"True, among your people, the
chiefs and medicine men, seated
about the council fire, make laws
for the village. We also have a
council which makes laws for the
city. In some cities, it is called
the city council, in others, the city
commission. Its members are
councilmen, aldermen, or commits
sioners. The laws which the
council make are called ordinan-
ces.
Usually the city is divided into
sections called wards. Generally.
one or two aldermen are elected
from each ward by the people of
that ward. Sometimes, however,
the aldermen are elected at large
which means that they are elected
by the people of the whole city in
stead of just one ward. The al
dermen are elected for a definite
term of office usually two or four
years. which varies from city to

A commission, however does the

Timothy's Ghost

Once upon time there was a lit

and he wanted to 60 out and play
because it was Halloween and the
moon was bright, and he thought it
was as bright as day.
But after a while he went to bed
and slept and slept until he thought
he heard ghost and he woke up
and listened, and he heard a
knock.
Gee! but he was scared, he pull
led the covers over his head and
was scared to breath. But he got
courage and got up and dressed,
because he thought some of their
horses or cows had got caught in
the floor, or something.
But when he got there he saw
that everything was quiet so he
went out side and listened. He
heard it again, the knock-knock-
knock, and he started across the
fields towart the place where he
had heard the noise.
Timothy did not realize that he
was coming to the church, until he
was but a few feet away. You see
he was looking out that he did not
step on the stumps of the corn.
And when he looked up he stood
still for about minutes and he

subject and what do not. Learn
the important facts.
Now read the lesson over again

If you have time, put down on a

THE ROBBERS

Tom Banks was taking his first
job on the railroad. 1t was three
miles from Summerville. He was
night agent. The station was a
lonely place of a night. But Tom
was not afraid. Tom went to work
at six o'clock. Tht station was
near big hill. There was a car
of freight standing on the switch.
1t had costly freight in it. 1t was
night, and Tom was at his work.
All of a sudden Tom heard voices
they said, BILL you watch that kid
while l go and break the lock on
the switch and then you come and
help start it down the hill. Then
we will hop on. When it stops
we will take what we want and
hike
Tom heard every word and went
and got the speedster that was
standing on the platform. He set
it on the track. 1t was just five
minutes till passenger train came.
1t carried officers. If he beat the
robbers down the hill and flag the
train he could save the freight. He
did this and the President of the
railroad promoted Tom to a higher
position. THE END Marcel

But Peggy was a girl to whom nov.

Arriving at the school. she found
instead of the crude, poorly clad
specimens she had expected, a
group of healthy, capable mountain
beauties clothed in blue bingham
uniforms and fired with determi-
nation to learn that was quite new
to her. In place CT feeling sorry
for herself. she wondered how any
one so incompetent as Peggy Carol
had the nerve to think she could
teach these wide-awake girls.
BY the end of the year she had
learned much more than she had
taught. She had become so attach
ed to the girls that she decided to
visit their homes.
After q two weeks horseback
trip through the mountains, she be-
came a community worker in a lit

duties were as varied as the days
of the week: one day she might ride
ten miles to see a sick woman: the
next day ride ten in another direc-
