
II; we're lots over 4.
"But neither of you has ever
done what he did-and l don't
wish you to either" grandpa
added.
The girls pricked up their ears
for the story at that.
1--WE had a very gentle old
horse that we called Jenny.
When I came home from any
place and was going to turn her
into the pasture, your papa al
ways wanted to do it himself, SO
[ would give him the end OF the
halter and let him lead her
through the lane to the bars. He
could drop down the ends OF the
bars, for they were only poles,
and then Jenny would hold her
head so that he could slip off the
halter. Jenny would go through
the bars and then he would work
till he had put them up again; he
would never come back till he
had done that"
That's just like papa now,
remarked Mary.
"And a good idea it is, too,
said grandpa. We'll, one time it
was near night when l came
home, and your papa was gone
to the bars longer than usual, so
it was growing dark when | saw
him coming back.
"'What took you so long l.
asked. Didn't Jenny hold her
head down good?'
"'Oh, yes he said; but I saw
a black calf out there in the
bushes, and l thought I'd put the
halter on him and lead him home
There's no calf in the pas
ture,' I said.
Yes, there was he persist
ed-'a funny-looking black cali
I went up to him and tried to put
on the halter, but he wouldn't
hold his head down when L told
him, and then he turned around
and went off into the woods, SO
came home.

100 TO $50 words, tell what the animal

Halloween Franks.

Last Saturday was Halloween.
Mr.. Montgomery of the Holly
Mercantile Co. thought SO on
Sunday morning, when he saw
number of his farming imple-
ments in the middle of the road.
The running gear of a heavy wag-
on was found in front of the
Methodist church, the tongue ex-
tending into the doorway. A
white gate was placed in front Of
the Holly pharmacy. A number
of ladies found large hedge posts
in front of their homes. Mrs.
Jud House found number of
large posts on her front porch.
Baker Bros. found several pieces
of waterpipe in the rear of their
store, and evidently the same mis-
creant had placed several OF the
same pipes on Cheyenne street.
SO that vehicles could not pass un-
til they were removed. Then a
number of outhouses were over
turned.
Altogether it was a memorable
evening-for the victims, some Of
