ALL ABOUT CAROLINE.
Dear Editor,

Dear Editor:
AS I have not written to the Junior
for some time l though l would write
you a letter. hope all the Juniors had
nice time Christmas. I had a nice
time. I will tell you what l got for
Christmas. l got book, an apron,
some hair ribbons, needle and pin
cushion, a pair of beads, a pair of
mittens, handkerchief bag and some
candy. The name of my book is THE
Coming of Caroline"
The little girls name was Caroline.
Her papa and mamma died and gave
Caroline to a neighbor woman. This
woman was to take Caroline to her
aunt. But this woman was bad and she
spent all of Carolines money. At last
aunt's door step.
Now Caroline's aunt did not know
she had a little niece. SO when she
found Caroline she thought she was q
waif girl. But she took her in the
house and warmed and fed her. She
got to liking Caroline and told her she
could stay and live with her. Then
this bad woman came back and kid
mapped Caroline, not because she look
her, but she wanted some money. This
woman had not told Caroline or her
aunt that they were relations. So they
did not know 1t but she had got to lik-
ing Caroline and she was awful sorry
that she was gone and tried to find
her. At last she found her, and found
out that Caroline was her niece. She
took Caroline home and they were
both very happy.

That Happy Little
Thought

A helpful little Happy Thought went
fastening on it's way,
All in the early morning of long and
busy day,
tive neither hands. nor feet nor
tongue" it unused, "but I'll not
sorrow,
For boys and girls are plentiful, and so
I'll merely borrow"
Now little Nell was skipping by, to
visit little Jane.
Presto; the little Happy Thought was
beaming in her brain.
And SO she turned and hurried back,
and stayed at home instead,
Reading, with merry, tripping tongue,
to poor blind cousin Ned.
Off went the little Happy Thought and
saw some idle feet
Drumming their heels against the
steps upon quiet street.
And soon these feet were carrying
upon an errand hot.
Their smiling owner, who had whined
and said he'd rather not"
II Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do"
Why, then little Happy Thought can
set them working, too.
And, Judging from a-many things l
notice every day,
That helpful little Happy Thought is
stf1lupon its way.

girl and her mother We're sitting by
the large fireplace watching the great
logs burn. 1t was four NIGHTS before
Christmas and Piccola's mother spoke
and said: my dear little daughter, we
are so poor that 1 am afraid that
Santa Claus will forget u.s." We'll
mother, said Piccola, II don't think
he will forget us because you know
that Santa Claus is good to every
body that Is rood.''
Well Christmas eve came at last
shoes and put them in front of the
large fire place. She went to bed feel
ing very sad because she thought that
Santa Claus would not come to her
house.
Well Santa Claus did come to Pic
colas house and what do you think ne
brought her? He brought her little
bird and put it in her wooden shoe. In
the morning when she woke up she
found the little bird. She was so happy
that she jumped up and down for
joy because Piccola dearly loved birds.
The little bird was cold. wet, and
hungry. She fed it and put it in a
warm cloth. Picola thought so much
Of her little bird that she always fed
1t before she ate bite. Piccola kept
the little bird all winter and in the
spring when it got warm enough she
let it go. The little bird lived very
happily in the woods and near Pic
cola's home. And every day she threw
out crumbs to the little bird. Piccola
and the little bird lived happily ever
since.

The Junior Partner
Leaves Home

There was not the least particle of
use in the Senior partners feeling
badly about it, for, with all his skill.
he could do nothing to stop it. But it
was hard to stand by and see the
changes in the Junior Partner go on.
The Senior Partner tried to shut his
eyes and then not believe them-as
we always do when we are brought
face to face with something which we
would Like to prevent and cannot. But.
day by day, the truth forced itself
upon him. And the General Manager
felt it more keenly than he They no.

flowing Of the legs and arms so that
no lap could contain them; then came

had been: the whole body and even
the mind became affected. There
could be no doubt about it; the Jun
Tor Partner was growing,
But while they felt keenly the Slip
ping away of the sweet little round,
warm Junior Partner, with his round
face End his round eyes and his round
legs and his round hands and his
wobbly talk, they found that the com
Ing Junior Partner, the long Junior
Partner, was a pretty lovable sort of

very different. So different that he
seemed to be another chap who had
gradually come into the family just
to try to make up to them for what
they were losing And he did first

JESSlE'S COUSIN LIVES WHERE
THERE is SNOW ALL THE TIME

l have little cousin who spends
the winter up north. where there is
snow almost all the time Her name
is Ruth Every morning as soon as
the morning mists have rolled away
her brother Jack, takes her for
sleigh ride. They have the prettiest
and gentlest little pony that ever lived
or at least they think So 1t would
not do, however, for her to go alone,
for she might lose her way. But Jack
is always ready to go with her. He
knows every inch of the mountains
and with his stout shoes and strong
stick he guides her safely along the
narrow path and winding passes.
Tourists sometimes do lose their way
and have to spend the night out in
the cold without any shelter.

MARGARET, THE LITTLE HOUSE
KEEPER.

Dear Editor
Once there was a little girl named
Margaret. Her mother had died, so
Margaret had to keep house. She was
neat little housekeerer.
The house had no paper on it.
She worked hard to earn money
enough to have the house papered.
She thought Of good plan. She
thought that she could carry in wood
for the neighbors.
So one day she commenced to carry
in wood.
At one house she got 81, at another
house Is cents and at another house
so cents. ~
Then she had to go home and get
her fathers dinner.
When her father came home Mar
garet showed her father the money,
$2z5, and told him what she was go
ing to do with it. She said she was go
ing to have the wall papered and buy
some new shoes.
So one day she got her things. She
had some money left, so she bought
some flowers with it.
Not long after that she had the
house painted and had as nice house
as anybody.
Yours truly,

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

All the boys in the neighborhood
wonder why Jacks rabbits and dogs
are so tame and good to him. If they
could see what pains he takes to give
them food and water and good houses
and beds, perhaps they would not
wonder so. Jack let's no dog or cat
come near his rabbits to brighten
them. To be sure he has his dog in
the yard, but he is SO well trained
that he would as soon think Of biting
his kind master as of worrying his
rabbits. In fact the rabbits play about
the dog without the least fear This
is what I call kindness to animals.
Jack Is my little cousin.
