What Would You Do ?

There are many times when one man
questions another actions and motives.
Men act differently under different cir
cumstances. The question is. what would
you do right now if you had a severe
cold ? Could you do better than to take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? 1t is
highly recommended by people who have
used it for years and know its value.
Mrs. o. E. Sargent, Peru, Ind, says.

its weight in gold and take pleasure in
recommending it." For sale by all

The Runaway = By Ruth E..
Daggett - A School
Composition

The runaway was tiny white dog
belonging to Madame Rainier. The
little dog, which Madame called Snow
ball because he was so small and
round and white, watched his chance
and one day when the butler was not
looking out he slipped. Never, in all
his short life, had me been out alone.
Either Madame or her maid, Hortense,
always took him for his daily airing.
Now he would make the most of his
opportunity to explore.
How such dog as SNOWFALL, with
his hne5 little harness, ever got so far
was never known, but at any rate he
found himself in the heart of the city
before long.
A thin, ragged little girl attrac ted
his attention and he shifted inQuiringly
at her heels. She stopped to pet him
but Snowfall darted into the street.
'Oh, the read thing" thought the
child and she went after him. Just
then Madame's own carriage drawn by
spirited horses drove up. The little
girl. slipped, the horses were startled,
and the wheels passed over the child's
unconscious form.
After all "All's we'll that ends well''
and, the little girl soon changed her
name to Rainier. for Madame once had
little girl and she had died. And
SNOWFALL, the naughty little runaway,
Is her very own.

How to Be Kind - BY May
Huffman

We should treat old people as kind
ly as we do young. We should be
cheerful, be honest. and we will be
happy. Never speak disrespectfully to
or Of anyone. There are children who
think it smart to throw stones at
doc or tie cans to it's tail. These are
the very first ones to howl when any
one touches them. There will be
time when they will have to suffer
for what they have passed on to 9th
ers. A boy or girl should not wish to
be paid for doing favor. There is a
time coming when we will be old, and
time goes so fast that l am thinking
it won't be very long coming.
Your old Junior,
..-. May Huffman, age II.

An Impolite Child a Disgrace
in Japan Nettie Lord

We got off of our steamer at Toxic.
We took a jinrikisha and went to the
place where we were going to spend
the day. We can see clear through the
house and see part Of the garden back
, of the house.
/ AS we go TO the house, a little maid
servant comes to the door. She gets
down on her knees and spreads heI
hands out and bows several times. This
means that we are welcome. She tells
us to take off cur shoes and come in. IT
would be very impolite not to take off
our shoes. 1t would be more polite to
, leave on our hats than our shoes We
go in and take our seats on the mats.
Soon some of the family come in
They bow to US and we bow back. We
soon get tired. They take their seats on
the mats.
They ask US to stay for dinner. But
tables like we do. Their tables are
about two feet high. Each one has his
own table The little maid servant
| brings US in some rice and tea. We
eat the rice with chop sticks. We draw
in the tea with long draughts. This Is
to show that we like it. When we are
done. we go into the parlor. where we
sit and chat. The neighbors come in
They bow to us and we bow back.
They bow to us. The children Of Japan
are very polite. 1t is disgrace in
Japan to have an impolite child. But
what is that the little girl has on her
back? 1t is her doll. When the children
are about nine or ten years old they are
| taught to carry the babies on their
backs. Often in the streets you will see
| children with babies strapped to theil
| backs When the baby gets sleepy i,
Low Is rI cH
! derS and goes to sleep.
! The japanese are very clean. They
| battle three or four times a day. The
little maid servant comes in and tells
us our bath is ready. We follow her
| Since we are their guests. we are asked
| to bath first.
| We follow her into a neat little room
The bath tub is of wood. There is 6
! little charcoal fire under it, 1t is barely
| steaming. We think it is just warm. We
take off our clothes and jump in. All
, how hot it is We sink to the bottom
half scalded. We jump up and get ou1
as quickly as possible. The little maiC
servant stands outside and laughs tt
see how red we get. The whole family
| battle in the same water. When all Of
the family are through the servants
| take their baths.
After we take our bath the servan,
!
ing to sleep The other servants go out
and shut the house up until it is like E
we'll closed box. All the ventilation
comes from the cracks in the corners
! of the wall.
But where are the beds? We have
! been all through the house and have
not seen any. They don't have bed:
like we do. They pull some bed clothing
out of some closets in the wall. They
turn the last comfort back for cover.
ing. We used them for a pillow. The,
! give us little block Of wood with
roll of soft paper on the top. We ar,
supposed to lay our neck on it and lie
our head hang down. We try it. Blu
it is Of no use. We can not do it. W.
take our coats and roll them up. W.
are soon fast asleep and dreaming o
home.

The Man and His Servant
BY John Cochran

Once there was a man who was very
rich and he had several errand boys.
One day he said to the eldest: go and
collect my rent for my houses"
SO the boy went and when he COL
lected all the rent he started home and
on the way he put his hand in his
pocket and discovered hole In it and
all the money but one dollar was lost.
The unhappy lad threw himself down
on the era SIS and cried bitterly. Soon a
man came along and said What is the
matter, my friend?" The boy told him
his troubles and said Never mind"
And then he called his dog to him and
said LET me see that dollar" And the
man showed the dollar to the dog and
told him to go and get them. The dog
went and brought them back one at a
time until he had all Of them. The
happy boy thanked him and went home
to his master
