HANS AND THE oeRE-Part l

Little Hans was a poor boy, who
grew up alone, and If he had a
mother and father he did not know
anything about them, for the first
thing he could remember was liv-
ing all alone In hut in forest.
One day he was out in the forest
looking for berries, when he saw
a house in the distance with smoke
coming from the chimney.
There is something to eat in
that house." said Hans to himself,
"else there would be no smoke"
SO off he ran to the house and
knocked at the door.
But after knocking and knocking
no one came, and Hans pushed the
door open, for it was Unattached,
and looked in.
On the stove there was a kettle,
and the steam which came from it
gave forth an odor which made
Hans mouth water with a desire
to taste the contents.
Hans stepped into the room and
waited to see II anyone came, but
all was still excepting the crack
ling of the fire and the bubbling
of the soup in the kettle
Hans took step nearer the
stove and then listened, but no
sound came to his ear but that
which he heard before.
Hans walked to the stove and
looked into the boiling pot. Hum.
hum" he said, drawing in deep
breaths
'I'll just taste it," said Hans,
looking around for a spoon. which
he found and dipped it into the
kettle bringing up a spoonful of
soup.
"My, that is good! I will take
just one more TASTE" he said.
II could taste it better if it were
not so hot" said Hans, SO he NOV

PRIZE COMPOSITION
printed with no corrections.)
HOLLAND

Holland is very small country
in the western part of Europe. 1t
is east across the ocean from u.s.
This country is very flat. 1t is
below the level Of the sea. The
Rhine river flows across it.
The children of Holland are very
pretty. They have full faces blue
eyes and yellow hair. The girls
have long full skirts little jackets
and little caps with gold braid on
them. The boys have velvet trous-
ers, They are very wild and baggy,
They come down to their knees.
Both boy and girls have wooden
shoes and what a noise they make
walking up and the streets.
In winter the canals are frozen.
The first day is a Holiday and
every one has skates. They ride
on sleighs sleds and If they hav not
sleds or sleighs they ride on chairs
with runners on them. Every one
has very rice time in Holland in
the winter time.
In Holland there are bikes more
than half way around the country
to keep out the sea- The bikes are
made of earth and stones. Some of
they are wild enough to bid houses
on and two wagons might pass side
by side. They are very strong.
Every farmer has a windmill
They are used to pump water out
of the land grind corn and saw
wood. Some of the windmills are
about three stories high and some
of the people live in the first part
The people of Holland have wind
mills because there are no swift
running streams to turn the mills

BY CLAUDE q. MILLER

Tags was certainly a real dog.
Tracy had even taught him how to
say his prayers. You know, Tracy.
ROXY and I have a regular society
and we had q dog. Tags had always
been the fourth member of the So
ciety, he was always with US and
when we had a big spread we new
er forgot Tags.
We didn't think of Tags as q
dog. somehow. he was just good old
Tags. Once when we three fellows
went down to the river to build q
raft, we forgot our hammer. and
Tracy showed Tags what he want
ed, (for Tags had carried our tools
back and forth for us when we
built our DEM and Tags ran as hard
as he could and brought us the
hammer. And l tell you when a
dog does that you want to elect
him president of the society or
something.
AS was telling you, Tags was
one of the society and he always
slept in the club rooms up In
Tracy's barn. We three boys took
turns feeding him.
But time went on until something
happened to Tags, we fellows didn't
know just exactly what. Tags
seemed to wobble along on three
legs, and one day about three
weeks ago he didn't come down
when we called him. We thought
Tags hadn't finished his breakfast
yet, but after a while Tracy began
to act restless and said he felt like
there was something the matter
with Tags, so we all went up the
stairs to the NOW together.
Tags was lying there in his bed,
hardly even wagging his tail. He
looked up at us just as feeble. with
his eyes sort of watery. and-I-l
tell you felt funny.
Tracy stopped over Tags talking
nice words and petting him, and
then he got up and said to ROXY.
'Rozzy Williams, you cut out
your bawlin' and tell Helen and
Miss Cook to come out here. Tell
'em to bring the castor oil, too"
Then we knew something was

Miss Cook was the nurse at John-
sons house and Helen was Tracy's
sister.
Tracy and moved poor old Tags
bed over in front of the window,
and Tags was SO weak ali he could
do was to lick Tracy's hand.
After a few minutes Miss Cook.
Roxy and Helen came up the
stairs, with my sister, Elizabeth,
tagging after them. Miss Cook
went over to the bed and felt poor
Tags all over. Then she said he
had something,-I forgot what, but
it east up the in'ards of fellow.
and that nothing would save him,
except a awful high costly opera
ton.
But Tags had always been a good
friend of ours SO we boys went
down stairs and had a special
meeting. We fellows all had some
money, and just now we were saw

THE ADOPTED MICE

Once there was an old mother
cat who lived at the fire engine
house in Indianapolis. She had a
lot of little kittens last summer
and they all died. The firemen
brought her a nest of little mice
and of course they expected her to
eat them. But instead. she adopt
ed them and fed them and took
care of them all, and she still has
them. This is a true story.-Mary

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The demerit system is being used il

the two classes and at the close of the
year the class having the largest mum.

Miss Rhoweder had charge of the
Chapel period Monday morning. She
demonstrated different ways of test

Both programs will be along patriotic

the main match-Zersen allowing the
Chappell grappler q handicap-agree-

minutes, which he failed to accomplish,
he being awarded one fall only, which
was gained after 13 minutes of fast
work by both grapplers.
John Gates of Chappell and John
Donnelly of Julesburg rubbed heads in
the semi-windup, which was really the

the evening. Both men were of near

match was hard-earned one.
