Gurley Fox Makes Cabinet

One morning about week ago
when | came in the schoolroom, I
saw small cabinet by the wall. I
inquired the name of the maker OF
some nearby observers and found
that Gurley Fox Of the 6B grade
was that person.
l then proceeded to examine it.
! was surprised to find it so in
geniously made. 1t had drawers
that slid in and out with much
ease, and doors that fitted precise
ly. 1t sat with evenly balanced
legs. But the wonder of it all is
that it is made with only rough
boards from boxes, etc.

tact in making 1t and hope he may
be equally as successful in larger
administrations of that sort.--Jean

MY LITTLE NEIGHBOR

One bright spring morning l was
attracted by the sound of singing.
l opened the door There on a
limb of an apple tree sat little
bird singing merrily. She saw me as
l opened the door When l looked
at him he cooked his little head and
looked at me with his pretty brown
eyes. He seemed to say Good
morning, Good morning" He then
sang as loud as he could. When
he was through singing he flew into
the orchard.
The next morning bright and ear
ly he was singing on the limb of a
tree outside my window. l opened
the window and looked out He
sang as if he knew would not hurt
him. l ran downstairs and got
some bread crumbs. He flew down
and ate them as l sprinkled them
on the grass. When he had eaten
all the crumbs. He flew into the
tree and sang merrily as if to thank
me. After that he came every
morning. He soon became SO tame
he would eat out of my hands.
When the summer days had past
and the autumn days were coming
he began to get restless as il he
wanted to go south, but did not
want to leave me. One day he flew
away did not see him anymore so
l thought he flew south. l missed
my little neighbor very much.
The next spring he came again
and brought a mate. They built
their nest in the apple tree. They
came every morning and sang a
song in the tree After that I
would feed them, then they would
go back to their nest. The little
birds soon Matched. 1t seemed but
a short time until they could fly. 1t
was really a whole summer before
they did. At last the fall came and
they went south. Every summer
they came again. They were al
ways my little NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
