Jus tNoShCiS WIZ were largely re-
sponsible for the improvement, it was
common complaint that the pupils
trampled the flower beds and will
fully, or otherwise, destroyed the
young trees. The pupils retorted
that their only play space had been
pre-empted for useless" flower beds
and that where there had been some
sort of playground they now we're
forced into the highway for all their
sports. Thus it was demonstrated
that any attempt toward school i'm
provement that does not take the
school child into account is more
than useless.
Planning and Making the Playground
School grounds should contain not
less than four acres of well drained
land. This will give adequate space
for the trees and flower beds which
are indeed a necessary part of the
school environment; at the same time
1t will give ample space as we'll for
the maintenance of number Of
healthful sports.
There is almost an infinite variety
in the games originated by the child
rem for their own use upon the school
grounds.

primary use OF the playground is to

Dear Aunt Laurie:
a NE bright day l set off with my
Cousins dog. EIy eye fell on a
" large peculiar track in the fallen
snow. 1t was FIVE inches across and
big enough for a bears track, but
there were no signs of claws or toe
pads. The steps were short, and the
tracks not so sunken as they would
have been for a bear.
We were at last in the dense hem
lock woods at the upper end of the
valley, when pecular sound like the
cry of a deep-voiced cat was heard.
Vow! Yowl Yow!'
stood still! The dog, although a
large and powerful retriever, whlm-
pered, trembled and crawled near.
The sound increased in volume and
came nearer, until l was able to see
a lynx with its young, and a hne
large one it was. The stripes on It's
face and the wide cream yellow eyes
gave it a wild tiger-like expression.
The dog deserted me and the lynx
stopped, dropped its young, and as
she did so they let out a playtul
'meow"
They were cute little fellows and as
saucy as their mother, but much pret-
tier.
I. too, left without warning, for L

for them But I can never forget the
cute little fellows of the woodland.

FAWN BECOMES A REAL, PET
Lives in Country Home for Five
Years, but Dies When Taken to City
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
L ATE one afternoon in the early
summer of 1904 the people at my
- grandmother's farm were sur
prised to see Blackie, the large New
foundland Spaniel dog, come trotting
leisurely up to the house, accompanied
by a baby fawn only three or four
days old.
The little thing was not much larger
than the big tomcat. and was perfectly
unharmed with the exception of
slight scratch on one leg. 1t had beau
tiful brown eyes. and its back was
covered with white spots, which later
disappeared.
For the first few weeks he was fed
from a bottle and thrived greatly.
Nero, as he was soon named. was not
kept Gagged, but was allowed perfect
freedom of the house and yard.
In and out he ran, getting into much
mischief. His favorite repast were the
bright colored and choice flowers from
my grandmother's beautiful garden.
Finally, this habit of his became so
troublesome that a yard about 200 by
100 feet was made for him. and woe
to any little flower that attempted to
grow there.
In this yard were trees, long grass
and a fine, large kennel. and here
he seemed perfectly contented.
Nero and | became great friends in
spite of the fact that at times it was
too great a temptation for him to try
his new antlers on NE.
When 1 had hastily departed he
worked off his inspiration on an
obliging and unremonstrative box.
ar
when the farm was sold Nero was
taken to the city, where he lived six
months before he died.

WILDCAT BECOMES CAMP PET
Every Evening Miners Find Amuse-
ment in Its Many Tricks
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
HTE FOUND him in the extreme
w end of mountain cave, huddled
W together with his four brothers
and sisters. The mother had been
shot the day before, and the little ones
were cold and hungry
We carried him out to the light, and
all but one, which was given to boy
friend and myself, were killed.
We took our little wildcat to the
camp where we were staying, made a
little house out of a large cracker box,
and secured him by a small chain
fastened to a post driven into the
ground.
He was a funny little creature-such
large bright eyes, small pointed ears,
and his tail was so short. that 1t is not
worth mentioning.
Such an eater never before was seen.
Bread and milk, with a small piece of
meat, was his regular diet three times
a day. 1t took about two cans of
canned milk and half loaf of bread
to satisfy it's hunger.
At first, when any one approached,
it would lay back its ears and, show
ing it's teeth, growl ferociously; but
soon 1t became accustomed to the scent
and appearance of man, and when one
would appear, would run out to the end
of its chain and stand up on its hind
feet like dog.
Three months passed. 1t was very
tame, and when let loose would follow
one about like a dog his master. 1t
was very playful, but especially toward
evening, when the miners gathered
before the cook house. 1t seemed to
take pleasure in entertaining them
with it's playful pranks.
l was very sorry to leave our dear
