On Saturday morning, my friend and I put up
some signs the house and made cookies, while
the other members fixed the tables lawn.
We all had early luncheon. and were ready and
waiting for customers long before o'clock. We
had fancy table, a candy table and ice cream
table We also had chance doll. When the peo-
pie were very busy, and kept until
about o'clock. Then counted our money and
found that had SIG, which great deal
more than we had expected. We rafied off the
chance doll. and it was won by neghbor Of ours,
who laughed, as all did. when gave 1t to him.
The money is going to be sent to The Tribune

when 1 was eleven years old. was crossing over
to Hoboken on a ferryboat, in company with my
mother. father and cousin. We were standing
the deck. when suddenly that the iron
steamboat DreamIand was headed straight for US.
My father told mother to hold tightly 20 a pole,
and then he clutched my cousin and myself firmly
around waists. In another instant there was
terrible crash. and the whole cabin of tho
ferryboat carried away. A huge hole was torn
in the bow Of the DreamIand also. No one was
hurt, though several suffered from severe nervous
shocks. and woman screamed frantically, "Ohs
Can't we get off the boat?'' This accident left a
deep impression me. and even now think OF 10

hand work. as you by visiting the rooms
of some Of the societies devoted TO the arts and
would strongly advise you to study in this way
the work Of those who have become master crafts
men. You must not feel discouraged If it shows
you your limitations; but rather let it incite you
to further effort for if you will persevere you will
in time surely do good work yourself.
AS 1t is always interesting to make some
useful article illustration L think for
