POETRY.
Cheering Someone On.

Don't you mind about the triumphs, Don't you worry after fame; Don't you grieve about succeeding, Let the future guard your name. All the best in life's the simplest, Love will last when wealth is gone; Just be glad that you are living, And keep cheering someone on. Let your neighbors have the blossoms, Let your comrades wear the crown, Never mind the little setbacks. Nor the blows that knock you down. You'll be there when they're forgotten, You'll be glad with youth and dawn, If you just forget your troubles, And keep cheering someone on. There's a lot of sorrow round you, Lots of 1onesomeness and tears; Lots of heartaches and of worry Through the shadows of the years, And the world needs more than tri-
 umphs;
 More than all the swords we've
 drawn It is hungering for the fellow Who keeps cheering others on.

Antonio Canova.

Many years ago there lived boy in Italy. His name was Antonio Ca- nova He didn't have any mother or father because they were dead. He lived with his grandfather and grand mother.
 His grandmother took good care of him: His grandfather was stonecut- ter. Antonio would go with his grand father and make pictures. When he would come home his grandmother would say. What did my little sculp- tor do?"
 One day the count gave a feast and invited Antonio and his grandfather. They went. All went we'll until it came time to spread the table. Soon there was a great sound.
 Antonio went in and asked what was the matter and the servant said he had broken the sta tue and he could not make the table look pretty with out |. it. There were two hundred pounds of butter on the table and An tonic carved out of it crouching lion. After this they made a feast in his honor.

My Vacation.

The first part of my vacation was not very lively. but the 18th of Aug ust I went to Fall River.
 While in Fall River I went to New Bedford and saw a half size model of the whaling ship Lagoda. It is very interesting to have the old captain or the original ship tell how they kill a whale and get the oil.
 At the docks of New Bedford I saw a real whaling ship that brought in $1S,000 worth of whale oil.
 They sometimes get IS barrels of oil out of a hole in the sperm whales lead.
 The next day I went to Newport.
 The 22d of August my father and myself started for the west. We took the boat from New London to New York.
 In New York we went to the Aqua rum, across Brooklyn bridge ard saw Grants tomb.
 From New York we took the train for Fort Wayne. That night we slept on the train
 While in Fort Wayne we went to just outside the city.
 From Fort Wayne we went to Chi cago and from there to Battle Creek.
 The next day we went to my un- cle's farm few miles out of Battle Creek. He has a lake on his farm. l caught one fish from it.
 Two days later we went to Detroit. After we had been ;n Detroit a couple of hours we went to Belle Isle, an iS- land in the Detroit river.
 We next went to Cleveland and from there home. I think it was the best I ever had.

 About the only time the toucans' big bill seems really to get in his way is when he is going to bed. He seems at a loss where to put it for the night and does a lot of fussing around be- fore he finally settles down. After try ing all sorts of ways to dispose of it comfortably he finally turns his head around and lays his Roman nose across his back. He then takes his tail and doubles and lays it on his back as if it were on a hinge.

Lawrence and Mamie were riding on a beautiful avenue in an automobile one day. and as they passed various pretty hcmes. they shouted, I'd like this one for my own.''
 Presently they rode near an old, shabby house. It was rather a large house. but the wood was falling apart, and the window panes were broken. Nevertheless. it had a large lawn, sep arated from the adjoining home. by a fence.
 ''Oh. don't like that one," declared Lawrence.
 But Mamie saw through the thick foliage of the great oak. the- beloved Stars and Stripes.
 "Why. Lawrence, don't you think that house looks beautiful with those glorious colors. red, white and blue, waving so gracefully?" she asked
 Lawrence immediately spied the flag and to him the house put on a differ ent aspect. an aspect of beauty and stateliness with the American flag flying from pole on a little balcony

The First Thankssivinu Day.

Hundreds of years ago the Pilgrims came over from England. They came they pleased. They landed after many hardships in 1920 The Pilgrims lived on the Mayfiower for time until the men had finished the log houses for them. The Indians troubled them fer awhile, but after were quite friendly with them. In the coming winter many of the Pilgrims died of exposure. What was left of the little band went to work earnestly. At last they began to get discouraged. More than half of the little band had died. When sum- mer came they planted seed and 1t fiourished nicely. They made up their minds to set a day in which they could thank Almighty God. They called this day Thanksgiving Day.
