There are frest numbers of the faces that

Boys from the farms have come TO Detroit

one feels that the foreign element has not

of a model patients room. His medical

inspected many hospitals. came back to
Detroit and worked out what to them was

should accommodate a patient. When Mr..
Ford was assured that his doctors knew

them that there was the unit Tor the build.

WAS TT HAUNTED?

Along a lonely country road
there was a little old house set way
distant from all the other houses.
An old man and his daughter lived
alone there. One night his daugh
ter died and that left him all alone.
One night he had just turned out
the light and got in bed, when he
heard something like groan. All
the house was dark, but he just
turned over and said, "Oh, that is
nothing"
He had just got that out of his
mouth when he heard it again. 1t
must be something. 80 he got up
and looked. but he saw nothing.
About two weeks later he was
sitting up late one night, when
something fell.
What was that? Then all of a
sudden he heard the same thing
again. Then he heard something
but not the same thing he had
heard before as II someone were
tapping him on the shoulder. He
turned around and saw his daugh-
ter, but when he went to reach out
to her, she disappeared every
night.
When he was in bed. something
would 60 like this every night, "ou,
GU. ou." until her father died.
After that no one would live in
the house. II was called the
haunted house.

Juvember SO, 1921.
My dear Junior Friends:
l am going to try to write my
first letter telling you about the
first fishing trip l ever took.
My brother, his brother and my
self, with our dogs, some worms
and our can filled with dirt, went
to der creek, where der water was
so shallow that der fishes had all
drowned.
SO, we put der poles on der hooks
and went home; got der gun, went
to der woods, where der trees were
all cut down and der squirrels all
ruined in to der holes where dere
wasn't any; so we gave it up as
good Job and went home.
We found our mudder had been
to der market and gotten fish and
squirrel. 80 we had dem both for
supper and won't to bed empty,
this being the end Of happy day.

or perhaps an extra measure CT
grain. Sometimes these feasts are
given near drinking fountains
where draft or peddlcr's horses
may enjoy the treat.
Every one Of you juniors, prob
ably have seen some Of the won
derful animal pictures painted by
Rosa Bonheur. l suspect DO you
know why :Ee painted them so
well? l think it must have been
because she loved them. She low
ed to watch and play with animals
from the time she was very little
girl, living in the south Of France.
Rosa was quite a tomboy, and 1t Is
said that her father, who was an
artist, and who decided she ought
to learn how to sew when she was
eleven years old, gave it up in de-
spair and let her come into his
studio in her extra hours and
amuse herself with his brushes,
paints and palettes. She went to
the Louvre they had moved to
Paris by that. time-and copied the
works Of the masters, and then her
father moved on a farm, stocked
with animals, where she painted
with great joy-canvasses which
became famous.
1t isn't SO much the being famous
that was important to Rosa Bon
heur as her love of animals and her
joy in watching them.
Although we can not many Of us
become famous painters Of animals
(perhaps some of you draw, as l
do-my pictures of horses and dogs
could never be recognized} but We
can get a great deal of fun out OF
being friendly with animals and
birds, even il they do chirp or bark
when they mean yes" instead Of
saying it as we do.-Aunt Polly.
