A Sorry Tale
Loafers, sleepers,

! little girl was delighted and
wanted to put it on right away. AS
they were going away that after
noon, the mother allowed her to
dress up in her new dress. The
little girl was so pleased! The she
ran out doors to play.
She always liked to walk on the
stone coping which formed the
base of the iron fence, so she ran
to it, and began walking on it as
usual, not noticing that the fence
looked more shiny and black than
it had before. 1t was fun walking
on the stone, holding on tight to
the iron fence, so that she would
not slip off onto the sidewalk
BUT, when she got to the end of
her walk, she realized her hands
felt sticky, and she looked at them
and then down at her dress.
The sight she saw was terrible
to her eyes!
Her new pink dress was covered
with great streaks and splotches
of black paint-for the fence had
just been painted.

She ran down into the basement
of the library, where the news
papers were stacked to be filed.
In hurry she rubbed her hands
over the papers, then taking some,
she rubbed them over her dress.
trying to get the black off, but it
was on to stay. ..
Slowly she went home and
showed her mother her sorry
plight. After that the pink dress
could never be worn, and the green
dress was brought out again and
was the best dress" for that
season.
The little girl whose new pink
dress had such a pathetic exist
ence, has since then had a great
deal to do with the library and has
spent much time and thought in
helping to make our city library
the center of interest and helpful
ness it should be in the community.
Probably you wouldn't guess the
name of this little girl-it was then
Ada Stubs, and she grew up to be
Mrs. Ada Bernhard, who has been
librarian for some years in our
city library.

How Speech Grew
In Old Phoenicia

We are now talking about the
people in old Phonicia, who lived
between the mountains called
Lebanon, and the eastern end OF
the Mediterranean sea.
These people were very adven-
turous. They went sailing around
the sea. and the people from the
mountains brought wax, honey,
gold. silver and cinnabar to ex-
change for dyes.
The leader of this people was
called Strong Arm. He lead them
over the sea.
He found little fish which pro-
duces very beautiful dye. This
dye was called the Tyrian dye, and
1t has never been equalled in
beauty.
These people traded with other
lands, where, they often stole the
inhabitants and sold them as
slaves. Wilma Morgan, grade IA,

him and, reaching in his pocket. he
drew out some nice, tender lettuce

better than anything else. That

The next morning, Bobby only
had to say "Shake handsi'' twice

could do as many tricks as the
best of them, and had his box right
alongside his friend Dandy's. Some
of the tricks that he had learned
were brand new ones. They had
never been seen in show or any

the work! How he did like Bobby

he did like this peaceful, happy

Story of a Little Richmond Girl,

Would you like to hear a story

possessor of a pretty new pink
dress for just one day?
This is the way it happened:
Not so very many years ago a lit
tie girl lived next to the library,
the Morrisson-Reeves library, on
North Sixth street, who liked very
much to play around the interest
ing building. At that time the door
to the library was above the street
with high steps leading up to it
and an iron fence all around the
front of it.
Now this little girl had a green
dress for her best dress up" dress

SOLD klPLiNG'S LETTERS

Rudyarad Kipling once became
very angry because one of the
trees in front of his house was in
jured by a careless bus driver.
He wrote the man letter of com
plant, demanding satisfaction.
The driver, it happened, also
owned an inn, and when he re-
ceived the letter, in Kipling's own
handwriting, he sold it for large
sum to one of the guests. Not
hearing from the driver, kipling
wrote a second and longer letter
This the man likewise sold for an
even larger sum.
A few days later Kipling called
on the man to see why he had re-
ceived no reply to his letters.

An Unusual Bird is
Seen in Richmond

Perched on the roof OF a house
on South Ninth street, and looking
very much as il it were saying,
well, | do declare, I've lost my
way; now, how can | tell in what
direction | should fly?" a large
bird attracted large group of
people. Friday afternoon, April Z.
Although the people looked up
at it long and closely to try to
find out just what kind of bird it
was, the bird itself did not seem
at all concerned about his spec
tators for whom he was forming
the whole show. All that seemed
to matter to him was that he was
lost and didn't know which way to
start to try to get on the right
path.
People finally decided it was an
American bittern, bird family of
the same order as the stork This
bird is about % inches long, with
a rather brown body and a slate
colored head. This bird can
stand motionless for a long time,
so long, in fact, that people watch
ing them, get tired waiting for
them to move.
The strangest thing about this
bird is the noise it makes, boom
ing sound. Sometimes, we are told,
this sound is like the working of
an old fashioned wooden pump,
and sometimes like the driving of
a stake in bog.

1t was a finer performance than
those usually seen in travelling
shows. Bobby had taught all these
pets of his just for his own amuse-
ment and they seemed to enjoy it
just as much as he did, and after
each one had done his part, Bobby
always had some little delicacy for
him; lump of sugar for the pony,
little pieces of meat for the dogs,
some special seed for the pigeons,
and he had a pat on the head and a
loving word for all of them.
"All overt" he cried at last, and

from their boxes. Now, Billy

Katheryn Writes Of
Fun in the Country
Willow Brook Farm.

Dear Aunt Polly:
You have so many letters from
the city boys and girls. Would
you like one from the country?
The first six grades of my school
life were spent in Baxter and the
rest of my class think it funny that
prefer the country to the city.
Perhaps if tell you why, you will
understand.
First, there is my COW Nellie and
her Holstein calf, Betty, who is so
tame she will eat out of my hand
and follows us everywhere; then
there are the dog Snookems, and
the cats, Buff and Tom.
1t is coming Spring now and soon
the blossoms of the fruit trees will
make the air sweet with perfu1.c
and hundreds of downy chicks will
be running riot everywhere, and
over across the ripping brook the
mother turkey will be calling to
her babies, that look like little
brown balls. We call that place
Turkeyville and down by the barn,
where we keep the baby ducks, we
call Duck-haven.
BY the side of the brook is the
strawberry patch, and just back OF
the farm is the river, where we can
fish or swim through the summer.
Do you think you would like the
country? II you do, come out and
eat strawberries with me when
they are ripe. -Katheryn Chris
man, age IL years, grade s.

minute, seeing Nellie and Shook
