On an Alligator Farm,

Clark Booker. Aged IA Years. Gothenburg,
Neb Red Side.
In the summer Of 1908 while on a trip
west with my father, we stopped at an
alligator farm in Los Angeles Cal 1t
was the first time in my short life OF
II years that had seen an alligator
At first thought they we're dead as they
lay so still, but when you walked near
them they would hiss at you and wsddle
off on their four short legs.
From there we went to the hatchery, and
here we saw a large number Of tiny alliga-
tors only a few minutes Old eating small
frogs and soaked bread as II they were
starved. The incubators are like chicken
incubators and the alligators are Matched
in the same manner. 1 think on that day
we saw alligators from tiny babies up to
fun grown papas and mammas.
Following the crowd the guide gave an
exhibition in which he made two large
Rlligators shoot the shoots. We went
through the display room where all the
articles are made from alligator's skins.

The Master Of Music.

BY Ruth Kirschstein. Aged u Years, 2O2s
Maple street, Omaha, Neb. Red Side.
Mischa Elman. although only q years
of age, is the most wonderful violinist Of
today. AS heard his music l seemed to
be away from everything. All that l heard
were the rich, wonderful tones of that
magic violin. One could almost imagine
that It was some human being, first laugh
inN then the tones suddenly becoming
soft and low, one would think that the
violin was meditating. then suddenly he
dropped into the depth of misery. The
wailing OF those deep tones was enough to
make one cry. but before there would be
time to the music would again be light
and gay, suggestive to boys dancing by
moonlight.
human person cannot describe Mischa
Elmans music. but a person who loves the
violin, can feel It. The musician seems to
put his whole soul into his violin. Schoen

a wonderfully brilliant little piece, full OF
life and color. Sonata, ID major, by Han

True Friends.

BY Eunice Sickkotter Aged Years
Gretna, Neb. Blue Side.
Arthur and Tom are very good friends
Once in awhile they would get angry
One day Arthur threw a stone at Tom.
Tom picked up the stone and was going to
throw It back at him and then, he changed
his mind, He walked into the school room
and told his teacher
That was a naughty thing for Arthur
TO do" she said.
You may tell his teacher II you wish"
Tom went to the door with the stone
in his hand.
Aren't you going to tell on him?" asked
one of the boys.
NO, said Tom, he gets angry too
easily"
Arthur was ashamed of what he had
done. After school he gave Tom his new
knife because he was sorry he had done
II and so they we're as good friends as

somewhere in the neighborhood striking

home. 1t was 10 o'clock.
After leaving the subway train at One
Hundred and Forty-fifth street jim
turned his face towards the street in
which his uncle and aunt lived That
whole end of the town seemed deserted
and as Jim walked leisurely along he said
to himself, "Why, it's as deserted and still
up here as it is on the prairies. Only
down town, on Broadway, IL there noise
and life and" But he broke off his
soliloquy at this point. for a gentleman
had come from the opposite side of the
street, and was going in the same drec-
ton that Jim was going, only he was half
a block in advance Of Jim. And just a few
seconds after the gentleman had passed
a vacant lot which lay dark and narrow
between two tall apartment houses. Jim
saw dark form dart from the place. and
creep quickly and stealthily up behind him.
He saw the CLEAN of a revolver in the
night light as the following form leapt to
the side of the pedestrian. And then Jim

We have two dogs, Ross, an Irish setter
and Don, a pointer.
One Easter morning Ross was shot. He
came to the back door. We let him in and
washed the wounds. Don licked his eve
every day for weeks until 1t finally got
well.
Before he was shot Ross would not let
Don lie down beside him to sleep. But
now he keeps Don warm. Also when they
were eating we would have to watch Ross
because he would take the food away
from Don. Now Ross will share the food.
They are the best Of friends.
