A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY.

We went to the country one
Sunday for dinner. We had a very
nice time and a very good dinner.
After dinner the girl, Florence. and
went out to see the chickens.
Florence caught one Of them for
me. We then went out to the barn.
II was raining, so we went
down to the first floor to see the
horses. Then we went up to
the second floor and slid down the
hay stack. We soon got tired of
this and decided to asi. our fathers
to weigh us.
When we rea ched the house the
folks asked us TO play for them.
We did so, and after a short time
they took us to the gravel pit and
to see the waterfalls.
On the way back we found some
beechnuts and walnuts. Then We
went over to see the hogs and
feed them nuts.
The incest thing about the farm
was the spring. 1t runs all the
time and never freezes in win

Lewisburg Boy Writes to
Richmond Juniors

Lewisburg, O., Dec. 10. 1917.
Dear Juniors:
am going to write you a Christ
mas story. It will be the story of
the Christ Child. / am nine years
old. / am in the fourth grade.
Once some shepherds were
watching their floeks by night.
They knew king was to be born,
and His star would show in the
sky. They looked up into the sky
and they saw His star. Suddenly
they heard the angels singing,
Peace on earth. good will to men"
Far in the east lived three wise
men. They studied the stars.
They saw this wonderful star.
They mounted their camels and
followed the star. They came to
the walls of Jerusalem and en-
tered. They came to the palace.
A guard was at the gate. They
said, I'VE want to see the king"
The kings name was Herod, and
he was q very cruel king. The
wise men thought this was not the
king they wanted, so they said,
I'VE are hunting q young king.
We have seen his star" Then
the king was angry and wanted to
kill the new king. but he did not
want to show his temper before
the wise men. He said, go hunt
the king and come and tell me
where he is, so l may kneel at his
feet"
The wise men started off again
to hunt the child. Then they came
to Bethlehem after while and
went in the gates. Then they saw
the star shining over little inn.
They went in, and in a stable
Manager they saw a little baby.
They knelt at his feet and gave
him, gifts, and went home, but
they did not go the way they came,
for God warned them that Herod
wanted to kill the little child.
This was the little Christ Child,
and it is His birthday we celebrate
on the 25th of December each year.

A CHRISTMAS JOY

1t was Christmas week and all
the stores were brightly decorated
with paper bells of red and green;
evergreen trees lighted up with
candles and sparkling bulbs.
A little street urchin could be
seen going down the street anxious
ly peering in at all the windows,
feasting his eyes on the sight of
the toys he loved best.
He soon attracted the attention
of a well-dressed man walking
slowly up the street. The longer
the man looked at the youngster
the more interested he became in
him.
Il will follow him." thought the
the man, "and see where he goes" "
The boy kept slowly on his way.
He passed out Of the busy part of
the town into the poorly construct
ed part of town. At last he stopped
at small house about twelve feet
square. Before he entered. the man
spoke to him and asked him II
that is where he lived. YES" said
the boy, and the man passed on
resolved In his mind to help the
condition Of the boy.
AS he passed by into town he
bought several Christmas packages.
On Christmas eve the man went to
the house of the boy and gave him
the presents. Great tears of joy
rolled down the boys cheeks as he
thanked the man.
Opening them he found q ball,
top. jack knife and q good story
book. The man had made the boy
q Christmas SO in after life he
brought him up = man. by raising
him as his own chiid.-Russel
Brown, Lewisburg, Ohio.

From Joseph Moore School

When Santa Claus came to town
his reindeer went so fast that he
split his toys for the children and
had to stop and pick them up.
While he was picking them up his
reindeer ran away. He had a
large bag with him and so he pick
ed up his toys and put them into
it. When he had them all picked
up he caught his reindeer and came
to my house and filled my stocking.

Why the United States
Entered the World War

There are two reasons why the
United States entered the world
war. Germany sank many OF our
ships. We said that it would be all
right to sink them II they would
give the people on the ship warn
ms beforehand. They did not do
this, but kept sinking more ships
with people on them.
Another reason was that they
wanted us to paint a yellow stripe
around cur ships. They also said
that only one ship a week could
pass through. We would not do
this. and so we declared war on
them.--Marie Baldwin, Baxter
School.

THE STRAW, THE
COAL AND THE BEAN

Once upon time there was an
old woman who went out in her gar
den. She got a pot of beans which
she put on the stove to boil into
soup. But before she put them on
the stove she went ont in the field
and got some straw to be put into
the fire. Then she got some coal.
A bean flopped out and one of the
straws fell out of the bundle lying
on the floor beside the bean. After
a while one OF the Goals flopped out
of the stove on the floor. Then
they all walked away.
Pretty soon the bean spoke up
and said, Don't you dare to get
close to me. You are too hot"
Soon they came to a stream and
they did not know how to get
across.
Then the straw said, II will pre-.
tend like ] am a bridge, SO that We
can all get across" Then the coal
marched out bravely onto the
straw. When he got to the middle
he heard the water rustling under
him, and dared to go no farther
His feet got so hot that ne burned
the straw in two. The bean that
was on the bank laughed until he
burst. He lay there one day, then
then a tailor came along and saw
him. The tailor felt sorry for the
poor bean, and took his needle and
thread and sewed him up. And that
is how the beans came to have d
black stripe down the back.-COn

THE KINGS DAUGHTER

One day a great disturbance
arose over the country. King
Charles daughter, Evelyn, was
stolen by great Giant. He lived
far away in a land unknown. His
cave was guarded by a great and
fierce dragon.
King Charles said, that he would
offer half his kingdom and daughter
as a prize to any knight who
brought her back to him safe.
Five knights whose names were
Sir Launcelot. Sir Alfred, Sill Will
lam, Sir Frederick, and Sir Cedric
came to King Charles kingdom,
and said they would try and find
the princess.
Sir LauncelOt who didn't have his
right mind half the time started
out the next day in search of Prin-
cess Evelyn. He travelled for
many weeks and at last came to the
cave of the fierce dragon. He got
as far as the. mouth of the cave and
there disappeared. He never came
out again.
The second knight Sir Alfred,
started out and the same thing hap
pened to him. Sir William started
next. He conquered the dragon,
but the Giant conquered him. Sir
Frederick started out after waiting
about eight weeks for Sir William.
He had many hardships and died
on the way.
Sir Cedric wanted to start after
waiting eight weeks. The people
became so fond OF him that they
tried to make him stay In the king
dom. He was very beautiful and
only eighteen. Sir Cedric was de-
termined to 80. The king gave him
q magic sword, which when anyone
started to strike with it the sword
never failed.
Armed with only this sword Sir
Cedric started out. In two weeks
he found the cave. He went up to
the dragon cut off Its head and
went into the cave. In the cave he
found the Giant asleep. Sir Cedric
had to stand on 4 stool to cut off
the Giants head. After this was
done he looked for Princess Evelyn.
In one end Of the cave was q large
iron door with q paddock on 1t as
big as his head. He wondered how
he was to get into the other room
where the princess was. He
thought of his sword. Sir Cedric
took the sword cut the paddock and
opened the large iron door. In
there sat the pale princess worn out
but very beautiful.
Sir Cedric said, Princess Evelyn
have come to take you back to
your father" 1t took them week
to get back to the kingdom.
The king received them with
music. Three days afterward Sir
Cedric received his prize, half the
kingdom and Princess Evelyn.
They we're married in the palace.
After that there was feast and
about 2 O'Clock in the morning the
party broke up and the kings
daughter and his son-in-law lived
happily ever after.-Your friend,

MANUAL TRAINING.

In Baxter school the boys have
manual training. Our first lesson
we started to make an owl. The
outline was put on the wood. With
our coping saws We cut the toy
out. When this was finished We
sandpapered it. Then we we're
ready for the base upon which the
owl was to stand. The wheels for
the base were the hardest to make.

It later.-Charles Antle.
