placed in the stream.
There door is always be6w the
water. AS cold freezing weather would
freeze up their door.
The dam is made of logs which they
cut down with their teeth.
And mud and stones which they
work in between the logs. There is
great many beavers live together IN
their chances So it doesn't take long
to build one. They cut most OF their
food in summer so that it can noat
down the stream to their home. Tney
also lay up their food for winter.
During the winter their mud houses
freeze quite hard and prevent the vol
VERNE, their greatest enemy, except
man from breaking through and catch
ing them.
The fur of the beavers is very val
liable. They make costly hats which
every one likes to own. The hunting
season is in the winter. The hunters
use spears, the beavers run out and
hide along the bank. The length OF
the beavers is 31a feet.

BENJAMIN Franklin School
Composition By Floyd
McGlOthen

BENJAMIN Franklin was born in Bos-
ton, Mass January II, 1906.
When he was ten years old, he was
taken from school, and put to work In
his fathers shop, but he did not like
this work. He was then sent to work
for his brother who was a printer.
Here he secretly wrote articles for
his brothers paper and slipped them
under the door at night.
After a while his brother was put in
prison for printing something in his
paper that the people did not like. So
then Benjamin became publisher of the
paper
When his brother got out of prison
BENJAMIN decided TO go to Philadelphia
where he soon found work.
The governor of Pennsylvania told
Zen amin that he would set him up in
the printing business and advised him
to go to London to buy his presses, but
the governor never sent him the money.
After returning to Philadelphia he
bought paper called the Pennsylvania
Gazette which still exists, but is now
called the Saturday Evening Post. He
was also the publisher of Poor Rich
ards Almanac.
In 1870 he was married to Deborah
Read
He was elected member Of the con-
tinental congress. He helped to draw
I'D the declaration Of independence and
signed it.
He was elected governor of Pennsyl-
vania twice and died in $780,
This is my school composition.

Good for the Mayor
Esther Anderson

1t was in large city at a station
where little girl was selling apples.
Trade was very dull and she tried
to sell all she could.
A gentleman was standing at the
end of the train, when to her surprise
he asked for fifteen cents worth of
apples.
The girl gave him the apples and
he fumbled in his pockets and just
then the train started and he stepped
aboard.
Clara ran after the train but it was
of no use for he was dishonest look
ing man.
Clara came back crying and the
mayor. who knew this man, said to
her, Don't cry, Clara, will give you
your fifteen cents"
He gave her quarter and received
ten cents worth Of apples.
Very soon in small town store
was broken into and it was soon found
to be the apple thief.
While he was young he would steal
small things and when he grew older
he went to stealing larger things.
He was brought before the jury and
was sent to the penitentiary.
The mayor took the girl to raise and
she never had to sell apples again.
After he was out in two and one-half
years, the thief thought that his trip
to the penitentiary had done him
good and he did not cheat another
apple seller out of the small sum OF
fifteen cents.
