Story Of An
Industrious
Boy

Hired James was, one OF those boys
whom people generally call resource
full" He was boy who never under
stood what failure meant Indeed,
he seemed to live up to that old adage:
IF at first you don't succeed, try. try.
try again" And trying again never
dampened his spirits or cooled his
ardor.
Since his twelfth year, Alfred had
been doing odd jobs to earn some
money. His parents were in very
moderate circumstances, and Alfred
felt that he wished to be bit indie
pendent in the matter of spending
money. And not only had he earned
pocket money for himself, but had un.
selfishly given great many nice pres.
ents to his mother and little sister He
enjoyed giving to those whom he loved
And now Alfred was in his fifteenth
year, and was anxious to be doing
something more substantial and more
satisfying than performing "odd jobs
for the neighbors for a small sum per
lob. He had fine tool chest-one OF
his first purchases after having saved
his money for year-and had done a
good deaf OF house carpenter work
He coulS MS as fine shoe-box

Their First Bear
Hunt

Two boys went hunting in the woods
Each had great popgun;
They went in search Of dangerous
And not in search of fun.
One boy unto the other said:
Lets find a Grizzly Bear
Agreed the other boy replied,
We'll find him here, somewhere"
So round and round the mighty woods
They very bravely stalked;
Though silence was observed by them
For neither laughed nor talked.
Their eyes peered through the day
light dim;
Their guns they held in place;
When, 10! one of them quickly
stopped
A beast stared in his face.
"Ah, there's a bear!' he, trembling
gasped,
And hid behind some trees;
And the other boy fell where he stood
So weak had grown his knees.
And then the bear came slowly up
ut really makes me laugh
For when the boys dared peep at it
They saw a neighbours calf.

ny FRIEND ELIZABETH.

Elizabeth was one Of the best
friends I have ever had. She was a
little girl, one year younger than !:
She had long yellow curls and bright
blue eyes and rosy cheeks. She was
q great girl for games and was full
Of fun and fronc and liked to laugh.
Elizabeth liked to have company
and 80 often when she would see me
she would say, Esther, ask your
mamma if you can't come over, l just
cleaned the play house"
Elizabeth had some swings and she
liked very much to swing In them,
Often when she would come over to
my house we would have play dinners.
Her birthday is on Halloween and
once she had q party. There were
lots of Jacko'lanterns and children.
We tried to eat apples fastened to
strings hung from the ceiling. Last
summer Elizabeth moved to Alabama
and I miss her very much.

may have on hand, such as carbolic
acid. ammonia and other like bever.
ages. must get that chest done to-
day otherwise l shall feel bit re-

Granger kids" And Arthur began to
sapdpaper the door of medicine
chest which was very near compile
tion."
"You are q treasure, sonny" de-
clared Mrs. James, making her big boy
stop his work long enough to allow her
kissing him. And If energy, deter
mination, hope, have anything to do
with success; well. you'll succeed"
That's because I've got the right
sort OF Momsey to help me along.
And Arthur rolled some shaving OF the
table. Gee, it's fine to have such a
mother and father as have" he
added as his mother ran singing into
the house. t'And as for little sister,
gee, she's the girl OF all girls, SO far.
And she'll always be the ONLY SIS

girl there'll always be the best
