CAT FRiGHTENS RAVENS
PLAYING IN THE GARDEN

In garden of big house, lived
cat and two ravens. Puss thought
the garden belonged to her. If
the ravens came near the house
she would get fiercely mad at them.
And when the food was thrown out
Puss would take the best.
One night the ravens crept up to
see if the cat was asleep. Puss was
keeping her eyes about half open.
They crept up, coming closer and
closer. Pussy kept her eyes wide
open. And pretty soon Puss jump
ed up and nearly bit one. But the
ravens got home again, and they
would not go back there any more.

Mr. Hal Owen, who lived in the
small village of Pumpkin Center,
was a very rich man. He once
lived on a large farm a little ways
out Of the village. But owing to
the strange noises heard in and
about the house, he and his family
decided to move away from it.
1t was just few days previous
to Halloween when Jack, the son
of Mr.. owen, went to the library
of the home where his father was
reading.
Father" exclaimed Jack, draw
ing a chair up beside him, what
do you say to Sis and me having
a Halloween party in the old farm
hOuse?"
Jack. after much coaxing, finally
persuaded his father to consent.

HALLOWEEN

Halloween is almost here,
Jolliest night of all the year!
Black cats, witches, and COLLINS,
too,
And pumpkins that nod and smile
at you.
Big white ghosts wrapped up in
sheets;
Bobbing apples and other feasts-
Ringing doorbells and slamming
screens,
Making lanterns and shooting
beans,
Dressing up and soaring friends.
Jack-o-lanterns with candle ends
In them for lights give q terrible
glare
That would even Brighten a griz-
ely bear!
Boys that are fat and boys that
are lean
Shout Rah! rah! rah! for Hallow-
cen!

from where she sat by the window

She led them upstairs to the at

chest, at which the children had
marveled ever since they could re-

and then the layers of wrapping
paper and after that tissue paper.
Then from the box she took beau
tiful satin gown, grown cream
colored with age. from which came
the odor of rose leaves.
This is my wedding gown" she
said, as she laid it aside amid the
rapturous EXPLANATIONS of the child

She lifted more tissue paper, and
from beneath it took soft gray
silk dress very plainly made.
'Now, I think this will do for

Dorothy Robbins Tells of
Mystery of Haunted House

So Halloween night about twenty
young people started on the hay
wagon, to the party to be given at
the old farm house.
The old house looked very invit-
ing to everyone, all decorated in
Halloween style. And oh. such
fun as everyone was having, playing
old fashioned games and dancing
old-fashioned dances to the tune of
violins.
But all at once the merry making
was interrupted by three loud dis
tinct raps. Then there was heard
whispering and some shouted,
What was that"
Then Jack said with a laugh, ooh,
that was nothing but the witches
riding high. Perhaps one old witch
was blind in one eye and has flown
a little too low on her broom so
that it touched the roof of the
house. Do you forget that this is
Halloween"
Everyone laughed and proceeded
with the merry-making. But 10 and
behold there suddenly came six
more raps, louder and harder than
before
81 move we all go and find out
what this mysterious noise is"
cried one Of the boys. u second the
notion" shouted everyone, Jack
among the first.
The next hour was spent in
searching the house over. but in
vain. AS the noise was still being
heard, it was decided to go and
search on the outside of the house.
Finally when it was going on two
o'clock in the morning and every
body was about ready to give up
the search, a shout of surprise came
from half dozen boys around the
corner of the house.
WELL" cried the boys with a
laugh, "the joke is on us super
stitious victims. We have found
the mysterious noise"
All the young people crowded
around to see, and there it was,
only an old fashioned rope extend
ing from the roof of the house. 1t
being tied in countless knots, had
been blown by the wind against
the house.
Everyone laughed at the joke
which had been played on them,
but it was decided to leave the
rope as that made it seem all the
more like Halloween.
And SO was solved the Mystery
of the Haunted House.

Poor Man and Rich Man

Once upon a time there were two
brothers and one was wealthy and
the other one was very, very poor.
The rich man had palace which
was beautiful but his brother had
to live in tiny hut. The poor man
was chopping down tree one day
when he heard a queer little voice
calling him. He looked all around
and at last spied little dwarf SO
he asked the dwarf what he want
ed. The dwarf then said: Il pray
thee not to cut down that tree"
The poor man was just ready to be-
gin to cut down the tree when he
began to feel sorry for the dwarf SO
he said, "Why can't cut it DOWN."
The dwarf said. Because it is my
house." The poor man said, "All
right" but he was very sorry. Then
the dwarf said, II shall repay you
for this. Go yonder. lift up the
stone and take what you want" The
poor man did as the dwarf had
said he found a hole which was
filed with gold 80 he took one bag
and went home to his wife and

Children Believe
They Must Enlist

At the time of the Spanish Amer
lean war there were two children,
a little brother and sister, Laura
being four and Charlie six, who
were very much excited by people
talking of forcing men to go to war
So when one day man came to
the house to get the names and
ages of children from six to twenty
one years that had to go to school,
these children thought they were
taking the names of those that
had to go to war. They went out
in the yard and sat on the steps,
crying as hard as they could.
The little girl sobbed out, ooh,
Charlie, don't go to war"
Then Charlie put his arms around
her neck and told her not to cry,
that he wouldn't let the Spaniards
shoot him, and at the same time he
was crying as hard as his sister.
When their mother came out and
asked what they were crying about
you can imagine how she laughed
when they told her.
This is true story; l know those
two children well. They are now
twenty-five and twenty-four years
old.

Winter Joys

When the goldenrod is yellow,
And the grass is turning brown.
And the leaves of red and yellow
Are all falling to the ground,
We are thinking of the fun
When the autumn time is done,
Of the snow-balling and shedding,
AS through the snow we're treading
And we never grieye or sigh,
And say, 81 wish summer was nigh"
For when winter time is here
Well have our fun, do not fear.

lghted. AS ne opened the bag he
saw besides the gold, little box
containing beautiful band ring
and he saw also note and it read:
"This ring has the magic power to
do anything you want 1t to il you
will rub your hands together and
say what you wish" At this the
poor man put the ring on his finger
and he wished that he had palace
like his brother.
At once there was a palace more
beautiful than his brothers. and so
when his brother looked and saw
his brothers beautiful palace he
was very angry and was determined
to find out how he had gotten all
Of his wealth SO he went down to
his brothers palace and asked how
he had gotten rich. And so the poor
man which had gotten rich told him
AS soon as the poor man had
told him he set out for the forest
and began chopping the tree. Very
soon the dwarf appeared and said
what he had said to the poor man,
but he noticed that he was dressed
richly and he did not look like the
poor man. When the rich man stop
ped and went over to the stone he
lifted it up and took ten of the
largest bags expecting to find ten
wishing rings or more. So he went
out of the forest and loaded ten
mules he had brought with him,
full of the gold. When he got home
he at once began to open his bags
Of gold. He looked In the first bag
and did not find even a box that
would have contained a ring and he
did this with eight of the bags and
there was not box in any of them
but the tenth bag had box in
which he was delighted, but when
he opened it he only found three
acorns. At this he was so mad that
he felt like swearing But he open
ed them. The first one he opened
a strong gust of wind blew out and
blew half of his house down. At
this he was furious so he opened
another one and great sheet of
fire burned the rest of his house and
the stables and everything he had
so he had to open the last nut and
there came great gust of wind
which took off his fine clothes and
behold, he looked down and he was
in rags. He went out into the open
world, and for all know he must
have starved. So when the brother
looked and saw that his once rich
brothers palace and everything had
gone he was astonished.
So the greedy brother persisted,
and the other brother lived in SPLEEN
dor ever after.

s Instead of 4
to Be Elected

In the Appeal of last evening a
table was publithed giving the list OF
hold-over state senators and their
politics. A mistake was made in Lin
coin county, Senator Lee, Republican,
is not a hold-over, as he was elected
to fill the unexpired term of Judge
Horsey, resigned So the hold-over
stands six Democrats
and six Republicans. A senator from
Nye, Mineral, Lyon, White Pine and
Lincoln counties will be elected the
coming fall. The senate being COM
posed of seventeen members, nine
still constitute a majority, so that
either party in order to control will
have to carry three of the five coun-
ties.
The membership of the senate as
it now stands is as follows:
Democrats-H essen, Elko; Elliott
Esmeralda; Bradshaw, Humboldt;
Harrington, Orsmby; Kenney, Storey
Husxey, Washoe-6.
Republicans Keddie, Churchill
