HOW JIMMIE G.
PROVED THAT HE
COULD EAT CRUSTS

"Why mother, look" said little
sister Marie at the dinner table
one day, Jeans brought the whole
loaf of bread on the table instead OF
cutting it out in the kitchen"
YES DEAR" answered Mrs. Gray,
81 asked her to. You know we
must save all the food we can, and
one of the best ways we can save
bread is by cutting the slices just
as you want them"
well, | don't see why we have to
save SO much bread" broke in
Jimmie G. Even if it is ten cents
a loaf now, it doesn't cost as much

THEIR FORTUNE

once upon a time there was a
little girl and her name was Julia.
She had little brother and his
name was Tom. They had very
cross mother.
One day Tom said to Julia, Lets
go and seek our fortune"
Julia said. "All right"
The next day they started out
but they told their mother and she
said, "All right. l am glad you will
be gone
They went on and on until they
came to a wood. There they heard
someone humming and they follow
ed until they came to an old lady
who was knitting. The old lady
looked up in surprise and said no.
body had come to visit her for
about three years. She asked them
what they wanted and they told
her. She said, mot far away is a
big dragon guarding some pearls,
and whoever gets them should live
with the king and queen
Then the old lady gave them
little glass of water and said.
Take this magic water and drop
it on the dragons head three
times, and he will go to sleep"
They took the magic water and
walked until they came to the big
dragon. They dropped it on his
head three times just as the old
lady had said. and thew got the
pearls and lived at the palace with
the king and queen. Then they
called their mother and father to
come and live with them, and their
mother was not cross any more,
and they all lived happy ever after.

The Rip Van Wrinkle of Japan

A long time ago there lived on
the sea shore of Japan boy named
Washima.
One day he went out in his boat
to fish. But instead of fish, he
caught a big tortoise. 1t had a
hard shell, a tiny tail, and such a
funny old face.
Now, you must know that tor
toises always live a thousand years
at least Japanese tortoises do.
So Washima said to himelf, "a
fish would do for my dinner as well
as this tortoise.
IF | do not kill it, it may yet
live more than nine hundred years
Mo- no, | will not be SO cruel. |
am sure mother would not like it if
did such a thing" Then he threw
the tortoise back into the sea.
1t was a warm summer day and
the fish would not bite. At last
Washima lay down in the boat and
soon was fast asleep.
AS he slept, there came from I'M
der the waves beautiful girl She
stepped into the boat and said:
81 am the daughter of the Sea
God, and live with my father in a
golden palace beyond the waves.
1T was not a tortoise that you
caught just now and threw back
into the sea. 1t was myself. My
father sent me to see whether you
was good or bad.
I'VE know now that you are a
good boy who will not do cruel
things. I have come to ask you to
go with me to the golden palace,

A BIRTHDAY PARTY

A fine day, some little girls and
boys, dressed in their best, a dish
of ice cream and a big birthday
cake with candles ON it, make a
birthday party. Now Polly wasn't
in her pretty green cage, but right
out on the window sill. For Polly
wouldn't fly away, Oh no!
'One, two, three for joey and
Helen, as she patted a big tree.
Zone, two, three for Joey" said
Ha! ha! hal"
Now grandma had given Joey a
pretty birthday ring.
Put it on the table so it won't
get lost" said mamma.
Il will put it in this little cup"
said Joey, and away he ran to
play, hide the thimble" with the
children.
What a noise! Polly flew in at
the door to see what was the mat
ter. They looked under the pill
lows, on the couch, under the
chairs and behind the lace curtains
for the thimble.
You're warm" cried Helen, or
You're cold!"
'Ding-a-ling," went the little sill
yer bell. Come in and have some
birthday cake" said grandma. And
there was papa standing in the
door, with his eyes just twinkling
at the fun. Joey ran to put his arm
around his neck. Come see my
birthday ring he laughed, running
to the cup. But where is my
ring?" cried poor little Joey, the
big tears coming into his eyes.
Maybe it fell down on the rug"
said grandma. Maybe it rolled out
of the window into the grass" said
grandpa.
Up jumped the girls and boys,
and began to hunt for the ring I'M
der the stand. table and chairs, and
couch, and to look under the rugs
but no ring could they find.
Never mind" said papa. patting
Joey's curly head. But just then
Polly laughed, you're warm, Ha.

clock was the birthday ring. All
the children clapped their hands
and laughed, but when they scamp

WILL KILL RACING
Canadian Government DEGREES an
End 20 Setting.

OTTAWA, Ontario, June s.-Betting
on horse racing must stop on August
IN Canada.
The government has passed an or
der in council to that effect. II
practically means that horse racing
Is at an end in this country until al.
ter the war, for Il is not expected
that the Jockey Clubs will undertake
10 hold meetings unless they could
derive come revenue from the psri.
mutuel machines.
Closing the tracks on August
means that Connaught Park, Blue
Bonnets, Dorval, Windsor, WOodbine
and Fort Erie. according TO present
schedules. can hold only one meet
ing each, while Hamilton can have
two. Hamilton's dates are June %
to July 8 and July 20 to August !.
The possibility OF conducting the
meetings minus betting has not been
seriously considered by any OF the
larger clubs. One Montreal paper
states that the clubs will continue, IS
the 81 900 tax will not be imposed,
and private wGgers may be made.
