tured to make an attempt at 1t, this
being the first one / ever tried.
Teddy was walking down narrow
street, with birds singing everywhere,
when he saw a house with sign over
the door, "This is the house that Jack
built" There was a huge knocker
hanging over the door and he man
aged to reach it after many struggles
To his knock came a little, old man.
When Teddy told him VINO he was Jack
was overcome with joy and took him
through the house, and he saw the
malt and all the things which all chill
dren know are in Jacks house.
He then started out and met an old
lady who was just getting on a goose
to go and sweep the cobWebs Off the
sky. OF course, all children know TINS
was Mother Goose, the principal person
in Mother Goose land.
The next persons Teddy met were
Little Boy Blue and Little 30 Peep
with their sheep making their way TO-
ward the green meadows not far away.
Teddy would have spoken to them mad
not they looked so cross and sleepy
with their eyes half open.
AS he went around the turn he met
Simple Simon and the pie man in an
argument over a penny and a PIE.
1t was near dinner time and Ieddy
was getting hungry and managed TO
gel q penny out of his Jacket and bhy
some pie, of which he gave half to
Simple Simon who then took him
fishing to catch a whale, but none was
caught, the ocean being his mothers

Teddy finally met three men getting
ready for a trip upon the water in
tub. They asked him to come with
them and he gladly accepted. He was
watching the butcher, the baker ana
the candlestick maker, each busy with
his work, when. a large breaker came
and upset the tub, and Teddy awoke
with a start to find it had all been n

Saw Mother Hubbard's Dog

Dear Aunt Laurie:
81 wish 1 could visit Mother Goose
land and see all the queer people," said
Teddy The words were no sooner out
of his mouth than he found himself on
a strange island, for although Teddy
did not know it this was midsummer s
eve, and anyone who wished wish
could have it till midnight.
SO he was in Mother Gooses land as
he quickly found out, for before him
he saw a large house. At every window
were children peeping out and he
caught sight of an old woman flying
about distractedly.
He wandered on, eager to see more
strange sights, when he saw COW
Jump over the moon. Teddy ran after
her, as he wished to ask the cause of
this queer action, but his attention was
attracted by a loud scream. Looking
up he saw boy and girl with a water
pail tumbllng down the hill. He
stopped and picked them up, when he
noticed that the boy had broken his
head. AS a remedy for this he advised
brown paper and vinegar.
He then ran on to the next house and
looking in at the door he observed a

An Audience with Ruler

Dear Aunt Laurie;
Since Teddy had come to Mother
Goose Land he had seen many strange
things. OF course, he had to have a
guide, and Little Boy Blue, who was
the first person he met, volunteered to
act as one.
wouldn't you like to see Little Bo-
Peep and her SheepG" asked he. shes
one of my best friends here" and he
led the way to where Little Bo-Peep
and her Sheep were frolicking on the
grass. Boy Blue quickly made the
necessary introductions. asking Bo-
Peep to accompany them, which she
did, suggesting that they take Teddy
to see the famous dish and spoon. They
started off, and as they went along
they came upon a great COW, the one
who had jumped over the moon. She
Joined their party, and they soon came
to the dish and spoon. "This is the
wonderful DISH" said Boy Blue, "and
this is the equally wonderful spoon"
"And what would you like to see
next?" asked Bo-Peep. We'll" an
swered Ted, II would like to see the
Little Dog that laughed to see the fun.

and told his mother, and Teddy's s
mother gave him a whipping also.
She never gave Teddy a whipping
again. Soon school was out, and it was
Teddy's birthday. He was years old,
and he invited nine boys and got nine
presents. Soon Mother Goose came to
see his mother and told her to get out
of the land.
She said that she was going to Los
Angeles, and she went the next day to
see the Elks, and they had never seen
anything so beautiful in their lives.
They went to the beach and they went
in a boat and were drowned, and it
was the last anyone saw of Teddy and
his mother (No signature)

bare-looking cupboard and a dog near
it who seemed to be dead. Teddy felt
very sorry over this, for he had heard
a great deal about this wonderful dog
and admired him very much. But Just
then an old lady entered with coffin
and the dog at once sat up and began
to laugh.
Teddy then departed, glad that the
dog was alive. AS he walked along he
saw a great white bird flying toward
him, and on its back was Mother
Goose herself.
Every one Immediately ran to her
to welcome her Motioning Teddy to
come. she lifted him to the great bird S
back and they flew away to Teddy's
home. HAZEL ROBlNSON'

people to prove to you they are really
alive" said the visitor, who was really
the time-honored old lady. So saying
she touched Teddy gently on the arm
with q wand:
All after this was a blank to Teddy
until he came to himself in small
house with Mother Goose bending over
him. Hurry and get up" she said.
''all my people are waiting to see you
When Teddy finally got out, all the
people came at him with rush, but
Mother Goose put a stop to it by say
ing, "Come, come, my dears, 1 will in
troduce you all, in good time. ''Teddy
this is Red Riding Hood" and soon
Teddy had been made known to Beam
stalk Jack, Giantkiller Jack, Cinder-
ella, Beauty and the Beast, Queen of
Hearts, Peter Pumpkin Eater, Mr. and
Mrs. Sprat, Jack and Gill, and many
more of the dear old Mother Goose
people. But to his disappointment, just
as he was beginning to feel well ac-
quainted, Mother Goose told him it
was time to go home, and after bid
ding all "goodby" Teddy was touched
again with the wand and soon he
found himself sitting in the armchair
at home by the fire wondering If 1T
was all a dream. Your niece,

and then-ah--why-do you ever let
any one see Mother Goose herself?D
Every seldom, very seldom indeed"
said Boy Blue and Bo-Peep together,
while the COW gravely shook her head,
and the sheep bleated knowingly.
However" said Boy Blue, "Tll do
what [ can. 1t isn't often / request
anything. and perhaps they will grant
this. Bo-Peep, you take Teddy to see
the dog while see what 1 can do"
While Teddy was admiring the lit
tie dogs tricks, Boy Blue gained per-
mission to take his party to Mother
Goose's private office, where she sat
in state. She greeted Teddy kindly
answered his many questions regarding
her strange life, and even showed him
the wonderful broom which she had
ridden through the air sweeping the
skies.
Ted soon left for home, thinking he
had had q very pleasant visit.

Frightened Mother Away
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once there was a little boy who had
a Mother Goose book. His big sister
would read it to him when she had
time. One day she read him a story
of Teddie's experience in Mother Goose's
/ nd.
Teddie lived in a big shoe. His papa
and mamma lived with him. His
brother went to school and boarded
there. When his vacation came they all
went to the country with him, as there
was not enough room in the shoe for
them all.
When he was there about month he
knew the names of all the fowl and
animals. One day he and some other
Teddes dressed up like mother geese
and then they went into his parents
house while she was gone out.
They trimmed it in geese feathers
and then sat on the tables and chairs.
When his mother came home she got
scared to see all the geese. So she ran
away and never was seen again, so the
Teddies lived alone the rest of their
lives

Proved They Really Lived

Dear Aunt Laurie:
"Of course these people never lived,
but l wish they had" remarked Teddy
to himself, as he looked over we'll
worn volume of Mother Goose one
rainy afternoon. Throwing the book
down he established himself in a
chair by the fire and was about asleep
when someone touched him on the
shoulder. He looked up quickly.
"Why-ee, are you really Mother
Goose?" cried the astonishe- boy.
Eyes, 1 am really Mother Goose and
I have come to take you to see my

Goose and her cat ride the broom
stick. But most interesting was to
see the elephants shoot the shoots.
Then Teddy went over to the house
where Mother Goose lived. She was
just going to get her dog bone, but
when she got the cupboard open there
was only piece Of limburger cheese,
so the poor dog had to eat limburgef
cheese. Sincerely yours,

Teddy,s Disaster
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Teddy had a good time in Mother
Gooses land. He saw fine pig.
Teddy watched a dog and raccoon
one day. They were fighting together.
The raccoon was caught in a. trap and
lost its tail and was killed. But Teddy
kept laughing and watching them.
Teddy went to a play school, and he
would not mind the teacher so the
teacher sent him away from school.
The next day Teddy was at school
again, and the teacher was very angry
and took him to Mother Goose, and she
whipped him hard and sent him home,

Escaped a Whipping

Dear Aunt Laurie;
Teddy was a little boy years of
age, and was like all little boys. He
liked to play hard during the day, but
when bedtime came he was pretty
sleepy. He would not so to sleep un-
til his grandma read Mother Goose to
him for a while.
The evening on which our story
opens he was nearly asleep, but lie
wanted "Humpty Dumpty" read first.
So his grandma read to him the old
familiar rhyme. When she finished
she looked up and saw that Teddy had
fallen asleep. She picked him up, laid
him in his bed and tiptoed softly out
of the room.
When Teddy woke up he got up and
looked around and found himself out
in the open, in a meadow by a road
After he had been walking for about
five minutes he began to hear
strange sound like the noise the big
saw at the sawmill made. The noise
seemed to come from around bend
i'll the road ahead and Teddy ran to
see what it was. There, about fifteen
yards down the road, perched on the
top of a brick wall, was the funniest
looking creature he ever saw, sitting
up on that brick wall fast asleep and
snoring Justify. Teddy thought that
he had seen a likeness to him some-
where, when all of a sudden it came
to him that this was "Humpty
Dumpty."
"Humpty Dumpty" now began to
sway. back and forth and with every
sway. Teddy thought he would fall
and all of sudden he did fall with a
crash. Teddy ran up to him, but saw
that he was dead, so continued his
walk up the road. When he looked
20 md
horses trying to put 'Humpty Dump
ty" together again.
Presently he heard a rush of wings
above and looking up saw an old lady
sitting on the back of a gander flying
through the air. They lighted few
feet in front of Teddy and he asked
the old lady where he was. She told
him that he was in Mother Goose's
land and flew off.
He had not gone very far when all
of a sudden he heard a Shrek.
Teddy ran to see what was the mat
ter and saw the prettiest little maiden
sitting under the tree with bowl in
her hand and a mean looking spider
above her
Teddy grabbed up a stick and
knocked the spider down on the
ground and then stepped on it. She
thanked MIN and he continued his
walk.
He passed the haycocl1 and saw a
little boy dressed in blue with a horn
lying beside him; he also passed a
lake where he saw three men out in
a tub
He soon came to the funniest look
ing house he ever saw. 1t was in the
shape of a shoe, there was a crowd of
children running about and an old
woman with a stick running after
them. When she saw Teddy she ran
up to him and was about to strike
him with The stick when he woke up.
