The Little Black Pot

Once upon a time there was a
poor mother and her son who lived
alone in a little cottage. One day
the mother said to her son, "You
take our COW and sell it, and with
the money you receive you must get
something to eat"
So the boy went to town with the
cow. When he got to town he saw
little black pot running around
crying, BUY me. buy me-" So the
little boy sold the COW and bought
the little black pot.
He took the little black pot home.
His mother was pleased with it. So
they went to bed that night.
They were awakened by the cry
ing of Let me out. Let me QUIT"
So the little boy let it out 1t ran
across the field to the farmer and
said, Ed me up! Fill me up" So
the farmer filled it up with wheat.
The wheat lasted a long time, but
when it was gone the little black
pot cried again, Let me out! Let
me Quit" So he let the little black
pot out.
1t ran across the field to the farm
er crying, Fill me up! Fill me
up" So the farmer filled the little
black pot up with corn.
The corn lasted for a long time,
but when that was gone, the little
black pot cried again, Let me out!
Let me QUIT" So the boy let it out
and it ran across the field to the
Kings Palace.

TOMS BIRTHDAY PARTY

1t was Toms birthday, and five

the door Tom came to the door ami
said, why are you here?" "A sur
prise on you," they answered.
Just then Toms mother came in
and said, You can play hide and
seek for while" Then she pulled
the curtains between the sitting
room and dining room, and began
setting the table.
Tom said, Lets peep and take a
look" Robert and Tom pulled the
curtain back. Look there" said
John. Tom said, There's some

and teddy bears. And he had
nurse who took him out to the park
each day and read to him.
But Tommy had one fault. He
was selfish.
One day lots of company came to
his house, and among them a dear
little boy and girl who were much
smaller than Tommy.
His mother told him to take his
little cousins up to his room to play
SO he did. But when he got them
up there he would not let them
touch anything.
After while his mother came up
stairs to see why they were SO
quiet. She found Tommy scolding
his two poor little cousins while
tears were coming fast from their
eyes.
His mother saw right away what
was the matter, SO she took, Tommy
down stairs to a secret room and
gave him his first spanking. 1t
was not hard, but it was hard
enough to cure Tommy of being
selfish.

How Mary Got Her Home

Once upon time little girl

was very sad, because she had no
home.
She heard q voice say, what
makst thou look-so sad little girl.
She turned around and an old wom-
an was standing beside her. 1t was
a witch. Mary, which was her
name, said she had no home. The
witch told her not to worry.
The witch touched her wand to
the ground. A fine castle stood be-

organized by Earl Ballinger for
boys of the West Side, the ages
ranging from Is to 10. Ballinger is
planning to have at least ten boys

name favored is The Lloyd Ath-
letic Association. This club will

STARR PIANO ENTER
TAINS Y. M. C. A.

A number of boys, accompanied
by Mr.. Schwan and Mr.. Brammer
went to the Starr Piano where an
excursion had been planned so as
to show them the process of max
ing pianos and monographs frorl
the log to the finished artical.
The trip was very instructive and
interesting, and after being shown
the minute details Of the wonderful
mechanisms and after they had
been explained by the many en-
perts, the boys were escorted into
a large room where a monograph
concert was given. Popular songs
as well as other records were play
ed.
After the pleasant trip through
the Starr, we visited the county
Jail. The boys were awe struck
when they saw the horrors of those
big iron bars. The turnkey, Mr..
Morgan, was very kind and showed
the boys everything of interest.
They thoroughly enjoyed the trip
in every detail, and heartily thank
the Starr Piano company and Mr..
Morgan.-By Harold X. Sinex.

the king Of the poor mother and her
son. The King took the little black
pot into his counting room and fill
ed it up with gold, and told it to
come every morning.
1t came every morning until the
King had no money left.
The little boy grew to be great
man, and the King had grown to be
very old man. He made the poor
boy king. and they lived happily in
the palace ever after.

Topeka, having visited at the home
of Senator Curtis on numerous occa-
sions.
Cyrus E. White, of Salina, member
of the state legislature from Saline
county, was in Washington several
days last week to discuss the farm
labor problem. Senator Curtis ar
ranged for conferences for Mr.. White
and he met both Herbert Hoover, food
administrator and President Wilson.
White urged the necessity of ample
farm labor in view of the taking of
many men from the farms under the
selective draft. A few months ago.

SUPPORT HOME GUARD
Is Proud of Her Volunteer
Citizen-SoIdier Omit

In view of the difficulties expert
enced by promoters of home guard or
CARNATIONS in Topeka, in arousing and
sustaining interest in measures for
local Defense, the following extracts
from the daily paper at Frankfort,
Marshall county, town of fifteen
hundred inhabitants, should be of
more than passing interest and ought
to furnish considerable food for re-
Election
1.-THE patriotic meeting at Com
munity hall last night was. perhaps,
the best meeting of the kind that has
been held at Frankfort.
There was a great deal to be done,
and the meeting was prolonged by
many different suggestions as to how
to proceed, yet all were striving for the
same end, which was finally reached
by unanimous vote.
1.-THE first was the organization of
the Home Guard, which was affected
by membership of eighty men The
officers elected were: president, w. J.
Gregg; vice president, Carroll Walker;
secretary r. L. Hazard; surgeon, DR..
Mark A. Brawley, Jr. Good talks
were made by each of the officers
present"
Under a later date: "A lively meet
ing of the Home Guards was held at
Community hall last night. Eight
Captain Barrett gave them a first in
Stallment of instructions.
1T was decided to order uniforms,
which will be ready in about three
weeks. Then, we can't tell the boys
from real soldiers. Already we are
feeling proud of our home guard boys.
Another meeting will be called for
Friday night at 1890"
A town of fifteen hundred inhabi-
tants with an enthusiasm and fully
uniformed home guard company OF
eighty men surely does not make a
city of forty-five thousand feel very
proud by comparison when the latter
can boast but two companies with an
aggregate membership of barely two
hundred, and these poorly equipped
and only partially uniformed. And
this Notwithstanding the fact that To-
peka has the yards, shops and bridges
of three important trunk lines of rail-
way, six flour mills, several grain ele-
vators and many important factories
all absolutely open to the attacks OF
alien enemies and evilly disposed 1. w

robbing the passengers and crew of
their clothing and money and beating
some of them severely, they drove the
car to within two miles of Morris,
where they abandoned it.
Two automobiles coming along the
road were seized and the convicts sped
past posse of 300 which had been
sent out of Morris, following a warn
ing from the captured interurban's
crew.
The automobiles were later aban-
doned and the posse captured five of
the fugitives-three negroes and two
tured in a box car on the Rock Island
railroad near Morris.
No resistance was offered by the
convicts. The other six are surround
ed by the posses and they are ex-
pected to be captured soon.
The three posses were organized
late last night after the convicts had
stopped the Chicago, ottawa, and Pc
oria interurban car and robbed the
passengers. One posse was led by
Sheriff Walter Hendricksen of Grun-
dy county, another by George NJ.
Scholl, and the third by prison guards.
Reports from Morris stated that the
passengers from the interurban car
reached there about midnight, all bad
ly bruised, but none was hurt Sc
