A Hard Worker

Across his desk the sunlight falls
And shines upon his hair;
His large book casts a shadow as
He studies it with care.
It's almost forty minutes now,
And not page he turns.
He Stares into it fiXedly,
We wonder what he learns.
Now, up in front the teacher sits
And watches this one boy;
IT'S strange that his arithmetic
Can give him so much joy.
The teacher, Registering distrust,
Thinks he'll investigate.
The boy sees him approach his
desk,
Alas, it is too late,
The Tale of Tom" horse-thief
bold,
Is brought to public view
The teacher carries it away;
The boy looks very blue.
(.
The boys classmates have all gone
home;
'TiS in the afternoon
He now works on arithmetic,
And knows he won't leave soon.

They went up the stairs and
found everything neat and clean,
They found a large pile of differ
ent kinds of furs; box Of gold and
silver. They also found the little
girls picture. She was very beau,
tiful and looked to be about two
years old.
Tom was very astonished. be-
cause she looked so much like his
sister.
Tom took all the pictures. the
gold, silver and furs and all the
things he thought would be inter
esting to his father and sister.
The party started the next day
for home. 1t was a glad party to
be home once again.
The first thing Tom did the next
day was TO show the things to his
father and sister.
When Tom showed his father the
picture of the little girl and her
father. Toms father burst out cry
ing and told Tom and his sister all
about it.
He said that fifteen years ago
he went TO the same mountains and
had the Indians to steal Alice, as
was Toms sisters name. He said
he knew her father and her
mother.
Alice then wanted to go to the
mountain to see her home and
when summer came Alice and her
brother mother and father went to
Alice's old home and spent a happ!
summer.

WE WORKED

One Saturday, Everett, Pop and
| went down to LandDilks to get a
load of kindling. 1t is hard load
ing the kindling. the sticks are so
little. We picked up about ten to
fifteen pieces at a time. In a very
little time we had it all loaded.
Then when VIC went home we
counted how many pieces fell off.
1t was fun doing that. When We
got home it didn't take us very long
to unload it. Then we had to pile
it up. 1t was very hard piling it up
but we finally got at 1t. 1t took us
from a to to get it done.-Eugene

OUR FRIENDS, the DOGS

will sometimes see one of us stand
ing guard over go-cart while the
nurse is in some shop. And you can
believe that no one is likely to in
terfere if we are standing by!
This is the spirit we show when
we have happy homes and good
masters, but beware of us if abused
or unkindly used! When made
ugly, we are probably the most
dangerous dogs alive. Even the
angry timber wolf is not more
fierce. We have terrific strength,
but we are aware of it and are not
easily led into battle. Both man
and dog respect our power. The
full-bred bulldog is the only breed
that will risk fight with US.
There has been considerable de-
bate about our family history but
it is at least sure that we are of an
cient lineage, since we are pictured
on the monuments of Egypt. Our
origin Is in the days of palaces, not
of city apartments, in which, by
reason of our size, we are ridicu-
lous. We belong properly to the
country gentleman. His acres give
us range, while our lordly bearing
blends with his wide walls, ter
raced gardens and sweeping stair
ways.-Boys' and Girls Newspaper

case to match the shoe bags in ma
terial, for holding your wash cloth.
Then you can pack toilet articles,
even if they are damp, in hurry.
Another small, narrow bag, also
lined, will do for the comb, and
third, a little wider, for your hair
brush.
Your trunk, closed in the attic all
winter is a poor place in which to
pack dainty things fresh from
scented bureau drawers. But make
two pads of linen or chintz, with a
layer of wadding thickly spread
with orris powder, one to fit in the
bottom of the trunk, and one to fit
the tray. Pack your dresses, neatly
folded, on these pads. and you can
lift them out, pads and all, and put
them in the bureau drawers in ho
tel or bungalow as dainty as when
they started on their journey.
DO you know that you can fasten
hat down in the tray, or hat box
of a trunk with thumb tacks, and
it won't move until you take it out?
Your flowery Leghorn hat will pack
beautifully this way.
Roll your stockings and use them
for trunk stuffing. Soft and pill
able. they are just what you need.
Above all, pack tightly. That is
the way to avoid wrinkles and
creases.-Boys' and Girls Newspa-

A Storm

The wind was bowling fearfully,
Clouds were piling high;
Don't be so fretful now. my child,
Our guardian angels nigh.
The Song.
| want to tell you a story,
A story of long ago:
A child sat in her mothers arms,
The mother was very old
my child" she said softly,
'Pll not be with you long.
But whatever happens. my child,
Remember this song"
God is with you always.
Our mother, too. on high.
You must remember, too, my child,
Our guardian angels nigh"
Two years have passed since that
time.
The mother passed away.
The child has remembered all the
words
The mother said that day.

Make bag for every shoe, high

Plain linen, in brown, pink or blue,
is the best material, and the bags
should be about eight by twelve

This followed an address by Assist
ant Commissioner George NJ Wiley of
New York in which he urged strongly
the need of big detectives, distant OBJ
iectives. The great need is an educa
tional consciousness on the part of com
munity and teacher. Then the COM
munity will provide adequate and
healthful school buildings, and will pay
salaries sufficient to keep teachers with
the required training and with expert
enee. Then the teacher will hold him
self responsible for the progress of
every boy and girl in his classes, and
will insist upon thorough and accurate
work from all. Upon these conditions
depend the permaneney of our schools.
In closing he spoke of the community
house as the finest war memorial be-
