with swartzenhelmer and Mulligan as
wild animal trainers we thought we'd
make some tables and stools for the
animals to sit on, arranged in fancy
groups, as they are IN animal shows.
So ! hunted for lot Of spools and
we painted them all bright red with
red ink-though paint would have
done, If we hadn't had the ink, of
course. Those spools were splendid.
You can see the rninoceros posed on
some, If you look in the picture.
Next we made the benches out of
different size candy box covers. The
round box covers we painted and ar
ranged in pyramid shape. You can
see these, too, in the picture.
But the oblong box covers we cut
cut like real trained animal benches.
I'll make you a picture of it SO you
can see how easy 1t was TO do.
First, you take the candy box cover
and cut out a bit of the rim on each
side. leaving the corners for the legs
of the table. I have marked the pro-
cess in dotted lines on the box cover
/ have drawn.
Then we painted the benches or ta-
bles. The painting covered up the
print, you see.
You have really no idea how fine
the animal show was after all this.
Why could play with it forever
trained candy box animals. You ought
to make one like it and see what fun
it is.
Mulligan says that it's almost as
fine show as Bostock's, and 1 think
so, too.
Sometimes we have real perform
ances and the children who live near
me come and watch. You ought to
see their eyes pop out of their heads
the children, / mean-why, they
just thought it was most as good as
real show, If not better.
We've added quite a number Of ami
mails since we started. one at a time.
1t Is really wonderful that one can
buy so many different kinds Of candy
box animals so nicely. But l hunted
all about, and save up my money and
buy new ones whenever 1 can I've
got 10 now, not counting the three
chenille monkeys that 1 got at the
penny store on the corner near school
The animal show is such lots of
fun to make and play with that I
daresay you would like to make one,
too, so thought I'd tell you about it.
And if you want any trainers like
Muliigan or my Swartzenheimer, you
can find them at any candy store, too.

good. She bought one of each when I
told her about Mulligan's and Swartz-
enheimer's ambition. And we took
them all home, and then the show just
began.
The grown up friend helped me, too,
and Mulligan and Swartzenheime
stood around and bossed things-only
Swartzenheimer didn't stand; he Topped
because he was SO loose jointed.
First we made a round ring, because
we thought we'd have circus, but we
talked 1T all over and we decided that
anybody could have a circus, but that
we'd have an animal show. 1t would
have been a pity to cage all those
beasts for circus exhibit when they
coulf all do such fine tricksl
There was really no end to them.
The rhinoceros could stand with the
camel on his back and then Mulligan
could stand on the camePs- back, hold
ing his head in the polar bears mouth
while the polar bear sat on the camel.
Why, it looked like real live animal
show, even though they were only
just candy box animals.

ize it; but 1T is old, il unusual Poets
make constant use of words not in

who read poetry are content not to

fed with a hazy notion of the meaning,
and get pleasure from the music Of the

usually insist on knowing the meaning
of it all.
Words are being lost from popular
use, and others are taking their places.
Many of the new ones are SO old that
they have been forgotten. 1t is this

dent made a part of our everyday
speech. Many. many educated persons
thought Mr.. Roosevelt invented it, and
some asked what 1t meant. 1t ought to
be almost -explanatory-an effemi-

used it, and others before him. Mr..

it common speech, but the two words

of all the derivatives OF a given word.

Words get into the ordinary speech
from the dictionary, or from some
where else, in many odd ways. Ten

A Vacation Day
IRMA ENGLISH


T was a perfect day in June. The
birds sang and the flowers were in
fun bloom. Clara, Mary. Ruth, Dor
o1hy, Lucille, Rob, Tom and Elmer
were members OF the good times club
which had for it's aim outings in vaca-
ton. This time the club had planned
picnic. The spot they had chosen was
the bank Of pretty stream not more
than half a mile away from home,
which the boys had seen while fishing.
They were so pleased with its de-
scription that they wanted TO spend a
day there, and the opportunity came
with vacation
AT o'clock wednesday morning
eight happy children set out for the
pretty stream, carrying fishing tackle
and boxes filled with picnic delicacies.
The road was shaded much of the
way, so they walked fast, so anxious
were they 10 reach the chosen spot
The birds sang merrily in the trees
and the skylark answered with his
hutelike notes from the boundless blue
Of heaven The butterflies fioated leis-
urely from bluebells 10 wild roses as
the children rested beneath the pine
trees at the end Of their journey.
Isn't il lovely here?r said Ruth put
ting her hand into the water TO catch a
small fish.
II is the incest place we have ever
been for a picnic" said Clara.
Lets wade right away" said Mary,
untying her shoe.
Yes. yes." said the other girls, fol-
lowing her example
The boys fshed up the stream, catch
ing speckled beauties, while the girls
waded. and the time passed too quickly
Soon the boys were seen wading down
the creek. II seemed like they had been
gone only few minutes. but it was
II o'clock
See what we have here" said Rob.

How many have you?" asked Dor

Ten"
Who caught them?"

two. Elmer and ! are going 10 cook
ours and Tom is going 10 take his to
his little brothers.
''oh, girls. come here cried Dorothy
Come and see the fish: The boys
caught them"
In turning TO come Lucille tripped
and fell into the water. They all ran
10 her assistance and Rob picked her
UP and carried her 10 the bank. She
had 10 sit in the sun on a rock while
her dress dried. but by the time lunch
was ready and her dress was dry and
the lunch table.
such a luncheon II was, Who cared
II there was no salt for the fish? No
one. for they had sandwiches. cakes
cookies, candy, pickles, oranges and all
sorts Of goodies. The novelty of fish
broiled over a camp fire was not
lessened by the lack of salt.
Luncheon over they climbed trees,
gathered wild flowers and ate wild ber-
ries. Dorothy with her kodak took pic
lures OF the children as souvenirs of the
casion.
They returned home at sunset. each
one satisfied with the pleasures OF the
day.

MY trained animal show began in
a very unexpected way with Multi
gan. He was a funny little Irish
man, and he came on top of piece of
chocolate as dinner favor at Thanks
giving.
Mulligan had a way of standing on
his head that was charming. He was
born circus performer from the first.
Then Swartzenheimer came to me. He
was rather foppy tointed doll, with
a black coat and trousers and a white
vest-and he came at Christmas.
Swartzenheimer was so very loose
Jointed that he, too, did beautiful
tricks. One of them was to stand on
all fours like a camel, with Mulligan
riding on his back, and that was fine.
So all of a sudden thought of hav-
ing a circus-only ! had no animals.

The weather was rather chilly but the
crowd lost sight of that fact IN their
enthusiasm.
The three Detroit players injured in
the game Thursday were back in the
game today, and the fans were pleased
to see Jones on the initial sack. Man.

to pitch again, and Adams, Pittsburg's s
young star, was up for the National

won two games in the series. Adams
defeated Mullin in the opening game,
but poor fielding behind the Detroit
twirler contributed to his defeat.
Adams again defeated Detroit in the
