A Coasting Experience
)ear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My happiest news and unhappiest
incident was on September 1S, my
birthday. 1 was happy TO think that
on that eVentful day 1 would receive
as birthday present a beautiful new
sled.
The snow was deep and hard, and
the coasting down the long, sloping
hill was delightful as we'll as exciting.
l waited patiently for the day, and at
last my patience was rewarded with
a beautiful new sled.
l fairly tumbled out of bed next
morning in my eagerneSS to be the
first one at the coastlng hill. With all
my haste there were two more ahead
of me. At the foot of the hill is a
railroad track and a train passes at 6
o'clock in the morning. I noticed that
the two boys did not go down, but
stood waiting for something.
"Well, I'm going down-come on"
said.
NO" replied Joe. "and you'd bet
ter not, either The o'clock limited
is due and you're liable to get run
over"
But I was impatient to try my new
sled, and so l paid no heed to this ad-
vice. 1 was soon speeding down the
hill, my pulse throbbing with excite
menC. AS Hedreu IHe looI L hSdhu a
low, rumbling noise. My face turned
white with fear. ''The train!"
Onward 1 shot like a meteor. AS
turned a curve 1 saw the train COM
ing. AS flew across the iron rail the
train loomed over me. The back part
of my sled was struck and L went fly
ing through space. Then all was
dark.
When 1 came to I was lying in a
bed and the doctor was saying, Hell
be all right. Just slight shock
that's ALL"
l lay back with a sigh of relief.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From NepI1ervS and Niece
DEATH CALLS BELOVED RULER
Mnnesota's Governor Is Lamented by
Entire Community
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IN HE saddest and most important
item of the Pioneer Press of
- st. Paul, Mimi, for September,
was the death of loved and esteemed
Governor Johnson, who will be
mourned over, not only in this state,
but almost the whole of the United
States and by all who came in daily
contact with him.
Governor Johnson was born and
raised in st. Peter, Mimi, and was
the only "native-born" governor Min
nesota ever had.
Thousands of people came to st
Peter ON trains, wagons and even by
foot to witness the burial, and the
streets were crowded Gas were the
windows, roofs and projections of all
kinds) with weeping friends and ac-
quaintance who wished to get a last
glimpse of the one who had once
walked their streets.
A proposal to erect a monument was
met with great enthusiasm and within
the first twenty-four hours $245 had
been sent in, but now the sum is over
$4,000, and continues to come, not
from their state only, but from all
even New York and California. Each
contribution is limited to one dollar,
although school children are allowed to
give their pennies.
'God has taken from us a prince and
a great man. But it was kind God
who endowed him with those qualities
of mind and heart which endeared him
to those he came in contact with And
who can say that God has not pecu-
liarly blessed us, as a people, that ne
gave to us this man and allowed MN
to tarry among us until divine pur-
pose was fulflled??'
This was taken from the eulogy OF
Johnson as given by Rev. Mr.. Clark OF
st. Paul. Many others spoke kind,
loving words of him, while some gave
words of consolation to his sorroWlng
widow and intimate friends
The city was draped in black, and
never was such a tribute paid to
Minnesotan and to but few OF the
nation. III.

DISCOVERING THE NORTH POLE
Many Nations Have Sent Men and
Expeditions Upon This Quest
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I THINK the discovery of the north
pole is the greatest event that has
Il happened in September.
I read in a paper that since the year
1900 SIS expeditions had been sent out
to find the north pole and sixty-one to
the south pole. Out of these, Great
Britain sent 107 north and % south,
Russia sent 1O5 to the north and to
the south, and, third, our own country,
the United States, with "a to the north
and II to the south.
Both DR.. Cook and Peary have toiled
long and hard to make this wonderful
discovery. 1t seems so strange that
two Americans should make the dis
covery nearly at the same time.
OF the two, like DR.. Cooks attitude
to Peary much better than Mr.. COOK
receives from Peary. But until each
gets his papers and records OF PROOF
[ think it is best to Judge not
also think, as the papers quote,
''There is glory enough for both"
In the death of Governor Johnson of
Minnesota the country has suffered
great loss, as he was in every way one
of the best men living. From poor
boy only IL years of age to be the sup
port of his mother, brothers and sisters,
working his way up through povc"ty
and hardship, he is worthy of all
praise. He was twice elected governor
of his state. Had he not died he would
have been a candidate for president in
1912 I should like also to mention the
celebration just held in New York of
the Fulton-Hudson anniversary 1t IS
100 years since Robert Fulton first tried
his boat, the Clermont. 1t was so lit
tie believed in that the people called
it Fulton's Folly. Three hundred years
since Henry Hudson discovered the
Hudson river. The celebration lasted
two weeks.

closely how they did the things be-
cause Aunt Ellen said that it would
be nice to tell you about it in my
letter.
We saw them cooking hot cakes and
some nice chops and L thought it very
wonderful. Then the parade started
SO we saw everything without being
crowded, we enjoyed it very much.
I had a pleasant visit from Junior
this week. Irene Tanner came to see
me and 1 returned her call this after
noon and enjoyed myself very much
as she took me through her papa's green
house and nursery. 1 saw many pref
ty flowers and beautiful ferns, and we
had a nice game of checkers.
I remained for afternoon tea and
had a delightful time.
Miss Long, my teacher, gave me
permission to write on the board ask
ing if there were any Juniors in my
room. also read my story aloud and
wrote my letter on the blackboard.

FOOTBALL MUST HAVE.
A DISTINCTIVE BADGE
Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
HHE most important news that L
can remember is when school
u opened. We boys first formed a
baseball club and after a while we
started playing football. We needed
sweaters to represent our school and
decided they should be blue, with a
large initial letter for the name
"Boyd." How we should get them
was the question.
'I guess we will all have to rake
up some money" said Frank at last
That's about the only way" l re-
piled, 1--WE all ought to have them
"Well," spoke Fred, I'VE can't talk
about that now it's time we started
playing"
We paid full attention to starting
a game of football then. We insisted
upon Fred being captain of the eleven
and so he was elected. All the boys
came together and we picked the best
ones from the crowd for the school
team. The others got together and
made a scrub team, to practice with
us.
The game was on and it would take
a great deal of time to tell the results
| will only say one thing concerning
it and that is the score, it was ten
to five in our favor.
We went off the field victorious, and
that evening the talk about the sweat
ers came up once more. 1t was agreed
after a while that all the sweaters
need not be blue but any color with
the letter b on it.
The boys nearly all had different
color sweaters and we were fixed pref
ty well. Your nephew,

STEEL CONSTRUCTION
FAILS TO RESIST FLAMES
Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IT 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon OF
n September rs last, large build
IA ing. the Stirling Stamp COM
many. on Liberty avenue in Pittsburg,
Pa. caught fire.
The origin of the fire is not definite
lv known, but it is supposed to have
caught from a hot rivet coming in
contact with some tar weatherprooting
on the fourth floor Of new bank
building which is being built next door
to the stamp company.
No one was hurt seriously, although
a great many narrowly escaped being
killed The fire spread very rapidly,
so that when the first fire engine ar
rived the wall between the bank
building and the stamp company was
a mass of flames from top to bottom.
For a time the occupants of other
buildings near had quite scare. the
firemen had broken open a WINDOW
SO that they could get into the build
ing. and the draft carried some paper
which was on fire across the street.
1t was thought that other buildings
would catch, but fortunately the burn
ing paper was eXtinguished before 1T
aIighted. The contents of several
buildings near were slightly damaged
by smoke.
The steel construction work of the
new bank building was damaged to
the extent of about 100000 The total
loss on all buildings is about 100000.
