HORACE GREELEY LEARNING TO
PRINT.

Horace Greeley had always wanted
to be printer. He liked nothing SO
we'll as newspapers and he thought 1t
would DO a fine thing to learn to print
them. One day he heard that the news
paper at East PouItney wanted boy
TO learn the printers trade Horace
walked many miles to see about it.
He went to see Mr.. Bliss. one Of the
owners Of the paper. He found Mr..
Bliss working in his garden.
When Mr.. Bliss looked up and saw
the boy coming he could not help but
laugh. Horace had on white felt
hat with a narrow brim ard it looked
like half peck measure. Horace's
hair was white, mis- trousers were too
short, and his clothes were very coarse.
The boy told Mr.. Bliss that he would
like to learn to print newspapers. Mr..
bliss asked him II he had eve. been
to school. Horace replied that ne had
not been to school. but that he had
read many books. Mr.. Bliss had eX-
amined many school teachers by puz-
Zling them with hard questions. He
thought that he would try Horace with
some OF these questions, but Horace an
swered them all.
Mr.. Bliss took pieco OF paper from
his pocket and wrote on 1t, 1--WE had
per to the boy and told him to take
It to the printing office. When Horace
went in the boys all laughed at him.
but the foreman said that he would
try kim.
That night the boys in the office
said to Mr.. Bliss. "You are not going
10 try that towhead, are your" Mr..
Bliss replied. THAT towhead has some
thing in it and you boys Will find
1t out soon.
Soon after this Horace went to East
Poultney where the foreman showed
him how to begin his work. After that
Horace never looked around but kept
steadily at his work all day. He
learned more in ono day than some
boys learn in a month.
One of the boys thought that lie
would find way to tease Horace. He
said the boys hair was too white and
he put some black paint in It, but
Horace did not look up. By stendy
work Horace soon became great
printer and started paper OF his own.

ABOUT THE RULES.

My Dear Girls and Boys.-I have
had such a nice letter from ono Of
our members explaining that she did
not understand the rule about copy
ing poems. was SO glad to hear
from her. because SO many times I
know that you do not understand. and
would not willingly break rule of the
club. Once and for all. want you to
understand this, that you are not to
copy any poetry from anything. You
may rewrite stories and articles in
your own words (original articles are
always given preference). but all
poems must be original. Traced pic
lures are thrown into the trashbasket.
You may look at picture and draw
1t the best way you can, but when 1t
comes to me on thin paper, it pretty
generally means it has been TRACED;
OF course, this is not always the case.
And (I feel like putting this In capital
letters. for you SO often forget i)
when you draw your pictures. please
leave room to sign your name at the
bottom, and not on the back Of the
picture. Tho machine that prints your
page hasn't got any hands to turn
over the pages. If have. say, twenty
five pictures sent in, and can only
print nineteen OF these and some of
these are unsigned, you can imagine
which pictures land in the trash
basket.
Watch these things, children, for
they are very important.
