She said in the cutest way: "Oh, l will stand on this corner and keep the place of any young man who for fear of losing his stand can't go | to the army"
 | Several young fellows looked up and seemed to take notice and began to move on, thinking it was their time to move.

The little brother said' "Weisie. don't tell anybody that, because if you do the soldiers might kill our dog.

 excellent still life pictures done in char
 coal of pine cones and needles by Lucille Long and Lillian Gardner and an "Au- tumn Berries" study by Dorothy Young 1 blood.
 The bolys are as much interested as the girls, for James Armstrong. Jennings 1 Drummond. Andrew Malone, Charles
