Our Postofice Box

The Rainbow folks are always merry
The whole livelong day,
Spreading sunshine bright and CHEEKY,
Happiness always comes their way.
Do you know who wrote this? A
little girl named Thelma Baghurst,
of Telford, Pa, who is going to the
hospital this week to be operated on.
She sent US the loveliest little letter
and every line of it was just as bright
as her wee verse. Oh, we know there's
lot of sunshine in some hospital
these days, and all because a certain
brave little heart is singing the song
of the Rainbow. Who would like to
send postals to Thelma? Mail them
to the club and they will be for
warded.
Christina Imperiale, South 7th
street, has some friends who are very
anxious to join the club. We are
ready and waiting for them, little
girl. Carrie Cole, Fitzwater street,
is organizing a branch of the club
in her neighborhood. Why not call
it after the name of your street? And
then when we speak of it every one
will know just where your little club
is located.
We wish to thank Harry Eitzen,
North Hope street, for his contribu-
ton to the Rainbow Club. Guess
what we are going to do with it. We
are going TO buy a little book to start
a Rainbow Library! Doesn't that
make you happy to think that you
were FIRST? Watch the column for
the name of our first book.
What do you think? Six little
girls in Frankford have organized
"The Little Rainbow Club" Their
names are Florence Adams, Helena
Roberts, Anna Jones, Esther Stehle,
Frances Grandsback, Ruth Coulson.
Please write very soon and please tell
US about your meetings.
David Steinberg, South 9th street,
sends this little message in his very
own handwriting: ~ am 6 years old
and have learned to read well enough
to know that your club is very good

Just then the telephone bell rang
and Brer Rabbit said, "There! you

Mrs. Rabbit went to the telephone
and said in her sweetest tones,
"Hello!"
Then she added, every WELL"

The Hungry Boy and the Mountain Of Bread
(By Ruth Frazier, Hazel avenue.)

(By Ruth Frazier, Hazel avenue.)
In the southern part of France
there lived a poor boy named Peter.
He had neither father nor mother
and made his living by chopping
wood for people, and sleeping in old
barns,
Peter had heard of a mountain
which was entirely of bread and Peter
thought that if he could once reach
it, he would never go hungry again.
1t was way up in the northern part
of France, but Peter, saving up his
crusts, started out. When night came
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-02-05

Peter crept into an old barn and
when he started his journey next
morning it was very cloudy. He
hadn't gone very far when it started
to rain and before long it was pouring.
After a month of hard travelling Peter
reached the mountain.
He broke off piece and ate it. Peter
thought that it would be a very nice
place to live, so he built house out
of bushes and the next morning
found out a place where he could
work and build a better house. But
Peter went every day to eat some of
the bread mountain.

The Kitties' First Party
(By Eleanor Grinnan, Race street,
West Philadelphia.l

(By Eleanor Grinnan, Race street,
West Philadelphia
Once there were two kitties, one
named Tommy Jones and the other
Kitty Jones, One day both kitties
received an invitation to party. All
day long they were laying out the
clothes that they were going to wear
to the party. At 1880 o'clock Mother
Jones washed them with her long,
velvety tongue. She gave them their
usual caress and told them to be good
pussies. They arrived at an alley
where they met every cat they knew.
They had a lovely time singing their
favorite song, called "MeOw, Meow"
They had a delicious supper, eating
the fine cake which Mr.. Maltese had
stolen from the pantry of the house
where he lived.
They were having nice time when
all of sudden a pitcher of water
came splashing down on them and
spoiled the party. When Tommy and
Kitty Jones went home their mother
did not know them on account of their
appearance.
They were never allowed 10 go to
another party. They were very sad.
but this surely taught them lesson
never 10 eat stolen cake.

Nav Organize Ladies' Band

The men folks OF Carson have made
such a success of the band business
that the ladies, not to be behind hand,
are arranging to get up another mus
zeal aggregation. About forty of the
younger ladies are talking the matter
over. and it is probable that before
the ummer is past we will have an
other band. Prof. Smith says that it
will probably be a wind-and-wood
band. that is, composed of instru-
ments such as flutes, clarionets, saxo-
phones, bassoons, and SO forth, and
will be something unique in the way
of bands. A preliminary meeting
looking to an organization will take
place shortly.
Judgment for Amount Sued For
In the District court this morning,

for was $7S5.

Indian Probably
Mixed On Location

An Indian in from Schurz told Abe
Cohn today that an Indian named
Tom. a Piute, had yesterday, while
suffering from an overdose of the
white mans burden, shot and killed
his squaw and then turned the weap-
on himself, dying instantly. No par
ticulars of the murder and suicide
have been obtainable from other
sources.
1t is possible that the Indian who
told the above story had only hea,
say evidence of the occurrence and
got mixed on dates and locations. It
is likely the story had its foundation
in the following item, published in
yesterdays Elko papers:
"A telegram from Beowawe an
nounces d killing at that place yester-
day. Two Indian braves got into an
alteration and one shot and killed
the other. The murderer then turned
the gun on himself and committed sui
eide. One of the men was a brother
to Indian Jack of this place"

beneficial, both from an economical
and educational standpoint.
There are now about ten or more
school districts in the county and
each teacher has every grade up &c
and including the eighth to teach
Under the proposed plan the school
districts would not number more than

to rid the tissues and the blood of

abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
