Johnny Green came to sChOOl
one morning with his head in the
air and walking very haughtily,
He would not play ball or marbles
but went off in q corner and took
some mysterious paper out OF his
pocket and read it very intcntly.
George Monacckle dixie some
other boys ! know was curious.
The other boys all persuaded
George to 60 and see what Johnny
was reading, with the promise or
two green immys and new ball
George consented.
He started to edge near Johnny,
but Johnny clapped the myster-
quickly that all George saw was,
Come May 31st, 1872 Say, you
keep your nose out OF my busl-
ness" said Johnny.
George hurried back to his COM
panions end told what he had seen.
When they heard, they gave George
the immys and the bal and decided
to investigate further.
As soon as school was out,
George was at Johnny's side ask
ing questions. Johnny never re-
piled. Then George promised to
give Johnny the things he had
gained that morning for spying on
Johnny. When Johnny heard this
he slowly yielded. Then he said in
a whisper,"It will be our secret. !
will shCw you the paper" So
Johnny took the mysterious paper
out of his pocket and this is what
it said.
Johannesburg, Penn.

Dear Johnny:
/ have reserved plot of ground
for you to make a war garden In.
AS you live in an apartment house
do not suppose you will have one.

and you can sci the plants and buy
Thrift Stamps. Come May 31st,

Say, I'm going to do that too"
said George my grandfather has
a vacant lot and | am going to ask
hi milf | can have war garden

cret. Let's tell the other boys"
The next morning when school

their parents if they could have a
war garden.-Brice E. Hayes, Starr

WHERE COLORED
EGGS ORIGINATED

Once upon a time there was a
family Of rabbits living in newly
painted barn, which was red. One
day a hen layed an egg in the same
barn. 1t happened to be raining
that day ana the paint dripped and
fell on the egg. The mother rab-
bit, seeing this wonderful egg, hid
it in a corner where no one could
find it.
The next day the hen 1ayed an
other egg in the barn. AS the rab-
bit was taking this egg to the place
where the other one was it
dropped on large piece of cotton
with green paint on it. The rabbit
put the egg out on the grass to let
the sun dry it. After it was dry
the rabbit took the egg and put
it with the other egg. This went
on every day until Easter. Then
the mother rabbit took the eggs
out in the yard under a bush. But,
of course, she did rot know it was
Easter. AS she was sitting there
the two little girls who lived in the
large white house came out and
spied the large nest of colored
eggs with the rabbit by them.
They said "gOody!" look at all the
colored eggs we have" tThere
were twenty-one) And ever since
that children think that rabbits lay
colored eggs.-Kathryn Weber, age
10, lis North Seventh street, Bax-
ter School.

The Contented Old Woman

One DAY a poor old woman was
digging potatoes in her garden. All
at once she stopped and pulled out
of the earth big iron pot full of
gold. She was as happy as she
could be. She dragged it a little
way toward her house, and looked
again to make sure that it was
full of gold. What do You think
she found? The gold had turned
into silver. Still she was pleased
as she could be. She went a little
further, until she had to stop for
breath. Then she looked again to
see that it was full of silver. What
do you suppose had happened? The
silver had turned into copper pen
MES. Still she was as happy as
she could be. At the door she
looked to see that the pennies were
safe. What do you suppose had
happened? There was nothing but
a heavy stone in the pot. She
just remembered that she needed
a stone to keep her door open, and
still she was as happy as she could
be, and she stopped to pick her
stone up, and it turned into a hid
eous goblin as big as a church
tower, he jumped over her flower
beds and fences and galloped away
Do you thing the old woman was
cross then? No, she clapped her
hands and cried, "Oh, how lucky
/ am, he might have eaten me up,
house and garden and all. "-Lestra

Snowfall. A little piece from town
they had their nest and as 1t was
nearing Easter they began to get
eggs ready,
Early Easter morning they start
ed from the wood and went from
place to place with their eggs,
Some places they went there ware
old hats filled with stray in which
they had to put the eggs. In other
places there were nice straw nests
for them They soon made their
rounds and went home.
When they were home they
thought of all the pretty eggs they
had fixeu, such as red, white, green,
blue and many other colors. Then
they wondered what all the little
children were doing.
Mr.. Snowfall said, Il bet the
children are having a fine time
hunting the eggs and think OF all
the colors."
Mrs. SNOWFALL said, II can just
see them hunting them"
Easter was a very happy day for
the children and the rabhits.-El-

ROBIN RED BREAST
IN THE WINTER.

When was down beside the sea,
Little Robin Redbreast grieves,
For then no berries can be found;
And on the trees there are no
leaves.
The air is cold, the worms are hid
For this poor bird what can be
done?
Well strew him here some crumbs
of bread,
And then he'll live till the snow Is
gone.
