IAN IMAGINARY PICNIC"

One day the sun shone brightly In
the sky overhead, the birds were
singing gaily in the trees, and not
cloud appeared In the sky.
It was the second day Of June and
the Juniors were going to have a
picnic. The Juniors attending were:
Josephine and Frances Norton, Maude
Squires, Mabel Root, Maude ana
Mabel Skirvin, Loretta Coady, Leona
Vest, Juliette and Desdemona Eisen-
beis, Retta Ruark, Margaret Bray, For
est Weber, Lois Griffin, Vida Conger
and Edna Carey. They met at the Al
bia City park about 1910 with well
filled lunch baskets. When we got
there the first thing we did was to
sit down In the shade Of an oak tree
to rest after our long walk through
the sun. After we had rested some of
us went to play games and some sat
down and told stories. Forest Weber
had brought his watch with him, ana
when it was five minutes to twelve
the larger girls started to get dinner
ready. They spread the table cloth on
the grass and we all ate at the same
table. We had all kinds of fruit, sand
wiches, lemonade, and chicken. After
dinner the table was cleared, and the
things that were left were put back IN
the baskets.
Lois and Josephine sat down anu
watched the rest of us play games.
AS Leona Vest was playing, she
thought she saw snake and she
screamed and Forest Weber went to
see what was the matter and she told
him. and he found it was only long
stick. When the rest of us ran to see
what was the matter, he told us and
we all laughed We played another
game and by that time it was half past
four O'Clock. We then went back to
the place where we had left Josephine
and Lois, but we could net find them.
We looked everywhere for them ana
Just as we were going to 60 without
them they came out from behind a
large tree which we had overlooked.
They had been hiding from us. At D
o'clock we went home, each one de-
claring that they had had a. coed time.

with some of the Juniors).

est where no one could see him.
He cut his bundle of fagots, piled
them together, tied them with a
stout band, and throwing them over
his shoulder, started homeward. Then
he noticed that the wild creatures that
had never stirred as he entered the
woods before, were now afraid of him.
Birds futtered away with whirring
noise an dan old mother hare, which
he knew very well, made wonderful
leaps to get herself and family out OF
sight. Even a bear ran from him in.
stead of attacking him. j.
Soon he met a stranger with a sad,
stern face, who stopped him. @
Don't you know that this is Sunday
on earth, when all must rest from
work." ....
Whether it is Sunday on earth or
Monday in heaven, it is all the same to
me-" laughed the old man.
Then carry your bundle forever,
and as you do not care for Sunday
on earth, you shall have long Mon.
day in heaven, where you shall be a
warning to all Sabbath breakers ever
more"
Then the old man found himself
suddenly rising in the air. Quick as
thought he was landed in the moon,
where his wife saw him as she stood
outside her door that night to watch
for his coming. There he still stands
bearing his fagots, and as all days are
Mondays in the moon, he can never
break Sunday again.
