q GHOSTLY REVEI.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One cool
September evening up in the country some boys
and girls including myself, decided TO dress up as
ghosts to scare the neighbors. We hurriedly ished
I'D lot of big sheets from the linen closet and
set 10 work arraying ourselves in the snowy dra-
perfes We arranged them that they cleared
the ground by eight inches making appear in

had on sneakers" and stealthily and silently
started out on the road-the smallest first and the
taIlest last.
There was no moon, and could with difficulty
find our way along the road. Before we had gone
far we heard footsteps approaching. "HushT' whis-
pered the leader. ITS a man. AS each of US
sailed past him gave long-drawn-out moan
and he gave q mighty start! He sort of laughed
uneasily then passed AS the next person
passed we climbed over the stone wall and bobbed
our heads up and down making queer noises. AS
no one else happened along, we decided to have
some fun at a house where several girls lived, and
marching steathiy up the front windows. we ar
ranged ourselves in row, with simply our heads
appearing above the sills We managed to steal
glances through the openings in the sheets and be-
held the girls sitting the light OF log fire, half
asleep We tapped lightly upon the window panes
with our finger nails, and finally one OF our vic
tins looked up and jumped about two feet out of
her chair! The others, hearing her scream, jumped
I'D too and we bobbed down of sight, then up
again By this time they had their suspicious
aroused and. coming out the porch, invited

THE ADVENTURES OF A BIRD.


Once upon a time little bird went out into the
world in search of adventure. and was so success
full in its search that although like all other
birds, It had. of course, only head. 1t was
not long before IL had been twice beheaded- After
this 1t found itself growing beside the water with
a number of companions. Its feet were fastened
into some mud, and il could neither fly nor sing.
It tired of staying in one place, and in
the hope of producing agreeable change threw
away what was serving 1t as head and then sue
ceeded IN getting back one of the heads IL had
formerly possessed. Then it travelled all over
the world wherever the English language is
spoken, but spent all its time in the rather unin-
teresting occupation Of commanding. beseeching
and imploring everybody to be silent. Wearytns
at length of this existence, IT again changed its
head, taking this time the it had first lost.
Then, although it gave up trying to bring about
a universal silence, 1t even less agreeable to
others than it had been before. for its whole
versation consisted of exclamation of contempt.
1t fell into such general disfavor in this state
that it decided TO hunt up something quite
in the way of head and chose that made II
exceedingly energetic individual. Life then
was always exciting, but wearing that another
change of head was necessary. This change
left II still of rather violent nature and IL was
often seen about where fluids of some kind which

takers, who poured forth words SO plentifuIIy
that they resembled stream Of water. After

if they do that the boys will produce badges bear

name of the Lincoln Post of the Waring Juvenile
League and that If they don't respect the badges
the boys will summon officer from the nearest
police station to back up their authority. These
boys are the recognized and authorized inspectors
of the Street Cleaning Department. and the whole
OF the Riverside district is patroled by them So
regularly are their tours of inspection made that
the jantors and other people who are violating
city ordinances have got into the habit of cleaning
UP before their visits. But sometimes the boys
make visits between times. the trick doesn't al
ways work. Any one who is found breaking the
law second time is fined.
