THE LOST DINNER

One day in the early spring after
a severe winter of deep snow, a
farmer turned COW and a sheep
out, in the valley at the foot of a
mountain to Craze on the young
grass. This farmer had missed so
many animals in the fall, so he
thought he would not turn out all
his flock. The farmer took his gun
along with him SO he could sit in
the bushes and see what had be-
come of his animals in the fall
He knew that if it was a wild
animal taking them it would GER
tainly be hunting for food after
such a winter 1t was not long till
his watching was rewarded. He
heard a noise upon the side of the
mountain and he looked around to
see what it was. 1t was lion COM
ing down the side of the mountain
looking every where for food. He
was so poor that you could have
counted his ribs. The farmer kept

very quiet and watched the lion,
but the lion did not see the farmer.
The lion kept going down closer
and closer to the foot of the noun
tain. till at last he espied the COW
and sheep. He slipped around and
kept very quiet so they would not
hear him.
Finally he got up close behind
the sheep and had his jaws wide
open just ready to pounce upon the
sheep, whine the farmer crept out
from behind the bushes and shot at
the lion. 1t fell dead and the farm
er never had any more trouble aft

GLEN MILLER

Glen Miller Park what picture scene
With fields and valleys of velvet green,
With high reaching trees the wooded hills
With sandy soil by the rocks and rls
With bubbling springs by the shady nook.
Near the rafting, noisy winding brook,
With permanent bridge to its stream
While the sunshine makes the water CLEAN
By its winding path the wild rose blooms,
All kinds of birds sing loud their tunes;
With rustic bridge and driveway wide
And blooming flowers on every side.
With sunny banks the wdespreading lake,
Where we boatrde in summer and in winter skate,
With grassy mound under the wide-spreading trees,
And sweet smelling clover for the small honey bees
In spring have watched the lofty trees
Where the robins nest among their leaves,
Drinking the running sap from the maple trees
While the wild flowers grow beneath my feet.
/ gathered on the hills the mushroom
When the dandelions and wild flowers bloom.
And the strawberries l picked the last of May;
The mulberries sweet on hot summer day.
In midsummer days have stopped to rest.
When the trees and flowers were at their best.
/ have quenched my thirst at the cooling spring,
While the brown thrush did for happiness sing
| have walked its path on a summer night,
When the moon from its starry sky shone bright
The rustling leaves pause to hear
And woodland echoes everywhere
In autumn picked the milk weed pod
With the maple leaves and the golden rod,
BY the shady brook where often rest
gather from its stream the water cress.
In the tall yellow grass the grasshopper hides
Where the cricket chrps and the katydid cries
/ crossed the hill brown and gray,
On bright and sunny autumn day
In winter watched the frozen lake
Where crossed many times my cey skates,
While the icices hung from the lofty trees
And the flakes played with the winter breeze.

Five years ago." began Harvey.
81 lived with my father on farm
in Iowa. He was very severe to
me. / had to work hard. II came
time for me to start to High school.
He wanted me to do a mans work
on the farm besides, l hated both
the school and the work, and each
one made me hate the other more.
l ran away to the city.
During the past five years
have lived in the city. 1t was not
pleasant. For three years | had
very hard time. My folks wanted
me to come back home, but | re-
fused. My pride would not let me.
Then, after three years. secured a
position in new factory making
acetylene power plants for lighting
houses. 1t seemed to me that
power plant to light house and
all the buildings on farm is GER
tainly needed. ! resolved to learn
all about the business. The super
intendent of the factory was very
kind to me. Through him learned
that the president of the company
was very anxious to develop sys-
TEN by which the acetylene lights
could be automatically lighted. l
resolved to solve this problem.
1t seemed to me that 1t could
be done with electricity. so |
started to study electricity. Invent

problem of the automatic lighting
shortly before Halloween. The
night that the house burned was
simply trying to perfect one or two
points that the President of the
Company is not satisfied with.

President enclosing check for

Aunt Polly:
Howard and Herald Brooks, of
East Haven avenue, of Richmond,
were at Greensboro, visiting their
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Nicholson. We had a good visit
and good old time.
One afternoon us boys took no
ton for a lunch, so the Brooks boys
got some of grandma's eggs from
the barn and boiled them good and
hard Then we opened them and
we found we had boiled eggs and
chickens, as the eggs were taken
from a setting hen. That spoiled
our lunch. Then, In the evening,
grandpa got us some pop; that was
much better than the eggs.
We will go home and fix for

THE WHITE FLAME

The weeks passed and Harvey
began to look less worried.
Finally. on Friday morning an
other letter. fatter than usual,
came to him, Harvey was happy
again. He asked to see the sheriff.
Il wish you would let me talk to
Sol Egan." he requested 81 have
some information for him that will
change this whole case. If he can
come over | want to talk to both
of you together"
The sheriff consented and that
afternoon Sol drove over to the
county seat. With him came Pete
Forgan. The Egans were staying
with the Forgans. Pete had asked
to come along and Sol had con-
sented to bring him.
In the office of the jail behind a
locked door Sol and Pete sat with
the sheriff. The prisoner was
brought in. Sol was more angry
than ever when he saw how happy
Harvey looked.
II want to tell you story, gen.
tlemen." began Harvey ut is a
story that will explain everything
1t will prove that the burning OF
your home was an accident. and
will show that am ready and able
to more than pay you for the losses
which that accident has brought to
you"
Sol sat speeches.. Pete and the
sheriff leaned forward to catch
what Harvey had to say.
