in this place We got here at dinner
time and we saw them feeding the
animals. One mamma lion had two
little baby lions and it would not eat
any meat until the baby lions had fin.
ished eating. Uncle bought me some
peanuts and 1 gave some to the ele.
plants. There was a chain around
his foot SO he could not get away but
the man who took care OF him sald
he would lift me upon his back II
wanted him to. But, mamma, ne was
so big l was afraid would fall of, SO
did not let him.
We stayed out in the park most OF
the afternoon and saw everything, but
the bears. Uncle said we would come
over again and stay until we saw ev'
erything. So, mamma. don't have me
come home until have been to the
park again.
With love to papa and the baby.
Your loving daughter,

The Pet of an Ohio
Town

Shep is a Scotch collie of unusual IN
telligence, belonging to Mrs. Olive B.
Mackan, proprietor Of the Advocate OF
Plain City, Ohio. Her husband Is su.
perintendent of the electrict light and
water plant at Marysville, and while
holding a similar position In Plain
City, when on his rounds in August.
1907, first met Shep, then astray, and
took him to the Advocate office. The
dog at once became the pet of the own
ers and employees, and Is now the fay
orite of the entire bevy of school chill
dren and all animal lovers Of the town.
He soon learned to ride in his mas
ter's auto, and seemed already to know
how to carry packages. He woulo
carry mail from the postott1ce, ana
would take penny in his teeth ana &c
to restaurant alone and bring BACK
to the Advocate office a sack OF candy
He has never been known to be cross
but will not allow any one to take ms
candy. He will put his paw on the
sack and hold it fast. He will tear
the paper and eat the candy piece by
piece. Many a penny the school child
rem have sacrificed to see Shop go Tor a
treat, and many a travelling man VINO
would not believe Shop would know
where to go has given him nickel to
be shown.
Shep will play hide-and-seek, go up
stairs of morning and wake the fam.
lily, watch parcel left in his care, ano
on cold winter nights, upon being ler'
in the house, has walked up his mis-
tress when he thought the stove was
too hot.
He will come and look straight a,
YOU and then walk to the hydran'
when he wants drink, and will wac
his tail in thanks and look up with
most innocent eyes before drinking
He will not drink stale water, but mas
to see you get it fresh. He Will ca
everything his master and mistress 40
and Is never forgotten when there Is
ice cream, candy, or fruit. When mem
bers of the family have been away on
the train, Shep has been on the plat
form at the station upon their return
and would walk leisurely by their slde
as if he came on purpose to mee'
them.
He seems to understand every WORD
said to him. Meat can be left within
easv reach and he never molests IL
shep is old now, but his owners are
especially kind to him, for they 1eel
that no other dog can fill his place.

ed Alan-a-Dae, anxiously.
"Ooughtn't we to draw circle
around the fire." suggested Little
John.
"No, a pen-pen-pentacle," suffered
Robin Hood himself N.
The Friar stopped.
I'm surprised, comrades" he said,
severely. "You are not afraid OF a
screech-owl, are you?"
"N-n-n-ooo," quavered Will Scarlet,
1T you're sure its an OWL"
Certain sure" asserted the Friar,
and gave the call again, this time with
q long tremolo note at the end. Be-
yond the freight drifted dark form
on those muffled, silent wings, so fatal
to many a rowing deermouse and
meadow-vole. The fireshine made an
enchanted circle equal to any drawn
by enchanter's wand Around and
around the light, but never across 1t,
SKINNED the owl and ever gave Its
cry the sweetest, weirdest Of all the
night-notes.
Finally it lighted on a nearby tree
and commenced little grooming call,
the love song of its kind, which the
Friar could only approximate. IT
waited for an answer, giving at times
another little squawking note which
was also beyond the Friar. At last,
disguised with his clumsy attempts to
continue a conversation so we'll be-
gun, it melted silently away into the
darkness.
Anything after that performance
would be an anti-c!imax the Band
felt. Water was poured on the blaze
and earth heaped over the Kissing EN-.
hers and under the sullen fare OF
Acturus and the light Of Regulus, AL.
gieba, Spica and the other stars OF
spring. the Band started homeward
through dim wagon-roads and flower
scented lanes. Will Scarlet and Little
John frankly claimed either hand OF
the Friar, and In the darkest places
even the redoubtable Robin himself
casually took possession Of an unoccu'
pied thumb.

Tea Grows

In China they grow so much tea and
am going to tell you how it grows.
The tea plant grows four feet high,
tame tea. But the wild tea grows thir-
ty feet high. The best tea name Is
Souchong and it takes three years to
grow. Then they pick the leaves three
times and they take the tea to the tea
merchant and he picks out all the dead
leaves, dries it and rolls it up.
Then they ship them to Europe,
then from Europe all over the United
States. Holland was the first people
to know about tea.
Tea looks like cherry blossoms. In
America the people did not know any.

Of tea. And that is where we get our
