NO SENSE HERE

Dear Mary: am going to tell
you about my trip in Brooklyn to
New York. When got there took
a street car ride on a jitney bus to
park over the railroad track under
meath it. I saw skyscraper dog
dancing on his tail with tomatoe
In his mouth, that had pink tassels
hanging on it; then a store. that
had a greenish sign on the top of
its floor, fell up and one people fell
over it. The funniest thing l saw
was the Hudson river sliding down
a hill full of snow over the rail
bridge. forgot to tell you about
what / saw at the park. l saw
monkeys eating acorns off of a
cocoanut tree, and they had on
black cravats with purple dots and
yellow stripes Of red. The CRATES
wore green spots while the tigers
had stripes of blue. My pop got
me green pink lemonade from the
elephants hay loft, and l found a
red lemon in a cracker-jack box.
Then we went back to the hotel in
the jitney bus and had black corn
pumpkin pie for supper. l think
this is all saw. so I'll bid you good
bye with one eyelid open and the
teakettle shut. Also hope this let
ter finds you as 1t leaves me with a
broken leg and my wig on wrong.
With much true goodbyishness.

IMAGINATIVE POEM

WINS FIRST PRIZE

Reminding us great deal Of an

lowing poem, written by Hilda
Conkling, nine years old This is
one Of group Of three poems by
this junior writer. which won first
prize in contest carried on by The
Touchstone. an art magazine pub
lished In New York:
The Old Brass Pot.
The old brass pot in the corner
Shines and scowls at the kitchen
pans.
Like stubborn king
He sits and frowns -.
Orders them about
When I'm not looking.
He was a gift from the fairy
What can l do?
He boils rice when l want it,
Makes broth when 1t Is needed:
He Is magic
But he growls all day.
Without him 1t would be pleasant
and comfortable
In my little cottage
With wistaria growing over the
open windows -.
What can / do?
He tells the frying-pan
To stay on its hook
He shouts at the other pans
In a gruff voice -.
In my coy kitchen.
They all might be so happy
Tell me-but you must whisper
What can l do!

HOT ASHES IN JAR
HEAT JAPANESE SCHOOLS

The Japanese children do not go
to the kind of school we do. The
school begins at six and lasts till
five. l think they learn more than
we do. don't you? They always
take their shoes off before they
go in. They do this because the
shoes would break the mating il
cushions that they kneel on. Their
desks are like little stools, about
four inches high and twelve inches
long, The children sit around the
side of the wall. The teacher sits
in the middle of the room. They
have funny way of heating. They
put hot ashes in box or jar.
Would you like this way of heat
ing? l would not.

CRAB HUNTING IN CUBA

One Of the strange little animals
that live in Cuba, Is called crab.
The animal lives in the rocky hills
near the sea. Crabs of this kind
have eight legs, four on each side.
The pair in front have sort of
pinchers of jaws. With these the
crab can defend himself because it
has great strength and can almost
break a stick with his jaws. His
body is almost as large as my fist.
and Is covered with hard shell.
Inside this shell there are brown
eggs. and when they are cooked
they look like pancakes. The crab
has funny eyes because he can
make them stand up like little
sticks and when you strike him he
draws his eyes in to protect them.
When the crab runs. he runs side
ways and never backwards or for
wards. The crab goes down to the
sea shore about the month OF
March or April and lays its eggs
in seaweeds. Then it returns to
the mountains. l sometimes went
crab hunting with some Cuban chill
dren, and we would catch the crabs
and get their eggs and take them
home to eat. (The end)-Philip

FOR THE BIRDS COMFORT

When building bird house, beaI
in mind these suggestions which
were made to the contestants in a
bird house contest held by Kansas
City. Mo-, schools several years
ago:
Wood is better material to use
than earthernware or metal.
An outside perch is not necessary
and not to be advised.
As birds dislike paint, an IN
painted house Is best.
The entrance of the house should
face away from the direction OF
the worst storms.
A small drainage hole in the
floor of the house under the nest is
advisable. Ventilation holes may
be put In the sides Of the house I'M
der the caves.
Set the heads of nails and screws
deeply into the woods and cover
them with putty.
Robins like to live in large trees.
Wrens, Catbirds and Thrashers
prefer thick shrubbery.
BY writing to the department Of
agriculture. Washington, D. c.. bull
letins telling how to build bird
houses may be secured free Of
charge.

Several days after this when
Billy Jr., was ont in the mountains
he noticed that it grew suddenly
cold and that light flurries of snow
began to blow and swirl through
the mountain passes. He climbed
TO the top of q peak whence he
could get a good view OF the clouds
and saw. advancing from the direc-
ton Of the main range, a terrible
black cloud that was hurting snow
and sleet on the mountains and
valleys as it came.
II took him but q moment TO de-
eide what to do. for he knew II the
young lambs were caught out In
such a severe storm they would be
frozen to death. So he turned back
60 the flock and told them to fol-
low him as quickly as they could
and not stop to take even a mouth
full of grass. He led them into the
the deepest, most sheltered canon
he could find and told them to stand
close together so as to keep each
other warm as possible and to be
careful to see that the young sheep
and lambs were. on the inside where
1t would be the warmest
Here they stood while the storm
r1ged and blew over and above the
canon, but the sheep were SO shell
tered that scarcely any snow fell on
them, as the force Of the wind car
ried 1t over. 1t grew darker and
darker and time to go home, but
Billy said:
I'VE will have to stay here all
night. 1t will never do to 80 out in
such storm onto the open prairie.
Half Of you would perish with the
cold before you got across the
valley"
So there they stayed in their
little sheltered nook until about
midnight. when they were startled
by hearing the weird yelping bark
Of a pack of prairie wolves coming
straight down the canyon. This
threw the sheep into terrible
panic. for they knew that same
pack of wolves only too well; they
had made raids on them before and
carried off a baby lamb, and, now
and then, an old sheep.
Now Billy had never met or even
seen a wolf in his life. but he had
absolutely no fear of them. as he
knew they were too much like dogs |
20 be afraid of. Still he did not !
know how he would come out fight
ing a whole pack by himself, and
from the sound of their voices. 1t
seemed as II there must be at least
fifty Of them.
