Jane lived in the country. She
was very selfish little girl. When
she was told to go to bed she
would beg to stay up an hour long
er. She was very selfish about ev-
erything.
One day she was tired and rest
less and would fuss about every
thing While she was complaining
her mother told her to go to the
woods and line down and rest. Jane
decided to go and sit by the brook
as it was very shady there in the
afternoons. Soon she was down
there with her story book.
Somehow she could not read. Her
eyes seemed to be closing more all
the time
Finally she was walking in a
beautiful garden with beautiful
roses and all kinds of flowers. Next
she came to a little cottage all
made of candy. She tried TO eat it
all. After while two little elfs came
running up to her. "Give us some
of your candy little girl. We are
very hungry"

The Telescope

The first telescope is thought to
have been made by Dutchman
named Jason a spectacle maker. 1t
was made in secret and when he
showed it to the Arch Duke Albert
and Prince Maurice who seeing
how much it would be worth to
their government paid him well for
It.
Many give credit to Calico for
inventing it but his was only a copy
of Jason's.
The first telescope was sixteen
inches long and one. tense of the
University of Chicago telescope is
seventy-two inches in diameter and
weighs 5000 pounds. Richard A

How Girls. Government
League Was Organized

Girls from all OF the schools in
the city met at the Palladium Of
flee last Thursday evening with
Aunt Molly to hear of the new
Girls organization" They will not
bother the boys any more about
voting: they are going to organize
Girls Government League,
that will do more good than the
"BoytowD" has done. The boys
will not be concerned in this or
ganizatiOn. 1t is not suffrage
League, but a League to instruct
girls in ways of voting. The girls
should know how to vote.
The principal OF each grade
school will appoint ten girls. Gar
field twenty. High School forty, to
represent each school in the nomi-
nation for mayor. Every girl, be-
tween the ages of nine and eight
cen, in or out OF school, may vote.
Ever since "Boytown" started,
the girls have been trying to OBJ
tain some power. The council has
turned them down each time. Now
they have at last succeeded. Not
in "Boytown" but in the Girls
Government League"
Aunt Molly and the girls have
talked it over several times. And
finally small girl asked why we
could not have a league of our
own. Through this suggestion
great things have developed.
February Gath, 1917, the girls APP
pointed to represent each school

THE JEWEL CASE

Black against the ruined sky
stood the ruined mill in which l
had vowed to spend the night. So
saunt and cheerless it looked, with
it's moss-grown roof and broken
windows, half repented the fool
ish bet which brought me here.
The door stood open and | entered.
The lower floor looked large and
bare in the moonlight: only few
pieces of rusty machinery re-
NAMED
Upstairs there were three small
rooms. spread my blanket on the
floor of one and resolutely turned
my thoughts to pleasant things and
prayed for sleep.
1t is strange how many sounds
an empty house can produce. Mice
and rats perhaps one might expect
to hear but why should there be
cracklings from stairs, discordant
music, deep groanings and signing
from every floor and wall? found
myself listening for something
strange and inexplicable even while
was explaining to myself very
sensibly the probable cause of
noise.
turned on my blanket. A little
mouse squealed and slid from un-
der my arm. My hand struck
something soft and cold and I
heard faint rattle. Snakes! If
snakes were there my bet would
be lost. l would NOT continue
this foolish adventure. My fash
light, however, revealed another
mouse. which frightened by the
light. scampered quickly away. But
what was the rattle? | heard 1t
again. Then l noticed faint light
coming through the cracks in the
! floor. Looking down saw directly
below me table and at it sat two
rough looking men shaking dice.
AS the dice ratified again on the
table, "Aha," cried one, Il win"
| With scowl the other handed
over key and both walked toward
large box which l now saw in
one corner. The key fitted in the
lock but the top was no sooner
lifted than both men shrank back
with white faces and out of The
box l saw tall white figure rise
with q countenance like Death. AT
the same instant woman's scream
echoed through the rooms of the
| house and in the door floated an
other figure in white, passed the
two men and took from the hands
| of the other figure large jewel
box, then without a word. but with
a horrible grin on each long face
the two white figures passed out OF
the window, while the men gazed
stupidity at each other and the
empty chest. Then Can you beat
it?" said one sold again." said
the other, and taking up an old
lantern from the table they passed
out. l went to sleep. Next morn
