Freed By WOLVES

Once upon a time there was a
boy named Jack. His uncle gave
him dog, which he named Carlo
Jack thought very much of his dog
Once his father sent him to the
woods after sugar water. II was
growing dark. But Jack was not
afraid. He called his dog, but he
did not come. He hunted and
hunted for him. At last he found
him caught in trap. He set bin
free. Then they went on to the
woods. They reached the far side
of the woods. Jack heard deep
growl. Looking up he saw four
wolves coming. Having no gun, he
climbed tree. Carlo ran for home
as fast as his short legs could take
him. The wolves tried to climb the
tree, but could not. They stayed
at the foot of the tree and growled.
Night was coming on very fast,
and Jack was becoming weak from
his fright. He wondered what had
become of his dog. But at home
Carlo was barking and trying very
hard to tell Jacks father what was
wrong. At last the man under
stood, and taking his gun, he fol-
lowed the dog. When he saw the
wolves, he shot, killing one, but the
other three got away. He helped
Jack down They then skinned the
wolf and took the hide home, and a
beautiful coat was made for Jack.
After this Jack never went into the
woods without taking his rifle and
his faithful dog Carlo with him.

A True Ghost Story

Once upon a time when my
grandfather was about 20 years
old he lived in the country close to
an old cemetery and church. No
one would 60 close to the old
church at night, and the people
said it was haunted, that they had
seen, on several occasions, two
white figures glide along and dis
appear in the old church and after
they were in there they would hear
such strange noises. My grand
father heard about it and he said
there was no such things as ghosts
and he would like to see one once.
So one night he was going to the
village close by and had to 20 right
past the haunted church. He was
riding horseback, and when he got
close to the church, his horse
Stopped and acted SO excited and
he look to see what was wrong,
and he saw something white. 1t
came closer and then he saw two
white figures. They glided along
past him and disappeared in the
old church. He stopped and tied
his horse and followed the two fig
ures in the church, crawled onto
a bench and watched them. They
were two men and they had whisk-
ey stored in there and every night
they would go there and drink all
they wanted and then take the jugs
and roll it around in there and
made the funny noise that the peo-
pie talked about and that they
would not go near the church and
find their whiskey.

Cutting Wood

One day when there was no
school, my father and went TO the
woods to cut wood.
When we had sawed off the log
we had to pry it up SO that we
could saw it into stove lengths.
Then we split it and corded it up.
When we had it corded, we had
to have it hauled. The man that
we got to haul it had team Of
large horses. When we crossed the
the river the horses didn't like to
wade the river.
When we crossed the river and
went into the woods we had to go
up on the hill. The horses were
tired and we let them rest.
When we had the load on, the
wheels sank into the mud up about
to the hub, and the horses couldn't
pull it out of the mud, and We had
to take off part Of the load to get
out of the mud, and then we had it
loaded again and we were out of
the mud. 1t was a rough road on
the way home, but finally we got
home and unloaded. Then we had
to put it into the woodshed and
that was fun.

The Kings Guard
IA, Garfield.

Once upon a time there was a
man, and he was the kings guard,
and the king said he was the best
guard he had ever had.
One day the kings daughter
went out in the woods to pick
flowers, and she had taken her
lunch with her, and now she was
eating it,and she heard a strange
noise, she looked around and saw
big animal looking right at her.
She screamed and the kings guard
heard her and he knew it was her,
and he took his sword and started
to the place where she was, and
he saw a big snake just about to
jump at her and he took his sword
and hit the snake right in the head
and saved the little girl. For the
little girl was so kind that every
body loved her. She gave money
to the poor and she helped the sick
and every thing that was kind, and
the king would die if he had to
lose here. He gave her every
thing she wanted for he loved her
dearly, and the king made the
guard come and live in the palace
with him and not work, but the
guard didn't want to be paved for
the life of the little girl and he
said that he must go home to his
family, and he did, and the king
sent the guard forty dollars week
and the hing and the guard lived
heRpY over after.

The Robins Nest

In narrow street in a great city
grows an elm tree. Once it stood
in beautiful garden, but that was
long ago. The garden is gone and
in its place stands tall house,
and great shops. In the top Of one
of these tall houses there lived
three little children. Every morn
ing their father and mother went
out to work and they were left
alone all day. They loved this big
tree. In the spring they wached
for the coming of the green leaves
and in the summer they looked for
birds hidden from the sun in it's
cool branches. One spring some
thing wonderful happened. Two
robins built nest in the old elm
tree. The children were greatly
excited.
They watched the birds come
and go with straw and mud. They
hung out pieces of Irvine for them
to use and little Rosita, standing
on tiptoe, peeped over the window
still and called softly, There they
are, there they are"
From their windows, the children
could look down into the nest and
see pretty blue eggs and later wide
open yellow bills, begging for food.
The most exciting time was when
four little robins. with speckled
bibs, stood on the edge of the nest
and spread their wings. Three of
them 1uttered safely to the tree,
but the fourth, catching its claw
in the nest, went tumbling into the
muddy street. Ernestine ran
swiftly downstairs and lifted the
trembling little thing into her
apron. Then she put the poor
bird on some soft cotton in the
box. Then her father came home
he found that it wings were hurt,
so he fastened the box outside the
window where the mOther-bird
could find her little one. For sew
eral weeks the mother bird came
and fed it, but it soon grew tame
and as it could never fly the chill
dren's father made a cage for it.
The children were very happy in
nursing the little robin until it
was strong and well. Then there
were four playmates in the top of
the tall house and the gayest of
them all was the little bird that
sat in the window and filed the
room with its singing.

these things in the basket.
This is not all. She got her red

army trucks drew up in front of

The trucks were filled with ma
rines. They were prepared to take
the situation well in hand" The ma
rines were led by an officer who has
seen service overseas. He wore a
gold service stripe on his sleeve.
The marines were lined up in the
precinct station and divided into
squadrons in preparation for the grim
nights work ahead. And it was a
grim nights work. And much blood

AS soon as the various criminal
cases growing out Of the race riots Of
last night and night before are pre-
scented to the Districty Attorney, he
will at once take action and investi-
gate and bring to trial those who are
responsible for the excuses.
District Attorney John z. Laskey
said this morning that 80 far nothing
has come to his office upon which he
could take any action "As soon as 1t
does" he said. mo time will be lost
to bring the guilty ones to account"
There were many opinions At the
court house this morning as to the
cause OF the trouble.
One prominent lawyer said: ''Prohi-
bition has a lot to do with it The
bootleggers got rich and dehed the
police. This created q spirit Of law
lessness which is aggravated by the
unreasonable attitude Of Congress in
trying to pass laws which are entire
ly too drastic"
Another lawyer puts the entire
blame on Congress, which body he
said was slowly, but surely, depriv-
ing the people OF all personal liberty
under the guise Of reform
A prominent court attache said:
"Since the wife OF that marine was
assaulted; the marines, sailors and
soldiers combined TO get even with
the colored people no matter whether
guilty or innocent"
