Chop With Your chums.

Never chop down a sapling with quick, sharp blows. Just suppose that you were with your class in the woods; that you were going to make a camp; that you needed the length from a tall tree for the backlog to your campfire. Someone would say:
 Come on. fellows. Here's fine one. Let's chop it down and cut 1t up"
 Two things might happen. The rest of you might say: "Ali right; we'll help" Then you would take turns in chopping, and every blow would be aimed at the same height It wouldn't be any time at all until that backlog was in place But suppose Alfred said: "Oh. don't like this tree Let's find a pine" And Fred answered: Let's find birch Then suppose Dan said: Let's leave a l three-foot stump" and another wanted | it as high as he could reach. and another wanted to cut it close to the ground, and each began to. cut where he wanted to The tree would be all hacked up but yo,
 wouldn't get it cut down for hours The way to help your class to ge i things done always is to do what the ma | jority decide 10 do. and to do it in tn,
 way they think it should be done. Jus
 say: "All right. fellows. I'll help, anc we'll have rattlinF good time" | ALFRED P. DUGAS, Age 1s. Versailles.

A Faithful Servant.

Once there lived king, who liked faithful men. One day he got two men and brought them to a we'll where there were two baskets. He had the men put the baskets in the we'll and draw the water out. The king then left them to themselves, saying that he would re- turn in the evening. After working for a long while one of the men threw down his basket and said, T will not work another minute, for as quick as we draw the water it goes out through the holes in the basket" The other one said, "As for you, you may go. but for me, will stay, for we are paid for doing this" The other man put away his basket and went away. In the ev- ening when the man that remained faithful went to put his basket away
 also, he saw something glittering in the bottom of the basket. Stopping to pick it up he at once saw it was ring of great
 value which was scooped at the bottom of the well.
 When the king returned that same ev. 1 ening and saw the ring he said, Here is
 the one to be trusted. He then put the
 man at the head of all the servants in 1 his castle.

Like some bold bandit prince he came, His eyes ahash, his soul afiame: His rainnent was of bandit style, He wore a bandits careless smile. His swagger stride. twas plain to see, Was born of practiced tyranny; His armament was crude enough, And yet 1t bore mighty bluff. He hardened for his cold commands To each of us to raise our hands; Instead he passed-as grim as gore Then vanished through the Kitchen door. We listened-listened till we heard His mother get the fatal word: You'd better git some butter-bread Or peril lies upon your headi'
 His mother called for help-but, mol Not one of us would dare to goi You'd better feed the knave," we said That bandit wants some butter-bread Y The bandit laughed in fendish giee, He'd won his battle bioodlessiy Then soon we saw him marching by, A look of triumph in his eye.
 His mother called for help-But, noi Fast in his clutches he displayed
 The profits of his daring raid.
 Down on the steps he boldly sat,
 A soul content and waxing fat.
 How eagerly he downed each crunlb i;
 He smacked his lips. he licked his thumb Then came 6 yawn--long. sweet ant deep Our bold. bad bandit was asleep!

 While I was looking at the other girl I noticed that she had red sweater on. heard other children say that bulls will run after you If you have any red on you.
 Then thought again and then I said to the other girl, Do you know what brought this bull here?" She said, No Then said, T will tell you. IL was
