matte poet and writer of England who
had lived many years ago.
Several souvenirs of Shakespeare s
residence were still to be seen, among
them an old-fashioned arm chair
William Shakespeare was very noted
poet and writer, and Mary, Jessie and
Carl felt very proud to think that they
had visited his home.
Before leaving Stratford-on-Avon
Mr.. Hopkins bought each of the chill

THE wALRus' DEFENsEs

A full-grown walrus will weigh as
much as 1000 pounds-a mountainous
mass of muscle and blubber He is
armed with tusks of ivory, sometimes
two feet in length, and when from his
upreared bulk these formidable weap-
ons are plunged downward upon an
enemy, they are as resistless as the
drop of a guillotine. Such a thick
layer of blubber lies under the skin
that he is practically clad in an armor
impervious to teeth and claws alike.
So, unless the bear is greatly favored
by luck he has little chance to over
throw his antagonist-St. Nicholas.

on, thinking every minute that the
ferns were just a little farther on,
so we kept on going till the sun was
going down in the west.
We went a little farther, when my
brother called me to him. He had
found the ferns. They were so large
that we stood amazed for a minute.
When we had about all we could carry
my brother said, Lets go home"
So we started, but we did not know
which way to go. Then we began to
cry When we heard a rustling in
the leaves it scared us very much.
In a minute we were very glad, for it
was our own father who had come out

Rescued from Rock

Dear Aunt Laurie:
AS l was walking on a lonely beach
1 was picking up shells when I saw
something glittering on a large rock.
Like all children 1 went out on that
rock to get a shell. I did not notice
the water coming around me. When 1
saw it 1 knew it was no use to try to
get off because I could not swim. A
fisherman rescued me.

accident happened. They were trailing

and were just entering Jersey City
when they approached dozen boys

street.
After the trolley car had passed the
boy, they darted across the street, in

crossed the tracks safely except one
lad of about twelve years, who slipped
and fell on the track.
MIR. Malros, who was at the wheel,
saw that quick action was necessary

turned the wheel far to port and the
machine shot over on the other track

But coming toward them on the other
