dear, run after Bertha and Flossie and
tell them you are sorry for having been
selfish and naughty, and ask them to

Lucy jumped off her mothers knee
and ran in pursuit of Bertha and Flos-
sic. The little girls had just reached
the gate of Laura Snell's home, but
paused in response to Lucy's call: "Oh,
Bertha and Flossie, forgive me for
having acted so naughty while ago.
I'm awfully sorry 1 was so selfish, and

you did. Mamma has told me how un-

their dolls and other playthings. But
it was cold and gloomy in the shed, and
the huge carriage-with its great black
cover-took up nearly all the floor
space, causing the little girls to crowd
themselves into a corner where the
wind came in disagreeable gusts from
the big open door.
st want to play with your doll and
go-cart," said Lucy, speaking to Bertha.
"And 1 want Flossie's chair
Bertha and Flossie gave up the play
things desired by Lucy, but Bertha
asked to be allowed to play with Lucy's
big doll. "Oh, mol" cried Lucy. you
might spoil her dress or muss her hair.
No, won't allow anyone but myself
to play with my dollie."
''But you are playing with mine"
protested Bertha. 81 am not afraid to
let you handle my dollie, and Flossie
isn't afraid to let you have her chair.
If we give our playthings to you, Lucy,
you should allow us your playthings in
return"
''No, l won't" said Lucy my play
things belong to just me, and I won't
let others play with them" And she
pouted disagreeably.
"Well, give back my dollie to me and
FIossie's chair to her." said Bertha.
'If we can't have your things you
should not want ours. 1t isn't fair of
you, Lucy"
Lucy began to cry, and declared her
friends were very unkind to her, where
upon Bertha and Flossie tried persuad-
ing her, saying she might have their
things if she would not feel aggrieved.
But she kept on crying, and the more
she was coaxed the more she acted
naughty.
At last Bertha and Flossie decided to
go home, and gathering up their play
things, made ready to start. Lucy
really wanting them to stay, began
CRYING all the more, and saying. "Oh,
you are bad girls, and L won't like you
if you run home this way. so I won't"
''But you do not treat us nicely"

Such live bait, by its struggles and
cries, would undoubtedly attract cats
or wolves, and not improbably several
carnivores might be led into the
asphalt by the same bird, bison, or colt.
1t is easy to imagine an aimal caught
in the black ooze surrounded by
group of tar-besmeared wolves, each
trying to make a meal of the unfor-
tunate creature that drew him in; at
the same time fighting with the 9TH

How many of the boys and girls of
Los Angeles know where this death
trap is? Probably there are a great
many other things just as interesting
about our home city if we could only
find out about them, and for that rea-
son the topic announced this week
ought to make a special appeal to the
students of the public schools and to
the teachers as well.
1t is hoped that intelligent work
upon this subject will meet with en-
couragement from parents and teach
ers and that suggestions and ideas
of interesting treatment will be of
fered to the Junior boys and girls.

Lucy was too stubborn just then to
say she was sorry for her naughty
conduct, and sat pointing while Bertha
and Flossie went out of the carriage
shed and off toward Laura's home.
But the moment her company had gone
Lucy ran into the house and begged
her mother to allow her to go to play
for an heur with Tommy and Myrtle
Brown.
But aren't Bertha and Flossie visit
ing you?" asked Lucy's mamma. Then,
a little at time, Lucy's mamma drew
from her the cause of Bertha's and
Flossies short stay, and, taking her
little grille on her knee, she explained
how selfish children never have any
friends. and how unhappy their un-
friendly conduct toward others made
not only themselves, but those most
nearly concerned. "a selfish girl or
boy" said Lucy's mamma, cannot live
a successful life, for she or he thinks
only of herself or himself, and never

Mt, Vernon Home

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I am writing on the topic "The
House on the Hill" The house on the
hill which appealed to me most was
the house of George Washington on
Mt. Vernon. I will give you a few
reasons for my opinion.
First, because it was the home of
cur first president, who first started
our republic.
Second, because he was the father
of our country.
Third, because he risked his life in
many battles for his country and
countrymen.
Fourth, because his mother. Martha,
lived there and we should honor her
for raising such a son.
Fifth. because he designed the ar
chitecture for his home.
Sixth, because he did not live there
only in his retired life. This was after
he had completed his work for our
country.
Seventh, because he drew his last
breath in this home on the hill.

She liked to help mamma, too. So she

She had good luck, and soon came out

The rogue had run up the trunk of
the tree and out on to the low branch.
From there, he reached down and
caught Ruth's hair as it blew in the

Mamma came and set Ruth free. AS

DEATH-TRAP WHICH ANTEDATES
ADAM

Near the city of Los Angeles there
exists a tar-swamp in which animals
and birds have been mired and trapped
since the dawn of the Quaternary
epoch, says John C. Merriam, writing
in Harpers Weekly. But it was not
until recently that the bones found
therein were discovered to be remnants
of prehistoric animals, including the
extinct great wolf, American lion,
saber-tooth tiger, camel, elephant, etc.
"The relatively great number of carni-
vorous animals" he writes, (which is
the most striking feature of the
Rancho-La Brea fauna, is undoubtedly
to be accounted for in a large part
through the Turing of carnivores into
the asphalt by any creatures which

First AeropIane Built by a Woman

Typewriter, secretary, lawyer, aero
naut-Miss Lillian Todd has been all
these, and she tells about it in the
Woman's Home Companion for No
vember. She is the first woman who
has built an aeroplane-and she de-
signed 1t herself.
From earliest childhood she has been
interested in machines and has pat
ented a number of inventions. Like
the Wrights, she has worked very
quietly and perfected her machine
without fuss or feathers. Her de-
scription of the machine has a fem
mime touch.
1.-The outline of the machine is orig
inal though very recently approxi-
mated abroad it is based on a minute
study of the wings of the albatross in
the Museum of Natural History. The
full length of the machine is forty
feet, and the three planes are parallel
in the curves. 1 have gone on the
principle that if two planes are good,
three are better, to support a heavy
engine, when the weight is not ma
terially increased. The teamwork is
specially selected, straight-gr grained
spruce. The wires holding the planes
are the best imported piano wire. The
upper covering of the planes is of the
finest unbleached muslin; the lower,
which sustains most of the strain, is
of seven-ounce army duck. These COW
erings are substantially sewed on-a

u Therefore she seldom had to di-
Il vide her playthings with other
children. OF course, when her little
friends came to see her she should joy
fully have given them her toys to play

One day Bertha and Flossie Grey

them their dolls and little chairs. Also
Bertha brought her dolls little go-cart

F1ossie carried hers, for dollie had

Can See Comet Tonight
Tail Swiped Earth Wednesday
But No Damage Done.

Thousands of people in this section of
the State who have awaited in fear and
trembling the coming of the comet will
breathe easier now that the earth has
passed through the tail and no evil eff
tects have been felt. A great many
Lincoln county people arose early in the
mornings last week TO get a view of
the celestial visitor before it "hit" the
earth, but many more were content to
wait until it was visible in the early
evenings.
Prof. JacOby, astronomer at Column
bia University. says that on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights the comet was
not visible, but that the best view of It
will be had tonight, Friday. He says
when the comet appears just after
sunset it will be much more brilliant
than it was last week in the morning
sky. Look for il right over the spot
where the sun goes down, and after the
frs night or two look for a shaft of
light reaching up into the heavens un.

Editor Breckenridge
Pays High And Deserved Tribute
To Former Lincoln Editor.

Sundays Lexington Herald contain
ed a picture of Col. w. p. Walton, for
merly editor of the INTERIOR JOURNAL,
together with a news story of how he
played a prominent part in suppressing
lawlessness in this section of the State.
Editor Breckenridge comments upon the
matter, which is so we'll known to the
older citizens of the county. in the ed
itorial columns of the Herald, as fol-
lows:
We publish in other columns of this
issue brief account of an incident in
the career of a Kentucky newspaper
man to whom is due high credit for the
service he rendered in re-establishing
the reign of law and breaking the pow
er of the lawless in community in
which he had then just settled.
The incident recalls the more strenu-
GUS days of journalism in Kentucky,
when soon after the civil war there was
an era of violence and bloodshed which
seemed to justify the appellation Of
Ozark and Bloody Ground" for the
State, the right name of which in the
Indian language means Peace"
When that day comes-may it be in
the distant future-upon which Mr..
Walton, the hero of that incident, is
carried to his grave, it and many an
other similar illustration of his courage
and devotion to law will be recalled
with commentator. Now, long years
we hope, before his death, il gives US
pleasure to publish that incident. gath.
cred by a member of the Herald staff
in his regular routine of work, and to
bear our tribute of praise to one who
was induced to come to Lexington by
those who wished to destroy the infiu-
ence of the Herald, and with whom,
due to political differences. we at one
time had serious difficulties. but for
whom we have learned to have respect,
and to whom finally we gladly gave full
need of admiration and friendship.
For courage, loyalty to friend and
principle. honesty of purpose, he has no
superior in the newspaper profession in
Kentucky.
