There has been some confusion as to
the proper use Of the names Windward
and Leeward islands, and recently the
United States weather bureau found it
necessary to define the terms for use
in connection with storm warnings,
Under the advice of the Tinted States
geographic board the bureau has de-
cided to apply the name Leeward is
lands to the chain extending from An
egada channel to and including Domin
lea, and the name WindWard islands
to the remainder of the chain Of the
Lesser Antilles as far south as Gran
ada, and including Barbados. Thus the
Virgin islands at the north and To-
bago and Trinidad at the south are ex-
cluded from both groups.

Children now know better than
that. They know all about where
oats, peas, beans and barley grow,
to say nothing of potatoes and

war-gardens for two summers? And
they know that the farmer works
hard all the time to provide enough
food for those who have not their

all these things.

A Hero and His Dog

After Jack Ansleigh, the ten
year-old boy hero, had shown his
courage and waved his flag in the
face of the German submarine that
attacked his fathers towboat. off
Orleans, Massachusetts, he had the
misfortune of losing his collie dog,
which made him almost broken
hearted for q while
When the survivors Of the battle
with the U-boat took the train for
Boston the boys dog was put in
the baggoge car. A little later he
slipped his collar. jumped out OF
the car door, and made for Or
leans.
These circumstances came to the
knowledge of Secretary McAdoo,
who sent a revenue officer down to
Cape Cod to hunt for the collie.
He soon found him, and boy and
dog were happily reunited.
The young hero of the battle
of Orleans" again showed his true
Americanism by helping the Bos-
ton newsboys sell thousands OF
dollars worth Of Liberty Bonds.

family in Ohio Street, and they
were very poor.
The day before Christmas the
children said, rs Santa coming?'
Their parents had to say, mo,
he is not"
But on the night before Christ
mas, some kind hearted people
brought them some clothes, toys.
candy and a Christmas tree. When
the children got up in the morn
ing they were SO surprised over all
the wonderful things that Santa
had left there during the night
Their parents were so happy too
because the children had received
such nice Christmas presents. That

The Princess Tsianina. real
American Red Indian princess. has
arrived in London, and all the lit
tie boys in the neighborhood Of
her hotel are tremendously excited.
They form an awe-gripped retinue
for her whenever she takes a walk,
following at a respectful distance,
with worshipful eyes. They have
found out that she is the daughter
of Cherokee mother and that her
father is a member of the Musko-
gee tribe. Being more familiar,
as are their American cousins, with
wild west stories than with their
Biographies. their imaginations are
fired by the princess buffalo robe,
her moccasins of soft cherry-color-
ed skin, her necklace of buffalo
bone, which was presented to her
by Indians as token of affection,
and her filet of Indian bead work.
Far from resenting this youthful
homage. the princess enjoys it
thoroughly.
Her mission in Europe is to sing
Indian songs to Indian troops OF
whom there are about 10000 in
France, ranging from privates to
majors.
Brought up by white people. as
the possessor of a fine voice which
has ben we'll trained. Princess Tsi-
ANNA is regarded by the British
press as an interesting product OF
twentieth century America.
The princess deprecates wild
west shows and wild west movies.
! which she says, have given Euro
peans an entirely wrong idea OF
her people.

Little Folks Corner

Il made it all by myself" re-
piled Esther.
That's real nice house, es-
pecially since it was made by my
own daughter" said the proud
mother.
Then Esther found a small roll Of
wire that used to be a fence and
nailed one end to the board fence.
Then she hammered a stout stick
into the ground, nailed a part Of
the wire onto the stick. That made
a square corner which she turned
and started down the side Of the
pen. When she thought about how
she was going to make a gate she
remembered that was a wire gate
In the barn that used to be on the
chickens pen. She got that and
fixed it on SO it would open and
shut. Then her rabbits pen was
done.
She opened the gate and went
in and put the rabbits house in one
corner of the fence, and put the
rabbit in, too. Then she went out
and hooked the gate.
One morning when Esther went
out to see her rabbit. it did
not come out of her house, so
Esther went in to see what the
matter was, and what do you think
she found? Twelve little Dummies!
Oh, how glad she was!
When the little Dummies got to
be three weeks old, Esther decided
to keep two Of them and sell the
rest So she painted little signs
and put them In stores, on trees
and in her window. Here is one:
RABBITS FOR SALE.
INQUIRE OF
ESTHER BUNNEN. .
The first day she sold FIVE. At a
$3.50 a piece. That brought her
$3.50. The next day she sold the
remaining five and altogether she
had $500. She felt as rich as a
millionaire.
When her parents asked her
what she was going to do with it.
she said, First, I'm going to give
five dollars to be Victory Girl,
and I'll tell you what else I'm going
to do after awhile. for I'm going
right down there now and give
them five dollars.
When she came back she wore a
badge and had several bundles,
which she said we're Christmas
presents.

ESTHER'S DUMMIES.

Esther was a little girl with
brown eyes and curly brown hair
She was little peasant girl and
lived in small village with her
father and mother. who were poor
The village consisted Of church.
school. bank. railroad station.
few stores. and tho rest in
houses.
One morning when Esther went
to feed her four chickens. she saw
that there seemed to be little
fuss Of some kind going on. When
she reached the pen she saw a rab-
bit in one corner of it. The chick
ems were stepping up and trying to
peck at it.
Esther In her hurry dropped the
pan OF corn. That made the chick
ems ruSh away from the rabbit
She picked up the rabbit and took
it into the house.
"Oh. mother!" she exclaimed.
"see what found Isn't it a darl-
ing? May keep it,"
"Of course. deary." said mother.
We'll get daddy to make a pen
for 1t when he comes home from
work"
"Oh. say. mother" said Esther.
I've got dandy plan. won't
tel it now. though"
Then she went up into the small
attic and found round basket.
Coming down, she tied stout rope
on each end of the basket and put
1t around her neck. then she put a
warm shawl in the bottom and
then put the rabbit on the shawl.
Then she started to the grocery.
but every little bit she was stopped
by boys and girls and even men
and women to see the rabbit; for
rabbits we're not very often seen
in the village.
Finally she arrived at the gro
Gerry and asked the store keeper II
she could have some boxes. He
said. Yes. and told her to go
back in the back part and take any
she wanted, So she picked out
three good sized ones and when
| she got home she went straight to
| the barn where her fathers tools
were.
Then in about two hours time.
Esther called her mother out to the
barn and showed here rabbits
house. Where did you get it. Es-
| ther?" aske d her mother.

SPIRITS AND INDIANS.

The religion OF the Indians was
curious. They worshiped their dead
ancestors, the sun, the winds and
the lightning. Since the lightning
in the sky looked something like
moving snake, they respected the
snake and many tribes would not
kill one. They believed in Great
Spirit, but they believed also that
every man. hill, tree, lake and ami
NAL also had spirit. Some Of
these were good and some were
bad. Some would help man and
some would hurt him. A man was
sick because an evil spirit had en-
tered his body. In every tribe were
medicine men," who were suppos-
ed to have power over evil spirits.
If the man or woman died in
spite Of the medicine man, the body
might be placed high in q tree,
where it would be safe. Some
tribes built scaffolds and placed
dead bodies there. while others put
their dead into huts or caves. Often
they buried them in the ground and
heaped great mound of earth over
them. These mounds sometimes
covered great many bodies. With
the body they buried weapons, food
and drink. which they thought
would be of use in the next world.
With little child dog was often
buried, SO that it might help in
finding his way into the spirit
world.-Lone Scout.

THE STORY OF A KITTEN

live in the country and l have
five of the dearest little kittens.
Two of them are black and white
and one is all black One is a
pretty Tiger and one is grey with
white breast and feet. They run
and play almost like children play
ing hide and seek. They roll off
the porch in a pile and just keep
on playing. They all went under
the porch and stayed while we
were shredding. guess the-s
thought the engine was going to
catch them and they would not
come out to get anything to eat.

THE DRUM.

Every boy wants drum and
nearly every boy wants to be q
drum major. and It is nice to know
that the very first little boys must
have played upon drums. because
they are the first instruments we
know anything about.
They were hollow logs at first.
with a dried animal skin stretched
over one end. Sometimes the In
dams used q hollow log with mar
row slit or opening along the side.
Into this they would put stick
and rattle it backward and for
ward. Some Of these old Indian
drums may be seen In the Metro
politan Museum in New York.
But drums have changed since
then. Every boy knows how big
and splendid the military drum is.
Then we have the kettle drums
used in the orchestra. These rest
upon legs on the floor. They are
OF copper or brass, half round and
covered with parchment.
The kettle drums may be tuned
by Tightening or loosening the
parchment The kettle drum player
uses four kinds Of drum sticks
la pair covered with felt.
3. A pair covered with sponge.
8. A pair covered with leather.
I. A pair with wooden heads.
The FIRST two give a soft tone;
the last two give hard. raw
sound. The drum Is the heartbeat
OF the orchestra: without 1t the big
brass band would not know how
to march.
