DAMON AND rYTHIAs.

Once there were two very dear
friends who were so dear to each other
that one wanted to die for the other
One day Damon said something
against the tyrant, and it made the
cruel tyrant mad He was going 20
put him o death.
Damon had wife and some children
and he wanted to sec them once ntre
before he died. and he did not know of
any way to get away so he could see
them, Ha studied, and at last his
friend Pythias came and said that he
would stay in hts friends PLACE tul
dren. The tyrant accepted this offer,
and set Damon free and bound Pythia 8
in his stead. Damon did not have very
long TO live or his friend Pythias MAST
die one. Al last Damon reached his
home and told all OF them what had
happened and what was to happen
AFTER this there was much sorrow in
the family, and they watched Damon
ride out OF sight. and there was much
weeping, for they thought Damon was
going to be killed. Damon did not
have very much longer to ride, and ali
AT once his horse died while running
lie thought that his friend WOULD have
to die
All this time pythias was wishing
that ne would not get back. for he
knew that Damon had n wife and some
children and that he wa sa single man,
and he thought in the long run that 1t
would be best for him TO die
The tyrant saw how true they were
70 each other, and he spared their
lives. This shows true friendship.

JOHN JAMES AUDUBON.
I7SD- ISSIl

On one beautiful May morning. near
the city OF New Orleans, John James
Audubon was born. When a child
John was just devoted to birds. To
please the boy his father gave him q
gun with which 10 shoot the birds.
hut John soon decided that better
way TO learn about birds would be
TO draw pictures OF them.
As the boys parents vera French
Protestants his father took him TO
France to be educated Here he stu
died under David noted artist Dur
ing this time he learned abou, many
different kinds of birds.
After finishing his school in France
audubon came to America. Audubon's
father now wished for hmto be en-
not the boys desire. He only wished
TO be the greatest ornithologist OF
his time. \ few months later his
father sent him TO Mill Grove, Penn
sylvania to work on a farm. but in :
stead OF doing this Audubon spent
his time in watching and writing
Audubon's greatest desire was ia
write. The Birds OF America" lie
spent many Years In the woods, abou,
me lakes. on the praries. and along
abou, birds. During this time he wa.
criticized by many people. but he die
not mind that. lie only tried harde
TO carry out his plan.
After many unsuccessful attempt.
Audubon at last succeeded in writin g
The Birds Of America" He wrote
Eve volumes of this book and mad,
four volumes of pictures. which were
Just the size. color etc. of the hive
birds. Audubon also wrote Tho
Quadrupeds OF America" AS the ex.
rense of this book was so great ONLY
few sets OF II were made
While in the State OF New York thj
sweet life of Audubon was ended. hut
not until after his plans had beer
fully carried out. Like Maury, Audu.
Lon never gave up. but labored with
hope Of succeeding. Audubon's
example shows the trueness OF tn,
following quotations:
He who seeks for one thing IL
ltte and but one, may hope to achiev,
Il Ger life be done"

POEM.


Yes. hurrah for the grand old flag.
The nag Of ours and the United States
for us
Stand in our hearts and waits
For us to greet and love her.
She is waiting for you and me,
Just as grand as our dear flag,
Just as grand, don't you see.
Then hurrah for them both,
Our grand old flag and the United
States
Stand for great many who have fought
Upon the brave men she's shed
Also the boys who've gone below
The blue, blue sea so deep.
Which caused so many dear ones to
weep, you know
Hurrah for them all.
The ones who've fought so brave,
Then the grand United States so dear,
Just let the flag also wave
Over our country free,
So brave, SO loyal, so true.
The men so patriotic,
Then hurrah for the red, white and
Hurrah for the President,
The soldiers. the flag and the United
States,
For he, was the one to send
The boys over the sea. who waits
Under or. beneath the sod.
The war was caused by one
Which everybody knows him good
For the tricks the KAISER has done.
