Party BY Helen
Merrick

Dear Juniors:
am going to tell you about Grand
ma Creamers birthday and how we
surprised her
Her birthday was on Monday Oct. A.
She was 70 years old. We went down
to grandma's the night Of her birthday.
We got there before the rest or tne
folks and we told grandma we just
came down to town little while and
thought we would stop minute ana
see her. We hadn't been there but
short time when the rest Of the uncles
and aunts and cousins came walking
in.
And you just ought to have been
there to see how surprised she was.
We then had an oyster supper for
her Then grandma treated us to candy.
That was the best Of all. We had a
good time and we all departed about IL
o'clock wishing we could all be together
another year.

used to IT," So.
The day Of mothers return came.
Father was at his office Harry and
asleep. Cornelia had come from school
early. She could scarcely wait for the
old bus to crawl UP the hill from the
station. When it did stop, she thought
mother would never get out. The driv-
er climbed down from his seat and
handed her mothers umbrella. Then he
set the bag on the ground. Then came
mother herself. At sight Of that dear
form In the old brown dress. Cornelia
gave a great gasp Of JOY, but even as
she threw herself into mothers arms
and kissed her and was kissed back she
knew the goat hadn't come.
The driver Of the bus brought tho
trunk up the walk and set It In the hall.
Mother paid him and took of her wraps.
There was nothing said about the goat.

Cornelia remembered how hard it had
been for Teddy. sometimes to haul him

Mothers arms opened wide for the
sobbing Cornelia.
What would little girl do with a
really truly goat?" she soothed. "some
day you shall have a real little horse all

better?'
For a long time Cornelia couldn't be

very sorrowfully all about 1t, red-eyed
Cornelia appeared before them.

Snatches From Mr..
Riley's Writings

James Whitcomb Riley who was d
great lover of little children. passed
out Of this life late Saturday night, no
doubt many Of the Courier Junior
young readers are familiar with the
following beautiful verses written py
Mr.. Riley:
"The Old Swimmin' Hole
Oh, the old swimmin' hole! WHARF the
crick so still and deep
Looked like a baby river that was layin
half asleep. A.,
And the gurgle Of worter round the
drift Jest below
Sounded like the laugh OF something we
onc't ust to know.
Before we could remember anything out
the eyes =.
or the angels loolxin' out as we left
Paradise;
But the merry days of youth is beyond
And it's hard to part forever with the
swimmin hole.
He was a lover of nature; he yearned
for the sprngtime when the trees were
green again and when the aroma OF
earth was in the air. A gem OF Riley S
is when the Green GIFTS Back in the
Trees" Who can resist it's appeal?
In the spring, when the green gifts BACK
in the trees,
And the sun comes out and stays.
And yer boots pull on with good tight
squeeze,
And you think Of yer bare foot days;
When you ort to work and want to not,
And YOU and yer wife agrees
It's time to spade up the garden lot.
When the green gifts back In the
trees
Well work is the least O my idees
When the green, you know, gifts back
in the trees!
When the whole tail-feathers O winter
time
Is all pulled out and gone,
And the sap it thaws and begins 10
climb.
And the sweat 1t starts out on
A fellers forred gittin' down
At the old spring on his knees
I kindo' like jest a-loafern' roun'
When the green gifts back in the trees
Jest patterin' roun' as 1-durn please
When the green. you know, gifts back
in the trees!
Or Of autumn when the world Is turn.
ing golden in the ripened harvest and
the world is getting ready to shut her
Il
picture that no artist in oils can equal.
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the folders in the shock.
And you hear the kyouck and gobble OF
the struttin' turkey cock,
And the clackin' Of the guineas. and
the cluckin' Of the hens.
And the ROSTERS hallylooyer as ne
tiptoes on the fence:
Oh: it's-then's the times Teller Is a.
feelin' at his best,
With the risin' sun to greet him from a
night Of peaceful rest,
AS he leaves the house. bareheaded, and
goes out to feed the stock.
OF all the months he loved June the
best. That must have been so because
he sang so much Of its beauties. or his
poems that viii live forever this one
surely will be among them:
The June is here this morning and the
sun Is shining hot,
Oh, let us fill our hearts with the glory
Of the day
And Danish every doubt and care and
sorrow away:
Whatever he our station, with Prov1-
dence for guide.
Such fine circumstances ought to make
us satisfied,
For the world Is full Of roses and the
roses full Of dew.
And the dew is full Of heavenly love
that drips for me and you.
Riley lust looked about him and Sc
lected his themes 1t made no difference
how simple or lowly it was.

taken to prevent anv future trouble
