Looking Back

Sometimes l look back to my
childhood days,
The lessons l learned and the
games | played.
And the path | walked with my
brother Bill
That led to the school house that
stood on the hill.
The old dinner pail can never
forget,
The big red apples l can taste
them yet,
The good mince pies and doughnuts
sweet,
That mother made for us to eat.
We wore red top boots with copper
toes,
A knit wool scarf to protect our
nose,
A calico shirt and black cravat,
Blue jeans pants and coat to
match.
Our gloves were made from our old
clothes,
From white wool yarn mother knit
cur hose.
We wore plain clothes, that was
true,
But we had more to eat than town
folks do.
My father owned a little farm,
A one-room log house and big red
barn;
Bill watered the horses and fed
them hay,
l MIXED the COWS two times a day.
We gathered the pumpkins at
morning light,
And picked the apples after school
at night.
On Saturday we husked the yellow
corn,
We all went to church on Sunday
morn.
The old fireplace was a sacred
scene,
Yet 1t seems to me like a wakeful
dream.
We studies our lessons by its
cheerful light,
We popped corn and told stories
until late at night.
There we hung our stockings at
Christmas time,
My baby brothers and Bills and
then came mine.
1t was my old home, the place OF
my birth,
Where we all knelt and prayed by
the old brick hearth.

it. She did not get but two things.
That was piece of coal and a corn
cob. She was awful mad.
Jack said, Il got lots Of things.
Did you? Sister you see told you
Santa Claus would hear you when
you said that?"
She said, 81 will believe in Santa
Claus now" She did not tell him
so until a long time after Christ
mas.
So the next time that Christmas
time came they both got the same
present. Do you want to know what
it was? 1t was little baby sister.
1t made the boy Jack mad. He
said, Mother, will you get me a
baby brother next Christmas"
They were very happy after

A NICE CHRISTMAS

Once upon time there was a
little girl whose name was Grace.
Grace was a very poor little girl.
Her father was dead and all the
money they had was what her moth
Ell made by doing washings. Grace
had to go the grocer's for her moth
er one day before Xmas. She met
a little girl on her way who was
crying very hard. Grace ask her
what was the matter and she said
she was lost. Grace took the little
girl home. The little girls father
and mother gave Grace a great
deal of money and They had very

The rich girl was going to have
a party that night and she wanted
to invite Alice. Her mother said
she could and the rich girl invited
Alice to her party.
Alice said she could not 90 be-
cause she hadn't any dress to wear.
The rich girl gave her a dress
and her father gave Alice's brother
a suit and the rich girls father was
a doctor and he cured Alice's moth
er.
He sent Alice to a physician and
he cured her.

Once there was a little girl that
did not believe in Santa Claus. This
little girl was named Betty and she
had a little brother and his name
was Jack.
Jack said, "Sister. do you believe
in Santa CLAUSE"
She said. mo, don't"
Jack said, why don't you be-
lieve in Santa Claus"
She said. Because you always
get more when you don't believe
in him"
SO when Christmas eve came she
gave her mother her best kiss and
Jack came and she went to bed
happy. When she got up, Jack
beat her up, and then she got up
and tore downstairs and went into
the front room and looked at the
tree. Then she saw her stocking

Copper Rain Cheers
Sixty Happy Guests
at "Y" Mems Party

Did you ever see a shower OF
pennies, hundreds of them?
That Is what the guests of the
party given by the "Y" dormitory
Monday evening in the association
building saw and they smiled
very broadly when they learned
that they could keep all the cop
per rain drops" that they could
catch.
The party began at $50 O'Clock
and needless to. say, all the 60
guests who were Richmond boys,
aged not less than six and not more
than twelve year, who do not u.s.
ually see much of Santa Claus,
were there at the very beginning
and stayed till the very last, having
an exciting, uproarious and alto
gether hila rious good time all the
time.
During the first hour of the party
when games were played in the
gym, it was like an April day.
first there would be a shower of
pennies from somewhere up in the
direction of the running track and
then it would clear and then it
would rain again. One hundred
and fifty of these copper rain drops
was the average gathered by each
one of the eager scramblers. They
never wanted to get rained on so
badly before Prizes were given
for each game, which were lively
ones, too, with which every junior
will agree who has played such
games as Bombardment and similar
ones which Mr.. Harding knows
about, and during all these games
there was Santa Claus walking up
and down scattering candy and
pennies in such abundance that the
guests began to think that they
were really in some sort of a magic
land where you picked candy off of
bushes and money grew like trees.
After that, the guests and their
hosts proceeded to the splendidly
bright tree which was surrounded
by a lot of big, bullying sacks, look
ing eager to be opened. Each
guest was presented with sack
What was in it? Well. there were
two pair of wool stockings, pair
of wool gloves, a wooden cap, a
pocket knife, one-half pound of
candy, a pass to the Washington
theatre, eight cookies, apples and
oranges.
Having explored the innermost
corners of their sacks, the boys
were all given ride home in au-
tomobiles, and now, if you ask any
of these boys if they believe In
Santa Claus, they will answer
Sure"
P. S.: The Scouts of Troop S
had the fun of getting the tree for
this party. They hiked out a mile
beyond Chester for it last Saturday
morning and brought it home in a
trek cart. Besides, they were on
duty the night of the party as
guards and guides.

Al;ce's Christmas

1t was the day before Christmas
and Alice and her brother were
sitting on the floor before a big,
old-fashioned fire place.
They were very poor. Their faith
err was dead and their mother was
sick in bed and Alice was crippled
and she had never walked in her
life.
1t was hard work for Alice's
brother, Melvin, to get wood and
coal for a living.
On the other side of the street
where Alice lived was a very rich
