L. B. Hawthorne: There are
thousands of young men in England
who will not volunteer for the war
and they are derisively called slack
ers." The young women are hunt

white feather on each of the young

this country; when it comes to risk

put UP the white feather.

POEMS FOR OCTOBER.

The following poems have been select
ed for use in The Primary Grades of the
Public schools of Frederick county by
Miss Ella V. Krieg. Primary supervisor.
Come. Eittle Leaves.
Come, little leaves, said the wind one day :;
Come over the meadows with me and play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold;
Summer is gone and the days grow cold
Soon as the leaves heard the winds loud
call
Down they came t1uttering, one and all;
Over the brown fields they danced and
flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew
Dancing and whirling, the little leaves
went,
Winter had called them and they were
content.
Soon, fast asleep in their earthly beds,
The snow laid coveret over their heads
