Jim Wins the Prize

Once upon time there was a
little boy whose name was Jim. He
liked Halloween, so he said he was
going to dress up in his sisters
clothes, and go to his friend Johns
Halloween party. He put on his
sisters clothes and then put on an
apron. He had very funny false
face on. 1t had one big eyebrow,
that was black, and its cheek was
as red as fire, and it was SO funny.
He had horn in his mouth.
He was going in the house, when
he saw lots of boys, all dressed in
different ways. Some dressed like
Charlie Chaplin, and some like old
women, and some like old men, and
they were the funniest sights
They began to dance up and down
when Jim came in. They did not
know him. They had to guess
each other, but they could not
guess who Jim was; so they gave
Jim the prize, a big box Of candy.
He had good time Marion Corsi,

PICTURE STUDY


In our Art gallery there is now
hanging an exquisite religious pic
ture. 1t is called Christ and
Nicodemus." The painter is an
American, III. 0. Tanner.
Mr.. Tanner lived many years in
France. He is painter of relig-
ious subjects. This one is es-
pecially beautiful, and when you
Juniors visit the gallery hope you
will pay particular attention to it.
The picture is of the meeting Of
Christ and Nicodemus on the night
when the latter goes to Christ to
question Him. You remember
Christ had said that we must be
born again, and Nicodemus does
not see how we could be changed
into little children again. Then
Christ tells him that it is in spirit
that we must be born again.
Mr.. Tanner has shown the night
well. The face of Christ is indef-
mite in the blue haze of dusk.
Nicodemus is seated on the ground
with his back to us. His figure Is
veritable question, as 1t leans
toward the pensive figure of Christ.
The pale night light emphasizes
the religious feeling of the picture.
Again, Juniors, l bid you not
miss it.

The Scarcely Cat

Once upon time there were
three small children, and the small
est ones name was Mary. She was
five years old and her two brothers
called her Scarcely Cat" Once It
was time to go to bed, and when
she was In bed, she saw something
dancing in front of her; which she
thought was q skeleton.
She was so scared! She went
downstairs, screaming and crying,
Mother! Mother!" But her mother
was not there and she did not
know what to do The skeleton
came nearer and nearer, and she
got back of the chair, but 1t was
back there too.
"Oh, Motherw But no mother
was to be seen. 1t came nearer
and nearer. and was just ready to
grab her, when-she jumped and
1t was just a dream. She cried.
and in came her mother, and said.
Mary, don't be scared any more,
or you will dream like that again"
SO Mary was never scared any
more, and her brothers never both
cred her, calling her Scarcely Cat"
again. - Mary Di Federico. ga

a help in reviewing. Maybe you
never thought of keeping, for your
own use, a study notebook, in which
you jot down as you go along, i'm
portant points to be remembered.
Keep your notebook up.
II you start such a notebook, you
must make up your mind to keep
1t in order and not to leave any
gaps on days when you feel like
Swimming through the lessons and
don't want to go to the trouble of
taking notes.
Make Notes an Outline
Set down your notes in an out
line form, so that when you review
you can see at glance what the
big things of that particular lesson
are. Don't just jot down ideas as
they come to you, but use an or
derby arrangement.
Try double-page system.
One boy who has made a success
of taking notes uses two pages at
the same time. On the left-hand
page he puts down the general out
line of the lesson, and on the other
side he writes down details he
wants to remember, such as defini-
tons, or little sentences about peo-
pie he is studying in history. How
ever, there is danger of taking so
many notes that you spend too
much time writing down and too
little thinking about the lesson.
Don't make your notes too full.
Use Notes often
Once you have a well-kept set
of notes, you will find you can
make good use of them. Every
time you start new lesson you
can glance over your notes on the
last lesson and connect the two up.
At examination time, too. you will
find your notebooks a gold-mine.
The notebook habit is a time
saving one.
When you have written defini-
ton down or when you have looked
up some ones life in other books
and then set down what you
found, you will have it for always. !
It means that when you forget such

SAINT TO POOR PEOPLE
ONCE RUINED HER HAT

Come quick!" cried Dorothy to
her sister; ''it's raining and We can
put our bonnets on and wear them
out in the rain so they won't be fit
to wear to church" The two lit
tie girls had been given bonnets
by their mother and they both
hated them.
Sunday came and the children
started to church hatless. go put
your hats on daughters" said their
mother. They ran back to get them
and came with the wrecks on their
heads, saying, you see what a
fright they are, mother; we can't
wear them" But the mother was
firm, and the girls wore the bon
nets to church that Sunday and
many Sundays following.
Dorothy Pattison became saint
in the eyes of the poor people. She
nursed them through all kinds of
sickness and was always ready to
go anywhere to care for the poor
and suffering. A statue of her was
erected in Walsall, England, and
the working people love to point it
out to strangers as their Sister
Dora"

The children on the farm thought
they would have some fun with
their visitor, just arrived from
Cleveland.
The biggest boy lifted her up on
huge horse, gave him a slap and
sent him galloping across the field.
When Clara Morris, (born 1849),
grew older she described this awful
beast. His eyes were the size of
soup plates. Large clouds Of smoke
came from his nostrils. He had a
glass-enamelel surface and if he
was half as tall as he felt, some
museum manager missed a huge

She threw one leg over the slip
perry bare back, uttered piercing
shrek, and lickety-split across the

Dear Friend:
j joined the Corn club to see what
could do by myself; to see what
kind of corn / could raise. j chose
my plot on the main road, west of
the barn on the north side of the
lane because 1t was an acre fenced
off to itself.
As ii was in sod l took the team
and plowed and broke II up the 26th
rowed it twice before / planted it.
five and six inches high l began to
cultivate it. / didn't have as good
a stand as 1 would like. / did not
use any fertilizer and it was gravel
soil. The weather did ii more dam
age than anything else.
l got my seed out of my fathers
bin.
l enjoy being in the corn club
very much. / learned how to cult
vate 1t. In dry weather l learned
not to cultivate it too often. Two
or three times is often enough; but
in wet season 1t should be cultivated
more often to keep weeds out and
to keep the soil loose.
i have planned to be in the Corn
club next year. l hope TO- raise 100

use some fertilizer, and a check row

They have Turkish baths, billiard

The young man was forced to stay In
