BE KIND TO YOUR PENCIL

1 wonder how you'd feel if you were
a pencil-a nice, conscientious pencil
and somebody was writing with you?
Suppose you were rather a fussy PEN
ell, who had always belonged to d
nice, particular old gentleman. who
knew all about spelling and punctua-
ton, and suppose he lent you to his
granddaughter and she made you write
all sorts of ridiculous things, with queer
spelling, wouldn't it make you shud-
der? l believe that is why slate PEN
ellis Shrek so dreadfully. They are al
most always used by children, and of
course children don't know how to
write and spell properly, so the poor
dear conscientious pencils have a ter
rible time. So this is a plea to you,
children, to be humane to your pencils,
and not chew them into stubby points,
or such long ones that they break off,
and not make them spell badly and
not make them write ridiculous non
sense.

TIME owner of the Walking
Stick and the Gun had gone
Il away on a long visit and left
them in a dark, dull, stuffy room
with nothing to see or do.
"It's too bad" said the Gun.
Here l am getting quite stiff
and rusty, and l have almost for
gotten what gunpowder smells

me off"
"My case is worse than yours, "
said the Walking Stick, "for l
am perfectly certain l am suffer
ing from dry rot, complaint
quite common in Our family and
which only fresh air and exercise
can prevent. Pretty soon ex-
pect to crumble up and fall to
pieces when any one tries to
walk with me. And then they
might get bad tumble, for
which | shouldn't be sorry"
At this moment a maid came
into the room, raised the shades
and opened the windows, letting
in a delightful breeze.
"Ahw said the Gun, chat
gives one new life. I begin to
feel like my old self again"
EYES," replied the Stick, but
it makes. me long to go out and
get a little exercise. Suppose we
get out of the window and take
a walk?"

"Whatl A great big gun like

and afraid to go out for walk 2!
Well, I'm going anyway" said
Mr.. Stick. And out of the win
dow he hoped. Mr.. Gun, who
did not like to be left behind,
quickly followed him.
Soon they came to a field on
the edge of the wood, in which
lived number of rabbits, and
two of these little rabbits caught
sight of Mr.. Gun and Mr.. Stick
walking across the meadow.
Keep quiet" said one of them,

UNFINISHED STORIES

IN 1IEHE NdS OllNC d iiltlN Sili
named Kate who was so
a fortunate as to have fairy
godmother. Every time when
her birthday was approaching
she wrote to the fairy godmother
and told her what she wanted,
and the fairy always sent it to
her by the very next post,
But one year she thought she
would be extra polite, so instead
of telling her fairy godmother
what she wanted she wrote;
Dear Fairy Godmother, you
choose for me. I'm sure you
would know what is best" and
similar polite sentences.
Having dispatched this letter,
she waited with impatience for
the gift to arrive.
"Perhaps it will be a doll
house." she thought, cor a pony.
| would just love a pony
But when, on her birthday, the
rostman handed her a small,
square box, addressed in her god
mothers handwriting, she really
began to wish she hadn't been so
polite, because it could never
contain a pony.
"Perhaps," she thought to her
self, as she carried it upstairs,
perhaps it's some jewels. A dia-
mond necklace or crown or
something like that"
With fingers that trembled
with excitement Kate unfastened
the hook. The lid of the box flew
back and disclosed-not pony,
not a doll house, not even some
jewels, but just a plain, ordinary
jack-in-the-boX.
Poor Kate was SO disappointed
she was ready to cry. She felt
she was much too old for a jack
in-the-box, and she was just
about to put him away on the top
shelf in the closet when, to her
great astonishment, the Jack-in-
the-box turned his head and said:
"Many happy returns of the
day. 49,,
"Why-why-can you talk?'
gasped Kate.
Cornplete this story. Tell what con-
versation Kate and the jack-in-the-box
had, what effect it had upon Kate and
what events followed the course OF
their conversation.
One prize, a handsome book, will be
given for the best story, or the Win
ner nay choose the alternative prize
instead.
Write from 15O to 800 words on one
side of the paper, leaving margin at
the top and side of each page. Ad-
dress the letters neatly to Aunt Laurie,
Los Angeles Herald, Los Angeles.
Cal, and be sure that it reaches this
office not later than Thursday, Janu-
airy 49, for publication January 23.
