THE FAMOUS WHISTLE.

Lear
Once there was little boy, trotting
about the streets here in Boston just
as you little folks are doing today. His
name was Benjamin Franklin. One
day his father gave him five pennies.
II will buy the most beautiful thing
in the world said Ben.
AS he ran out of his fathers shop he
met boy blowing on a whistle. That's
the most beautiful thing in the world"
thought young Franklin. He called to
the boy. "I'll give you five pennies for
your beautiful whistle
OF course the whistle was quickly
handed to him in exchange for the five
shining pennies.
He ran swiftly back into the shop
with his treasure, only to find that he
had paid five times more for it than
it was worth
He never forgot his lesson. Many a
time, when he was one Of the worlds
famous men. he would warn young
men. BE sure you do not pay too
much for your whistle"
AS my story is getting long will
close. Hoping to see my letter in print

FLOWERS Instead of Police.
man." Subject of Irene's
Composition

Dear Juniors: I am sending in a
school composition. The title is,
Flowers Instead Of Policemen"
In certain city in Germany there
was the statute of horse and rider.
The children in Germany used to jump
on it. and if not stopped all the bronze
would soon be worn off.
The officers put up iron railing, but
the children did not mind the railing
and jumped over It,
They then posted signs but the chill
drer did not notice them. An old
gentleman with family who knew
lots about children told the officers to
plant flowers, for children in Germany
are taught not to harm flowers.
I will close and if I receive postals
l will answer them.
Sincerely yours,
Irene Traul, age 10.

The Doings of Ralph Head
While He Was Out West

Dear Junors:- will tell what
did when l was out west.
First we got on the train at 4:30 p.
train till we got to Salt Lake City,
Utah. We got in a cab and went to
a hotel.
The next day we went out and look.
ed around. l can't remember all mat
we did see that day, but I do remem.
Ter We saw the Mormon temple. At
noon we went to the Norman taber-
nacle to hear the pipe organ.
can't remember all we did do. But
l will tell you about Salt Lake.
We got on the train. It did not take
long to get there. When we got
out there there was a merry-go-round,
lots of stands and lots of other things.
| rode on the merry go-round. I rode
on reindeer There was one boy who
was on the merry-go-round and the
train was ready to go, he jumped off
and pretty nearly got his leg under
it.
We got an ice cream cone and then
went back to Salt Lake City. We
got on the train and went to Cisco in
the heart of the Utah desert and rode
to my aunt's in a stage.
1t was forty miles and it took us
all day. I haven't much room so will
tell you how l spent the Fourth Of
July.
There were cowboys there who
would buy lots of fire crackers. All
morning that was all you heard In
the afternoon there were horse races,
foot races, dancing, wrestling and 9TH
er games.
l will tell you of deer hunt. We
climbed mountain and tracked a
deer. We saw the deer lying down
under a tree. We scared him; he got
up and began to run. Papa shot at
him five or six times, but missed him
so we had no deer meat.
We stayed eight days, but there
were the most interesting things
did. We then took the stage and
went to the train and went to Colorado
Springs. There we saw the Garden OF
the Gods and took the high drive.
These were about the most interesting
things done there. We then took the
train and went to Denver. We went
to the capital and went through the
museum. We then went to the city
park There were all kinds OF wild
animals. But the monkeys were the
most interesting. They would CONF
their hair before looking glass, eat
Watermelon, pick feas out of their
body and throw them on the people.
Then we started home and got here
the next day You can bet | was
glad to see Ottumwa.

EMPEROR oppERED A CENSUS.


The Roman emperor who ruled near
ly the whole world ordered census to
be taken in Palestine. The people were
to be numbered by tribes and were d.
rected by the law to go for enrolment
to the town where their family origin
ally dwelt. Mary and Joseph were
obliged to go to Bethlehem to nave
their names enrolled. The long wearl-
some journey lasted more than week.
for they walked eighty miles from their
northern home in Nazareth. At last on
cold bleak evening in December, they
climbed the hilly road into Bethlehem
and walked the narrow twisting streets
Of the town in search of the public
tavern. But the place was crowded, for
many had come to be enrolled. There
was no room for them at the inn. The
stable Of the inn was cave cut out OF
the soft rock and there they spent the
night.
In that wretched stable, on straw
spread for the cattle, far from home,
among strangers, on a cold winter night
Christ was born Fine miles away was
the great city of Jerusalem. None of
its many thousands knew of the Won
derful events. Bethlehem wrapped in
sleep saw and heard nothing But in a
plain outside the city some shepherds
were watching their flocks. To these
simple. honest men God made known
the mystery of the first Christmas
night. Behold an angel Of the Lord
stood by them and the brightness OF
God shone around them And the angel
said: This day is born to you Saw
Tor who is Christ the Lord, in the city
Of David. And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude Of heavenly
army prasing God and saying GLORY
to God in the highest. and on cath,
peace to men of good will.

from you. You must excuse my
delay in answering your letter as
had so many things to do for Christ
mas that l had no time until now. 1
still live on Wabash avenue in the
same house did before you left
You kept SO quiet up there, never
wrote to me, that l hardly knew you
were living. | have grown very tall
too, and you wouldn't know me as the
LA you used to play with. l am only
IN the last of the seventh grade now.
After examination which will be in a
couple Of weeks, I expect to pass into
the eighth grade. You wanted to
know when my birthday is. thought
you could remember that 1t is the
14th of May. l will be IA next May.
Do you like to live in Canada? l
would like to see you again, but
doubt if l would know you There are
not many of the folks living on Wa
bash avenue now that lived here when
you did. They have all moved away
and others have moved in.
There is snow on the ground now
and we have had some very cold days
You said it had not been very cold up
there. 1t has been as low as 10 de-
grees below here. I think that is
pretty cold.
You wanted my picture. l haven't
any of myself now but l would like to
have your picture if you have one. I
will send you one of mine as soon as
get another taken. l can't just re-
member exactly what you look like.
Wheatleys, Trouxalls, Thompsons
and ourselves are about the only
folks that live here now that lived
here when you lived on Wabash.
The last l heard of Nina Gale she
was clerking in the five and ten cent
store. Viletta Moss was back here on
visit this summer and was down to
see me. She hasn't changed much
and you would know her any time. She
hasn't grown very much, either.
Marie Swartz, you know her don't
you? She is still living on Ellis
avenue.
Well, as l can think of no more
