A CATS BATH

One day a little cat was sitting
at our gate, and a little dog came
up for a chat After talking for a
while, the dog said, Nov ] don't
want you to think I am rude, or
that l am inquisitive, but tell me
why do you wash in such funny
way? l run to the lake every day
and dive in the clear water and
jump out and shake myself until
am as fresh and neat as a pin.
But see you rubbing your fur with
q red little tongue; are you sure
you get clean?"
The cat got mad and flew at
poor doggie and scratched his nose
and eyes, and sent him yelping
down the street. That is what one
gets for being inquisitive.

through the Earlham campus. We
went across an alfalfa field. Harry
Schwab went across the creek and
got some milkweed pods. We
watched the seeds fly. Elizabeth
Stevens fell in the water and got
her dress wet and muddy. After
it dried we brushed off the mud.
AS we went along we got some

and maple leaves. We found some
logs and sat on them to eat our
lunch.

THE STORY OF DAYTON

During my vacation we were to
Dayton. 1t is a very large place.
1t has 10000 people in it. While
we were there we visited the Cash
Register and the Cash Register
play grounds, and went in bathing.
There are four boats on the SWIM
ming pool and we went in them to
the middle of the pool. When we
could not row any farther a boy
had to push us to shore. Then when
we were done swimming we swung
in the large swing and went down
the shoots and had very fine time.
There are many large buildings and
large elevators in the stores. They
go so fast they almost take your
breath There is a market in Day
ton every day and so much traffic
that you can not get through the
streets.

Have you ever been going along
the street, past some empty lot,
when the morning air was so cold
and snappy these real fall morn
ings that even the katy-dids were
silent, and then suddenly hear the
liveliest, ripping little song come
from the tall weeds? Why, it just
sends new life clear through you,
for you know that there is one hap
by little fellow who isn't scared out
by chilly days. 1t is the Song
Sparrow.
Have You ever seen one? Per
haps you merely thought he was
his rowdy cousin the English Spar
row, but he wasn't! There is a
strong family resemblance, but the
Song Sparrow doesn't have the
black necktie his jaunty cousin
wears, and his breast is all streaked
and spotted with brown. with three
rather large spots in the center
Song Sparrows are as friendly as
they can be. We have them every
where around here, even in town.
and sometimes they even stay over
winter. They build their nests
low, in bushes or sometimes on
the ground, and their whitish eggs
are half covered with heavy brown
speckles.

CHICKENS GET SHARE
OF SOUP THEY WANT

Once upon time there lived in
the country poor woman and her
three children, Jennie, Martha and
Alice. Jennie was the oldest of the
three, and she was very selfish.
They lived in stone house which
had climbing vines over the door
and windows. The sparrows and
wrens built nests in the vines. The
birds woke up early in the morn
ing and began singing. Then the
children would wake up early too,
and loose their sleep.
One morning, about half past
nine, the children said they were
very hungry. Their mother told
them to sit down upon the doorstep
and she would give them some soup
she was making for dinner. She
gave them each in a turn spoon
full of soup.
When it was nearly gone chock-
en- came around the house and
wanted something to eat. 1t was
the last spoonful of soup, and Jen-
ME said, Il am going to have the
rest" She started to grab the
spoon, but instead split all the soup
on the ground. Then the chicken
got it's share of the soup.

MARGARET ENJOYS
GIVING FLOWERS
TO SHOW PEOPLE

Margaret was at her grand
mothers for a months visit. Mrs.
Grey owned a large boarding house
and Margaret liked to visit her.
1t was the month Of June and
everything was pretty and fresh.
Margaret had looked forward to
this visit for quite a little while,
and now as she stood on her grand
mothers large porch, she was SO
happy she could shout" as she
said.
Margaret had already made sew
the milkman. He had taken her to
his large dairy farm for a days
visit, and she had enjoyed this very
much
After Margaret had been at her
Grandmother's about fortnight,
some show people came to the town
and wanted board at Mrs. .Grey's,
which was given. Margaret was in
terested in them at once and want
ed to make friends, for she mag
ined they were nice and orderly
II will take Mrs. Johnson some
roses" said Margaret one morning
when she was out in the yard AS
soon as her hands were full of the
flowers, she arranged them very
nicely in a vase, and timidly knock
ed at the door.
"Yes," was the answer Margar-
ct opened the door and went in.
She put the flowers on a stand, but
neither Mr.. or Mrs. Johnson said
thanks.
Downstairs Margaret saw her
grandmother in the living room,
and ran over to her. Grand
mother" she burst out, Have you
seen the show peoples room? It's
most horrid, and oh! so dirty it
doesn't look like your room; and
they didn't even say thank you
for the roses"
'Never mind, dear" said grand
mother, mo, haven't been in their
room, but I know show people do
not keep their rooms very neat"
Margaret went out on the porch
to think about what she had seen.
Il don't think l should keep my
room as untidy as that, if I were
a show person." thought Margaret
to herself, And should try to be
polite"
AS Margaret was thinking all
this, her grandmother came out and
sat down beside her, and said,
Margaret, l have just received a
letter from your mother, saying
that she needs you very much. I
am sorry, but il she wants you, you
must CO."
Margaret wanted to stay, but
she also wanted to see her little
brother, so she wasn't really I'M
happy as she packed her clothes.
She babe her grandmother good
bye, and in two hours was greeting
her mother and brother.
The next day was cleaning day
at Margaret's home, and as soon
as breakfast was over, she told her
mother to do the shopping, or what
ever she wished. Then as soon as
she had gone, Margaret donned
large apron and dustcap. She clean
ed the house, yard and walks, and
had dinner ready when her mother,
father and brother came home.
They were all surprised and pleas
ed, too.
And as a reward, which really
came from taking Mrs. Johnson
some roses, Margaret received two
bright silver dollars.
