The Mayflies Song

"On Summers breath we drift,
When flags begin to lift
Their purple crowns toward the sun,
And bobo-lincolns sing among
The reeds where little rivers run,
on Summers breath we drift.
When lilies of the mornings gold
Put up their cups the sun to hold,
When meadows show the little ring
With gold-eyed daisies twinkling,
And butterflies are on the wing.
On Summers breath we drift"

ED. Note: The mayflies live only
short time after they are fully
grown Sometimes they are called
day flies" as IL they lived only a
day.)

STORY OF SPEECH
The Greeks

This brilliant race made every
thing beautiful. But, although the
people made things beautiful,
their living houses were very small
and badly ventilated.
Their temples were not intended
to hold hundreds of people as our
churches do. Their religious
meetings were held out of doors.
The Parthenon was a famous
temple in ancient Athens. 1t was
small. The principal room meas
ured less than one hundred feet
long. Part of this room was used
for an altar and for the statue Of
Athena. This temple had eight col
umns on the the ends and seven
teen on the sides.
Socrates was the wisest man of
the Greeks, and the first school
teacher, and one of the Wisest men
in the world He went all around
and asked men questions. For
example: What is the true way
to liver"
Socrates had many enemies.
They accused him of being a
wicked man and that he led young
men astray.
He was condemned to death and
was made to drink a cup of poi
sonous hemlock
So, you see, they killed a very
useful man.-Wilma Morgan, IA
grade, Garfield Junior High school

Fried Potatoes

Ellen and Beth were. doing the
cooking while their mother was
away, visiting Aunt Anne. They
found it great fun at first. They
spent most of their time planning
the meals and looking through the
cookbooks for new recipes. All the
salads and desserts they had long
wanted to try were served their
long-suffering father.
"Well, what have we tonight"
said Mr.. Nilsson, as he took off his
coat.
ELLEN made a nice new salad"
said Beth, "and tried sort OF
frozen pudding. "Then we've fri
casseed-"
Look here" said Mr.. Nilsson,
don't you think it is about time to
cut out the fancy stuff? We're not
milionaires, you know. And then,
even if we could afford big grocery
bills, that sort of stuff is not good
for us. Let's have something
plain and nourishing for a change"
Beth and Ellen were sullen and
pouted all through the meal. The
next evening, when they started to
plan dinner, they were still feeling
offnded. 81 tell YOU" suggested
Ellen. Lets give father a plain,
old-fashioned meal for sure. Let's
have fried potatoes and salt pork
and coffee"
"And let's serve it in the kitchen
and use mothers old dishes. and

cloth somewhere laughed Beth.
The two girls set to work and
soon had the plain meal" ready to

father open the door. Then they
gasped. Some one was with him.
Beth ran to the door and peeked
out. tits Aunt Sara she walled.
"She hasn't been here for years.
And I've always heard about how
fussy she is. What will we do?"
But it was too late. Mr.. Nilsson
and Aunt Sara came straight to-
the kitchen. Their father managed
not to show any surprise, and the
four of them sat down to eat, the
two girls tongue-tied with shame
and confusion.
well" said Aunt Sara. I'm
glad to find two girls who can get
a plain meal without fixings. Most
girls nowadays run up big grocery
bills getting fancy stuff. I'm glad
to find my nieces don't put on
airs"
Beth and Ellen looked at their
father. His eyes were twinkling.
II don't know who the jokes on,
whispered Beth to Ellen, when
their father was talking to Aunt
Sara, "but I sort of think it's on
us!"-Boys' and Girls Newspaper.

LeoIine Tells About
Sound Sleepers In
Muncie Scout Camp


Camp Props was given to the
Muncie Boy Scouts. 1t is seven
miles southeast of Muncie on the
Inflow Spring road. Its camp site
is very nice place and is In
sort of a plain with woods on
the east and west side and the
river on the north.
1t is called Camp Props be
cause the man that gave the camp.
to us was named Props. The
Camp in the summer time Is the
very place to camp. There are
about eight camps held in this
place because 1t is not only good
camping place, but also a good
place for fishing, swimming and
very good bathing.
Altogether, | think there are
about three or four hundred boys
camp there. There is good joke
that the scoutmaster played on
some of the boys, and this is it:
Along in June one year, about
three patrols left Muncie for Camp
Props. They arrived there in
time for dinner. After dinner they
put up their tents and cut five rods
for that night. This took them up
to supper time. Soon after sup
per the boys went to their tents
About midnight the scoutmaster
and some of the boys came out to
the camp in Buick. Tho scout
master brought with them a small
cannon. This they shot off, but II
never stirred the boys in the tent
so they let the tents down on them
This did not wake the sleeping
scouts. To wake them up the boys
kicked each one SO hard that they
gave a grunt and turned over and
went back to sleep again. The
scoutmaster and the boys that
went with them kicked them SO
hard that they all got up and this
gave them good scare, so they
never went to sleep without
guard again.-(The End

CHAPTER ".

Mabel was two years younger
than Sabre, 25 at the time OF her
marriage and just past her 30th
birthday when the separate rooms
were frs; occupied Her habit OF
sudden laughter. rather loud, was
rather Characteristic OF her. Her
laugh came suddenly and very
heartily. at anything that amused
her and without her first smiling
or suggesting by any other sign
that she was amused.
She had a rather long nose and
this pleased her, for she once read
somewhere that long noses were
aristocratc She stroked her nose
as she read.
Mabel belonged TO that consider
able class OF persons who. in con-
versation. begin half their sentences
with And just imagine" or And
only fancy" or And do you
know" These EXPLANATIONS, de
livered with much excitement, are
Introductory TO matters considered
extraordinary. Their users might
therefore be imagined somewhat
easily astonished. But they have a
compensatory steadineSs OF mind in
regard 10 much that mystifiees other
people. To Mabel there was nothing
mysterious in birth. or In living. or
in death. She simply would not have
understood had she been told there
was any mystery in these things
One was born, one lived, one died
What was there odd about it? Nor
did she see anything mysterious in
the intense preoccupation Of an in
sect. or the astounding Placidity Of
a primrose growing at the foot of a
tree. An insect-you killed Il. A
flower-you plucked It. What's the
mystery?
Her life was living among people
of her own class. Her measure of a
man or o. a woman was, Were they
of her class? II they were, she glad

society Whether they had attractive
qualities or unattractive qualities or
no qualities at all did not affect her.
The only quality that mattered was
the quality OF being well-bred.

Mabel seemed suddenly 20 have
lost her interest in her exhibits and
their cage. She rather hurried Mark
through the kitchen premises and,
moving into the garden, replied
rather abstractedly 10 his plans Tor

Suddenly she said, Mark. / DO

gave her a playful squeeze. About

And again that vague and tran

mind and remained in his mind.
