over there, let's go home"
So they went over to Pollyanna's
automobile (for that was who this
interesting woman was), and rode
home. Two pretty little girls ran
out to meet them.
"This is Pollyana Jr.," said Polly
anna, introducing a little girl Of five
years old that looked just like her,
and this is Gladys. Gladys was
four years old.
Take Mary Jane to your play
room, girls" said Pollyanna, ST..
The girls were not a bit bashful
and they said to Mary, Hurry up
or Wen beat yau." An hour later,
when mother Pollyanna and Mary
James mother looked into the play
room they found the girls playing
happily as If they had known each
other for years.
That night when Mary Jane and
her mother were going to bed Mary
Jane said, ooh, mother, I'm so glad
you came here. l just dearly love

GOING RABBIT HUNTING.

Once upon a time there was a
little boy and girl. and one day
when it was cold they wanted to go
rabbit hunting. But their mother
did not want them to go, but they
begged so hard that their mother
let them go. So they started out
with their dog, which soon scared
up rabbit and away they went.
Soon the rabbit ran in a hollow
log, 50 the little girl and dog stayed
at one end, and the boy said that
he would take pole and stick it
in and scare the rabbit out, and
for them to get it. The little girl
thought she ought to help, SO she
took hold of it's tail. The rabbit
gave a jump and a kick and pulled
his tail off. Away he went and
left the little girl with a bunch of
fur in her hand.

A Heroic Peasant
of Switzerland

lhere nave Deen brave men IN
every age and in every country,
but there have been few Drawer
than Arnold Winkelreid, who was
not king, not general at the
head of his troops, but just poor
peasant.
Over Ave hundred years ago, the
little cantons of Switzerland had
banded together and were making
desperate struggle for liberty;
for the rulers of Austria who ruled
Switzerland too, oppressed the
Swiss people terribly and gave
them no rights of any sort.
At last in the summer of 1886,
great battle took place. The Aus
trian army, led by Duke Leopold,
had four thousand horsemen and
fourteen hundred foot soldiers,
while the Swiss army had only
thirteen hundred men altogether.
The Swiss are brave people
and the difference in the strength
Of the forces did not daunt them,
but when they came to the actual
conflict it seemed as if there were
no way to begin the attack. The
Austrian army looked like a wall,
but a wall which bristled with
spear points. No where could the
Swiss find or make an opening,
and until they could, they knew
that they should hurl themselves
in vain on their enemies.
In the front rank of the Swiss
there was one man, Arnold Winkel-
reid, who was even Drawer than his
comrades. His quick eye saw the
difficulty, his brain told him one
way that it might be overcome, and
he was brave enough to take that
way, but the thought of his family
held him for a time. Could he sac
rifice them?
Still the two armies stood facing
each other; still the Austrians in
their pride, looked scornfully at
the little Swiss company. There
should be a break in that solid
phalanx! With a cry of Make
way for liberty!" Winkelreid
sprang forward, spread his arms
and gathering several of the enc
mics spears pressed them into his
breast.
His deed was an inspiration to
the Swiss, and they pressed forward
into the little gap which he had
made, and before the close of the
day, the Austrian army had fed
from the field. leaving fourteen
hundred dead, and the Swiss won
complete victory.
Five hundred years later, in 1886,
monument was erected on this
battlefield in honor of the heroic
self-sacrifice of a common Swiss
soldier

George Washington had a beau
tiful home. 1t was on the banks
Of the Potomac river. Not far
away was the great forest. Indians
lived in the forest. George saw
them every day. They padded up
and down the river in their bark
canoes. Sometimes George played
with the Indian boys. He liked to
fish in the river. He liked to hunt
for rabbits and wild turkeys in the
woods.
George Washington learned to
read and write and to do sums. A
kind old man taught him. This old
man was the sexton of the parish.
George Washington liked to
study. He liked to write in his
copy hooks. His copy books were
always very neat. II you ever go
to the city of Washington, you can
see his copy books. They are kept
in a great museum.
George Washington liked to play
soldier. He had a wooden gun and
sword. All the boys had wooden
guns. George Washington showed
them how to march and drill. He
was always the leader, because he
knew how to do these things. He
always played fair. All his friends
loved him.
George Washington was brave
boy. He grew to be a brave man.
He was very unselfsh. He loved
his country. He was our first pres
ident. Everyone loves and honors
this great man.

The Giants of California

One OF the most wonderful things
mountains may be enjoyed Van
In the world are the giant tres Of
California. When you first see
them in all their majestic and SOL
emn grandeur you have the feeling
Of being only a very little part of
the world. You feel like a gnat
might feel when walking at your
feet. These trees are tho largest
things around, and large pines look
like pencils in comparison. Trees
that were growing before the rise
Of Rome, have stood there through
many ages looking calmly and be-
nignly on the progress of man.
Many storms have they braved, and
countless ages have passed, but
they still live and they are the old
est living things on earth.
Let us look into the life of one OF
these monarchs of the wilds. First
we see them as little seedlings. lit
tie Sequola babes, for they are only
10 or II years old Then about
twenty years later we again come
and see them. Now they have as
sumed the graceful form OF their
family and their bark Is bright Gin
namon red. They are 80 feet tall,
yet they are only youngsters yet.
Three or four hundred years later
we climb out of our dusty graves
and take our creaking bones to the
forest. My, how our little tree has
changed! A hundred and fifty feet
high, more Or less, and with bare
red trunk, halfway up the the stem.
The bark is formed into many
ridges and from them and around
them we see and hear the happy
call of the nuthatches and wood
peckers as they merily set about
getting their dinner. We make our
inspection and marvel at them
anew, and then we creak our way
back to our graves and sleep for
seven hundred years more. We
wake up then and take our hard
way back to our tree and see it
just in its prime. 1t has changed
but little, except in size, and now
it is 20 feet or more through. My,
what a tree! Looking up it's tower
ing red tower we see the green
branches far over our head, dwarf
ing the tall pines surrounding it,
and when we see that they are
giant trees of their kind it helps
us to realize how our little sapling
has grown.
But everything must reach the
winter of life, because Father Time
is not to be denied, and finally our
old king among trees reaches that
point. The wind blows our dust
around his hoary and ragged stem
and we see that he is slowly dying.
Even now many OF the huge
branches are dead, but there are
still some green and 1t will be many
a year before that spark Of life is
extinguished. Yet he holds his old
head proudly and still looks on the
world with that majestic air he
wore while Egypt was young. He
is proud, but why not? He is the
oldest living thing on earth.

Garfield Students
Keen Health Weeks

For these last two weeks, pupils
of the Garfield have been very in
terested in the talks they have had
In their different rooms about the
ways to get well and keep we'll.
These talks have been outlined by
the teacher after which everyone
can ask questions or tell some way
to be healthy and happy.
Already one teacher reported
that two girls in her room, who
had slept with their windows
closed, have opened them now at
night and sleep better than ever.
Miss Henley has put a little list
of things on the board in her room,
and the pupils say them every
morning. And 1t wouldn't be bad
thing for every Junior to think of
them every morning and to remem-
Der during the day. And these are
the things.
To live well and die without fear.
Breathe deeply.
Drink water freely.
Battle frequently.
Laugh heartily.
Serve willingly.
Play some.
Chew thoroughly.
Clean teeth carefully.
Eliminate freely.
Sleep regularly.
Exercise daily.
Speak kindly.
Read much.
Think more.
Dare to be yourself, cheerful,
conscientious and brave.
