A HOUSE TO PROTECT

By Adelbert F. Caldwell A little blue house holds an embryo song, A song of wonderful cheer; But should robbers attack the little blue house, That music the world would not hear And this little blue house with such swonder within? It's neither 8 riddle nor jest, But a dainty blue egg full of life and and a song.

A Shopping Expedition.

One morning I awoke bright and early and found it such delightful day that I decided to go to town to do a little shopping.
 started out immediately after breakfast, arriving in town about 9 o'clock. I got off the car and went into the different department stores to get a few odd things I wanted.
 After had bought all I needed and had seen all that I wanted and felt tired, I went into the drug store for some cream and soda which tasted very good, for 1t was a very warm day. I then went through the five and ten cent store which I found very in teresting, with it's long counters of many different articles.
 I arrived home in time for dinner, tired, but very contented with my shopping expedition.

Our Sunday School Picnic

One Saturday our Sunday school superin tendent told us we should take the ten minutes past nine car for Wildwood Park.
 We held our picnic there because of its being noted for bass fishing. During the forenoon the men and boys went fishing. I caught a few good sized perch, but no bass.
 At noon we ate our basket lunches and then had ice cream.
 In the afternoon we held games for women and children, including the po- tato race, 10 yard dash, three legged race for girls, race for boys and a bean guessing game.
 At 6:20 we started home having en- joyed a perfect day.-Unsigned

A Honoe-Made Eiad,

In our neighborhood there were two small children who were too poor to buy flag as the other children had done to show respect to the soldiers as they passed through the streets.
 As these children sat on the door step thinking how to earn money enough to buy a flag one of them said: You will take your blue waist and will take my red skirt znd tear them into strips and sew them together, and here is some white cloth for stars"
 As the soldiers came marching by the house the general halted his army for them to salute the home made flag.

Her shoulder was broken. A Stanley
surgeon was called to reduce the frac-

in time, but owing to her advanced
years, her recovery will be slow.
Mrs. Molzohn, who lives with her
son, had gone to the barn when the
cow, which is ordinarily very gentle,
attacked her, knocked her to the floor
and hooked her. Mrs. Molzohn un-
doubtedly would have been killed had
not her cries brought assistance.
