Honorable Mention)

My dear Aunt Laurie:
TN HIS all took place in the school
ROOM Jessie was looking in her
Il desk for her geography. She got
hold of it and was just going to take II
out whem oh, dear! her pencil box fell
to the floor with a great racket. She
was frightened at what the teacher
might say, but to her surprise tae ne
teacher didn't seem to notice her so
she gathered together the miscellaneous
articles from the floor and replaced
them in their proper places.
She was surprised when, after smut
ting I'D the box, she was sure she
heard some talking. So little jessie
listened, and this is the conversation
that she heard through the cover OF
the pencil box:
ooh. dear!" and the pencil actually
sighed; IT would like to be left in peace
for a little while. 1t is so uncom-
Portable and disgusting to be handled
in the way which Jessie handles me.
If she is not writing or drawing with
me, she drops me on the floor or chews
me and makes ugly marks with her
teeth on my fine form. I'm really wor-
ried to think that she is spelling my
looks" Then the pencil paused, and
then added: "Yes, it's too bad about
me- Instead of making every day of
my life shorter, she makes me shorter
every day of my life by cutting me
with her sharp knife"
Jessie listened, and would you believe
it? she heard her writing pen laugh.
Him! Well! Ha, ha!' it began. You
certainly have many complaints. You
are only common and awkwardly
straight, so you need not be proud.
Just take a good look at me, and see
my fine looks. That's what 1 call grace
full. But to be dipped in nasty black
ink is more than I can bear"
Jessie listened attentively to all these
complaints, and not until the last oc-
cupant of the box had spoken did she
open it. When she looked at the arti-
cles in the pencil box nothing unusual
was visible. She always was careful
about using her things after that, and
she never forgot the conversation in
the pencil box. From your loving niece,
EDITH WALKER.

Who Spilled the Milk?

Dear Aunt Laurie:
"Oh, dear" siged Mrs. Russell. I'VE
won't have any milk for the pudding
this evening. Marie, did you spill the
milk on the kitchen table?''
mo, mother. 1 didn't even see the
milk. I wonder if kitty did it. saw
him ON the kitchen table this after
noon.'
Marie went out of the room. She
tried to play with her dolls, but not
even Emily, her favorite doll, looked
so pretty or amused her as she usual
ly did.
That night at dinner mother apollo
gized for not having milk for the pud-
ding, as 1t had been spilled.
Then the big boy, John, spoke up.
81 saw Marie in the kitchen by bot
tie of spilled milk. Marie, did you
spill it?"
Marie hung her head, but said moth
ing, though she grew very red in the
face.
"Did you spill it. Marie?" asked her
father.
YES" answered Marie, hanging her
head still lower.
Marie, you may 20 to bed for tell
ing a lie,'' said her mother, gravely.
Marie burst into tears and ran to
her mother, begging her to forgive her.
Mrs. Russell readily forgave her as
all mothers do but nevertheless made
her take the punishment.
Don't cry over split milk" said
her brother as Marie went off to bed.

in. He let out a cry of astonishment
and all the boys were dazed with sur
prise Before them was the boat with
a large hole in her side which could
not be repaired very easily.

There was a silence, followed by many
voices that cried Il know it was Ralph

"It must have been" answered
Frank 1--WE will see.''
Just then the door opened and in
stepped Ralph.

Hypo Poisons Horse

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Stanley, crippled boy of sixteen
and his sister, Hallena. were visiting
friends in the country
Stanley in his friends darkroom in
the stable was developing pictures.
Jeane and her chum Edna were out
playing tennis
Stanley soon became so interested
in his work that he did not hear Edna
and Jeane slip into the barn, whisper
ing and giggling He did hear lit
tie scream of alarm, but paid no atten-
tion to it.
At dinner DR.. Harrell said, gravely:
"Does anyone know who poisoned my
favorite horse, Pet2"
Everyone locked up in surprise ex-.
cept Jeane, who turned red and gave
Stanley a sharp look.
Dr. Harrell saw the look and said:
"Jeane, do you know who did it?'' For
reply Jeane gave Stanley another sharp
look, began crying and rushed from
the room.
Then she and her father had long
talk and she said that Stanley had
been the only one near the barn that
afternoon. That was all she knew
about it.
Stanley, too, said no one else had
entered the barn.
Seeing that they looked at him sus-
piciously he turned very red. DR.. Har-
rell thought he looked guilty and said
that he might as well own up. STAN

A True Ghost Story

Dear Aunt Laurie:
This is a true story about who
Did It?'' and 1 will say right now that
my grandmother did it when she was
young.
In western Kansas there was an old
schoolhouse which was separated from
the cemetery by high, thorny hedge,
near where grandmother lived.
The schoolboys had cut a hole
through the hedge to go through to
get the ball when it went over, but
new sprouts had hidden the hole from
view.
One evening there was to be q magic
lantern show at the schoolhouse, and
as the first wagonload of happy young
people came toward the building they
were Mortified to see a white ghost
move quickly along the hedge row and
disappear through the impenetrable Gas
they thought) fence into the cemetery.
Several of the more timid ones faint
ed, the show was abandoned and the
party went home.
This ghost story was prevalent
around the neighborhood for quite a
while, but grandma always smiled
when she heard it. She had been for
a walk and was taking a short cut
home across the school yard, and when
she heard the people coming she went
through the old hole in the edge and
went home across the fields.

The Adventure of the Hat
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Papa's hat is spoiled! We found it
in the hall by the stairs. Nobody had
seen it that morning. The hat is all
marked and dented. Papa was going
to lodge and he sent Mabel after his
hat.
She got the hat and handed it to
papa the way she found it. He was
so surprised he grabbed a chair to
keep from falling. His other hat had
fallen in the mud the day before, and
it was not cleaned yet. The clothing
stores We're all shut. He went to our
neighbor's house to see if Mr. Whites
hat would fit him.
1t did, so he borrowed it and went to
lodge. At lodge some one took his hat
and left theirs by mistake, but he wore
theirs home,- and gave Mr. White the
money for his hat. But the way his
old hat got spoiled is still a mystery
Did the cat or dog do it? No, because
they were not in the house today.
Waltz l have solved the mystery.
The wind had blown papa's hat down.

No animal or person is guilty. Papa
has bought a new hat now, SO every
thing is straight. Yours sincerely

"Well, it is not visible"
Sally brought some more sugar
Who could have taken the sugar?
None of the children could, for they
were gone away, all but Ned and Tom,
and they did not like sugar.
who did it?" asked everybody.
There was a silence, Then Ned and
Tom began to laugh and cried: Polly
did it; Polly did it,"
Then everybody began to laugh.
Ned and Tom never cleaned the cage
in the dining room again, for they
could feel the result.

Papa ran out there to see what was
the matter with him. When he got
there he saw that Mark had a weasel
about a foot long so it was the
weasel instead of the cat that did it.
Mark was always our favorite cat
and we didn't want to give him away.
Papa said we could keep him and
he is still our favOrite.

A Ruined Boat
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Frank, Joe and John had just fin
ished making rowboat, and were go
ing to invite some boys to ride in it
the next day down at the beach. The
boys they invited were Ross jake and
Ralph. All six of these boys belonged
to the baseball team of their school.
The next day was Saturday. Frank
was the leader and he brought all the
boys together the evening before.
Boys" said Frank, as they all came
together, "If this boat is a success we
can start boat club; who's with me?"
Me, me-" came from all the boys
except one-that was Ralph. When
the boys asked him why he didn't want
to join, he said: "Oh, don't want to
go in with anybody"
aren't you going to ride with us
tomorrow" asked Frank
"Oh, / don't want to ride" replied
Ralph, angrily, 81 am on a baseball
team, not yours, though, and 1 have
to play tomorrow"
Alright, good by" said Frank as
they left the barn.
Ralph went off looking very angry
indeed, and the boys felt like whipping
him for playing traitor, but Frank
would not let anybody bother him. So
they all departed and went to their
homes and We're soon dreaming of the
morrow,
The next morning Frank called all
the boys and they started for the barn.
