BOY MAKES PERFECT
TOY AUTOMOBILE

One day not long ago there was
group of boys on Richmond Ave
nue. bending over something and
examining it from one end to an
other 1t proved to be little auto
mobile that Fred Bohannon tad
made out Of mere scraps, but put
together so perfectly and painted
so neatly that it was well worthy
of the boys interest.
Fred's father works in garage
SO that the boy had been around
machines enough to know all the
parts. This model was a roadster
about twelve inches long and had
everything from the horn to the tail
light.
Fred has really started all the
boys of his neighborhood to max
ing them and>he promised to be a
Santa Claus helper and make some
for Santa Claus here at the Rich
mond sub-station
He has told about 1t himself:
"One day found carpet sweep
er and I took off the wheels.
took board about twelve inches
long and one-half inch thick for
the base. First / made the front
for the engine Too rss, i've
piece from both the corners back
I sawed two pieces off of a broom
! handle One I took and drove a
nail through the center, and put
it on the board slanting for the
steering wheel For the gasolene
can took baking powder can and
nailed it on the back; with the
other round block of wood from the
broom handle on top for the place
to put the gasolene in For the
two seats l cut pieces of tin and
bent them around. A block of
wood makes the tool box, and a
ball bearing top makes the emer-
gency wheel. A long narrow piece
of tin nailed at the bottom makes
the emergency brake, and a spool
with one end sawed off makes the
horn.
1--WE play garage, too. The boy
I play with goes out with his auto
and has break down. And then I
go out and have to pull him In We
have wrecks, too."-Fred Bohannon

A Visit to Santa Toy Shop

Johnny and Jack had been tuck
it was Christmas eve and they were
for hidden to remain awake after
the old clock in the church chimed
the hour of nine.
The children found it rather d
restless place to be, in bed, on
Christmas eve, the night Santa was
to come, but after both having a
pillow fight they gave up and went
to sleep.
The children and in fact the
whole house had been asleep aboul
two hours when down the chimney
came Santa with q pack of toys on
his back and after going down
stairs he distributed the children
presents under the large Christmas
tree. Then up the stairs he came
again to the children's bed side anG
whispered.
Come Johnny and Jack, jump
into my sleigh and l shall take you
and show you my toy shop
Both children were delighted and
exclaimed Sure we will go!'
Santa put the great warm fur
robe over them, climbed into tn :
front seat and called to his faith
full reindeer, so off they sped on
the wings of the wind to Santa's toy
shop away up among the ice
fields of the north
All at once the sleigh came Ia
a halt and Santa Claus. foliowsd by
the two very surprised chlldrell
entered Santa's home which was
a very beautiful castle of fee.
First Santa took them and intro.
duced them to his wife who was a
short, chubby little woman and
quite clever like Santa himself. She
was busy making clothes for the
dolls and also engaged in making
several other pretty things which
Santa Claus distributes to the little
girls and boys of the world.
Then came the greatest fun of
all, when Santa took the happy
children into his toy shop. The
children stood in amazement and
wonder looking at the large place
which Santa called his toy shop.
After spending many hours in this
wonderful place, much like fairy
land to the children, Santa said
Now children, before l take you
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-12-30

back home, you may each choose
something to take home with YOU
Johnny, who was the older, chose
a pOpgun which he had been very
eager for. AS a few weeks before
he wrote and told Santa for him to
bring him that and Johnny thought
to himself. Just to think, am
to take it right from Santa's toy
shop myself"
But little Jacky who was young
err than his brother, chose a hobby
horse which he had wanted Santa
to bring him for Christmas, SO his
thought was like Johnny's. -
Little Jacky was rocking on his
hobby horse having a fine time the
few minutes that were left to stay
when with cry he landed on the
floor he had rocked to far over on
the highly praised steed and it had
tipped forward with him.
He awakened only to find him
self in a heap on the floor beside
his own bed at home. The fall had
awakened Johnny who sat up in bed
in amaZement. The children were
very disappointed to wake up and
find it all dream but both lay
down and went to sleep again hop
ing that they might keep on dream
ing.
But the next morning when
Johnny and Jack went dou.- ~1"Ars
to see-fhoir CHRISTMAS presents
there was the popgun for Johnny
and the hobby horse for Jacky. So
Santa Claus had been to their house
after all even if they did dream of
being in his toy shop.-Dorothy
Robbins.

The BunwinkieS
Christmas Tree

In the wild, wild wood there lived
q family named the Bunwinkies.
There was father rabbit. mother
rabbit and Babbette, Ballet and
Bobbit. One day the baby rabbits
came in their home. saying they
had found a Christmas tree. But
said Mother Rabbit, what shall
we do for trimmings" "Oh, we
shall find some trimmings" said
Bobbit. That night 1t showed and
blowed and hailed. The next morn
ing the sun shone and there was
their trimmings. We shall have a
party said Father Bunwinkie.
So they invited their friends and
they had a very nice party. After
their friends had gone. they went to
the farm house. Let us look In
the windows and see what the
Goodloves are doing.e So they went
and looked in the window and there
they had a Christmas tree, It's
branches were dropped and dead
and the toys were stripped to the
floor and the children looked bit
cross. "And we had the best Christ
mas of ALL" said Mother Bunwinkie.
"And we did not have to pay
either" said Father Rabbit.

THE STORY OF
QUEEN ISABELLE

Once upon a time there lived a
very rich and beautiful queen who's
name was Isabelle.
She was not happy queen for
she knew that some day she would
be driven from her throne.
One day as she was wandering
through the forest very unhappy
she met an old lady. This old
lady walked with a heavy stick.
She said, to the queen, why are
you so unhappy" ..
The queen answered, 81 know
that some day l shall be driven
from my throne and that day is not
far Off"
The old lady replied, "Cheer up,
dear queen, now listen to me. In
little hut way back in this forest
sleeps young prince and his name
is Arthur. Now if you will awaken
him you will never be driven from
your throne and will be well and
happy" With that the old lady
disappeared.
So the queen started out to find
the hut and she soon found it and
awakened the prince and she took
him to her palace and they were
married that very night and they
lived happily ever after.-Faunne
Wilcox, starr school. 4B
