WHAT NEWS


10 you think much of the news as
II is published in the papers each
day? Do you always read the
front page articles at least. and see
what big events are taking place in the
outside world?
think it is part of the education Of
each boy and girl to know about the
principal events which happen, and for
that purpose am going to have a short
review or news events at intervals
throughout the winter. The men and
women of great achievement, the i'm
portant discoveries, inventions and
great political moves are all items
which should interest the wide awake
boys and girls of The Herald Junior. 7
want these events to furnish matter
for many letters this week. and hone
that every boy and girl in my big cir
Gle OF clever Juniors will take pleasure
in writing to me of some item of i'm
portance which has occurred in the
present month.
Inc topic ought to be a particularly
good one this time, for there have been
two great events within the past four
weeks which have become matter of
international Importance.
There are smaller matters, too, manv
of which will seem to the Younger writ
ers of great interest, and these are
quite as apt to win the prize as the
more important news stories. In fact,
the prize winning letters will be the
ones in which the news seems most
important, from the writer's view
point, regardless of its interest to the
world in general.
The affairs in your own town may
serve as subjects for your letter, and
any dedication of buildings, important
election or other political move, or the
death of some man of national renown
or Importance may be used as the basis
of your letter. l do not want descrip-
tions of murders or suicides, and want
no scanda!Ous news Of any sort.
1t is not we'll for the Junior boys and
girls to read such things, and for one
wish to do all in my power to discour-
age the printing of such matter to any
greater extent than the actual news
value gives it claim for space. The
Herald uses very little news of the
sort and tries to present clean, inter-
estng news.
One of the Junior girls has shown
beautiful spirit of generosity this
week in offering her right TO a beach
trip to a little friend to whom fortune
has been rather niggardly in making
gifts.
This girl also gave her first prize
money last winter to the Christmas
dinner for poor children which The
Herald gave. This thoughtfulness for
others is one of the most beautiful
characteristics of girlhood, and When 1t
develops at this early period promises
considerate and delightful womanhood
Another delightful day at Redondo
marked this last week. These eXcur-
sions will be continued twice a month
while the weather remains SO warm
With love to all the Juniors,

ONCE in the long ago when
I men were still rough and
uncivilized and so ignorant
as to believe that there really
were such things as witches, a
little boy and girl lived in great
castle on the edge of a deep for
est.
Now, one sunny day, Rufus
and Editha stood in a high tow
er of the castle overlooking the
wood. The boy suddenly said :
Sister, let us adventure forth
in search of this witch-wife, who
dwells therein. If she be as evil
as men say, it is time the woods
were rid of her, and this l will
do with my trusty sword or bow.
If we find her in the daylight, her
magic cannot work against us,
and we will take good care to
come home before the set of sun.
What say you?"
Editha was at first very much
frightened at the thought, but
Rufus took his bow and arrows
and buckled on his sword and
looked SO brave and fearless that
she at length took heart and CON
sented to follow him.
so we go forth like gallant
knights to rid the people of this
terrible witch, if terrible she be!'
he cried merrily, and they stole
away to the woodland gloom. By
and by they went SO far into the
dense woods that no sunlight
Aickers were to be seen any long
er, and things looked dull and
dreary. Editha began to be
afraid and pleaded with her
brother to return. At last even
he thought they had gone far

enough, but when he looked for
a familiar path to take back he
could not find it. Night began
to come on and a few drops of
rain to fall.
Now Editha's tears came in
good earnest, and Rufus felt like
crying himself, but he knew this
would never do. The rain and
darkness increased and both chill
dren thoroughly repented their
naughtiness in running off. At
last their path ended in a sort Of
clearing and here stood a little
house, very CHEEKY with light
streaming from the window, and
nearby a great fire of faggots,
over which was swung a big,
black pot, with savory odor
arising from it. A slender girl
was leaning above it stirring, and
singing little song. Both chill
dren shrieked with fear, crying {:
