Devoted Bear
Gives Life, but
Ship is Saved

To the heroes of the sea-add
one bear. To the work of "Nigger"
mascot of the steamer Ponce,
the crew of that ship attribute
their lives and probably the safety
Of the ship.
While the navigation laws and
those statutes controlling the
status of seamen afloat are intri-
cate, there probably is nothing de-
filming the duties of bear aboard
ship. Thus a bear at sea has
nothing to guide him.
He Is away from his natural
haunts and there is nothing lin
the books" But "Nigger" had kept
his weather eye open.
Could Smell Storm
He could smell storm, he could
feel the slap of wave and he
could tell the meaning of fear and
hesitation when shown in the faces
of men. He also knew that when
men are in trouble, though they
may be fond of a fine, open-hearted
bear, they crave the assistance of
other men.
When going along the Florida
coast recently, the Ponce was
struck by one of those sudden, vio-
lent gulf Of Mexico storms. There
were two men on watch. One was
at the wheel.
The other man was at the bew,
as lookout. A wave swirled over
and knocked that man senseless.
The man at the wheel could not
leave to arouse any one below.
Bear Takes Command
"Nigger" looked about and then
went below. He pounded on the
door behind which the captain was
to be found. Also he pounded hard
against that Of the cabin contain
ing the mates. Then he took blow
or two at the door leading to the
crews quarters. Then the bear
went up on deck.
Smooth decks, swept by waves,
are rather worse for bear than for
a man. One wave knocked Mig
ger" off his feet and as the men
rushed to the decks they saw
one roll "Nigger" over
board.
So, while the Ponce arrived
safely, it lis minus a mascot, and
the crew is not altogether happy

agreeable to him and gives him a
good knowledge Of that trade.
Schools teach us all the traits
that will be Of help to us in the
future. Among the many things
we find is that we learn best when
we study and work most diligently
and joyously. That is one Of the
secrets of success. But we can not
hope to be useful men and women,
and successes in life, without
ability. Ability is acquired by the
gradual education which we re-
ceive in school. Mastering our
lessons each day; entering into
the school citizenship; acquiring
habits Of promptness;- all are
the means Of acquiring ability.
Everything depends upon our
energy, health, honesty. determin-
alton and ability, but the greatest
of these is ability.
Sincerely,
COUSIN HELEN.

THE GAM E L
Ship of the Desert

If you have ever studied about
Arabia in school you no doubt
learned all about camels, as these
animals form the principal wealth
of the Arab. Without the camel
the Arab would be helpless. He
could never penetrate the vast
deserts where he lives.
There are three varieties of cam
els. The camel that has two humps
on its back is called the Bactrian
camel; the animal that has one
hump Is called the Arabian. The
Dromedary camel and the Arabian
are often confused. The Drome-
Diary is a lighter animal, and is not
used to carry loads, but is used as
means of accomplishing swift,
light transportation.
The Camel = rightfully called
"Ship of the Desert can traverse
the hundreds of miles of desert
wilderness of sand. 1t has re-
markable power OF drinking that
makes this possible. 1t can, at one
drinking, consume sufficient water
to serve it for several days, and en-
ables 1t to go from one station to
another without drink. 1t would
no doubt, be of interest to know
just how this animal is able to do
this. Let us therefore briefly dis
cuss the peculiar structure of the
stomach of the camel. In its stom-
cells, into which the water passes,
ach are a great number of deep
and Is then prevented from escap-
ing which closes the mouth of the
cells. When the animal feels
thirsty, 1t has the power to cast
some of the water contained In
these cells into its mouth. That
in a simple way Is the secret of this
interesting physical trait Of this
animal.
No other animal is SO admirably
adapted for walking on the loose
sand as the camel. It's foot is com
posed of large elastic pads. which
spread as the foot is placed ON the
ground. To guard 1t from injury
when 1t kneels to be loaded, the
parts of the body on which its
weight rests are defended by thick
callousities. The largest of these
callousities is on the chest; the
others are placed on the joints Of
the legs.

CHRISTMAS BOXES

your black paint to make half
inch band around the edge of the
top. If you are very careful, you
can also encircle the picture with a
fine line the shape of the box.
Pencil Boxes are Useful
A pencil box may be made from
small wooden box with grooved
corners and a flat lid that slides
into place. Paint the box and lid
separately, using red, or an orange
red. With the fine brush paint a
vine-like design in black over the
box, making here and there clus.
ter of big dots to resemble flowers.
Paint your old pasteboard boxes
black and put on a stenciled de-
sign. The conventional design in
the picture was made by painting
square in purple, then a large
gold circle The long, rounded
forms are in French blue and the
large and small dots are in purple.
These boxes would be pretty, how
ever, decorated with a cut-out pic
ture, painted like the one for the
metal box.
Don't forget to let each color dry
before adding a new one.

FAMOUS WOMEN
Hannah WhItaIl Smith

ooh, Mother, what are you do
ing?" cried Hannah in a woe-be.
gone tone.
"Just what you see me doing, my
DEAR" answered the mother as she
calmly proceeded to cut the beauti-
full long fringe from the white
china crepe chawls which were the
pride of her daughters hearts. She
had been to Quaker meeting and
while there she had decided that
her daughters might become vain
over their shawls. The girls looked
on and felt that their own hearts
were being cut as they saw the
lovely. fringe fall to the floor.
Hannah Whitall Smith became
a great religious worker. Soon
after the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union was organized she
began to teach those women so
they could more effectively carry
out their mission.

ware was the first and Rhode

Dear Juniors:

Dear Juniors:
We even have time specialized
these days. Each week we have
dedicated to some good cause, and
this week has been Education week
We are preached to great deal
about education. One would think
that unnecessary, that we all appre-
ciate the value Of an education in
these days. But it is not so, Jun
iors. We do need great deal of
preaching along that line.
1t is only one in 5000 children
who start school together that
finishes high school. The per
cent. that go to college is ever so
much lower.
The time to get an education is
when one is young. Those who are
past the age for school, realize
their loss after it is too late. They
see that the educated person is
getting the biggest yield from his
or her efforts, That accounts for
the amount Of preaching along
that line.
Getting results is what we want.
Linville Wissler won the contest
because his corn yield was the
best. That was not an accident.
Linville wanted results, so he used
his knowledge Of corn growing,
and it worked like charm.
l think that the best advice that
can be given us, Juniors, who are
starting out in life, is first to Sc
lect some one definite line of en-
deavor, which shall be pleasant to
us. Then as we go through our
studies at school always keep that
one thing in our minds as def
mite, object. If we do that and we
follow this object as we get older,
sooner or later our efforts will be
crowned with success. We do not
wish to be Jack of all Trades.
1t should be our object that our
study and learning should fit us to
do ONE THING WELL.
We live in a country that has
opportunities for all of us. 1t is an
enlightened country. 1t is inter
ested in educating its boys and
girls that they may be capable of
assuming the opportunities that 1t
has to offer. Success here is open
to every one who is determined to
make something of himself.
The education that this country
offers us gives us confidence in
ourselves. 1t fits us to choose our
occupations. 1t teaches us to over
look disbursement. 1t provides
vocational training so that boy or
girl can see before he is through
school what occupation Is most

For these boxes you may use
either enamelac, buying black, vivid
red, white, and green, or the seal
ing wax paint, which costs very lit
tie to make. Buy three or four
sticks of sealing wax, which sells
for about eight cents a stick, and
some denatured alcohol. Break each
stick into three or four pieces,
place in a small cup or pan, and
cover with the alcohol. Allow this
mixture to stand overnight, and in
the morning stir it UP. If 1t is not
thin enough to paint with, add more
alcohol.

you wish to make one of these for a

in her room and paint it to match,

paint. When this has dried, put on
a silhouette in black.

The Chinese Cup
The First Thanksgiving

The Pilgrims did not like to say
the kings prayers, so they went to
Holland. They liked Holland very
much, but they did not want their
children to grow up Dutch, so they
set sail for America. This was in
1920. Here they found Indians
living in the woods. They built
log houses. The Indians showed
them how to plant corn. They had
hard time when they first came.
In 1922 the Pilgrims had their
first Thanksgiving. The Indians
came to this feast.-Leona W.,

Young Fnanciers

Sons OF Clarence Ingeman were
planning a trip to Arlie Hum
miutte's farm. They borrowed one
dollar of their father, which they
spent on traps. After arriving at
their destination, they set their
traps, and were soon rewarded
with a skunk. They sold the pelt
for SO. They paid their father his
one dollar, and had two dollars left,
with the traps. What business man
of Richmond can show as quick a
turnover OF invested capital?

The First Ice Makes
Children Very Happy

Billy had been watching the pond
every day for week. This morn
ing .he went out to look before
breakfast. Yes, Jack Frost had
hidden all the little rifles with a
smooth sheet Of ice.
"The pond is frozen! the pond is
frozen!" he shouted.
Mary and Ellen jumped out OF
bed and ran down stairs. 1t did not
take long to eat breakfast that
morning, and they were soon down
at the pond. They took the sled
along, and coasted down the hill as
they went.
Billy could skate the fastest be-
cause his legs we're the longest.
Billy could skate In circles, too. He
would swing his legs about and
circle and twist while his sisters
watched.
There was an air hole not far
away and as Billy skated near 1t,
one Of his skates flew off and fell
on the very edge of the air hole.
Mary and Ellen both ran to get it
for him. Ellen reached 1t first, but
she slipped down as she came UP
and tipped the skate over into the
water.
If Billy had not hobbled up and
pulled her back, she might have
fallen in and got drowned. Poor
Billy! he had to. wait for the ice
to go off before he could fish up
his lost skate.-2A grade, Starr

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata

6eetnovens moonlight Sonata
One day Beethoven and his

of Vienna. They heard some won
derful music. They stopped and

quainted with a brother and sister.
They discovered that the little
girl was blind. She was playing a
beautiful piece of music. They
asked her where she learned 1t.
She said that she learned 1t at her
neighbor's and then she came home
and played 1t. Then Beethoven
played his composition.

Beethoven arose to leave, but the

remain and play again for them.
Then Beethoven offered to give the
