His Best Friend Picture
Story BY Edna Carr

Jackie and. Billy, his best friend. were
walking along the road, when all at
once a car passed by.
Jackie called and called for Billy to
come back. But before he could get out
Of the way, the car had struck ana
killed him. Jackie felt sorry for Billy
was his best friend After crying out
BILLY" once, he ran to him and took
him in his arms and started towards
home.
His home was in two room house
in back alley. He was more fortunate
than most Of his friends for they lived
in large houses with many other fami-
lies. After reaching home he got box
and laid his dog in it. Then going into
the back yard he dug grave for MS
dear dog.
When Jackies mother came home
and found Jackie crying she asked
why he was crying. Then Jackie told
her Of the death Of Billy, and then told
her that the men were so cruel and hard
hearted they didn't even look back aft
err running over his best friend. Jackie
again burst into tears.

He Must Dig

He wanted a job, and like every one
else,
He wanted good one, you know:
Where his clothes would not soil and
his hands would keep clean,
And the salary mustn't be low.
He asked for a pen, but they gave him
a spade,
And he turned away with a shrug.
But he altered his mind, and, Selling
the spade-he dug!
He worked with will that is bound
to succeed, -...
And the months and the years went
along. ..s
The way it was rough and the labor
was hard,
But his heart he kept filed with a
song. . ST..
Some jeered him and sneered at the
task but he plugged
Just as hard as he ever could plug;
Their words never seemed to disturb
him bit-as he dug.
The day came at last when they called
for the spade,
And gave him q pen in it's place.
The Joy Of achievement was sweet to
his taste,
And victory shone in his face.
We can't always get what we hope for
Success cuts many queer jigs,
But one thing is sure-a man will sue
ceed-if he digs.

''Sorrowful Moments"
Picture Story BY Ruth
A. MiZer
Dear',JuniOrS:

Dear Juniors:
| will write story about the picture
that was in the paper. The best TUE
know is "Sorrowful Moments
Jimmy Smith was little BOY OF
about nine years old. His father was
dead and his mother was poor widow.
She had to work very hard to buy her
only son and herself bread.
Jimmy did not have very many play
mates. The children did not like to play
with him because he was 50 poor, ana
lived in a little hut on one of the poor
est streets. His only compa1on was ms
dog. Billy. Billy and Jimmy were great
chums. Jimmy often went on errands
for his mother, and Billy was always
frisking at his. side. They were al
ways happy when romping together.
One day as they were going on an er-
rand they had to cross street. They
got about half way across when a Dig
car came along Billy did not get out
of the way but stood in the street and
barked. Jimmy called but all In vain
The car came SO fast that Billy had but
little chance Of his life. Still Billy did
not move And then before Jimmy knew
what was going on Billy lay IN the
road dead. So Jimmy stands by the
road and looks at his old companion
and murmurs in great sorrow, Billy.

along two other people wished to get
on, Then, Just as Billy caught sight OF
the furniture truck, far ahead, the car
stopped at the "car barn and change
of "crews" was in order. Their present
motorman and conductor alighted and
two new men took their places-and
these men took their places very slow
ly; they talked and laughed with the
men whom they were relieving and
Billy chafed and clenched his brown
little hands, and made some remarks
through his teeth which his father
could not hear. ..-
After what seemed an age the car
started once more, but Billy had about
lost his interest in the race" The
truck was somewhere ahead, still
keeping up it's steady trundling, not
going very fast. but never stopping.
And now they had come to the out
skirts of the city. Here it seemed to
Billy as II somebody wanted to get on
or off every hundred yards. "Oh dear!"
he exclaimed. This horrid old car!
never saw such car. 1t just crawls!"
Mr.. Henderson smiled wisely. and
as they crossed into the crowded streets
Of the city he drew his little boy close
err to him on the seat, and said softly,
kindly: you see, Billy, it makes a
great difference about the stops. If a
carriage or a manor a boy,-keeps
steadily at the work he is doing, he
will get faster and accomplish much
more than he would if he moved fast
er but stopped and stopped and got
drawn aside by other interests. That is
the lesson Billy, which l thought we

position A Girl and
: a Boy ''

Dear Juniors: ~.
This is my school composition about
a boy and a girl. ,,..,-
Once upon a time there was 1lttle
girl and boy. Their names were Helen
and Harry. -.
Their papa and mamma bought them
dog for their birthday. They got a
new wagon for the dog to draw. the
dogs name was Rover. He was a Dig
dog.
Harry and Helen lived in the city.
After they came home from school they
hitched Rover to the wagon. Harry and
Helen went out for ride. While they
were riding along Rover saw cat
running across the street. He started
to run after the cat. The cat ran up a
tree close by lake. Rover ran over the
curbing. He broke the seat and wheels
off the wagon and threw Helen out and
broke her arm Rover pulled Harry out
and stood at the tree looking UP bark
ing. 1t hurt Harry's arm.
They walked home, leading Rover
and left the wagon there. When they
got home Helens mamma took her to
the doctor and had him set her arm.
Their mamma told them to be careful.
l think they will not want to drive
again very soon If he does that way.
