Ardath Meader Writes
Interesting Story
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Once there was a little girl. She and
her mamma went to her grandmas to
spend Christmas. Her grandpa lived in
a brick house that had an old fashioned
fireplace.
At night she hung up her stocking.
She woke up and heard noise. She
asked her grandma what it was. Her
grandma said it was Santa, SO in the
morning she found her stocking full Of
candy, fish and cookies. She thought
she had the time Of her life. This hap
pened on December %, 1870 at Keosau-
qua Her grandma's name was Mar
garet Fostnot. The little girl was my
mamma.
I will close now.

ROSA BONHEUR

Rosa Bonheur was born in France.
She was French painter of animals.
Rosas mother died when she was only
seven years old. So Mr.. Bonheur had
sent her to school because she would
run away in the fields. Rosa was made
fun Of because she was so dirty. Then
Rosa made comic pictures and gave
them. When the teacher found this out
she was sent from school. Then Mr..
'Bonheur had to hire a girl to take care
of Rosa so she would not run away in
the fields. She died in 1915 in France.

NO LONGER KNOWN
AS "EAsY oDDIE"

Since Governor Oddie took Office
four years ago he has had many a
hard nut to crack and it was usually
his Democratic friends that got him
in trouble. Being cf sociable and
affafle disposition and believing that
he was under obligations to some Of
his Democratic as wellas Republican
friends he found it hard at times to
say No, and for this some of his ene-
mics fastened the name of Easy
Oddie' on him. But in the last year
the governor has demonstrated that
he is not the Easy Oddie" they
would have the public believe, as on
numerous occasions he has been firm
in his denials. He was the only mem
ber OF the board of pardcns to deny
| the application of NJ r. Pr ston for
a pardon and it is due to his firm
stand that the murderer Of John Silva
was not granted an unconditional par-
/ don. This matter was made an issue
in the last election in certain see
tions of the state and the voters Of
the state will not forget the action
