Roman BuiIdinKs.

Many years ago. before Christ was born, many gorgeous and magnificent buildings were standing. Among the most beautiful were those of the Romans. Among their greatest was the Amphi- theatre, which measured GIT feet in one direction and in the other SIP
 Another great one was the Circus Maximus. This was built to hold crowds that watched chariot races, and at one time it could hold almost 100000 per sons.
 Some of their buildings, such as porti- cos, temples and theatres, were copied from the earlier Greeks.
 The Romans left some of their build ings, but most of them do not exist now. Many of them are in ruins. But the peo- pie of later times have copied some of them and some of these copies are in our own country now.

The Hungry Kitten,

Far away in the country woods a little black kitten was straying Her jaws were thin and her fur was shaggy. Her bones were sticking out and she could hardly walk. As I was running by the roadside I saw this poor little kitten. As soon as she saw me coming she began to new. l took her up in my arms and ran back to the cottage. My father had just milked the cows, so I gave little kitty some nice warm fresh milk with crackers Now she is fat and has beautiful fur and is my only pet.

walked to the rear, cursed his luck
in fluent French, saying that he was
caught unawares, that an officer never
surrendered, but fought to the end.
