How Two Children
Helped Save a Dog

Once upon a time there were
some people who were very hard
working; they were also very poor
But the people were very kind to
all birds and animals. The peo'
pies names were Smith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith had two
children whose names were Mary
and Frank. They lived in white
house near a small woods.
One summer day Mary and
Frank were going to the woods to
get some raspberries. They had
started to the woods, but came
back to say goodbye to their
mother.
When they had all their berries
picked they started to go home.
When they had gone a little dis
lance, the children heard noise.
They went where the noise came
from. They found that it was a
dog. They saw that the dog had
hurt its paw. The children didn't
know who owned the dog. The
children felt very sorry for it.
They set their berries down and
Frank took the dog up and carried
it home, while Mary took the
berries. All the way home they
talked about how they would care
for it,
When they got home they told
their mother all about the dog.
The mother took the baskets in the
house and came back with a bowl
of milk. She put the bowl of milk
up to the poor dog and it was so
hungry that it drank that all up,
and they got some bread for it and
it ate that up, too. Then they took
the dog in and bandaged up his
sore paw.
They kept the dog until it got
we'll; then they found out the
owners and gave it back to them
They were sorry to let it go. But
one day it came back to them and
never would leave them again

vWE 81 FRANCES TREdo MONTGOMERY

While Billy listened Jack told
Tom that he had not heard about
the circus. Tom, who had just re-
turned from The Corners where he
had gone on an errand for his
mother then told him about the
show bills that some men were
putting UP on the sides of the post
office and blacksmith's shop. He
said that he had waited so long to
see them all that he had forgotten
all about his errand-he called it
his 'old errand"-that his mother
was waiting for the baking powder
and that he had caught hail
Columbia when he finally got
home.
Jack said that was nothing, it
did not hurt when fellow was
used to it as he was, and that if he
had been in Toms place he would
not be home yet.
From this you can see what sort
of boy Jack was.
Billy Whiskers, who was stand

himself for only the day before he

Wright, who was now talking so
bravely, spanked for going in
swimming after his mother had
told him he mustn't because the
water was too cold and likely to
make him sick. Jack hadn't acted
then as though it didn't hurt. In
fact, it had hurt so much and made
him so mad that he had almost de-
cided to run away from home and
join the gypsies who were then
camping at the river not far away.
But he hadn't gone far after all
and was now waiting for his friend
Tom to tell him more about the cir
Gus. 1t made him almost sick
when he thought that very likely
his mother might, as further pun
ishment for his disobedience, not
only not let him DO to the big show,
but put him to catching potato bugs
instead.

Jack, Il certainly will run away
and never come back" He got
some consolation out of imagining
how much they would miss him.
While he was planning this re-
venge, Tom was talking as fast as
he could and his stories were all
the time getting bigger and bigger.

DEVOTED PEWEE MOTHER

The story is told that one time
some pewees - the birds that
build their nests in deep, shady
woods, came to build in village,
and they had not yet learned the
best way to select places for nests
in their new surroundings. They
seemed to think the main thing
was to select a horizontal limb
suited for the foundation of the
nest. They did not think about
shade. AS they worked early
mornings and evenings, they did
not find out until too late that they
were building where the sun would
strike the nest in the very hottest
part of the day.
The little peewees were Matched
In July. So, each day the devoted
mother bird made screen of her.
self by sitting on the edge of the
nest toward the sun and spreading
her wings so - to protect her lit
tie ones.

Two Surprises

One bright autumn morning.
Robert and Henry asked their
mother if they could go to the
woods and play.
After they got their mothers
consent they started for the woods.
When they had gone about mile
from home they saw donkey in
the pasture eating grass.
Robert, who was the oldest, said
Come on, Henry, we will have a
good chance to have a ride on a
donkey"
Then they made their plans
about how to get the donkey to
stand still. Henry, was to hold
some sweet clover in his hat while
Robert got on the donkey.
After Robert got on the donkey,
Henry threw the rest of the clover
over the fence.
This made the donkey angry and
he started to run fast. This was
great sport for the boys.
The donkey ran till he came
near brook. The donkey then
began to buck He threw Robert
off, He landed across the creek.
When he got to his feet he said,
Let's go home"
But Henry said, 81 have not had
my ride"
Robert said, Hurry up - I'm
going home; I'm hungry"
Robert persuaded Henry to go
home, and when thew got home
here was a surprise.
They found twenty boys and
girls there His mother had a
party in honor of Henry's

"Red's" Adventures

RED is the nickname for a boy
named James, who lived on the
outside of the small town OF
Lorenzo.
Red and his mother lived in a
house by themselves, on a large
river. Red was a naturalist. He
had made large sail boat, in
which he sailed on the river, and
sometimes he would go to town
in 1t.
One day Red got letter from
his cousin in a large city, saying
that he would be at Reds house in
about three days to stay about a
year or so, until time for an acad-
envy to which he wanted to go, to
start.
Red began making preparations
for his cousin Archie's stay; he
was glad to have Archie with him
because they were like brothers to
each other.
The third day, while Red was
out in his museum OF animals and
birds, he heard a growl and quickly
grabbed his gun and headed for
the place where he heard the noise.
While he was running along he
lifted his head to look for his prey
but when he looked up and saw
big grizzly coming right at him, he
lifted his gun and fired. When the
smoke cleared away, the bear was
still coming and about six feet
from him. He had no more shots,
as he had only one in the gun, and
it had been fired.
What will he do?-(See next

BIRD is IN HOSPITAL

Three little canary birds were
Matched at Joseph More a week

in the canary's nest, two of the lit

week old.
The third one is also sick and
has been sent to a specialist,
where it is hoped it will recover.

Hero-A Shepherd Dog

One day in June it was very hot.
A little girl by the name of Edith
was playing in the yard. Her
father and mother had gone to
town and she was there alone. She
had a big shepherd dog and was in
the yard playing with him when it
began to rain and soon 1t began to
thunder and lightning.
She went in the house and ran
upstairs and laid down on the bed,
so she could not see it lightning
and hear it thunder so plainly. She
forgot about the dog.
The house caught on fire, and
Edith had fallen asleep. There
were several people there by that
time and her father and mother
were looking around the house for
her.
The dog came running UP from
the barn and they thought Edith
would be with him. They went
and looked, but she was not there.
When they came back the dog
ran in the house. They called him
but he went right in.
When he came out he was
dragging Edith. They took her to
the doctor and she soon became
well. She thought very much of
the dog after that and called him
