city in Egypt, which he called Alex
andria. In this city he caused to be
built a vast circus for the entertain
ment of people. No modern mind can
conceive the vast barbaric splendor and
glory of these gigantic public spec
tacles. Within this great amphitheatre
$4,000 spectators could be seated. Here
the gladiators and Wild beasts fought,
much as they did for the ancient Egyp-
tian kings.
The King of Albania, province lying
between the Caspian and Euxine seas.
possessed two enormous dogs of new
and rare breed. They were very power
full and would attack only lions and
elephants. Hearing of the contests in
the circus at Alexandria, the King sent
one of these dogs as a present to
Alexander, but neglected to tell him OF
the dogs great courage.
The size and beauty of the dog APP
pealed to Alexander, and he lost no
time in trying the courage of the ami
NAL in a contest with wild beasts. But
the dog, knowing his strength, ignored
the largest bears and the fercest wild
boars. This apparent cowardice on the
part of so noble appearing a dog dis
gusted his new master, who had him
put TO death and sent a sarcastic &C
acknowledgement of the gift to the King
of Albania.

Quickly the Princess Aria sprang tc
/ her feet and ran into the woods. Well
she knew that the hickory stick was
awaiting her if she did not! So she
began to gather sticks and twigs for
firewood, and as she gathered she sang
to herself little song:
Green Bird, Green Bird, tell to me,
Who shall rule in the Kings country?
Who shall take me from this place?
/ Shall see my fathers face?"
! And out of the forest. as if in an
swer, came the last of the Green Birds
song: "Will! Will"
But, ere the Princess had gone far,
she came to a tall cherry tree, from
whose branches hung great punches Of
shining red cherries. oh" thought
the little maid "If could only have
a few! They are so juicy; and l am so
thirsty" Hardly had she spoken
when there stood before her beau
tiful boy in the costume OF a page.
"Let me pick you one" he offered with
a smile. "These are the Cherries Of
Happiness. If anyone eats dozen OF
these he will always be happy. l shall
pick you one" He leaped and caught

The boy laughed "When you bring
me the head of the Green Whip-poor-
WILL" he declared, and for a moment
his face, that had been beautiful, be-
came very cruel and selfish.
"Oh, could mott" exclaimed the lit
tie Princess in shocked surprise.
The boy laughed again. "Ill be here
again in a few minutes" he promised.
"You must have it for me then. Think
Of being always happy" Before she
could speak he had disappeared.
Then was the little maiden sorely
puzzled and tempted. What should she
do? She had been so unhappy; and
the other eleven cherries would bring
her eternal happiness! From out Of
the woods came a clear call whip
poor Will! Whip-poor-Will!" And the
Green Bird flew to her feet. He was
hurt. One of his legs was held close
up to his body, and he perched so pitt
fully on the other, while he peeked up
at her with his bright black eyes, that
the little Princess was filled with pity.
The one red cherry was still in her
hand. "If twelve cherries will make
me always happy" thought she, then

Bird happy" And she tossed the bit

Alexander the Greats
Famous MOlOssiam Dogs

The King, chagrined at this turn OF
affairs, then sent his remaining dog to
Alexander, informing him at the same
time that it was the only dog OF its
kinda conqueror of all animals-and
he suggested that Alexander try him
with beasts worthy of his mettle. Alex
ander was proud of owning a dog un-
like any other known, so he made this
animal favorite.
A trial was given the dog in the
arena, and he killed lion and so
harassed a fierce elephant that the
beast fell, overcome and exhausted and
unable to rise and protect himself. This
proof of courage showed Alexander
that he had been unjust to the other
dog. From then he became the pro-
tector and admirer of all dogs. He
soon possessed a great number and had
them adorned with rich trappings and
ornaments and led in procession before
him. He built a beautiful city where
his dogs were royalty provided for and
magnificent temples were erected to
their memory.
These famous dogs have in modern
times been called Molossian dogs, be-
cause it is commonly thought that they
came originally from Molossia, a dis
trict of Epirus. Alexander's dog was
undoubtedly the original of the breed
now known as the Great Dane.

prevailed and he started on his
journey. While on his way home, Hia.
watha thought Of the pioneers and
their love for him, so he determined to
go back TO them. II wasn't till he had
neared his native village that he made
this decision, and his father, the chief
of the tribe, had seen his son approach
ing. When Hiawatha suddenly turned
about and started in the opposite di-
rection, the father decided TO follow
him to see where he went.
Seeing Hiawatha enter the cabin Of
the pioneers, he became angry and
forcing his way into the house, he
pulled his son out and took him back
TO the Indian village. The chief then
held council with his advisers. Hiawa-
tina, who was not supposed TO attend
these councils, was anxious TO know
what this one was about, because his
father had been so stern and grave.
So he crept up close to the council
tent and listened. And what he heard
was that the chiefs had decided TO Kill
his friends, the pioneers.
In the meantime the pioneer and his
son had gone 10 a nearby trading post
to trade the furs of their winters
catch. Thus only the wife and daugh-
ter were at home when the young Ind
ian rushed in and told them of his
fathers plan, and that they would be
massacred unless they followed him.
Leading them up to the river he drew
canoe from under some bushes and
put them in IL, telling them 10 paddle
with all speed for the trading post
In order to give them time TO get away,
he went back to the cabin and barred
the door, deciding TO hold it against
the Indians.

of fruit to the Green Whip-poor-W Will.
With a strange cry the bird bounced
upon the red cherry and swallowed it.
Then a wonderful thing happened.
The Green -poor-Will disappeared,
and in his place stood the brave King
viii, smiling and well, with arms out
stretched toward the little Princess
Aria. And as the little maid sprang
into her fathers arms there was loud
explosion nearby. -,
What do you think it was? The old
witch, who had not been able TO kill
King Will, had had him transformed
into a Green Whip-poor-Will, and when
she saw the little Princess and the
brave King Will so happily united again
she had simply burst with envy and
malice. 1t was she, too, who had APP
peared before the Princess as the beau
tiful boy, to tempt her to kill the Green
Bird.
The Princess Aria, happy in her
fathers arms, looked up at him with
a smile. Isn't it good that l didn't
eat the Cherry OF Happiness myself,
she exclaimed. Because ! never would
have been so happy them" -.
But, of course, that is the secret OF
happiness. We always win 1t when we
give it to somebody else.

A Child of the Forest

I When they came to a small clear. G
| in the forest near which a spring rose
out of the ground. they stopped, and
| father and son set to work telling trees
for their cabin. In a few days it was
finished, and after furnishing it as best
they could with their + longings, they
abandoned the wagon as living place,
/ for the roomy cabin.
One day, returning from a success
| full hunt, the father was little uncer-
tain as to where he was and in which
direction to go. So he climbed huge
rock beneath sturdy pine to look
about him.
Suddenly he was startled by hearing
a moan which came from behind the
rock. Investigating, he found young
Indian with a severe scalp wound and
broken leg. The pioneer immediate
ly called his son, handed him his gun
and then picked up the Indian, put him
on his shoulder and started for home.
The Indian, whose name was Hiawa-
tina, was in very serious condition,
and it was only through the excellent
nursing he received at the hands Of
the pioneers wife that his life was
saved.
1t was to the little daughter, Doro-
thy, that he confded the cause OF his
injury. The tree out of which Hiawa-
tina had fallen contained an eagles
nest and he thought he would get some
fine feathers from some of the young
eagles. In climbing up Hiawatha
stepped upon an old branch, which
gave way, and he fell to the ground.
One bright morning after his recov-
cry was complete Hiawatha decided to
leave the cabin of the pioneers. They
begged him to remain, because during
the stay ne had entered their life just
as If he had been one of them. But

AN sure you all have heard Of
1 Alexander the Great, the Greek
- King. And am equally sure that
most of you never before heard Of
Alexander's wonderful dogs. | am
going to tell you about them, but first
must tell you something about Alex
ander himself.
He was the son of Philip and Olym-
pias, and was born in the year 1856 B.
c., which is more than two thousand
years ago. His most ardent passion,
even from childhood, was ambition. He
desired nothing more than glory and
fame. When news was brought him
that his father had taken some city,
or gained some great battle, Alexan-
der, instead of sharing in the general
JOY, would say: "My friends, my
father will possess himself of every
thing and leave nothing for us to do"
The most famous and learned teach
ers in Macedon were provided for his
education. The most important of
these was the Greek philosopher Aris-
totle. Alexander became proficient in
all his studies and acquired a convinc-
ing eloquence that gained for him the
love and support of all men.
This impetuous and ambitious prince
came to the throne at the age of
twenty, and, impressed by the homage
which had always been extended to
him, considered himself as one of the
immortal gods. Nevertheless, at this
period of his life he was a most ex-
emplary and lovable young monarch.
No king ever had more faithful and
willing subjects than did he, and he
was able TO set out at once with an
army to Conquer the world"
And he did, in twelve short years,
conquer almost the whole known world.
His victories made his name known and
feared everywhere. His subjects de-
stroyed and built cities at his com
mand.
Alexander employed Dimocrates,
great architect, to build a beautiful

VERY country boy knows the
r. woodchuck, for, in spite OF
the constant war made upon
him with dog and rife, his tribe
more than manages to hold its own,
and few, indeed, are the rocky hill
sides unscarrcd by his numerous bur
rows. There is deep-seated enmity
between dog and woodchuck, and
probably the boy knows no greater
pleasure than when the wild yap-
pings OF Towser and the startled
"chir-r-r" OF a chuck denote that
the dog has caught one away from
his burrow and driven him to the
precarious shelter OF stone wall.
Then follow a rapid tearing away
OF stones, a wild dash OF the dog, a
few brief shakes-and all is over.
Aside from the fact, though, that
the woodchuck is fair and often easy
game. it is rather hard to account
for this enmity; the poor animal is
harmless enough, except for the dan
ger that his burrows offer to the
legs Of the farmers horses. He lives
exclusively upon grass, grain and
vegetables, but the amount Of these
destroyed by an ablc-bodied chuck
in a season would be scarcely no.

During the settling of our frontier
in the West, a pioneer and his family
were travelling in large wagon known
as a prairie schooner. in the widest

his son, young man of eighteen years,
were slightly in advance of the wagon,
which the wife was driving with her
six-year-old daughter on the seat be
side her. They were seeking suitable
site upon which to build their log
