Courier OF And
Junior z Years
Old

Dear Juniors: Our big family, the
Courier and the Courier Junior, will
have birthdays next month. the for.
mer celebrating it's 64th and the lat.
ter its 7th. OF course it is needless
portant. Well as Father Courier is Sc
years and 1862 days older than the
Junior, we have decided to celebrate
August 10 the day on which the big
edition will be issued. The Senior
Courier was founded on August 8, 1848
Ind the Junior August s, 1905. The
people who write for the Courier have
been working for months on the big
edition as they call it.. Well as It I"
never necessary for the juniors to
work very long in big contest Nc
think that months notice will give
them plenty Of time to get ready for
their special edition in the "big" edi-
ton. In the regular "big" edition
most Of the stories will be on Ottum-
was progress and events that took
place years ago, especially GA years
ago. We want the Juniors to ask their
grandparents or some person as old to
tell them some stories of the early
days. Of course many Of the Juniors
do not live in Ottumwa, consequently
cannot write about the early days here.
Well all the better as these Juniors
can write about events of other places.
We think this will make splendid
contest. We also want the pictures of
the writer's. Some of them will be
used in the Junior. This contest Is
open this very day. It will close Fri
day, July 28. We will give surprise
prize. In fact we will give several
prizes for the splendid work we ex-
pect the Juniors to do for the big
Junior.

Stories and Letters.
WHAT WE PLAYED At RECESS.

Last year at school we played tag,
mouse and the cat, and we jumped
rope and the boys played ball and
hlackman at recess.
Sometimes we girls and boys got to-
gether and played blackman which we
had great fun in playing. But when
Miss Roberts called us we were all
disappointed
The next to the last week before
school was out the girls played cat
and dog and we got so warm running
that we went and got us a fresh drink
and when we came back to play. We
had to go In.
In the afternoon we played the same
game but we though we would play
flying dutchman and it was not SO tire
some as cat and dog.
After that we most always played
that or jumping rope. liked both of
the games.
Well as this tells all we have play,
ed at recess this last term will close.

and said he had been at the water.
What sawest thou there?" said the
king. Sir said he, II saw nothing
but waves and wind" "That is untruly
said of thee" said King Arthur. go
thou and do my command as thou art
dear to me, spare not, but throw it in"
| Then Sir Bedivere returned again.
Again he thought it sin and shame to
throw away the noble sword. Again he
hid the sword and returned to the
king What saw ye there?" said tho
king. Sir" said he, "I saw nothing
but the water tapping on the shore"
"Ah! traitor!" said King Arthur, now
hast thou betrayed me two times. If
thou do not as command thee, shall
slay thee with my own hands,
Then Sir Bedivere departed and
went to the sword, and lightly took it
up and went to the waters side. And
then he threw the sword into the
water as far as he might. There came
an arm and hand above the water
and caught it and brandished it. Then
the hand vanished away with the
sword in the water.
So Sir Bedivere came again to the
king, and told him what he had seen.
"Alas!" said the king, help me from
hence" Then Sir Bedivere took King
Arthur upon his back, and SO went
with him to the waters side. BY the
bank lowered a little barge, with
many fair ladies in it. They all had
black hoods, and they wept when they
saw the king Arthur.
Now put me into the barge" said
the king. Three queens received him
with great mourning, and in one Of
their laps King Arthur laid his head.
Then that queen said, "Ah, dear
brother, why have ye tarried so long
from me?" And they rowed from the
land.
Sir Bedivere cried, "Ah. my lord
Arthur what shall become of me?"
Comfort thyself,'' said the king. In
me Is no trust for to trust in. If thou
never hear more Of me, pray for my
soul"
And ever the queens wept as the
barge floated away.
Some there are who say that Arthur
is not dead, but that he shall come
again and win the holy cross On his
tomb Is written Here lies Arthur,
king of the past and king of the future.
So the faith lived on that he who had
been king long ago will yet be king
again.

The first time ever rode In an auto
was one day when we were at my
uncles. We went from there up to
Uncle Charles.
And then the other day Joe was
playing and he got up on the gate post
and fell and sprained his wrist. So
Uncle Charlie came up in his auto
and took us all to Farson for Joe's
arm hurt him so badly we had to take
him to the doctor.
We thought it was broken or
cracked, for he cried So but the doctor
said it was just bad sprain.
We went to Farson in little bit.
He ran it thirty miles an hour. The
name of the auto is Ford. They came
up this morning and took papa to town
with them. There were five, Charlie
Kate, Hildred, Mr. Hill and my papa
