The Happy Prince

Many years ago there was hap
Ply prince. He was not real man
but a statue, He had pearl In
his sword. There was swallow
passing by. The statue said, stay
with me tonight. 1t was cold and
rainy. The statue said take the
pearl and give it to the poor skin
nor. The swallow flew and flew
till he came to a little hut. He laid
il by the spinner's hand. When she
woke up she was surprised. The
next night the prince said take the
gold from my body and give it to
the widow yonder. The swallow
obeyed. The next night the happy
prince said fan the sick boy with
your wings. Just then the swat
low fell dead and the princes heart
cracked. The the Lord said pick
out the most precious thing on the
earth and he picked up the dead
swallow, and the heart of the
prince.-Nila Williams, 5B grade,

Tire---Not Spirits
Flat at the End Of
Holiday at Fair

One Thursday in October mother,
father. brother, sister and | all
went to the Eaton fair.
We went in our machine. It was
very, very cold but we wrapped up
so that we didn't get cold.
We saw some cows and lots of
sheen and watch dogs and horses
looked like they were almost froz-
en- and we saw big forest with
large trees and lots of rabbits in
them and we saw two elevated rail
roads. one between here and Eaton
and the other just before you get
into Eaton.
When we got to Eaton we saw
lots and lots of machines.
Then we went over to where the
races were to be. At first there
were six horses and carts. No. 4
won. Next there were eight horses
and carts. No. 4 won. Last there
were l6 horses and carts and on
coming around the curve one cart
hit another and one Of the wheels
came off. The driver pulled hard
on the lines TO get the horse TO stop
but the horse did not like to have
the other horses get ahead OF him
and he didn't want to stop. so he
went half way around the circle
without stopping.
After the races were over they
had a free exhibition. In 1t were
white horses and man and woman
dressed in white. After the free
exhibition we saw the nice things
that they had to sell, the pumpkins.
apples, peaches, pears, and lots or
other nice things. After we saw
the things we went to the car and
started for home, we had to stop
and pull man out Of the ditch.
After we had started again, the
tire blew out and the pump would
not work right, so we had to come
into town on the rim.-Nola Arm
