THE TEDDY BEARS.

These Teddy Bears are going to
start to Africa tomorrow. They live
at the capital of the United States
with Roosevelt.
Roosevelt and his son, Kermit, are
going to Africa, too. They are going
to go on a bear AUNT. The seven Ted
dy bears are not going to let Roose-
welt know that they are going to
Africa.
They are going to slip off. They
are going to go before Roosevelt goes
and meet him when he gets there.
Roosevelt is a very fine shot. Now
it is time for them to start.
They have slipped away from home
and are their way to Africa.
They have been on the train one
day and it is time for Roosevelt and
his son, Kermit, to start
The Teddy bears nad good luck and
got there one day before Roosevelt
did. Tie next day they went to the
depot to meet him, and sure enough
there he and his son, Kermit, came
out of the car with their guns, but
did not know the Teddy bears until
they shot five of them. The other
two ran toward him and got close
enough to him so that he could tell
that they were his pet bears that he
thought were at home, but were not.

THE CANDIDATES OF 1896.

I have chosen for ny subject the
two candidates for the presidency of
1896. Their names are John Adams,
the Federalist candidate, and Thomas
Jefferson, the candidate Of the Demo
c-Repuplican party.
John Adams received the highest
number of votes and became presi-
dent. Jefferson received the next high
est number and became vice presi-
dent.
Adams was born at Braintree, Mass.
He graduated from Harvard college.
He was married to A gail Smith. His
attention was attracted to politics by
the passing of the Stamp Act His
death was mourned on the 4th of July,
2h. and 1t was caused by a natural
decline.
Thomas Jefferson was born in Albs-
marie county, Virginia, 1743. He at
tended William and M.ry college. He
married widow, Martha Shelton, a
beautiful young woman.
Jefferson was noted for his disap-
prevail of slavery. Many of his later
years were devoted to the founding of
the University Of Virginia
Two things Adams and he have in
common are that they both died on
the Fourth of July in the same year,
1926, and they both signed the Declar-
alton Of Independence.

not one was so small, so Marie was to
be the baby of the grade. So said
the pretty fair-haired teacher, who
came down the aisle to greet Marie's
mamma and make Marie's acquaint-
ance.
What little deari" exclaimed
teacher, STOPPING to put her arm about
the little stranger. And We'll become
the greatest friends, on't we dear?'
And Marie, so happy, smiled and said:
"Yes'm, We'll be very good frien's, in
deed" (AlthoGgh Marie was years
old there were few words she could
not pronounce very easily. And
friends was one of then.)
Then the teacher and the mamma
had little private talk while Marie
arranged hel books and slate and pen
ellis and sponge and writing pens in
tho dearest little desk that had been
assigned her by teacher. Oh, what q
joy to have desk for her very own
to remain here till she should learn
so much that she would be promoted
to another room, where the desks were
bigger Marie was very proud that
morning, too and extremely happy.
Then mamma kissed Marie goodby
and went home, telling Marie that she
must not stop to play when school was
dismissed ior the noon hour, but 70
hurry home for her luncheon. And
again Marie left very proud to think
that her mamma has going to allow
her t. go to and from the big school
house alone. She was, indeed, becom-
ing big girl to be allowed SO much
liberty.
Then the school wat called to or
der and teacher talked so sweetly to
the little ones assembled about her.
And what a lovely lot of girls and
boys they were, Marie thought as she
looked all about the room. When the
teacher said they'd sing a song Ma
RE was glad, for she loved to sing, and
her clear voice ran out louder than
an of the others when a song was
sung that she liked

A BRAVE boy.

Andy Moore was short stout little
country lad with a freckled face and
rough brown hands. Sometimes he
wore cap and som2 times he did not
He thought that his long hair was
good enough.
His home was in very wild rocky
country. He knew more about beav-
ers, snakes, birds and bird eggs than
he did about school or books.
The house in which ne lived was a
rough shanty on the side of a hill. 1t
was built of logs and mud and had
square holes for windows. There was
nothing very pleasant about it but it
was the only home that he ever had
and it pleased him very well. In the
valley little way below the house
there was railroad track and Andy
often watched the black engine as 1t
came putting past, throwing great
clouds of steam, and smoke.
Although the train went by the
house every day yet he never wished
to ride in the cars. He liked to stand
against the big banks and watch the
train disappear in the distance, leay-
ing clouds of smoke behind
One day as Andy happened to be
crossing the track he saw that there
was something wrong with it. He
had heard of the cars being wrecked
and people being killed by such
things. Just then he heard a low
distant noise. The cars were coming
and they would soon be there and he
was only little boy. But perhaps he
could stop them in some way. At
any rate he must try as there wasn't
anybody else there to do it. He ran
and stood in the middle of the track
and stretched out his arms and wait,
ed. The engineer whistled for Andy
to get off of the track. Andy might
have been made of stone for all the
notice he took of it. The engine r
stopped and asked him what he meant
by standing on the track, but when
Andy pointed to the broken rail the
man saw how the brave little fellow
had saved the train and the lives of

Marie's First
Day at School

"Come, dearie, jump on as quickly
as you can. This is to be your first
day at school, and it's almost o'clock
now. Come, open your blue eyes wide
and don't let that old monster, Lazi-
ness, get a nip at you
1t was little Marie's mamma, who
was calling her from her mornings
sleep And Marie, rubbing her eyes,
remembered that the day just begun
was to be one full of interest for her
for she was to start to school that
morning. And Marie had never been
in any sort of school before. Her par
ents had thought it best to keep her
out OF the Kindergarten, as she was
not very rugged, and they wished her
to be out of doors as much as pos
sible, where she'd grow strong and
healthy
But. during the summer Marie had
mad a birthday, and she was now 6
years old. But she was very little
miss for her years and as there were
no other children in her home she was
still her mammals baby and her papas
only pet.
And so they had moved from the
have the advantages Of school due a
little miss Of 6. And such lovely books
she had, too, and a slate and long,
sharp pencil. Oh Marie had gone into
ecstacy the Saturday before, when her
mamma had brought to her the fine
book and slate-satchel so filed with all
necessary school things. There was a
sponge, too, with which to wash her
slate. And a dear little box which
held her slate pencil, and another to
hold her two writing pens. Marie was
to become a great scholar, so papa de-
Clared And Marie was determined
not. to disappoint him.
las soon as breakfast was over
Marie's mamma took her to the school
house, which was several blocks away.
And when mamma led her into the
room where the primary grade' was
kept marie was gled 10 see it was
frilled with little boys and girls like
herself. Some wer' bit taller and
bit older, perhaps, and some We're
even much Younger than Marie. But
