acknowledged.

Copper Mines School
Composition - By
Teddy Canny

The country around Lake Superior is
rich in copper mines. The largest Of
these mines was discovered by pig.
The pig was lost from the drove to
which it belonged and fell into a hole.
The drover found the pig and was try
ing to get it out at the hole when he
noticed that the pig in roofing had
turned large mass of copper into
view. He showed the copper to some
miners and the next day the miners
began work. A great deal of copper
was discovered in that part Of the
country. Copper is used in making
many articles which are of much value
to US.

Dear Juniors:

Dear Juniors: :. .-..-.. ..
. I am going to write story about
Zone Beautiful Easter Day
Once a very long time ago when this
world was new, most Of the people were
very wicked. At last Jesus came to help
us. He went around when he was only
boy telling the people about GOD. HIS
father was carpenter and Jesus help-
ed him with his work. His mothers
name was Mary. When Jesus became
a man he told the people he was the
Son of God. People laughed and sneer-
ed at him.
At last he saw that the only thing to
do was to give his own life. The people
we're all against him In the garden Of
Gethsemane he prayed until the drops
of sweat on his forehead became blood
red. All the while his disciples slept.
The men carried him away.
He was made to carry a heavy cross
up on hill and then they nailed him
on the cross. They whipped him and
ieered him but he bore 1t ALI patiently
for us. After they had nailed him on the
cross he turned around and said to
John. one Of his disciples, take care OF
my mother '.....
After he had been dead three days he
arose from the grave. dr..
His disciples went around preaching
to the people and great number were
converted and baptized. Jesus did not
stay long on earth after his resurrec-
ton, He went away in cloud but he
told the people he would come again.
I think that was the most beautiful
Easter day of all, don't you? When
Easter comes I wonder if people always
stop to think why we have Easter.

before its adoption and shall
support its principle with sincere
pleasure. | wish to Join with my
fellow-Democrats in recommending
to the several states that they ex-
tend the suffrage to women upon
the same terms as to men.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

Penfold was hit hard but extraordinary
fielding by his teammates. especially the
outfielders, enabled him to escape with
only three hits of him. A peculiar break
happened In the second inning for Gar
diner. P. Talbot drew a pass after East
man had been retired. Moore singled
but was caught at second on fielder's
choice. Then Merrill drove low liner
to right that Pagan trapped. Umpire Al
len allowed the play as putout. AS two
were out, Pagan threw the ball to the
plate and this showed that he had not
caught the ball fair. Winthrop started
scoring in the first inning. Reddington
walked and took second on Gales sacri-
fee. He scored on Fagan's hit to left.
Pagan took second on the throw to the
plate. Wilson flied to center and Pagan
took third after the catch He scored
when Moore juggled Maxwelrs hit. Will
liams flied to P. Talbot. Williams scored
again in the fifth. Reddington rolled an
easy one to Moore and was out. Gale
walked, stole second and scored on Fa-
CAMS hit to right. Pagan was caught
irving to stretch his hit. Wilson flied
out.
Gardiner had two early opportunities
to score. Harry Lord started the inning
by doubling to center. Merrill drew a
walk Monahan went out, Wilson unas-
sisted Barrows was hit by a pitched
ball and he filled the bases. G.. Talbot
was out on an inield fly and Cobb fan
