His name was Peter. and he lived
in Goderich. Ontario, Canada. where
his real owner was Mr.. r.. r. Swal-
lows; but all the school children in
town felt that Peter belonged to them,
because he went to school with them;
at least. he visited the class rooms
and learned good many things from
the boys and girls, as you will see
when you read what Mr.. James
Mitchell. who is editor of the Goderich
Star. and who kindly sent us Peters
photograph, has to say of this accom-
plished crow:
Peter learned to talk from the
school children, as he spent great
part of his time around the grounds
of one of the public schools. AT last
he became so tame that he would sit
in the open window of a school
room and chatter. until the teacher
would have to drive him away. Many
ofhis expressions were those he heard
the children say: Come on, Hurry
up, you'll be late or L don't know
what you say or Go to 1t. boy, you're
doing well'--this last from their ball
games He could laugh like a hearty
fat man, and many time some
passerby would stop and look around,
wondering who was talking to him,
as Peter called out something from
his perch in a tree or on a house
top

form OF a hench-legged. undershot

lube is the name Of the Acacia S
mascot and there was a vail OF pro-
test when lube was brought home,
for he was an ugly little yellow bull

him save a well-proportioned body
and n vigorous appetite.
But from the time OF his arrival
Jube began to show his good qualities.
He manifested all the traias of an
iaffectionate and obedient canine pet.
with the addition OF promising apti-
Itude for tricks,
lube was only two years old when
the university students, numbering
2,70o, had their last annual water

mascot of the Acacia, regardless OF
his youth. took a conspicuous and

And many time By the shore you
Turtles on sunny logs recllned.
Sweet flag grows by the banks in

And in number of other spots:
The reeds are thick wherever you
fare.
And the cattails wave their tails in
air.
The kinghshers live on the wooded
side.
And they know just where the min
nows hide:
And often heron comes flashing
down
From up in the marshland, green
and brown.
The darning- needles fit to and fro.
But they can't sew your ears up tight.
you know:
Like aeroplanes they sail around.
But they don't turn over and strike
the ground.
I've fished a lot. and I've not caught
much,
Perch and sinners and dace, and such:
But it's fun just to sit with your line
thrown out
And watch the curious things about.
I've heard of the sea and the big
steamships
And I'd like to go on some ocean
trips;
But here there liz fun Of which I'm

There was little girl named Lucy.
Her mother and father were both
dead After her mother died, her
aunt took Lucy to live with her But
her aunt was so wicked and mean
that II caused Lucy a great deal OF
trouble and unhappiness. One day
she was sitting on the roadside cry
ing. and rich lady came along and
asked her what she was crying abCsit.
She said she was crying because her
mother and father were both dead,
and that she had no home. The lady
took her to her home and gave her
some bread and meat She gave Lucy
home. The lady that gave Lucy
a home had two girls and two boys.
Lucy was so good and kind that every
one loved her, She lived happily all
her life.
