TELL NE A a
NSTORY:IHA
~ PlAYTINF
JOAN OF ARC.

In the town of Domremy in
France there lived about 500 years
ago a pretty and sweet little girl
called Joan. Her parents were not
wealthy, so could not send her to
the convent to study. But while
Joan tended the sheep on the hills
or drove her fathers horses she
learned a great deal just watching
the wonderful things going on all
about her.
About this time the king of her
country was having trouble to hold
his throne, and he and his army
were being defeated by the enemy.
Little Joan heard of this, and as she
sat tending the sheep she dreamed
of the king and his troubles. Final
ly it seemed to her that angel fair
les whispered to her that she must
go to the help of the king and lead
his army to victory.
Now there was an old legend
known to the French that some day
a fair maid would appear to their
king when he needed help, and
would lead them all to victory.
Joan had heard this, and believing
she was the one to save the king
she set out for the court.
When she came before the king
she convinced him that she was to
be the savior of his throne, and he
permitted her to lead the army. He
gave her a beautiful suit of armor
to wear. Then she mounted snow
white horse, and carrying an inn
mense sword in her hand, she led
the kings army against the enemy
at Orleans, and won the battle.
The king gave her the place of
honor in his court, allowing her to
stand at his right hand.
A few years afterward, in an.
other battle, she was taken prison
er by the enemy and put to death
The French mourned very deeply
for their good and gentle deliverer
and they have preserved the house
in which she lived Statutes of
great beauty have been modelled of
the great Joan of Arc.

pears at the door of prisons and
fire departments this elderly wom-
an, with her white hair, shining
black eyes and her arms full of
carnations for the buttonholes of
her boys"
The weather is never too bad to
keep her from the bedside of an
injured man, and in many homes
she has assumed the burden of the
household when the wife and
mother was sick.
She has the distinction of being
the only woman in America who be-
longs to the Firemen's' Relief asso-
citation. This honor was CON
ferred in Los Angeles, Cal. The
fire departments in Columbus,
Delaware and Marion, o., gave her
badges of honorary membership a
few years ago.

them on the shoulder, says: You're

there ever a man so big or so old
or so rough that he outgrew the
longing to be "mothered"?
