two weeks above them They lived
but about 80 yards from the river So
the river was awful full of water when
their folks left that morning, but they
had been waiting about three weeks
to go to town, as they hadn't very
much to eat. Their closest neigh
bors lived IL miles from their
home, so the children had their
chores done by o'clock and they got
to their neighbors before the river got
to their house. Of course the neigh.
boris house was ways from the
river. The children carried all the
things they could up in the attic so
wouldn't get the things wet
The children were safe from the
river when they reached their neigh
boris home. Their neighbours had
family of four children, two sons ana
two daughters. Leo, age 10 and
LOOMS age rs, and Leota, age ID and
Leola. age %. Their children all
went to school but Louis. Their
school house was between the neigh
boris house and Durby's house. The
neighbours names were Adam. The
two families were very friendly 10
each other. They were also very
much company to each other. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Durby came home from
town at 11:2 p. M, they had to come
to Mr.. Adams to get home, so they
stopped there and found their chill
dren safe from the water All of
Durbys had to stay at Adams that
night and about another week, until
the river went down. The water
washed Mr.. Durbys ho.-Te away out
in their field so they had to build
them new home and it was very
pretty indeed. They had six carpen-
tiers working on tleir house. They
put up tent in the pasture field
and lived in it until they got their
pretty house built
AS my story is getting long 1 will
close for this time, wishing the Junior
much success.

The O1vl and
the Pussy Cat

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went 20
In beautiful pea-green boat;
They took some honey, and plenty OF
money
Wrapped up in flve-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the moon above.
And sang to small guitar,
20 lovely Pussy! o Pussy. my love.
What beautiful Pussy you are
you are.
What beautiful Pussy you are!'
Pussy said to the Owl, you elegant
fowl!
How wonderful sweet you sing!
oh, let US be married,-too long we
have tarried,-
But what shall we do for ring?
They sailed away for a year and a
day
To the land where the Bong tree
grows,
And there in the wood, a piggy-wig
stood
With ring in the end Of his nose.
his nose,
with ring in the end of his nose.
Dear Pig, you are willing to sell for
one shilling
Your ring?" Said the piggy, II
WILL
SO they took 1t away and were mar
ried next day
BY the turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined upon mince and slices of
ounce.
Which they ate with runcible
spoon.
And hand in hand on the edge Of the
sand
They danced by the light of the
moon,-the moon,
They danced by the light of the
moon.

Dear Juniors.

Dear Juniors:
l thought 1 would write a story
about Dora's Housekeeping.
One day Dora's mother was going
away to bring her grandma home for
a visit. Dora's mother said Il will let
you sweep the sitting room"
Dora was pouting because she
could not go with her mother So she
did not answer, but sat by the window
pouting. The carriage was gone. Then
she said to herself II don't feel like
sweeping. and don't care how do it.
! think it is too bad I can't go to
ride
So she swept the sitting room in a
very Needless manner. She did not get
the dust pan and take up the litter,
she only brushed it together and left it
under the hearth rug. When her moth
er came home she praised her for
making the room so neat. Grandma
praised her toof She said II like to see
children do their work well. Then
am sure they will do their work we'll
when they are grown up"
O, how Dora felt. She was ashamed
of what hse had done. The next morn
ing she was the first to awake She
found the dust pan and brushed up
the litter az clean as she could. Dora
remembered it for a Ion time

QUEEN OF NORWAY.

When the queen of Norway was
small she had many brothers and sis
tiers, and she had great many cous-
ms too. And when this little English
maid was old enough to be married
she married one of her cousins whose
name was Charles. He was very
nice boy. indeed. And after they were
married a little while everybody was
surprised to learn that Prince Charles
of Denmark was chosen to be king OF
Norway. And SO now she is the
queen of Norway. She treats the peo-
pie good and is good queen. And all
the people love her because she is
kind to them.

worms and grasshoppers and we put
rock in the tank for the fish to hide

dinner, so they went to pool and
washed their hands and then ate their
dinner
In the afternoon they fished and
caught quite few. They started home
a four o'clock. BY that time they had
four pounds of fish. When they got
