Palmer Couieandro.

Palmer Cogleandro was a little girl
six years old. She lived in the town
of Masina in the country of Sicily.
One day a terrible earthquake destroy
ed her home. Her father and mother
were killed by the falling of the
houses. Many other people were left
hungry and homeless until the Red
Cross said that they would care for
them.
The Red Cross heard of Palmer and
said that they would care for her.
Palmer said she would like to stay
with her own people.
The Red Cross decided to send her to
San Francisco. 1t was a long journey
for a six year old girl The Journey
across the continent had to be made
alone, for the Red Cross did not know
anyone who was going that way. A
Red Cross man happened to be going
to Boston in a week or so, so Palmer
was put in his care. He took her
safely half way. Just as she was
about to start again red spots appear
| cd upon her face.
The doctor said: Measles, measles.'
| But the Red Cross was there with doc
! tors, nurses and perhaps even Ice
; cream.
| Soon as good as new. she started or
| her long journey. The Red Cross teIe.
phoned from town to town telling
them to care for her. At every place
the train would stop a kind faced
woman would come up and say: 81.

At night they would see if she had {
warm bed and good food.
| Soon she reached San Francisco
How glad her uncle was to see his lit.
tie niece again. Palmer is now sixteer
years old. She is a member of thu
Red Cross. She works. hard every
day to help it with its service. Paine,
knows better than we do that if WI
had Red Cross in every home and il
every country we would have friends

"Tlae Bat

The bat is an animal that resembles
both bird and a mouse. 1t has wings
but no feathers. Its wings are cOmpoS-
ed Of thin substance like that which Is
found between the toes Of L duck or
goose. Its skin is like that II a mouse
Their eyesight is not very good. Il
the daytime It can scarcely see but at
night it flies about.
The bat feeds upon moths and. flies
Therefore it is of great use in this way
In this country bats are v"ly small
III eastern countries they are very large
Their wings are five or aiz feet long
In the daytime bats 20 not stand or
their feet, but hang themselves up by
hooks on their wings in barns or II
hollows or a thickly leave3 tree.
In winter they seek shelter in cav.
ems, vaults and ruins, where they
cling together i'll large clusters ani

started to walk to our house.
When they came to our shed they
were going to sing a song but the dog
began to bark. We were all sleeping
on chairs, but the dog made so much
noise that we all awoke. My mother
went out and asked them if they were
coming from under the big hill, but
my uncle said: yes. Is that the way
you came for u.s."
My uncles were all wet from the
rain. They changed their clothes and
we all ate our supper. 1t was II
o'clock when my uncle came. My
father came at l o'clock and we went
to bed at 2 O'Clock. We got up at half
past 6.
In the afternoon my uncles and my
father told stories to US. One story
my father told was about a man and
a woman. The man used to keep a
kettle under the steve and he used to
put money in the kettle. When the
woman asked him for what he was
saving it he would say for a beggar-
So one time a beggar came around
and was begging for money. SO she
gave him the money in the kettle.
Later the man came and asked her
where his money was. so she told him
| she had given it to q beggar.
| He couldn't say anything. So then
the man went to a Jewess. She knew
| the man and asked him if he knew
about her husband, and the Jew said:
! HE goes barefoot, he has no money
| and no clothes SO the Jew gave him
money, shoes and clothes. Then the
| man went off.
| After an hour the Jews husband
| came home and she told him what she
! gave the man. So the Jew went and
| got his horse and rode after him.
| The man saw the Jew coming and
as there was rye growing near he
went into the rye, threw the bundle 9
| little further away from the road anc
was holding up an apple tree.
The Jew came along and asked hin
| if he saw a man with bundle?
The man said Yes. But please give
me the horse and I will catch him
So the Jew came to hold the apple tree
While the man took the horse and roda
off
Next morning the Jew went to loyA
for his horse. When the man saw tin
Jew coming he led the horse out an(
put the halter on himself
The Jew came to the stable and say
the man ,hitched up. The Jew asked
Are you the horse?''
The man said: Yes, I sinned ant
| was turned to a horse, but now l an
a man."
Then the Jew went off and when h
saw his horse again he did not TAX
him because he was afraid he nigh
be turned to a man again, so he bough
another horse

Ichabod Crane.

In the big place of Nature there
abode in remote period of American
history, Ichabod Crane. He was a
native of Connecticut. The cogno-
men of Crane was not unsuitable to
his person. He was tall. but exceed
ingiy lank with narrow shouIdered,
long arms and legs, hands that dan
gled a mile out of his sleeves, feet
that might have served for shovels,
and his whole fraSc most loosely hung
together. His head was small and
fiat at the top, with huge ears, large
green, CLASSY eyes, and u long nose
that looked like a weather cock
perched upon a spindle neck to tell
which way the wind blew.
If you should Nee him striding along
the hill on . d windy night, with his
clothes bagging and Tutoring about
him you would think it was a scare

With the boy across the way;

His two legs are just like this:

And swing up on a limb
Fight beside where he is at
