Milestones of Childhood

What child is there who will not
be happy over the celebration Of
Lincoln's birthday or Washington's
birthday by special decorations in
the home, and a dinner that is just
a little out of the ordinary? Let
every holiday be milestone for
the children, and let the children
have part in the preparations.
The Lincoln's birthday home din
ner offers an opportunity for stor-
les about the life of Abraham Lin
coin. The table centerpiece may
be a crude representation of the
little cabin in which Lincoln was
born. The children will take keen
pleasure in making the cabin. A
very simple arrangement may be
made from cardboard box, with
additional pieces to give the slant
ed roof. and colored with crayon
to represent the logs. There
should be windows and doors, too.
Place cards will give the party
grown up" effect which will be
a delight to all. On the back of
each card one short paragraph
about Lincoln may be written. The
surprise of the party will come
when these tiny ribbons are pulled
and 1t is found that tiny boxes
OF candy have been hidden in the
cabin and are drawn out from thu
doors and windows.
Red. white and blue is also the
Keynote for the decorations for
Washington's birthday.
Don't let mother tire herself out
getting the dinner. Holidays. above
all others, are days to use the
supplies from the emergency
shelf. II she opens a can of soup.
some vegetables and meat, with
fruits, plum pudding, or rich pre-.
serves, she will be fresh and well
able to enter into the joy of the
occasion and make happy day
that the children will long remem.
Der.
In these days when America ia
making history, we must teach our
children likewise to honor our great
heroes who have given us the ideals
we are justifying to the world to-
day.

Timothy Brolun

Timothy Brospn
IN, Timothy Brown was terrible
scamp,
And lessons he voted bore!
french, grammar, geography. his
story, sums.
He vowed he'd not learn any
more.
At the end OF the year he knew
nothing at all,
About anything under the sun
french, grammar, geography, his
tory, sums,
He'd forgotten them everyone.
One day rich uncle said,
Timothy Brown.
I'll ask you a question or two.
II I'm forty-five, and you're young
er than l,
How much am older than your"
Well Timothy Brown, he thought
for while,
And at last he discovered this
fact
That he hadn't a notion how long
he'd been born,
And he didn't know how to
subtract.
Come, when is your birthday?
I'll give you tip"
Said his uncle, and patted his
pate,
But Timothy Brown, he burst into
tears,
He couldn't remember the date!
That's the end of the story OF
Timothy Brown,
A story that's perfectly true,
And perhaps there's a moral for no
one at all,
And perhaps there's q moral for
you! Selected.

hay and left Mr.. Dog to look out for
the poultry, because Mr.. Fox had been

When nc found he could no; get his
dinner there. Mr. Fox trotted of. Blu,
when he reached the hay neld ~
stopped and looked through tho fenc,
at the men loading the hay into tas
cart
AS he looked, lie had an idea. If
only could hide in that hay" he said.
Il would get even with Mr.. Man tor

Resides that, what fine ride 7
Snail have. tucked under the hay:
,he men will not leave the hay cart in
me field They ride on the hay right
into the BARN
Just then a dark cloud came over
down came the rain, and the men ran
for shelter to the barn. first covering
with heavy canvas the cart of hay.
II did not take MIR. Fox long YOU
may he sure. to slide under the fence
and get under the hay, and there he
stayed all snug as bug. waiting for
the men to come back and finish their
work.
When the rain was over. the men
returned TO tile field and began to load
on more hay. and then away to the
barn they drove. while Mr., Fox under
the hay was thinking what 4 fortunate
fellow he was to have such nice
ride. and he was sure of feast that
n.s.lt we'll.
But hs did not know that the hay

would not have been SO happy.

though. OF course. he did no, know
what it was. and not until the sharp
points struck his back did Mr. Fox
know his danger.
Down came tho fork, sharp. on him,
while the men shouted, and MIR. Dog
parked. and after him they all ran.
But, though he got away and reached
his den safely, Mr.. Fox lmped the
rest Of his days from the hurt he got
from tho pitchfork, which struck his
leg bust as he jumped from the cart
Whenever he seas men in a field
pitching hay, Mr.. Fox runs. for he can
always feel the point of the sharp
fork and he has no wish to take an
other ride. and il you should ever hap
