The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-04-21

Once upon a time a poor boys
father could not afford to let him
go to the show The boy wanted
to go so bad he decided to go and
win his way
About eight o'clock he started
out. He got out to the grounds at
half past eight.
The general manager asked him
what he wanted Sir" said Jack,
What can l do to work my way to
the show? My father is poor and
cannot afford to pay my way"
"Well," said the man, "if you car
ry three barrels of water for my
elephants you have worked your
way"
The boy carried the water in
three hours.
"Hurrah,' said the man. "You
shall have twenty-five dollars and
your way besides"
The poor boy went home and
gave his father three-fourths of the
money put three-fourths of what
was left in the bank. The rest he
gave to his mother, brother and
sister. They had a good time and
after that he always carried water
for that circus.-Lindo Reynard, 5B
grade, age 10, Whitewater school.

and in she went headfirst
Up she came just as Roy had
done and bobbed about on the top
of the water calling loudly for
help.
By this time Peter, who knew
that boat should be on all ponds,
seas and rivers or lakes, ran to the
corner of the playroOm, where all
sorts of toys were kept, and here
he found a boat, and calling to
Teddy Bear to lend a hand, they
soon had the boat at the side of the
tub.
1t took only minute to launch
it and then Aunt Dinah and Roy
climbed into it and were saved.
Aunt Dinah made a shortcake for
Peter that night and put the whole
of it by his plate, with plenty of
butter on it, and for the rest of the
summer Peter had only to express
a wish for anything that was in
the power of Aunt Dinah to get
for him and it appeared at his plate.
All the rest of the summer was
spent on the water by the left-at-
homes, for Peter sailed the boat
and took Aunt Dinah and Marjory
and Roy and Teddy Bear, too, on

A Boys First Dollar

Once upon a time there was a lit
tie boy. His name was John. He
lived in the country. One day his
father gave him hen and he rails.
ed from the hen a great many of
little chicks. After they grew up
the hen then began to lay and he
saved the eggs until he had a lot
Of them. He went to town and
sold them and got one dollar. He
ran all the way home and said,
Mother, mother, come and look
and see what have got for my
eggs" His mother said, very well,
my boy" when she saw the one
dollar and her son was very proud
over the first dollar he had earned.

Birds in Little Girls Yard

Dear Aunt Molly:-I have seen
four robins and blue bird in our
back yard this spring. The rob-
ms were brown and orange, and
the blue bird was blue and orange.
l think they have such a pretty
song, don't you? The robin likes
cherries better than anything else,
and l think the blue bird likes
worms too. When it gets little
warmer | think we will see all the
birds again, don't you?-Martha

How One Dog Got His Dinner

Once there was a dog that came
to our house and pushed the door
open. And he came in and the ia
BILE was set. He got up on the ia
BILE and ate the food, and when my
mother came in she wondered what
became of the food She looked
around and saw a dog. She put the
dog outside and gave it bone. He
ate it and then went away and he
never came back again.--Tillie Alb

engaged for the great principles OF
freedom and democracy throughout the
world and upon which we have staked
everything dear to us and for which
we are about to mobilize an army to

showing to the world, that America Is
not only willing to make sacrifice
but is willing to offer the greatest of
all sacrifices, the blood and lives of her
young men; and
Whereas, the great second line Of
defense in war has been demonstrated
as an organization of men and women

world that we are ready to do our
