The Beaver-a School Com
position by Harold Turk

Courier Junior: The beaver is one Of
the oldest animals Of American and
European countries The American
beaver in the southwestern states
along the Rocky mountains, Colorado
and Wyoming, are of a reddish cast.
In northern Canada they are as dark
as offers. The male beaver weighs
from thirty to thirty-five pounds. The
female weighs from thirty to forty-five
pounds. Both sex are about forty
inches in length.
The principal food of these animals
is bark of deciduous trees, coarse
grass, pond lilies, etc. They are very
strong for their size. Their eyes are
very small and ears are short. They
can see at a short range only and de-
pend on their hearing at all times
In daytime they stay below the sur
face of the water. After dark they
bring in their food to their huts or
better known as their homes.
They build dams after dark They Of
ten cut down trees from four to twelve
inches in diameter telling large trees
into the water as near the dam as they
can. cutting the large trees into

this being the kind of material used
in building dams and houses. The
male. carries all the material to the
place where it is to be used. Dams al
ways reach from bank to bank and
keep supply Of water.
The cry of young beaver is just
the same as that of young baby.
Please note that beavers never use
their fore feet when swimming.
The beaver tail Is trowel shaped and
from six to nine inches long used as
a rudder when swimming.

The Favor;te Doll

OH my dolls we're many when I was
young,
Blue-eyed, brown-eyed, and gray;
But the little rag-doll to which l chung,
I love to this very day.
Now if you should climb up the attic
stairs,
And open the trunk to the right,
'~--nd peep in the lid as you should be
bid,
IN afraid you might call her sight
Or Posy is old, with scar on her
chin,
And her cheeks are as white as the
wall;
But please understand that to me she
is grand,
And I love her the best Of them all
Oh, never time have I climbed to bed
When my age was, I think, about
seven, ....
But close to my breast she would cud'
die and rest,
While my little prayer flew up to
heaven.
I'd an Indian doll and bride and
groom;
A Dinah, a baby and nurse,
A talking doll and walking doll,
And one with silver purse.
But far and above and beyond the rest
That lie in the drawer near the wall
Is the little rag-doll that love the best
She's the dearest-the sweetest of
all! Maxwell Williams.

What a Clean Face Did for
PetrO

Dear Juniors and Editor:-I am a
new Junior and / thought would write
On composition. This one is story
of Petro, an orphan boy.
Once in the great city of New York,
a ragged and dirty little news boy was
selling newspapers.
He had been selling them for about
two or three weeks. There was GER
tain house in which a crippled old
lady lived whose name was Mrs.
Smith.
Petro had been selling papers to
Mrs. Smith for quite few days.
One morning as Petro passed her
window she asked :"Petro is there
any water where you live?''
Eyes, MAN, said Petro, there is
We'll, if you would use little on
those little hands and face you would
look much better
All right said Petro.
The next morning he came his face
and hands were shining with bright
ness, caused from the hard washing ne
had given them.
How much better you look this
morning" said Mrs. Smith. The next
morning she brought two papers IN
stead of one and gave him two pen
1ies she said one was for her friend.
Mrs. Smith said to Petro IF you had
a new suit do you think you could
keep it clean
Yes mann, could answered Petro'
The next morning instead OF buying
papers of Petro Mrs. Smith handed
PeIro a large bundle in which was a
Few suit and new shirt, How glad
petro was Mrs. Smith told him to
keep his boots as clean as he could and
SO he did.
His new boots had not come yet but
were expected the next day or so.
In a morning or so they came and
she gave them to PetrO and in the bot
tom Petro found nice new necHtle.
In & day or so the man at the stand
told Petro he had another boy to sell
papers around the street and he want
ed him at the stand.
Petro couldn't thank Mrs. Smith
enough for her kindness and in teach
iEg him to be clean.
think this is a good lesson to some
children don't you Juniors?

The Station at Train Time
By Nicola Morrow

It was time for the 4:30 train and
the people were coming to the station.
The station was new one and was
made of brick. The ladies' waiting
room was cased half way up the wal!
with marble and the children were
playing on the tile floor. The station
was brilliantly lighted with electric
lights. OF all the people at the sta
ton, an old man interested me most.
He was very old and had long,
white hair. He was going to visit his
daughter, and had missed his train
that morning. so he was anxious to
get away on this one.
Soon the train came in and man
began to yell the number of the
train, which track it was on, and
which way it was going. The news
boys were yelling Extra, extra, big
flood in Ohio" and the cab drivers
were calling Cab, cab while the
people were hurrying to get on the
train.

The Monkey, the Cat and
the Chestnuts

A monkey and a cat sat by the fire
one day. Their master had put some
chestnuts before the blaze and they
had begun to crack with the heat.
"Ah!" said the monkey how good
those chestnuts smell. My dear friend
cat your paws are just like our mas
ter's hands why do you not try to pull
cne from the fire?'
This pleased the cat so that she
forgot to be careful. She put out her
paw and rolled hot nut out of the
fire In doing this she was burned a
little but what of that. How nice it
is to have hands like man. Why
DO you not try to get another one. Do
try again.
So the cat tried again and again,

A Fable - Harold Turks
First School Composition

Once upon time a rabbit saw tor
toise. He said, what slow way you
have.
The tortoise said, try a race with
me and will beat you.
SO the rabbit said, who will put up
the bounds and the prize?
Let us go for the fox, he is very
wise and fair, said the tortoise.
And SO the tortoise lost no time in
going to the end Of the race.
The first thing the rabbit did was
to lie down and take nap, cause he
knew that he could come to the end
in two or three jumps.
By and by the rabbit awoke from
his nap and then he ran very fast.
But the tortoise said, "Slow and
steady wins the race

Loren Stranger Writes a
Composition on Nutting

Dear Editor:
One November day several of the
bows in the town where once HVed
wanted to go nutting. They met one
evening and decided to go the coming
Saturday.
The bows were up at the break of day
and after eating a hasty breakfast took
their gunny sacks in one hand and their
lunches in the other and started out for
a day Of fun.
They hired a team and wagon of one
of the boys fathers. The team was
rather frisky and when they got out
on the country road their speed was
not slow. The boys were not used to
driving and did not know very much
about managing a team.
They arrived at Walnut Grove all
right and soon the lunches were put
under tree. They then fastened to the
place where the nuts were.
They picked away until the sacks
were about half full when one of the
bows said something about being hun
CRY. w
The boys said they all felt a little
hungry too They fastened to the place
where the lunches were and you may
be sure they were not long in opening
their packages.
What a look Of dismay came over the
boys faces when they saw that over
half Of them had brought pickles. Then
there was quite laugh. The pickles
and the rest Of the food was quickly
consumed and they hurriedly went back
to gathering nuts.
About o'clock the sacks were filed
The team was hitched up and they
started back to town. Each one was
very happy over their days outing and
the nuts they gathered

of Penny Savings System

Dear Juniors:
I have read the Daily Courier since

years ago January Is. I want to tell
the little Juniors about the Penny
Savings system established in the
Clinton public schools less than four
years ago. and in that time the chill

The children need no longer to be
urged. They are saving of their own
free will
Many Of the little ones are saving
for their future wants, some for
pianos, some for college education,
and some to see how much they can
save.
The system itself is one of sim
plicity. The scholars bring their pen

a savings stamp for every penny
brought in.
The penny savings system works
best with the primary pupils, who
think they have really bought some.

Many little ones save fifty cents

Doris Gray's Composition
"A Day in the Country"
Dear Editor:
I
This is my school composition.

Dear Editor:
This is my school composition.
"A day in the country.
One day my sister and I planned to

die of December, and we took our
skates I.l" E#
1t was about nine o'clock when we
arrived at my uncle's home The
first thing we did was to get warm
We then went to the pond which
was about half mile from the house.
The boys swept the snow Off the pond
as it had showed the night before.
! could not get my skate on so my
Cousin Herbert fixed it for me. Whe
it was fixed We began skating. AS /
had never skated before, I fell several
times. ] soon learned to skate though,
and enjoyed it very much
1t seemed to me just about half
an hour when we heard a bell ring. I
said, what is that?' my cousin an.
swered, lit is the bell calling us to
dinner. .s@@
We then took off our skates and
Went to the house. When we arrived
at the house it was five minutes after
eleven. Aunt Rosetta said, go in and
warm while finish getting dinner
ready" We went into the sitting
room and were planning what we
would do in the afternoon when Aunt
Rosetta called us to dinner.
After dinner We went to the pond.
There was a large hill near the pond
so we coasted for awhile and then
|skated.
About two o'clock it began to snow
and Herbert said, let's go and hitch
up old Nell and Fan and take bob
ride.
We all thought this good plan and
so we went to the house The team
was hitched and we started for a
ride. ... ....-.
At four o'clock we started for home
in the bob sled and it was five o'clock
when we got home. My sister and
both said we had had a very good
eime. o

Lois Marguerite Hale Wis
tied in Lincoln

Dear Juniors: AS have never writ
ten before I thought would write now
I took trip to Lincoln, Neb., in the
fall of 1910 to visit my cousin, Esther
Pierson.
Lincoln is a beautiful city. I en-
joyed visiting the beautiful sights. We
went from there to Omaha. While
visiting there we saw in station a
pool of goldfish in it. I said wish I
had fishing rod SO could catch some
of the fish.
I didn't get to visit many sights in
Omaha. l enjoyed my trip fine there
and both going and coming.

Now l must go home to the children

Now l must go home to the children
as fast as ! can go!'
Mrs. ORIOLES children behaved as
well as they looked on Thanksgiving
day at grandma's, and that is saying
great deal, considering that the
twins wore blue velvet coats and
Maggie O'Toole's white dress was
fluffy with lace frills.
AS for Mrs. O'Toole, she became so
fond of sewing and Of being kind
that she gathered orphan dolls from
all the neighbors' attics and had
dressmaking parties every afternoon
and Saturday before Christmas, that
the orphans might go we'll dressed to
children's hospital in Uncle Peters
mothers town. Those hospital dolls
were called Mrs. O'Toole's children"
ever after.
