Puss and the Ravens.

In a garden behind a big house
there lived cat and two ravens.
They might have all been good
friends but they were not Puss
thought that all of the garden be-
longed to him. II the ravens came
near the house he grOwled and look
ed fiercely at them. When food
was thrown out he always took the
best for his share.
The ravens did not like him.
They thought that he was a greedy
old fellow.
One day there was nothing
thrown out for dinner but a large
bone with some meat on 1t. Puss
at once seized the bone and began
picking the meat off of it. When
the ravens came for their share he
put out his claws and arched his
back and with a growl told the raw
ems that there was no meat for
them
The ravens being very hungry
needed their dinner. Something
must be done so plucking up courk
age they decided to work together.
One was to fly at pussy's tail and
the other at his head.
In moment downcame one and
grabbed his tail. Puss was so sur
prised that he dropped his bone and
turned to fight his tormentor. Then
the other raven swooped down and
got the bone. That day the ravens
had good dinner and greedy puss
vent without.-Contributed by

THE LITTLE GIRL
AND THE INDIANS

Once upon time there was q
man and his wife and three little
children. The father went into
the woods to cut down trees. The
children got lonesome and went
down to watch him work, BY and
by they got tired and started back.
On the way they saw some Indians
coming toward them. The two
brothers ran home, but their little
sister, who could not run so fast,
hid in the woods, The Indians found
her and took her to their camp. 1t
was long time before her mother
and father could find where their
little girl was, but when they went
after her she would not come, be-
cause she was grown-up woman,
was married and had some children
of her own. This is true story
that my father told me.-Lelah Van

The Sycamore Children

There was once an old woman
who was very sad because she had
no children. She went to the medl
cine man and asked him what she
could do about it.
He told her TO take as many pots
as she could carry and fill them
with balls from the Sycamore tree.
She was then to leave the pots at
home and take a long walk.
She did as she was told and when
she came back in the evening she
heard the sound of many voices in
her home. She went in and found
it full of children. The boys were
taking care of the COWS and the
girls had cleaned the house. They
were all singing and dancing to-
gether.
For long time she lived hap
PLY with her children. Then one
day she was cross with them and
said, you are not my children but
the children of a tree" They were
sad about this and did not answer.

THE LAZY SPINNER

Once there was a little girl who
had learned to spin. One day while
she was spinning, a prince came rid
ing by, and when he saw how busy
she was, he wanted to marry her
Now this little girl was really
very lazy, for if the least little knot
came in her thread, instead of pick
ing it out, she would cut off long
piece and throw it away.
Whenever the maid swept the
room. she picked up all the pieces
of thread and saved them. These
she wOve into cloth and made her
self fine dress.
One day the prince asked the lit
tie girl why her maid wore such a
lovely dress. So the little girl told
him that it was made from the
threads that she had thrown away,
Then the prince sat still for a
long time and thought. If he mar
ried the little girl, she might waste
half his kingdom but If he married
the maid, he would always be a
lesson to his people. So he chose
the maid for his princess, and the
poor little girl had to spin and spin
for her living.-Mildred Jones, 6B

Cool breezes in the sun;

Our swallows flown away;

And scarlet breastknot gay.

Robin singing sweetly,
In the falling OF the year.
Bright yellow, red, and orange,
The leaves come down in hosts;
The trees are indian princes.
But soon they'll turn to ghosts;
The scanty pears and apples
Hang russell on the bough,
It's autumn autumn, autumn late,
Twill soon be winted now.

Oh, Robin dear!
An wen away! my Robin
For picknicking days are near.
The fireside for the cricket,
The wheatstack for the mouse,
When trembling night winds whistle
And moan all round the house;
The frosty way lige iron,
The branches plumed with snow !;
Alas! In winter dead and dark.

gave her an egg every day. She
often thought that she would like
a hen that would lay at least two
eggs a day. At last she thought
that she would give the hen twice
as much barley as she had been
use to. From that day the hen be-
came sleek and fat and never once
laid another egg.-Harvey Cook,
