THIRD PRIZE.

BY Anna b. Pinter, Haley School.
The most interesting story 1 ever
read was about the Teutons and the
Romans. I like it because it tells
how brave the Romans were at first.
But after n while they had their
slaves and became lazy. I think
that if people would read the story
about the Romans il would teach
them TO do their own work.
If you have read their story you
know what became of them after
they began 10 use slaves. 1 will tell
you about il.
They became lazy and when the
Barbarians began TO make war
against them they were unwilling to
fight. Some of them cut off their
fingers so they would not have to
fight. They hired the Germans or
Teutons TO fight for them. They
had 10 pay them, of course. So to
get the money they taxed the peO-
pie. The Teutons fought for them,
but they tricked the Romans by
sending messages to their kinsmen,
telling them how they could win the
war.
II a country does not do its work
il viii become lazy like the Romans.
and viii be destroyed by enemies.

SECOND PRIZE.
BY Levi Lind, Franklin school.

AtN Low ONiCOAs
One of the most interesting stor-
les / have read is. "A Tale Of Two
Cities" by Charles Dickens, a prom
inent English author. 1t is an cpl
sode Of the French Revolution. 1t
is also about two lovers. The scenes
are laid in those two cosmopolitan
cities, Paris and London. The time
is in the 18th century.
The foundation of the story is the
French revolution, that historic
event, when the hunger maddened
French peasants rose in rebellion
against the aristocracy. They first
stormed the Bastile. a fortress, also
prison and easily conquered the
small garrison.
Soon many rich mobiles were ex-
ecuted 10y means of the guiilotine
Louis. the XIV, was also executed by
the same means.
But the revolution is not ali. A
rich French nObleman, the hero OF
the story, is in love with a young
English girl.
In the reign Of terror, as the lat
ter part of the revolution was call
ed her lover is sent to prison by
the rebels, condemned to die. The
girl is frantic. A young English
friend of the nObleman, named
Carlton, resolves to save the young
nobleman. One point in his favor is
that he is the exact counterpart of
the nobleman. So he goes 10 the
prison where the young lover is con-
fined, contrives to get in, and sent
the lover away as himself. He stays
in place of the lover.
On the morrow he is lead out to
the guillotine. where he meets his
death bravely.
It is a story everyone should read
IT is a classic. Much credit is due
its author for giving TO the world
such a piece of literature.
