WISHING.
wish were little bird,
To fly from tree to tree.
And sing my sweetest song to ALL
Oh. how happy l would be.
I wish were little squirrel.
TO eat the nuts and bark,
| And sleep in hollow tree,
As happy az n lark.
But I can have good times.
| AS well as squirrels and birds,
And help make others happy,
BY saying gentle words.

A SAFE GUN.

THE gun that like the best" said
Ted,
as the gun that doesn't kill"
he found?"
ASK lncredulous Cousin Will.
They're just as plentiful as birds in
May.
I've got one myself" said Ted.
II go a-hunting most every day,
But my prey are never dead.
They fly right off as soon as they're
shot"
Said Teddy to nonplussed Will
You see" he averred, with knowing
smile.
"a camera doesn't kill"

CINDERELLA IN THE COURT
KITCHEN.

Elvoia was little Kitchen girl who
lived many. many years ago. All
day long she had to work very hard
washing dishes, scrubbing floors and
cleaning silvcrware in the Kings pal
ace. She was often left alone with an
enormous heap Of dishes and pots and
pans to wash, while tho other kitchen
maids went to a dance.
But, in spite of all the work she had
to do, Elvola could not refrain from
thinking of the beautiful halls. grand
staircoses and richly decorated rooms
of the palace above. OF which she had
caught slight glimpse. She often i,
dercd how It would feel to live among
also think with awe and wonder of the
beautiful Princess Anne, who was six
teen and wore dazzling gowns, and
who could do just what she pleased all
day long.
One summer evening all tho kitchen
maids vent to dance. leaving Elvola
alone. as usual, with a great deal of
cleaning up to do. After their depar-
ture, she sat down and cried because
the work looked so hard. But soon
she dried her teams. FOR" as she said
out loIi. supposing that there was no
one to hear, II can TAX all the time
I wish TO do my task. and perhaps il
viii not seem so hard"
She jumped up with brighter eyes.
First, will do some pretending. Let
me see. "ho shall be' ] know; shall
be the Princess Anne" she cried. clap
ping her hands with real delight and
beginning to pace the bare stone floor
with stately tread.

The Reason Why Is
Given Club Members

Dear Girls and Boys:
Since the formation of the Childrcns
Club of The Times Dispatch your edi-
tor has had real reason to feel graft
fled over the willing support and 10y
atty of club members on questions In
volving the good of the club at large.
There has been reason to thoroughly
test this loyalty recently. Your editor
wishes that the club could have two
pages instead of one in The Times
Dispatch. But as that is an impos-
sibility, our one page has TO be so
arranged for club purposes as to do
the greatest good to the greatest
number" And this requires that con-
tributions shall be strictly censored as
to length. Otherwise many of the most
deserving members of the II. D. c. c.
would get no recognition whatever.
Now it is the sincere conviction of
the editor that all club girls and boys.
no matter what their Individual opin-
ions and preferences may he, will
merge their own ideas into n policy
that seeks the good of all, rather than
the qualification of ono.
Let the year 1913 be one in which
club union Will be closer than ever in
which club growth will exceed all
other years, and club achievement will
prove to the world what the girls and
boys of Virginia arc doing in the field
of journalism. YOUR EDITOR.

kind of humming b.. me. Then 1
jumped up and saw old DR.. Cracking.
He had shot the leopard. and he gave
mo the leopard's skin. Just then felt
somebody pinch me, and il was my lit :

IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AN EARLY
DISTRIBUTION ON MONDAY
MORNING AND THE PUBLIC IS
LARGELY INcoNVENl ENcED.
MORE HELP NECESSARY
LOCAL FORCE DOING ALL WITHIN
ITS POWER TO HANDLE THE
MAIL BUT ARE UNABLE TO
COPE WITH SITUATION.

The order or ruling Of the post Office
authorities by which the Sunday dis
tribution OF mail was discontinued, Is
proving very unpopular with the bust
ness people OF the city and especially
so to the hotels and transient travel
Ing men,
The accumulation Of mail over Sun
day congests the Office with an abnor
NAL mail on Monday and il is impossi
BILE 10 get distribution of it until aft
er the rural route carriers have as
sorted their mail. The local force Is
doing all it can to accommodate tht
public but, nevertheless, the service
Is inadequate. l.. is often after
O'Clock on Monday morning Eefore tho
mail is all distributed, especially the
newspaper matt. This often causes
travelling men to lay over here several
hours on Monday before they can gel
important mail and the newspapers
are very much imconyenienced in the
handling OF exchanges, The morning
paper cannot get the Saturday after
noon State exchanges until Monday
morning.
Many business men would find II
convenient to get their mail on Sun
day, in order that 1t may be at hand
for attention early Monday morning
but. the best part of the day Monday
is gone before they can secure the
mail.
There is considerable talk OF circu
lating petition asking the post Office
department for additional clerks fol
the Sunday mail, which would relieve
the extra burden on the regular post
Office force in handling the large ac
cumul alton OF mail over Sunday.
