 For the first half year we had arsth. metie, and it was all seventh grade rorl. l did not think it very hard because ! had 1t the year before. The next han year We had algebra. Well, I thought that was easier than arithmetic.
 A month before our final examination we had planned for a show for our graduation. We could not have the show so We determined to have only recital
 First we had the high school march We marched from the door to the stage and when We were on the stage we aI sat down together
 While We were all seated we had n7u- sic. Then we had the salutatory by Miss Ruth Cleland. Then we had a littls music in between, after which we had a piece entitled The Makers of the Flag, by Miss Irene Evans.
 We had piano solo by Vernon War. hurst and the valedictory by Miss Eliza beth Cooper, which was very beautiful
 Then there was the conferrinE of diplo- has by the superintendent, J. L. Chap man.

RvId Your Deg House;
 Give Him Home of His Own

BY c. N. HYDK
 Build your dog a house. You get peeved at him because he strays away every now and then. Wouldn't you stray too if you were kicked out to sleep under the porch or in the barn every nights Well then. if you want your dog to stay at home, build him a kennel that he can call home.
 The design suggested here is in- tended merely to give ideas. How or namentA or distinctive the dog-house will he depends on it's builders ingenu- lty and skill. The dimensions also are for dog of average size, Each builder should suit the dimensions to his dog, by measuring the space needed by the dog as he lies comfortably stretched out on his side with head and leas extended-give him at least that much hooT space in his house. Measure the distance from the floor sa the top of his shoulder to get the height of the door.
 Another matter is ventilation. Place the kennel on posts or blocks, with it's floor 2 inches above ground. to keep it dry in rainy weather. Provide holes to permit circulation of air.
 In the design shown here, the ground plan of the kennel is 26x4o inches, and 1t is built of boards from packing boxes Each side and end is built sep aIately with cieats holding the boards. The floor should be larger, 8x42, set up on blocks. Each side is 20 inches (A-R) by 40 (A-c). Each end is 26 (A-B) by 20 (DsB) with the point of the gable rising 3 inches higher. Ths

Bob,s Le..eN.


 Dear Uncle Jed Bob was q little boy who would never do anything for his mother unless she gave him few cents for his trouble.
 One day she forgot to nay him as usual and Bob was sulky long time So he thought of presenting his mother with the following bill: Chores cents. wiped the plates cents, ran errsEds cents {; total 10 cents.
 Seeing what Bob was up to. his mother gave him a 10 cent piece without saying anything. but at supper he found a bill at his plate 1t ran thus: Lodging 10 cents. food 10 cents, clothes Is centS prepared meals Is cents total 50 cazts.
 Bob let out a cry of dismay. He had but 10 cents and thought his mother would not give him his supper until he paid her But how good it looked Then the boy saw how much he owed his dear mother, and bursting into tears he beg ged forgiveness, which was gladly given to him by his mother. You may believe 1t was a big lesson for Bob.

Experience of a Pearl.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am a beautiful pearl. I was picked up in the Chesa- peake bay by a man in a large fishing vessel. I was n the oyster shell talking to the other pearls in there when We heard noise and then as we looked
 up large net was drawing us together and then to our surprise we were brought up into the boat where they took us out and put us in a basket and took us to shore where they opened the shells and took us out. They took all of
 us and put us in a bag, I heard one of them say When we take these pearls l to the jewellers we will get some money l for them, and when I heard this I was
 very glad The reason was that would see more people there than in the bay When we first reached the jewellers
 store he took us out and looked at us i and then he gave the men some money | for us. He took me in & little room
 and there he polished me and made me quite small so that would fit in beau tifuI solid gold ring. After he finished
 polishing me and fixing me into the ring l he then put me into beautiful red plush
 box.
 I didn't stay very long in the window
 before a girl bought me and she wore ne
 to work. She lost me as she was throw ing her lunch away in 8 garbage can and the man that picks up the garbage emptied me in the dump and I am stif 1 lying here. waiting to be picked up. LENA BERTHIAUME, Age fl. 1 Dayville.

A Trip to coney Island.

Dear Uncle Jed: The last time my family went to New York we went by automobile to Coney Island from Brock lyn.
 As 1t was the last night of the Mardi Gras the place was crowded.
 We started from Brooklyn at o'clock and made the 2s miles in a very short time.
 When we were four miles from the entrance we ran into mass of ma chimes. In about a half hour as far as the eye could see backward or forward were machines of every size and descrfp- ton.
 Along the way people were selling eats, drinks and material to decorate both human beings, and machines.
 There was an awful racket of dogs barking men shouting and women sing ing their wares, From everywhere horns could be heard chatting. When we finally entered coney Island it was s.3e p. m.
 Of all the crowds I ever saw that beats the record. There were aristo- crats. office boys. maids. milhonaires and Peggars, yes, there were people of all natieHalities and ereeds. For a pool count there were about 1,oee,aee gath cred there. I guess they were thicker than stars. The place was Deautlfully lighted with all different colors. Every. thing was in full swing. We took few rides on the merry go-round and the looq-the-loop. My sister and I then went thruugf icosers lane which was very interest ing. We hotH sat down on a earriag, which just holds two. The carriage wa 1 on track and there were many O 1 these carriages. Soon we started nov ing through lighted alley. By and 3. the lights went out and smack, smael

Dear Uncle Jed: One hundred yeArz ago grain was cut with a sickle or era dle A sickle is sharp steel blade shaped life a half moon. The cradle looks like a big rake with six teeth. One of the teeth Is a sharp blade longer than the other five. One day a Virginia farmer said to himself: Why can't, I make a machine that will cut my grain more quickly than a dozen men can out it in a day2 So he made a machine. but 1t did not satisfy him. and he left 1t out
 side to rust This farmer lived in vir-
 ginia Mr. McCormiok's son, Cyrus Me
 Cormick, tried to improve it. He learned two great lessons which are, to do one thing at a time and to do the hardest thing first.
 The hardest to find out was why his fathers machine would not throw the wheat straight so it could be easily tied up in bundles Cyrus succeeded, but he could not sell the machine because the farmers could not afford it. One day Cy- rus met a friend and his friend asked
 him: "why don't you go west with your l maehine?" So Cyrus went west and he sold his machine. The machine Is called
 the reaper.
