The Painter of SeUiWe
By HERBERT ALIVE, HARRIS SCHOOL

began to finish 1t. Each stroke add.
ed new beauty to the picture. but he,
being absorbed In his work did not
note the presence of Murillo and his
pupils gazing upon him In astonish-
ment
And II was only after the picture
was completed that he felt that there
were others In the room. He turned
fearfully around. beheld the master
behind him and stood. rigid with fear.
He was startled out of this fear by
the stern voice of Murillo.
Who was your master?" inquired
Murillo. You, no one but you,
answered Sebastian" saw and heard
what you taught Others" he added.
Turning to his pupils, Murillo asked
What shall it be. reward or punish
ment?" Reward" cried they with
one voice.
One said a dress, another gold. and
finally one suggested to Sebastian
that he ask his freedom
Sebastian then fell upon his knees
and begged his master to free his
father. Whereupon Murillo, deeply
moved by this exhibition Of true, filial
love. granted his request and also
freed Sebastian and said that here
after he was to be, not his slave, but
his son and pupil.
The picture still hangs in one OF the
Spanish galleries and Sebastian
Gomez has won both fame and glory
for himself and Is called the Pride
OF Spain"

The Fall of Troy
BY EDNA YEckLeY, CAREY SCHOOL

NE bright morning when sharp
Il eyed sentinel was walking back

he shouted: They are gone
Who are gomez" cried a number OF
Trojans running to the spot
The Greeks, OF course"
That Is too good to be true"
Then come up and see for your
self, replied the sentinel. Soon there
were hundreds OF eager men, women
and children on the wall.

1T Is smaller than a ship and larger
than a man. All, now I remember
that in the last few days there was
much confusion going on behind the
reeds and bushes. Workmen were
hurrying back and forth and there
was the noise of hammering.

ware OF the cunning Greeks" -
The king sent proclamation
through the streets saying that all
the people would resume their peace
ful occupations once again, and the
gates would be opened at noon. Long
before the hour of noon were seen
many people before the gates. When
the gates opened the people rushed
to the beach to see II the Greeks had
left anything behind that was worth
having. They found nothing but bits
OF crockery. broken swords and a hilt
or two. No one went near the reeds.
All at once some men were seen
coming out OF the marsh with a
prisoner. All the people shouted, ~

AN ELECTRICAL STORM
BY CATHERINE HAGGAN,
EsTA6ROOk SCHOOL

a BOUT two years ago, on sui
~ try afternoon in July, black
- sinister-looking storm clouds
began to line the western ..orizon,
and gradually obscured the sun.
Lightning played among the dark
mass. and the distant rumble OF
thunder was heard every now and
then as the storm drew nearer.
People were flying hither and
thither putting the rain barrels un-
der the eavespouts and extra tubs
and pals In convenient places. In
the calm, which preceded the storm.
there could be heard the slamming OF
doors and tine bang OF the windows as
they came down after hard tugging.
Then the rain began to fall, first
slowly and in large drops as II TO give
warning TO the traveller to seek shell
ter. and then faster and faster until
IL came down In torrents Mean
while night was drawing near, and
with the darkness there came with
more frequency. vivid flashes OF light
ming. which illuminated the country
around for couple OF miles Then
came a deafening crash Of thunder.
Every one OF the family had been
standing by turns, at the window
facing the porch, and watching to see
whether the barn would be struck.
We considered this building OF I'M
portance because its NOV contained
many loads OF valuable hay, and be-
cause all the farming implements
were kept here. besides four horses.
The storm had died down some
what and we decided TO eat our sup
hnr
We must have been rather slow or
that storm must have hustled, Tor
when we were halfway through. II be-
gan to rain again. This time 1t did
not come slowly, but began to pour
right away. | suppose some or the
chickens which had taken refuge un-
der the water-trOugh during the pre-
vious storm. and had come out TO
look for grubs. did not reach shelter
soon enough, because half-dozen or
so had damp feathers the next
morning and most of these died later.
The thunder and lightning began
their former tactics. AS dessert was
being served, binding fash OF
lightning came as though a bolt had
dropped from the sky. and crash OF
thunder followed this. We were part
ly stunned for second or two. and
then the first thing we thought OF
was, HAS the house been struck
Then we reasoned that IL 1t had, we
would not have been sitting where
we were that minute: then, 1T must
have been the barn."
However we waited for short
time, and as there was no sign OF
flames. we concluded II must have
struck something else. We went 10
bed at o'clock, with the anticipa-
ton of exploring the fields and woods
near the house next morning to see
what damage had been dore.
In the morning when ] awoke. I was
greeted with the news that We had
had a close call the night before. as
the lightning had taken one-third OIL
OF the height Of tree, split what re-
mained In two. skinned the bark from
the other side and dug furro,w In
the ground. and all this happened
about rs yards from the house.
Everyone OF us thanked Providence
that we had escaped death. and hoped
that we would be kept safely through
all the rest of our lives.

WHY l AM SORRY
THE SUFFRAGE
A M E N ID M E Mt
WAS DEFEATED
BY BEATRICE PRATT,
GOLDBERG SCHOOL

r AM sorry the suffrage amend
ment was defeated, because be
- lieve that the women who from
the primitive times until now has
proved to be the best housekeeper OF
the two sexes, could prove herself to
be as capable q civic housekeeper as a
man. This housekeeping Is accom-
plished by the ballot. and not until
the women can use this means OF
housekeeping can they show their
capability for such positions.
Nearly all of the Industries which
primarily were carried on In the home
are now carried on In the outside
world. and II the factories which make
the dress materials she formerly wove
in her loom will not give her sister
women the wages necessary to eke
out living. the housekeeper is COM
PEELED to see the men go TO the polls
on election day and give them longer
hours, smaller wages. and make more
difflcult the conditions under which
they work.
These are two Of many reasons why
am sorry that women are excluded
from the use OF the ballot.

]. A. SMITH PROMOTED.
Other Changes at Mississippi Cotton
UIl Go,

-
Mr.. ]. A. Smith, who has been the
cashier of the Mississippi Cotton Oil
Co. in Grenada for the past seven
years, has been sent to the coinpany's
mill at Meridian to fill the same place
but at an increased salary. In his re-
moval Grenada loses one of her finest
characters. Mr.. Smith is a man that
stands for all that is upright, just and
honest at all times. There is a sunshine
about his department, a gentleness
about his actions and a persuaveness
about his manners that can not fail to
impress one with the true nobility of
the mans soul. In many respects he
is al exemplary character. He is
faithful in business, punctilious in the
discharge of any duty and is a man
who knows how to meet the most exact
ing requirements of business and who
may be relied upon not to shirk any
duty or1 avoid any responsibility that
properly belongs to him. The Sentinel
hazards the statement that the Missis-
sippi Cotton Oil Co., in all of it's hun
dreds and hundreds of employees, has not
a more faithful and worthy man on its
pay rolls. He deserves the best the
company has. Only the other day, a
representative of the Sentinel heard
Mr.. ]. M. Brown, the manager under
whom Mr.. Smith has worked in Gre
NADIA, say that during all the months
of his service here that there had never
been a moment when it could be said
that Mr.. Smith did not meet fully and
completely every duty imposed upon
him and that there was not anything
too good to be said about him. The
Sentinel joins his friends in wishing
him continued success and much happi-
ness. Mrs. Smith and the little daugh-
ter will remain In Grenada until the
public school closes.
Coincident with Mr.. Smiths promo
ton the promotion of Henry K.
Orman from the place of bookkeepel
to that of cashier to succeed Mr.. Smith,
which is Indeed a high compliment to
Mr.. Orman, a young mar scarcely
twenty years of age. He has beer
faithful in meeting his duties and it is
indeed a tribute to him to be placed
in SO important a place. He is
perhaps the youngest cashier in the
omplove IF the Mississipni Cotton Oh
Co. Mr.. D. l.. Grantham is promoted
to the place of bookkeeper to succeed
Mr.. Orman, a place that he will M
doubt fill most satisfactorily. TIT
