DR.. Constance declared there were two
important reasons why the Greeks liv-

preserve for the future the liberties OF

Dear Aunt Molly:
AS I was going to Boston one day
my dog caught little rabbit My
brother carried it home in his coat
pocket it was very small AS we
were going home the rabbit jumped
out of his coat pocket and ran away.
We both ran after it as fast as we
could but the rabbit ran into a hole.
So we worked about one hour try
ing to get the rabbit but we could
not get it. So we went home and
it was about supper time. We ate
our supper and while We were eat
ing our supper we heard the dog
barking upon hill in under a pile
of brush. So We hurried as fast as
we could but the dog was fooling
us just for fun.-Audie E. Harkle-

TWO LITTLE RUNAWAYS
IA True Story by a Starr
School Writer1

Once upon time, about seven
years ago there lived little girl
and boy. They were four years old.
Their names were we'll, l don't
choose to tell. They had the title
of 1.-TWO Little Runaways." Every
chance they had they would run
away.
How do you suppose they got out
to run away? There was a back
fence and a front fence. Their
mother wondered how they got
out.
One day neighbor saw how
they got out. The children's moth
er said to the neighbor, 81 don't see
how those children get out" The
neighbor replied, "You watch to-
morrow and see" So she did. The
next day the children climbed over
the front fence and started to run
away. but their mother opened the
door and called them back. Their
punishment was to tie them to the
grape BARRIERS But this was fun
for the children for they climbed
up On the grape barber and ate
grapes, Did you ever have such a
good time as they did?
EDITORS Note: Dear readers,
please do not think that the grape
barber" was a poor man who went
around trying to shave boards off
of grapes. This merely is a pet
name for grape arbors.]
