We girls were invited by crowd OF
boys to take lunch and go fishing on
the banks Of the Shenandoah River.
After fishing some time without any
luck we decided to take a boat and 60
out In the river.
We had fine luck, for some had four,
1ive and six fish. had six.
We crossed over the river to tho
other side and ate our lunch in a
very pretty grove. We played few
games, and then got back In the boat
and tished sgain,
We soon stopped fishing to laugh
aud talk. We We're all In the greatest
glee, just as merry as merry could be,
when one girl started to walk to the
other end OF the boat, slipped, fell and
upset the boat
You should hayc seen us We ell
fell In this river. and the next thing
that was seen OF that laughing party
was Il crowd Of girls and boys swim
ming for the shore, looking Just like
a lot OF dfowned rats.
Every Dish got away except one, II
hadn't been taken off the hook. and
as 1t looked SO very lonesome we
tossed 1t back again into the river,
and it's farewell glance was very
grateful.
AS the weather and water wau
warm and all OF us could swim, no
damage was done, but that will be
our last fishing party for some time"

lay on the sofa one morning in Sep

ness. No one need expect to be happy
who only pleases herself

iillins with tears as she spoke, you
don't think I like to lie here all this
iine weather with a sprained foot? And
how can help any one SO long as I
cannot move off this sofa?"
Kitty. dear, listen to me quietly n
lew moments and YOU will SEQ what /
mean. Do You think because your feet
cannot run about all your other little
servants should be idle, too? What
nave your hands been about all this
time? Have they been working for
others? II you would BIO happy, "
daughter, set all these members to
work in earnest"
kitty was very thoughtful all that
day, and when her mother came in
at night for the usual bedtime chat
sne sad: Mother. l have thought OF
what you said, and ! know of sonlo-
thing which, il you are willing, I
would like TO do Do you remember
mat sad story Aunt May told us the
otner morning of poor Mrs. Wells,
whose husband was killed IN the foun-
dry? She said there were seven chill
dren who have hardly any clothes to
wear and cannot go to school any
LONGER Do you think you could show
me now to knit them scarfs and mitts7
and maybe we could mend some of my
old clothes for t-.em.'
Yes, indeed, darling replied her
mother, kissing her good night, and
grandma and l will help you. ] am
glad to see those hands hard at work"
kitty could hardly wait for the
worsted to be bought and the bright
red scarf to be set up, which was to
be the ltrst piece OF work. How the
nusy needles did flyl Early and late
the little gorl worked. nor did her
interest lessen until all was finished.
and she surveyed with pleasure the

club as ours, we can only make So
lection that will, as nearly as wo can,

that what we do is not sufficiently APP

Another member, a boy this time
wishes TO know IL no must be club
member to send in drawings. Yes, he
must be. but his badge will be sent him

Then Theodore Coffman writes re-
garding the foundation OF a Bridge

sooner the branch club Is formed, the
better, the editor thinks. To that end
the editor would be glad TO help The

One day this summer ono of nv
schoolmatcs and I decided to go out in
me woods. We came to the edge OF
the woods, and there we saw an old
cabin. There was very old colored
man sitting In front OF the cabin. He,
as all other very old darkies will do,
spoke to US. He began to talk to us.
He said that this old cabin had been
standing since the war. He said that
ne had been living there eighty-fve
years and had had eight new chimneys
put on his cabin. There are grape
vines In front and fruit trees ali
around It. We looked inside Of tho
cabin. 1t contained one room with
very large fireplace. This old cabin
looks very delapidated, and am sure I
would not like to stay In 1t during a
wind storm.
