Cinnamon Pay Little Attention
To Idols in Their Joss Houses

making no noise but frightening
me very much.
When ! entered the temple, saw
an altar of stone in which they
kept sacrificial water. On either
side were rows of burning punk
sticks. The air was very oppres-
sive. Gigantic battle axes and big
war drums were on either side.
Fine silk draperies were used as
decorations. l walked into the
temple proper The idol was the
most beautiful piece of carving |
ever saw. 1t was made of evpen-
sive wood and inlaid with gems
and precious stones. The Chinese
did not show much reverence for
their idols, however.
Chinese children swarmed up the
stairs and soon were playing mer-
rily about the idols. After they
left, two Cinnamon noislessly came
out of a door which | had noticed
before and circled around the tenn
pie. Their presence and the heavy
atmosphere caused by the burning
punk and incense gave me an
uncanny feeling and | quickly
descended and left.
Two weeks later, Chinaman
ran amuck and smashed the prec-
ious idol with an axe. The Chinese
held mass meeting and decided
that the gods were of no use to
them in Canada, SO they refused to
contribute the money to have the
idol repaired.

Old Pitcher
Is HOnOred
By Mistress

The fine dishes and cut glass in
china closet liked to poke fun at
an old cream pitcher that was
never used. They could not under
stand why their mistress kept the
old dish, for she never used it.
When she invited her friends to a
dinner party, all the good dishes
would be brought out and placed
on the table and the guests would
admire them. Sometimes the old
dish felt disappointed that the mis-
tress did not use it at these affairs,
but then she would console herself
by thinking that she was lucky in
not being thrown away.
One evening after the mistress
had given dinner for her son who
had just returned after being away
from home for many years, the
new dishes were praised by all the
friends of the son, and the old dish,
standing alone in the china closet
felt very discouraged
When the guests were gone, the
mother and son were talking in the
dining room. The son told his
mother everything that had hap
pened to him. Soon they were
talking of old times and the con
versation turned to the big fire IN
which they lost everything they
had. excepting a few chairs and
one dish.
His mother said, Harry, you re-
member the old cream pitcher we
saved. ! think so much of it that
never use it. See it standing
back there in the china closet. I
will keep it as long as l live and
then ! want you to preserve it.
The cream pitcher was one of the
first presents your father gave
me-
Harry took down the old pitcher
and for a long time, mother and
son talked about father and his
career, and about the fire and the
old pitcher.
When the pitcher was returned
to it's place, it was happy The
other dishes wished the old pitcher
good luck. They now understand
that the mistress thought more Of
it than she did of them even if they
were new and pretty.

Fast Speeder
Caught in Net;
Pays His Fine

The picture suggests that he had
exceeded the speed limit. The
marshal of Cambridge telephoned
to the police headquarters in Rich
mond to arrest man who was
coming that way, who had driven
through their town at a high rate
Of speed The man was arrested
at the corner of Fifth and Main.
He was taken to police head
quarters where he was charged
with fast driving and fined $25,
Pulling a roll of bills as large as
your hand from his pocket he
cheerfully counted out the money,
handed a five dollar bill to him FOR
the faithful performance OF a
policeman's duty. He then jumped
in his car and drove up the street
at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour, waved his hand to the traffic
officer and was soon lost sight OF
as he disappeared over the Main
street hill EMILY LAND.

Richmond Boy
Sees Chinese
Buy Produce

Mr.. Editor of the Junior:
| read in the Junior that the
Japanese eat ferns out in Wash
lngton. That made me think of
what l saw when my father took
me on trip with him in the West
last year. At Victoria, which is
on an island on the west coast, |
went through the Chinese part of
the town with my father.
A big ship had just come in from
China. The Chinese had received
green vegetables from home. How
funny they looked They were
real long stalks, like corn stalks,
only much thicker The Chinese
men and women were buying them
to eat. Also they had fruit that
looked like pumpkin, only it vas
green. They also bought of this.
In one store they had a whole
roast pig hanging on a hook. The
Chinese butcher just cuts off pieces
off the end for his customers.
There were all kinds of funny look
ing nuts and fruits which the Chin
csc bought. The little Chinese
girls wear long pants like boys do
in America. They looked funny,
but were having good time play
ing games on the sidewalk. | will
write the Junior another letter l
like to read it very much.

Uncle is Held
War Prisoner
Editor Junior:

Editor Junior:
My uncle is a German mission
airy. He was trying to convert the
people of Africa when the big war
came. The English stuck him in
prison in Africa and did not let
him see my aunt and cousins. After
long while, my aunt and cousins
and other German women and
children were taken to a bog boat
and sent across the ocean to HOl-
land. They were then told to go
to Germany. But my uncle was
not with them. After a while they
took him to India where he is in
prison now. All he can write is on
a card saying he is well. He knows
my aunt and cousins are. in Ger
many. He cannot write them very
much either. l wished the hor-
rible war was over so that my
uncle could see his children.

Smart Rabbit
Almost Killed
By Automobile

Little Bunny Rabbit had grown
fast. He seldom visited his home
in the timothy field, for he con-
sidered himself big enough to get
along without the advice of his
father and mother Old Daddy
Rabbit told. his young son on one
of these visits that young rabbits
often are killed because they be-
heve they know too much He
warned his son to keep off the
roads at night.
The bright shining lights on the
automobiles will blind you, so that
you will not know what you are
doing" he told him one day last
week when Bunny was home on a
visit to his mother when the
bright light shines into your eyes
you lose all your senses and you
often run under the wheels and are
killed"
You do not know me-" answered
his stuck-up son. Il am too smart
to be run down by an automobile.
l will keep my senses, and when
see the light ! will dodge into the
weeds and bushes at the side of
the road" With that he stalked
away from home
That same night he was on his
way to farmers garden where he
intended to nibble the tender young
lettuce. He was running along the
road, when suddenly a ball of light
seemed to hit him straight in the
face. He sat up on his hind legs.
The ball of light seemed to be
growing stronger and to be coming
nearer every minute. Mr.. Bunny
was so frightened that at first he
could not move. The he did just
what his father said he would, he
ran ocross the road. The auto al
most ran over him.
Young Bunny was not over his
scare the next day when his father
met him. Bunny admitted that his
father knew more than he did.

and his mother when he was 8

was a sack of hay and he slept in a
barn. One day when he was out
selling papers, a woman was cross
ing the street when a car was COM
ing, and Harry saw that she didn't
see it, and she would have got
killed if he had not run out and
helped her across the street.
Then he asked her if she needed
him any longer. She told him to
take her to her home, No. 420 Mad
and she told him to come to her

she asked him whether he had any
parents and where he lived. He

The editor of the Junior is glad
to hear that grown up men and
women enjoy the Junior and are
willing to write for it. The editor
has written this friend to write
sketches for the Junior. His first
article has to do with joss house

Several years ago, it was good
fortune to be stationed on the West
coast. By that ] mean the states
along the Pacific ocean. Often
business took me to British Column
bia. One day l went to Victoria to
transact a business matter, and
after ! had concluded the deal. l
had four hours to wait until the
boat arrived, for Victoria is on an
island.
So l walked down to the Chinese
quarters where the orientals live.
l entered store and asked the
proprietor if he could direct me to
the joss house. The joss house is
the temple where the Chinese keep
their idols and where they bring
them sacrifices of rice, punk, in
