Ice Bound Town
Gets Supplies

Last week the residents of Nome,
Alaska, received the first fresh
supplies from the outside weird
they have received since ice pre-
vented ships from reaching this
port last September. Steamers
from Seattle try to reach Nome
sometime in June with fresh fruits
and vegetables. This year the ice
pack held so firmly that they were
unable to reach the town until the
middle of June. Even then they
were compelled to discharge their
passengers miles from the beach,
and small boats were compelled to
pick them up and take them
through narrow lines of water be
tween ice floes to the city.
How would you like to live in
Nome? When the Arctic winteg,
begins in September there is no
chance for boat to enter the port
until the following June. Stores lay
in large supplies Of fresh vege-
tables but these are soon used.
Then the residents anxiously await
June and the coming of the first
steamer It's arrival always means
a big celebration.

that have such graceful stone
petals, and finally the queerest lit
tie animals of all called trilobites,
that are almost oval shaped and
divided into three parts with a
round head at the top of the mid
die lobe and ribs all across the
lower parts.
And when you are down by the
river try to think how it used to
look, when the broad grey stretch
of sparkling. ripping sea water
used to reach clear over to Europe,
and the waves would come lapsing
up on the shore to make the little
rows Of ripple marks that you can
find even now some places in the
limestone.
Why, you don't have to go away
to play on a sea shore. Just pre-
tend a little, and you can have as
much fun as anything, right here.

Look For Sea Shells

Did you ever wish you could go
to the sea shore and pick up shells,
and play in the sand, and watch the
big waves come rolling in? Well,
guess what?
That is just exactly what used
to happen right here at Richmond,
and if you had only lived here
few million years ago, you might
have done that very thing. When
you go down to the river, and see
all those flat white stones, try to
see how many shells and funny
little animals you can find in them
There are some shells that are
quite like oyster shells, and some
fat round ones with little ridges
along their sides that belong to
the family Of the Chambered Nau-
telas. tDo you remember that
poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes?)
And then there are sea lilies"

Doll Makes Trip

Clarabell was almost heartbrok-
en-. Her little mother was going
away to spend the Fourth of July
and leave her behind The trunks
were all packed and strapped, and
the family had told Sarah to go to
bed so that she could get up early
the next morning; and Sarah was
just ready to climb the stairs when
suddenly she happened to see poor
Clarabell sitting in corner. With
a cry she ran over to her neglected
doll, and you can be pretty sure
that Clarabell wasn't lonesome af-
ter that. She wore her best hat
and blue silk coat on the train, and
met the incest French doll on the
journey. And when they got to
Sarah's grandmother's she shot off
doll-firecrackers all day long

Young Kreuger
Tells of Fourth
of July in East

Last year | spent the Fourth of
July in an unusual way. We took
the steamer on Sunday, July fourth
at New York, and went down the
Atlantic Ocean to Norfolk, Va
We were on the steamer all night
and slept pretty good, but in the
morning l was little seasick and
didn't want any breakfast. We had
two outside state-rooms on the
second deck and they were fine.
We ate three meals on the steamer
ar they were fine. l met little
boy on the steamer and he bad
been visiting his father in New
York. He had fine collection Of
foreign stamps and he told me all
about them. In the morning we
went into Chesapeake Bay, and
landed at Norfolk. don't like Nor
folk because it is so dirty and old
fashioned
We took the trolley back from
Norfolk to Virginia Beach where
we stayed one week and l had sew
eral dips in the ocean. The first
time | went in screamed and went
back to the shore. Once when |
was sitting in shallow water, a big
wave came and rolled me over.
We spent one day at Hampton
Roads Navy Yards where they
build the big battle ships for the

SOur-Grass Loses
Head on Fourth

1t was the Fourth of July morn
ing, and all the flowers and weeds
along the back fence were talking
things over.
Aren't the children having a
good time, thought" said the holly
hook. II hold my head up just as
high as l can to see everything
they do"
'Oh, I don't know" whined the
sourg grass, this noise gets on my
nerves until I'm a perfect wreck,
Pm delicate, you know"
We'll, I'm thankful Pm not
weak" said the clover. Il enjoy
every minute of the fun, and |
smell just as sweet as l can, to
make them happier than ever"
That's my view of things, too"
put in the dandelion. II don't
smell sweet, l wish l did; but l
make my yellow head shine as
bright as it can, because the chill
dren like colors"
But the whole thing is so silly
growled the peevish sour-grass
Whats the good of making such
a fuss over little thing that hap
pened years and years ago. Who
cares, anyhow? And to spend a
whole lot of money for noisy fire
crackers just to annoy people
with"
But just then a three-inch salute
fell beside the sourgrass and blew
its grouchy old head right off.

dog "Dinty Moore" that we had
sold few weeks before.

After the Fourth

We put him to bed in his little
nightgown,
The most battered youngster there
was in town;
Yet he said, as he opened his only
well eye.
"Rah, rah, for the jolly old Fourth
of JULY"
Two thumbs and eight fingers,
with lint were tied up,
On his head was bump like an
upsidedown cup,
And his smile was distorted, and
his nose all awry,
From the glorious Fourth of July
We kissed him goodnight on his
powder-specked face,
We laid his bruised hands softly
down in their place,
And he murmured, as sleep closed
his one open eye,
II wish every day was the Fourth
Of July"

The worst danger of war with
Mexico is past, since Carranza has
released our soldiers who were TAX
en- in a battle with the Mexicans
last week. But the question of
whether or not we will fight with
Mexico, depends on the way they
act from now on.
The people of South America are
so anxious for us not to fight with
the MeXicans that they have Of
fered to act as a court of justice,
Just as the police court would be

to be settled.
Theodore Roosevelt has decided
that he will help Mr.. Hughes, the
Republican who wants to be our
next President, instead of trying
to be the Bull Moose President,

Sir Roger Easement, a great man
who has been helping the Irish in
their fight for freedom against
England, has been condemned to
