Holly Hunting by Verna
Turner, a California Junior

Dear Juniors! have enjoyed very
much reading your stories in the
Courier. / thought would add one to
the list about holly. That drew is the
California mountain holly. 1t is quite
different from the eastern holly. This
holly has large points on it where the
California mountain holly leaves are
like peach leaves except for little
rugged edge. The first part OF next
week crowd of us are going holly
hunting.
We are going to Mount Washington.
There is a large incline there which
goes way up the mountain almost
straight sometimes. It is fun to climb
but when you start to come down then
the fun begins. Sometimes you are up
and sometimes you are down. and
when you do get down you certainly
are ready for something to eat
But I love California. Merry Christ
mas~and Happy New Year to all my
Junior friends.

Damon and Pythias - BY
Mary Luttrell

Once upon a time there lived mar
named Pythias. Pythias had done
something that the tyrant did not like
He was dragged to prison. The day
was set when he should die. Pythias
asked the king if he could go to his
own country and bid his friends and
relatives good-by. The king laughed
and said, How can l know whether
you will keep your word
Pythias had friend whose name
was Damon. Damon said he would
stay in prison until Pythias came
back. So the king agreed to let him
60. So Damon was cast into prison
Day after day went by and Pythias
did not come back.
Damon said. eff Pythias does not
come back it will not be his fault"
At last the day came, and the hour
came. The jailer came to lead
Damon to his death. Just then
Pythias came in the door. He greeted
his friend and gave himself up to the
jailer. When the king heard this he
let the two men go free, and said
such friends as this should not be
parted.

WHY WE HAVE NEW YEARS.
Dear Editor

Dear Editor:
| thought would write you a story
of why we have New Years. New
Years is always on January fist. 1t is
nearly always cold on New Years day.
New Years day is always the first day
Of the year. Sometimes Santa Claus
comes on New Years. If he comes then
he nearly always brings his wife along
with him. Sometimes Santa Claus
brings toys and sometimes he doesn't.
Now the reason we have New Years
is because it is the first day of the new
year. Some people stay up till IL
o'clock to see the new year in and the
old year out. Sometimes they ring bells
shoot guns and make bonfires.
But I'm afraid they do not see much
even if they do stay up until II o'clock
Most people get pretty sleepy staying
awake until twelve o'clock to see the
OLD year out and the new year in. But
I'm pretty sure children would get
pretty sleepy.
T know my cousins waited one night in
December. 1t was on the 31st. They had
a party to keep them from going to
sleep. The next morning I asked them
what they had seen and they said they
didn't see much.
German church bell rang at II o'clock
and it rang from about II o'clock until
about 1890. So l think it must have
rung quite bit. So at - o'clock on
December 31st the old year passes away
and a new year comes. And so 1t Is, as
said before, we have New Years to
celebrate the first Of the year.

What Happened to Betty
and Polly-By Ruth Grow
DOGS WORTH e. $1,000.

Every year when the apple tree put
Every year when the apple tree put
on their white and pink dresses Bet
ty and Polly went to Uncle Johns for
long visit.
Betty and Polly were the same age
and the same size and each had blue
eyes and red lips which parted very
often to let laugh through.
Betty had brown and curly hair and
Polly had yellow and curly hair.
If you didn't notice this it was hard
to tell which was Betty and which was
Polly.
Every morning they went together
to feed the chickens. Betty went to
feed the pigeons and Polly went to
feed the ducks. The chickens were
tame and would eat the grain of corn
out of their hands.
But the ducks and pigeons were shy
and always waited till they had gone
|away.
One day Brown Wing the mother
duck was sitting in the shade of the
bridge with her three duclllings, Dow
my, and Fluffy and Topsy. She said
to them "Duckie dears that seems to
be very good little girl that brings
you such good breakfast every
morning. I think it quite safe and
better manners to go meet her every
morning.
So when Betty came with the corn
she held the pan and the ducks came
and ate it all up Betty could scarcely
believe her eyes.
Polly took the pan with the corn
and crumbs. The pigeons stood in
their tiny doorway and cooked their
heads at her. Then one brave pigeon
flew down and perched on the bench
and as Polly did not move two more
flew down.
Then silver the prettiest pigeon
spread his pretty white wing out, and
ate from Polly's hand, and as soon as
their dishes were empty Betty ran to
find Polly and Polly ran to find Betty
to tell each other what wonderful
things happened to them.
This is my school composition.

The Beaver - By Marvel
Kalista GOOkin

Dear Juniors:--1 thought would
about the beaver.
1t is found in North America, and in
the old world. In the winter five or
six Of the animals live together. They
can hardly get along without someone
with them. They are about three feet
in length and they weigh about forty
or fifty pounds. Their. tails have
scales on them, something like that of
fish and are foot long. They build
houses of sticks, stones, logs and mud
piled up into round little huts, and
then they push in on it to see if it is
strong enough and il it isn't they set
to work and fix it and after while it
becomes very strong SC that the water
cannot get into the house.
If the ice has frozen too high above
the door, the ice is melted they build
dome with long poles and after
which they begin to pile stones upon
it then it becomes very strong.
teeth. The color of their fur is a kind
of a grayish brown and they are found
near some stream or lake. They like
to have their rooms dry. They raise
the floor Of their houses some distance
above the water. Each beaver has
his own bed on the floor. They make
it of grass and moss. When winter
comes the mud freezes into a solid
mass and the beaver is kept from all
of his enemies.

Helen Johnson on ''Three
Little Kittens"

Dear Juniors:
This is my first letter to the
Courier I will write about "Three
Little Kittens"
The three little kittens all had
names, Fluff, Shipper and Buff. Fluff
Is a white kitten, with black spot
on his neck, and he was called Fluff
because Of his fluffy fur. Skipper is
a black kitten which is never quiet =;
he is everywhere at once.
Buff is black and white kitten and
is as lazy as he can be. He lays
around and never plays at all.
Now don't you think they are cute
by their description?
Well, | will have to close.

His class was going, to help hand
oranges and pull down things for the
tree. He began to picture the merry
party climbing the hill, and to wish
oh, how he wished!-that he, too, had
a gift, and could join them.
The evening wore on to 8 o'clock
the time for the tree.
81 want to see that sight-the little
ones getting their toys" said his
father. Come Robbie, we can't leave
you alone. Put your coat on, and I'll
help you up the hill"
Robbie went little unwillingly, but
he saw no way out. He left his preci
GUS book at home.
The tree was lighted when they en-.
tered. 1t looked rather bare little
tree, compared with yesterdays, and
Robbie was sorry. Somehow, the class
did not seem to have acted up to it's
first intention in the matter Fred
Jackson's skates were the two most
conspicuous articles, though the bags
of candy-many-colored candies in
bags of brightly hued net-cheered
things up a little.
The factory children were not par
| ticular. They chartered over their
poor little gifts-some not at all new!
with eager gratitude.
TOO bad some one didn't donate a
few books" Robbie heard the superin-
tendent say. 81 thought some one
would have seen to that
Then Robbie, who had been return
ing to his first desire to give, could
bear it no longer. One big boy, the
only disconnected recipient, was look
ing disconsolately at his share, a top
of many colors. That decided Robbie.
He slipped out of the house, and
! went down the hill. 1t was not easy,
but he reached his nome at last. He
knew where the key was hidden, I'M
der the mat. and he went in. There
lay the book! He wrapped it in paper,
and started up the hill!
This was more difficult! His crutch
slipped more than once, and he even
fell himself He wished that he had
taken his book with him!
At last the trip was over. Alas! He
was too late! The school house was
closed. the people were coming down
| the hill, laughing and talking, all ex-
cept the big boy with the top, who was
very quiet!
Robbie went up to him.
81 didn't get my gift here in time,
joe" he said. This book--it's for
you!"
Joe caught it eagerly. Boys who
have liberal uncles and aunts, as we'll
as fathers and mothers, to supply their
needs and even their fancies, cannot
! imagine how precious book can be
to one who has to give all he earns to
the family fund; who must think OF
rent and the grocers' bills, not of what
he wants.
"Say, it's fine!' cried Joe, standing
under a light, to look at it. There's a
picture Of Peary-and Captain Scott
He did not say thank you, for he
hardly connected Robbie with the gift!
1t was his share of the tree!
| Afterwards, Robbie knew that good
had come out of his delay. Two gen
| tlemen had decided to start a lending
library Of good books for the factory
lads. He was glad tonight, however
| for he found as much pleasure in pic
turing Joe's delight over the book as
he had in reading it,
None Of his class knew It, but ROBBIE
| had learned that it is truly more bless
cd to give than to receive!

The -Four Winds
(By Isabel Francis Bellows.)

Child.
Oh, who is this with scream and shout
That piles the snowdrifts mountains
high,
Who bites my ears when I go out,
And trumpets in the sky?
The North Wind.
Ohio! from wondrous Arctic sights,
From polar bears and northern lights
And the long dark Of Arctic nights,
I rush with hue and cry.
Child.
All who is this that smells so sweet,
And plays soft music In the air,
When grass Is green beneath my feet
And birds sing everywhere?
The South Wind.
I come from fragrant orange-trees,
From balmy islands in the seas,
From wild beasts lolling at their ease
Or blowing here and there.
Child.
Oh, who is this that brings the rain
And down the chimney finds his way
Who shrieks and bowls against the
pane,
AAu hCcpS iiC III All odJ
The East Wind.
The mighty ocean is my home.
! lash the water into foam,
And wall, when I on shore must come
Full Of the salt sea spray.
Child.
All! who is is that sings a song,
That makes me feel so glad and strong
When nights are short and days are
long,
And all the world is gay?
The West Wind.
come from heights where brooks are
born,
From fields of shining wheat and corn
I blow silver fairy horn,
And kiss you as you play
All the Winds.
We are the Winds of Heaven that blow
Forever ropnd the world we go;
Backward and forward, to and fro,
We blay "a blow and blow.
