Lightfoot Makes a Surprising
Discovery.

Probably there was no happier
Thanksgiving in all the Great World
than the Thank sgiving of Lightfoot
the Deer when the dreadful hunting
season ended and he was once more
back in his beloved Green Forest
with nothing to fear. All his neigh
borS called on him to tell how glad
they were that he had escaped and
how the Green Forest would not have
been the same had he rot returned.
So Lightfoot roamA about without
fear and was happy. 1t seemed to
him that he could not be happier.
There was plenty 20 eat and that
blessed feeling of nothing to fear.
What more could any one ask? He

growing colder and the frosty cir
made him feel good
Just at dusk one evening he went
down to his favorite drinking place
at the Laughing Brook. As he put
down his head to drink he saw soue-
thing which so surprised him that
he quite forgot that he was thirsty.
What do you think it was he saw?
1t was a footprint in the soft mud.
Yes. sir. it was a footprint.
For a long time Lightfoot stood
Staring at that footprint. In his
great. soft eyes was a look Of Won
der and surprise. You see. that foot
print WIS tHitliN IKE one Oh MS own,
only smaller. To Lightfoot it was a
very wonderful footprint. He was
quite sure that never had he seen
such a dainty footprint. He forgot to
drink Instead. he began to search
for other footprints and presently he
found them. Each was as dainty as
that first one. Who could have made
them? That is what lightfoot want
ed to know. and what he meant to
find out. 1t was clear to him that
there was stranger in the Green
Forest. and somehow he didn't resent
it in the least In fact, he was glad.
He couldn't have told why, but it was
true.
Lightfoot put his nose to the foot
prints and shifted of them. Even had
he not known by looking at those
prints that they had been made by
stranger his nose would have told
him this. A great longing to find the
maker of those footprints took pos
session of him. He lifted his hand

Punting.
BY T. f.. JONES,
The University of Wisconsin,.

Any boy can acquire accuracy and
fairly good distance in punting by
practice and study of form. Care
should be taken early in the season to
avoid too much practice, as the leg is
liable to become sore and dead from
overwork.
p. Remember that the punt is the
greatest and best play in foot ball.
Accuracy. distance and height are nee
eSSary.
The spiral punt is the one to learn.
In this method the ball goes end first,
reducing the friction, goes farther
and is harder to catch.
Get n good swing from the hip.
straight leg, toe pointed. Emphasize
height so that the ends will have time
70 cover the receiver. The center
should aim to pass the ball at the
punter's waist. The bail should be
kicked well out from the body. There
are two methods used:
II l. On receiving the ball, the punter
should be ten o. twelve yards back of
the center, should receive the ball at
! the waist. Step back. then step back
! ward with the left foot. then take
| long step with the left for a kick
2. A short step with the right then
long step with the left and kick.
| The lOng step with the left foot is
necessary to get a powerful kick.
The first method is the better as it
is quicker and the kicker does not ap-
proach the defense.
Points in Competition
4 study of wind conditions should
be made. If punting with the wind,
kick high to enable the wind to carry
the ball farther down the field. When
against a strong wind. the ball should
be driven low.
The punter should try to place the
FL = @
E31IuIJIAu
s.
dler of punts as possible. He should
regulate his punt in speed and height
to suit the speed of the ends. 1t is
well to punt the ball out of bounds
when you can get the full distance.

Boy Carves Statue
From Driftwood
American girls, dressed in

1t was a piece of driftwood from
Puget Sound that Ernest Waters
picked up one day and it seemed
to tell him to make something of
it. So he too took out his jack
knife and went to work (only it is
fun for him) and after a while he
had carved statue of Abraham
Lincoln. Ernest is a boy, fifteen
years old and lives in Oak Harbor,
Washington. He has never had
real art lessons in his life. He has
lived in the country most of his
life, and was busy as most boys
in the country are, all during the
time before and after school hours,
and, because he liked to white and
carve, he used to spend his even
ings making things from wood with
his jackknife. 49,
After this crude beginning he
found some natural soapstone on
the beach near his home, which
could be formed into things. From
this he made many beautiful
things and gave away to his ad-
miring friends.
At the last county fair, he won
number of prizes with some pen
and ink sketches on subjects of
historical significance.
Paints on Plates of Ships
After he had finished grammar
school, he went to work in a ship
yard in a Tacoma shipyard, as a
rivet heater. Any idle moments he
mad he spent in painting pictures
on the steel plates of ships. When
the regular painters came to these
pictures they could not paint over
them very we'll. Ernest almost was
fired. AS a result of this, his talent
was brought to the attention of his
employers, who transferred him to
the timekeeping department where
he would have more time to train
his capable fingers, and would not
be in constant danger of being
burned and perhaps losing the tai
ent that lies in those flexible fin
gers.
Now he is working and saving
his money, and expects soon to take
a course under a successful artist
with view to making drawings or
his life work.

When a Little Girl
Was Made to Work

Once upon a time there was a
little girl and she was nice little
girl sometimes but sometimes she
was bad.
One day her mother went out to
work and left the little girl all
alone to clean up the house. But
the little girl did not like to work
very well, and she did not want to
work then, and she made up her
mind she wasn't going to do it.
She said, Il do not want to
work." and she sat down in chair,
and pretty soon she heard some
one say, You had better get to
work"
The voice just kept up saying
it all the time and would not stop
and she got scared and jumped up
and went right to work and got the
dishes all done. Then she said she
wouldn't do any more.
Soon the broom began to hit her
hand and so did the dust pan, and
all the furniture began to crowd
around her, and the dust rag began
to fly around her head, and so final
ly the little girl went to work, and
cleaned the house all up and she
never said she didn't want to work
again. - Nina Murray, Finley
School.

THE ICE MAIDEN

1t is on one of the mountains of
the Alps that the Ice Maiden lives,
she, of whom the old people talk
in whispers (for she does not like
mem and she lies in wait for them
in the cliffs, and on the high peaks.
She builds for herself great palaces
that glisten in the sun, and that
osmetimes show all the colors Of
the rainbow She piles the snow
high in the passes, and sometimes
sends it sliding down the sides Of
the mountains. Then, the people
turn white for they know that the
avalanches are coming. Everyone
fears the power of the Ice Maiden.

don't you? Two Missouri boys had

HAVING A GOOD TIME.

What constitutes recreation de-
ponds, of course, on the point of
view. Here is that of a certain
small citizen in school for de-
pendent children. He wrote to his
father thus:
I'VE are having a good time here
now. Mr.. Jones broke his leg and
can't work. We went on picnic
and it rained and we all got wet.
Many children here are sick with
mumps. Mr.. Smith fell off of the
wagon and broke his ribs, but he
can work little. The man who is
digging the deep well whipped us
boys with buggy whip because
we threw sand in his machine, and
made black and blue marks on it.
Harry cut his finger badly. We
are. all very happy. "-Everybody's

A New Noah's Ark

Do you know where the Black
Sea is? Beyond it and to the
southeast is Mount Ararat where
the great immense ship called
The Ark" came to rest hundreds
of years ago. Not long ago an
other ship called the "Imperatul
Traian" sailed through the Black
Sea and landed at a seaport in
Roumonia. This ship has been
compared to 1.-THE Ark" of Noah
because they both were on definite
missions, and both carried pretty
much of eerything.
The "Imperatul Traian" was a
YANKEES ship loaded with food and
al kinds of relief from the Ameri-
can Red Cross to the people Of
Roumania.
Besides the 500 tons Of food
that was on the ship there were
rolling so soup kitchens and Ford
automobiles, and medical supplies.
Nurses and Office girls and dough
boys to run the Fords were also
on the ship. The "Imperatul Ira
ian" was given a wild welcome
when it landed in Roumania.
Queen Marie and Prince Carol re-
ceived the Red Cross unit at a re-
ception given at Bucharest.
