Miss Ida Brooks, the city librarian,
invited all the children who are patrons
Of the library to taffy pulling at the
assembly room of the library Friday
evening and more than hundred young
sters responded to the invitation, and
they had as one youngster expressed it,
"the time of their lives" Miss Brooks
is a warm favorite among the children
and they are all very fond of her.
The women of Leon are planning tag
day to be held some time in January.
The proceeds are to furnish rest room
for women and children who are tenn
porarily visitors in the city and who are
not the guests of friends and do not
! feel able to stand the expense of stop
ping at hotel. The rest room will soon
be permanent fixture in every Iowa
town, and it is another step in the right
direction. 1t again shows that a town
is interested in the welfare of her
que SITS, and that hospitality is not a mere
empty word Burlington Hawk Eye.

Innocence of Youth,

| A little shaver who is exceedingly
fond of horses and never misses a
chance for ride, recently began at
tending the school connected with the
church in which his parents are COM
municants. Soon after entering the
school, his teacher, devoted sister,
tried to impress upon his infantile
mind the necessity for praying, a duty
with which he was nor familiar. In
his innocence, he asked why he should
pray. The teacher told him that he
must pray if he would go to heaven
when he died and described it's beauty.
He listened very intentIy and then ask
ed the teacher, if there would &c any
horses in heaven? The teacher
could not assure HIM that there would
be any horses within the pearly gates.
Much to the surprise and horror of the
teacher, the little fellow remarked,
that he did nut want to go were there
were TO horses.
