HOW MANY WORDS HAVE
YOU?

II AVE you any idea how many
words you have in your voca bu-
Ia larry? Whether hundreds. thou
sands or tens of thousands? Accord
ing to the best experts the man of
average education uses about 1000
words. Yet the dictionaries of today
contain between $4,000 to 800, 900 words.
Milton is said to have had a vocabu-
larry of 5000 words, and Shakespeare
$4,000. But. then, since there is doubt
as to whether the plays of Shakespeare
were all his own work, the greater
vocabulary shown in his works may not
mean that it belonged to one man.
There was once a man who, in con-
versation with friends as to this matter
of vocabulary, said that he was sure
he could write 5000 different words in
five hours. We was laughed at so up
roariously that he determined to make
good his boast. At 1 o'clock he sat
down, and from then until he wrote
sheet after sheet of words. At the
end of the time he was in a state of
nervous collapse-and wEan the list was
checked up there were only 1918 words
after all.
This represents the vocabulary of a
grown-up. Juniors would probably be
astonished to find how few words they
know in comparison. In fact, while
good educations are more general than
they were fifty years ago, it is to be
doubted whether the average mans
vocabulary is as much larger as it
should be.-Mae Harris Ausen, in

nature and beautiful heart!" The fairy
replied, "You shall have your wish.
will not take all your riches from you,
but will leave some and see how you
use them.'
The fairy called the Genie, and Su-
sette was carried back to her little
home once more, and as she rode she
could feel her mind becoming filled
with thoughts, not of herself, and
what she wished, but she ionged to be
doing good and making others happy.
She furnished her little home as
plain but pretty cottage. There she
passed the days, laboring among the
children of the poor spending her
time teaching them useful ways.
She never saw the Easter fairy
again, but she ever remained the pos
SCISSOR of a kind nature and beautiful
heart. and was the beloved Susette nf
young and old forever and forever

JUNIORS APPRECIATE
THE HERALD PRIZES
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l received my present yesterday.
l think it is a lovely prize. Every
time | see it / wish that I knew some
of the girls that draw and write for
the Junior. 1 think that the Junior
has improved in the last year.

GOOD WORK

n OW THAT another vacation has
Y passed us by and we are ali fairly
- started once more on the last
stretch of our years work, we shall
each try to do something a little better
than we have done so far How 1 wish
that each boy and girl writer of the
Junior would make determined effort
to win a prize or honorable mention in
this last quarter, even if he or she has
tried all year and not yet succeeded!
Then next summer when we have our
picnic, and / call for those boys and
girls who have Won at least ore prize
during the year, every boy and girl
there may step out and be photo
graphed. Wouldn't that be a delightful
surprise for me and for you all, too?
l will do my part. 1 will try to give
you topics more interesting than any
you have had before. 1 will write the
best limericks I can possibly think of,
and will use every bit of judgment l
possess in awarding the prizes.
You all know that spelling, writing
and punctuation, neatness of the letter,
count. All those things are taken into
consideration when making out the roll
of honor; so even the smaller boys and
girls who may feel that they cannot
compose such splendid letters as their
older Junior cousins, may at least make
up in the appearance of their letter
whatever it lacks in literary merit.
have wanted you all to feel toward
me all the interest of a real aunt. I
have tried to stand as much in that po-
sition as I could, and the other day l
had a delightful reward. One of the
very dearest and sweetest of all the
dear and sweet Herald Junior nieces
came into the office to tell me of her
great happiness over the arrival at her
home of a darling little baby brother.
Nothing has pleased me so much in
many days as did this evidence of in
terest and confidence, and / want every
one of the boys and girls to know that
l am as interested in their personal af-
fairs, in their school progress and their
social pleasures as though l were in
reality a blood relation instead of just
a sort of pen and ink member of the
family.
The topics this week, especially in
the writer's contest, offer boys and girls
a chance at story writing This work
stimulates the imagination, and will
certainly prove a great benefit to all
writer's Short story writing is one of
the most difficult of all arts, and one in
which few great literary men have met
with pronounced success. Consequent
ly this practice which the Herald Jun
iors may obtain now will further their
chances of distinction later, when as
men and women writers they strive for
places in the literary field.
The drawing contest will probably be
pictures of children. but if the enter
prising young artists find some other
SUGGESTION that the topic offers them, 1
am sure that the novelty will be eager
ly greeted.
Older writer's will undoubtedly rise in
their might to discuss the state divis-
ion question. There is much argument
each way, and L hope that the writer's
will be liberal enough to see adVan-
tages which have more than local bear
ing.
With love for you all,
AUNT LAURIE.

The creek was as clear as the morning

As far below us as the sky was high.
We found a nook in a shady place.

We cast our lines to the fishes there.

Nothing but minnows went swimming by.

The sun rose high in his daily round.
And soon our Shady nook he found;
He drove the shadows and the shade away

As snatches OF melody did sing.

For truly something was on his line,
But nothing as yet had weighted mine;
Very excited we both became,
To think that our efforts were not in vain,
When Johnnie and 1 went fishing.

At last he landed 1t, stiff and straight.
But what had he upon his line?

That when the was sinking low,
And heightened shadows in the stream did

Slowly homeward we wound way.

PERSONAL CHATS WITH
THE HERALD JUNIORS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Can children in or above the eighth
grade write in the writer's contest
since the Current Topics contest has
been established?
! will suggest a topic for the Cur
rent Topics contest: lone way by
which the city government could save
a great deal" would be pretty good
topic, think. ARTHUR MOBILES,
S24 East Twenty-seventh street. 2Sth
street school, grade AS.
Your topic is good and may be used
later.
The older Juniors are not forbidden
to write in the writer's contest, but
If possible the prizes will be given to
the younger writer's.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
l do not take The Herald, but my
own Auntie Laura sent me the paper
once and / thought | would try and
win prize.
/ have written these two poems my
self and no one helped me, so l hope
they will be accepted.

you wrote on the given topics you
might win "A prize. | hope | will hear
from you again.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
l am sending i'm a special drawing
with a verse. / made up the verse to
suit our rabbits. We have two new
litters of bunnies and the older ones
are just old enough to be cute l took
my paper and pencil out to the rabbit
pen, and after giving the rabbits some
carrots and grass / sat down on an
old tin bucket and tried to draw them.
They wouldn't eat much, but would
sit just as if they were posing for me
to draw them. The two l drew are
next to the oldest of all our rabbits.
Is it all right for those in high school
to write on the writer's contest?
My brother Ray is another member,
making the twelfth one of our club.
HELEN MACE.
High school students are not given

Helen, as the Current Topics contest
is reserved for them.
l am very much interested in your

me how you are getting on and what
your plans are.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
Will you please tell me if you are
going to have any more unfinished
stories in The Herald? I looked all
over The Herald Junior and did not
find any. BESSIE LUDFORD,
r. f. d. No. 1, box POI c, Long Beach.
No, when the Current Topics began
the stories were dropped. | shall try
to make the topics for the letters as
interesting as possible.
Dear Aunt Laurie
1 thank you for using the unfinished
story I wrote very much. / think the
Juniors did fine in finishing it..
l am very interested in our new con-
test, and / think good topics haveTxso
far, been chosen. How would these
do for topics: "a "Should the United
States be regarded as singular or
plural?' (2) (Which should be abol-
ished, the house of lords or the house
of commons?"
