who got the most perfect marks in

neither absent nor tardy. I went to
school from September to February

not tardy I also got the most perfect
marks in the B spelling class.

girl who wen the same prize I did and
she EDNA Cares) was in the A class
and a lived only quarter of mile
from the school house.
The teacher said that since we had
won both prizes, she would combine
the two and get us a doll apiece. One
of the dolls was dressed in pink and
one in purple, and as I was only 9
years old and Edna IL, the teacher let

When l Get Into Bed

I'm never frightened in the dark,
Though am very small:
never sit all scared. and bark
For ogres in the hall.
But when my prayers are said
I have one awful dread.
That something waits to grab my toes
When I get into bed!
I try to think of pleasant things
Each time I get undressed;
And how each day no evil brings
If children do their best.
But the thought comes in my head,
AS I'm turning down the spread,
That something's going to grab my
toes
When I climb into bed!
And when there's nothing more to do
With bed clothes open wide.
1t, makes me SILVER through and
through
A-trying to decide
Which foot shall go ahead,
Cause I'm sure I'd tumble dead
If something ever grabbed my toes
AS got into bed.

Ho1U Sammy Lost
Fifteen Minutes

Little Fifteen Minutes was sitting
on the window-sill when mother called
Sammy at quarter past six in the morn
ing Sammy had lots of things to do.
and he wanted to get them all out of
the wav so he could play ball with the
bows after school in the afternoon.
Little Fifteen Minutes had promised
to come early in the morning and
helm him weed the lettuce bed and
water the flowers before breakfast:
and true to his word. there he sat in
the bright sunshine grinning at Sammy
"Jn Just a second I'll get up said
Sammy.
He was verv sleenv and it felt soft
and comfortable in bed: so he shut his
eyes and-the next thing he knew the
breakfast bell was ringing. and Little
Fifteen Minutes was not sitting on the
window-sill any more.
ooh, dear" cried Sammy. jumping
up. NOW hes gore but maybe. if
hurry awfully fast I can catch him.
He leaned far out Of the window and
looked down in the garden below.
There were the pretty pink roses look
ing up and begging for the morning
drink Sammy had promesed them the
night before. but not sign Of Little
Fifteen Minutes. He hadn't watered
them all alone. not he.
Sammy dressed inst as fast as he
could. There wasn't time for much of
a wash. and he entirely forgot he had
ears. Then his shoelace broke. but
he tied it. together in a great ugly knot.
which made it much too short. be-
cause he didn't want to stop to put in
another. .y
" When he reached the breakfast-table
tie rettijohn was quite cold. and so
were the mullins. and he couldn't stop
for scrambled eggs because he had
to chase Fifteen Minutes.
Don't forget that those weeds
must come out of the lettuce bed TO-
day." said father as he went out the
door.
Don't forget to pick some peas for
dinner, Sammy" called mother.
Don't forget to take those eggs to
old Mrs. White, the other side of the
wood" warned grandma.
"Oh, dear" sighed Sammy. IF
only had Fifteen Minutes to help mel
But Little Fifteen Minutes was gone.
Sammy seized the empty basket on
the kitchen table and ran out towards
the vegetable garden. and there was
"Peter Rabbit trotting along the
path in front of him. Peter had a
basket. too. He jumped like anything
when he heard Sammy, and hoped
over the wall as fast as he could.
Then he peeped through hole be-
tween the stones to see what Sammy
was about His long, pink ears stuck
up over the top of the wall, though of
course Peter didn't know that But
Sammy saw them and called, Hello,
Peter, I've lost Little Fifteen Minutes.
Have you seen anything of him?"
Eyes, indeed" squeaked Peter
