to make friends with them After
while the teacher, Miss Lotion, took
my name on a. piece of paper and
mamma and went home. School didn't
seem to be such an awful place after
all. But when the next day came l
was still too bashful to go alone. In
this school I had two teachers, Miss
Mosgrove and Miss Lotion, and after
got acquainted with the boys and girls
l didn't mind il at all.
Just about this time we moved, so
l had to go to the Grand avenue school,
where Miss Henderson is the principal
She was the most intelligent and
excellent teacher I have ever known
and everyone liked her. AT that time
1 had such a mania for bells. l wanted
to know all about them and to be al
lowed to ring the bell 1 thought was
the highest honor. She would let me
ring it at recess time, and nothing
pleased me more.
1 was taught to make little baskets
and many beautiful boxes, some of
which mamma has yet. There was a
large box filled with sand and we used
to play in that.
After while 1 passed into the first
grade and felt very important to be
out of the kindergarten. 1 went to the
Grand avenue school about five years
and all my teachers were nice to me
except one, who threatened to shake
me if 1 did not learn to make raffia
baskets. 1 didn't like her, but l have
long ago forgiven her, for 1 didn't
think she understood children as well
as the other teachers did.
We moved next to South Bonnie Brae
street where I went to the Union ave-
nue. school. and from there to East
Twenty-third street. My present
school is Twentieth street and 1 expect
to finish this year.
Looking back to those little kinder
garten days 1 realize how much all my
teachers have done for me. 1 do not
believe teachers just understand how
we feel toward them. If they are
kind, how we love them, and never for
get many little things which they, no
doubt have long since forgotten.

flock of birds filed the air with their
gladness, and 1 really felt as If they
were welcomeing me to their fafrylike
home.
Then, very, very family, the sweetest
of voices whispered to me, "Would you
like to learn the languages of the birds
and flowers?" ooh, yes, indeed; 1
would just love to-" said 1. Presently
I saw my late acquaintance was dear
little fairy whose name was Tinklebell,
but was generally known to nature as
Mother Natures Helper.
1 went with Tinklebell to her home,
which was in a tree, and there l en-
ioyed the most interesting hour of my
life, listening carefully to Tinklebelis
teachings l was surprised to learn
that the birds and flowers really nave
languages of their own. / thanked
Tinklebell very much and accepted her
invitation to make her another visit.
On my way home things seemed
more beautiful to me than before be-
cause l had gained knowledge OF some
of natures beings.
When auntie asked me If l mad a
good time, | told her, Yes, indeed
but did not tell her any of my secrets
because they were intrusted to me oy
Tinklebell. I hope you will all ENJOY
the hot day as much as l did, or at
least imagine so. Your loving niece

PLAYED WITH A FAIRY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One very warm morning, while visit
ing my auntie in the country, / ex-
pressed my desire to take my lunch
and go to the orchards, where 1 could
imagine myself queen of all I survey
for one day. The hot sun had a
dreamy, lazy effect on me, so as /
walked along l half wondered at what
l saw.
Presently, as I walked in the prettiest
shaded part of the wood, 1 felt myself
entranced as 1 noticed a most exquisite
perfume fill the air. At first the per-
fume was elusive until l saw lovely
vine of honeysuckles.

TIDAL WAVE DIDN'T COME

Dear Aunt Laurie:
"Oh! how hot it is" said everyone
we met AS we trudged along to school
we did not think this was going to
be an important day. We could not
study when we did get to school, so
were no better off than if we hadn't
come. About o'clock there was a
slight earthquake shock so we We're
let of school. Some of the plaster fell
in at the high school,
The people said there was to be a
tidal wave We were all very much
frightened. Papa was a transfer man
then. That afternoon he was hauling
a load to the dump. We packed up
a few things and were going to go
with him. Mamma couldn't find my
brother and was very much worried.
AS the hours passed and no tidal
wave came we could breathe more
freely. That night it was very hot, but
we did not mind that as long as the
tidal wave stayed in the ocean. Your

BRAVE DOG SAVES BABY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
This l. how passed the hottest day
this summer.
We were all in bathing and the sun
was beating down, but the water was
cool Our dog Rex was swimming in
on the waves, wagging his tail and
apparently very happy When he
pricked up his ears we all did so, too,
for a small rowboat had capsized near
IL and several persons were in the
water
Rex swan swiftly out and soon we
saw him near the victims, who were
struggling in the water
He paused between the two nearest
for a moment and then swan swiftly
to shore with a baby, its clothing in
his mouth.
We all hurried to shore and began
trying to do what we could for the
baby.

DOES HIS WORK EARLY

Dear Aunt L-urie:
AS to how I passed the hottest sum
mer days-I don't find it at all diff
cult. This vacation 1 have great
many lawns to care for, so I begin my
work in the cool of the morning and
am through by time the heat of the
day arrives.
During my resting period 1 read in
my cool porch, shaded with honey
suckle vines.
My next door neighbor has peach
tree full of peaches, and as mine are
not ripe yet, / have the privilege of
getting all l want and find nothing
better than peaches and cream for a
hot days luncheon
In my back yard there are kale
trees, which make excellent green food

work in the cool of the morning ne
would not grumble so at the warm
weather, because he would appreciate
his rest. RUSSELL WRIISMAN'

Output for the Year Likely to show n I'D
Per cent. Reduction From 1909

BosroS. Nov i2.-The Calumet and
Hecla company has produced an average
this year of 8,OOO.0 OO pounds Of copper a
month The reduced output in Septem-
her. a little over 5.OooOOO pounds. was
due to interruption of hosting facilities.
The October production was well up tn
normal. II is apparent that the output
for the year 1910 will be very close to
:, OOO. 900 pounds. which will represent
"A reduction Of about 10 per cent. from the
output OF 1909.
The conspicuous feature Of Calumet
and Hecla's opera lions of late years ha ;
been abe persistent decline in the mineral
contents of the conglomerate vein. The
average recovery from this lode has
fallen to 81 pounds per ton. figure
W hich compares with SO % pounds only
zen years ago. Applied 10 the present
rock treatment Of 2.COO.OOO tons per an
mum. this reduction in copper yield of
~, pounds per ton represents loss in
annual output of no less than 5000. n"0
pounds of copper worth on i3 cent

on Calumet's 1000 shares.
Tn. operations on the O-ceola lode are
Compeusating in some degree for the de-
