Loretto's Grandmother Had
Grandpa Build a Little
House

Dear Juniors:
I thought I would write you letter
about how I spent q vacation at grand
mas.
Grandma had grandpa build little
play house out in their yard. He made
an awful nice little play house with
three rooms, two doors, six windows
and little chimney.
1t happened that grandma had some
things which she played with when a
little girl. She had little stove, two or
three rugs four little rocking chairs,
little table, some small curtains. a
little kitchen cabinet and two beds just
about my size.
Grandma had these all stored up in
great box in the attic 1t took grandpa
all day Monday to build the house and
Tuesday we put up my little stove in
the kitchen, put down the rugs and
Strengthened it up nicely. Then We'd
nesday we moved in.
We cooked our breakfast, dinner and
supper there and slept there at night.
It was my cousin who was with me. We
had a little key to both doors and
slept and ate there until we went
home.
We dreaded to leave it but we had
spent three months in it and we had
to go back to start to school,

Our National Flag - BY
Florence Farquhar
of Charlton

Our nag was designed for the thir-
teen colonies which stretched like
Delt along the Atlantic coast between
the Atlantic and Appalachian noun
talns. These colonies were made nm Of
less than three million people drawn
together by common danger from the
Indians within and oppression without
Wnlcn threatened their liberties. The
nag now waves over nation extending
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf a.
Mexico and from the Atlantic ocean to
the Pacific ocean.
The flag is companionship and
sarety to us in a foreign land. Any CIT
zen or the United States must be cold
lndeed who can look upon it waving
IN the breeze without being proud Of
his country. We receive a new star every
time we have a new state. The two
colors blue and white signify union past
and present. The field Of blue with it's
stars represents union The thirteen
stripes represent the original thirteen
colonies which is past, and the stars for
the present forty eight states. Whether
or glorious men or great deeds ira
voice is forever of union and liberty OF
the constitution and laws. The very
colors have a language. The white Ia
for purity, red for valor and blue for
Justice. And altogether make a flag
to be cherished by all our hearts. to he
upheld by all our hands.

And it still pointed east
The men got up the next morning

The Kings Garden -
School Composition By
Dora Smith

Dear Juniors:
This is a school composition called
1.-The Kings Gardner"
Once there was an old king who had
beautiful flower garden. One evening
he was walking in the garden and
thinking how beautiful it was.
The next morning one of the kings
pages came to him and said Your
garden has been destroyed during the
night"
The king hurried to the garden. All
the roses heads were bent. All the
vines were lying on the ground and all
the trees leaves were fading. The king
said to one of the roses why do you
fade?" The rose replied why, roses
only last one day.
"Why do you lie there?" said the
king to the vines. I'VE have nothing to
do" said the vines and trees.
Then the king looked at his feet
There he saw little pansy and said
"Why aren't you fading?'
why, king, you put me here, and
I'm going to be the best little flower
that I can"
Then the king said "Do as much as
you can, if 1t is but little"
After that, there was never discon-
tent in the kings flower garden.

4 Clever Elephant

gentleman who lived in India for
many years tells an interesting story
of the cleverness Of an elephant which
he owned.
This gentleman had two small sons
to whom the elephant took great
fancy. So devoted was this elephant
that the father felt perfectly safe In
leaving his little boys in its care.
One day the elephant and the two
boys went off on a tramp together.
They remained away so long, however,
that the father became anxious, and
finally went to look for them. After
searching for some time he came to
the river bank and there funny sight
met his eyes
The great elephant was standing
knee deep In the mud, with a happy
small boy squatting on either side OF
him. and all three were fishing just as
hard as they could. The boys held their
rods in their hands, and their compan-
ion held his with his trunk. BY and by
the elephants line gave flop, and the
boys crowded up to see whether 1T real
ly meant that he had caught a fish. He
had. and while the big brute watched
them solemnly they pulled out the line,
detached the fish, and then, putting on
another worm. gravely handed the rod
back to it's owner.
