pIOGENEs THE WISE MAN.

In Corinth, a city in Greece, lived
a wise man whose name was Dlogenes.
People would come from miles around
to hear him talk. Though as wise as
ne was he was very queer. He thought
that people ought not to have any
more than they needed and they didn't
need much.
He did not live in house, but slept
in a tree. In the day time he would
sit in the sun and people would gather
around to hear him talk.
When Alexander the Great was king
of the east, he went around to the
city. One day he came to Corinth and
ali the men except Diogenes came to
see him. The king said, when Dio-
genes will not come to see me, | will
70 to see him for want to hear him
talk"
Diogenes was lying beside the tree
when he saw the king and the men
coming he sat up. The king said,
"Diogenes, heard much about you so
I thought I would come to see you.
Is there anything can do for you"'
EYES," said Diogenes, "you can step
aside so the sun will shine upon me. y
When the king was going home he
said to him, "If were not Alexander, |
would like to be Diogenes."

The Death of the Sun Hero
Catherine Luttrell

Once there was a king who was
blessed with most clever and beauti-
full son. When he wa stem years of age
he was smarter than any Of his fathers
counselors. His mother gave him a
white horse that never slept and flew
like the wind.
One day his mother and father we're
telling about their dreams and sent
him to find the tree of the sun.
Ninety-nine days after he left home
he met a wizard who directed him to
the tree and ninety-nine days after he
met the wizard he came to the tree.
He tried to reach the golden fruit
but the tree grew higher and he could
not reach them. While he was standing
on his tiptoes he heard someone
laughing behind him. He turned
around and saw someone dressed in
red. The same parsonage in his father
and mothers dream. She said "Son,
hero you cannot pluck this golden
fruit until you first guard the tree nine
days and nine nights" The prince
promised he would and she said, IF
you promise to do this task and fail
the king will kill YOU" And then she
vanished
Then two big wolves came and he
drove them away and they came again
he drove them back again. He did this
for seven days and nights but the
eighth night his strength failed him
he fell fast asleep. When he awoke a
woman dressed in black stood before
him.
She said, You have let the wolves
damage the tree and | command you to
ride away from here at once and pro
nounce sentence Of death upon you.
The prince rode home very'sad. One
day he was out hunting and stopped at

A Description - By Mar

AS I was walking along the path,
decided to take short cut through the
woods by a path which was seldom
used by anyone and known only to a
few persons. Suddenly I came upon
a small house in the midst of small
clearing. My curiosity being aroused

was not satisfied with the view from
the outside, and so / went to the door
and knocked. No one answered and |
ventured in.
At first glance I could see that the
place was inhabited by a man. In
one corner was a nearly worn out fish,
ing net. Skins decorated the other.

small table in one end of the room
were several curious shells and an old
fashioned horse pistol. A small fire.
place half-filled one end of the small
room.
The ashes of wood fire were in the
fire place. Near the fireplace was a
bed of pine needles and straw. A
couple of old blankets were thrown
over the straw.
As walked across the room I glanc,

that the sky was getting dark. So
went out and closed the door, quite
satisfied with my adventure.

Testers School Composition
on Witchcraft

Dear Editor:
l am writing one of my school COM
positions on witchcraft.
Long ago people believed in WITCH
craft Old women and men were put to
death or chained and thrown in prison.
Very few people did not believe in
Witchcraft.
1t was said by people Of that time
that witches communicated with the
devil and rode through the sky on a
stick If one did not like his neighbOr
and did not want to have him arrested
he would say he was witch. A man
would even say one in his own family
was witch if he had any suspicion.
The king Of England sent John Hop
kins out in search Of witches If he
saw any one with a wart or pimpe on
them he would say they were witches
because it was the devils mark. Other
proofs that they We're witches was that
when they were thrown in a pond, If
they sank they were innocent and if
they floated they were witches.
The witchcraft craze died after many
many innocent women and men were
prosecuted.

all know that Santa Claus does not
always give useful presents, such as
stockings, mittens, so the members Of
the Christmas Stocking club can sup
ply these needs. All one has to do to
become a member of the club is to
give a nice pair of well filled stockings
or a small amount Of cash.
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also toy, an orange, a pair
of mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. Many of the Juniors fill both
stockings. On the card with the do
nors name put the age Of the child for
whom the stockings are intended.
We will publish the names of the
members of the club every day until
Christmas. We do not want the
stockings until the week before Christ
mas but we will be glad to have the
names of the children and groWnups.
who care to belong to the club right
away. Juniors and grOwnups living at
distance can send pair of stockings
also little money.
We are so glad to have the grown
ups interested in the club. These gifts
may seem small but they bring untold
pleasure to many needy little children.
The stockings will be left just as
the donors bring them In, and will be

Underground Railroad =
David Hammond

| wonder If the Juniors would like
to hear story about the underground
railroad?
My great grandfather was con-
ductor on the underground railroad.
He used to get in covered wagon at
night loaded with slaves from the
isouth and drive about thirty miles in
one night to another house called a
station in the underground railroad
toward Canada. One night four
marshals came to the house and
searched it for runaway slaves. But
they had gone and were hiding in the
brush. Then they went to another
house and got one man and took him
back into slavery. And then some Of
the neighbors went with grandfather
to get the man back They did not
get the man, but they got two of the
marshals and took their revolvers and
knives and kept them till daylight
land then let them go.
must tell you that this happened
before the civil war. My great grand
father lived in Ohio then The U. s.
marshals came to catch grandpa and
punish him for breaking bad law.
One time they came to hunt him. They
had looked all through the house. My
uncle. then a little boy said: 'I'know
one place you have not looked"
"Where?' asked the marshals. 'In
the bottom dresser drawer He
answered laughing.
One dark night when they were
hunting for him he got on one side Of
la stream and they were on the other
side and he threw rocks at them and
made them run. They kept following
him up for about year and a half.
then he came to Iowa and they quit
hunting for him.

they had to pick the seeds out by
hand and they couldn't get so much
taken care of as they do now
They are named after the country
they are raised in, such as American
cotton, Of which there are different
kinds; Peruvian red cotton, Peruvian
white cotton. India cotton, Brazilian
coffin, Egyptian cotton, and Sea
Island cotton, which is the finest cot
ton. 1t has nice glossy look and is
very fine. Many nice cloths are made
out of it. 1t is much finer then any
other cotton 1t is raised on the
islands, chiefly on the islands on the
coast Of the Carolinas and Florida.
One pound of this cotton can be spun
into over 100 miles Of thread. This
cotton is used in the manufacture of
the finest fabrics and threads.
