Twenty Years From Now

twenty Years From Now
looked around, everything was
changed. l saw some very large build
ings. The town had grown enorou-
sly. There were no telephone poles,
no dirty alleys. The old buildings
were gone. Was this the same town
Or was dreaming?
Large posts rose in the air. What
were they? On one was some painting.
l read it as follows: "Aeroplane Sig
nal Co., Devils Lake, N. D." Aero
plane signals!" though l. But soon
l saw many aeroplanes. They were
not like the areoplanes of twenty
years before. They were much larger
and had shorter wings one over the
other.
AS l went on a block further,
saw some men making brick build
ing. They did not build it brick by
brick like they use to. The bricks
were cemented together in the lum-
Der yard and then sold in the form of
a wall. These were hoisted up by
ueIIlCh. dSheu OHe Ul Cue WOikneU
how long it took to erect these brick
buildings. They said 'only five days"
Five days!" said l. And five days it
was.
In front Of the depot l saw sign,
Fast train can make New York to
San Francisco in twenty-four hours. )"
Twenty-four hours seemed much
shorter compared with the four days
it used to take.
l noticed an areoplane. It had lot
of painting on it. 1t said, "Straight
to Mars or Venus"
l at last met my chum Charles
Burnham and went to the hotel with
him for dinner. He said my folks
were living in Minneapolis, but tc my
sorrow. What was my trouble? Where
were the marble shooters? The bare
foot boys? The old house? And my
schoolmates?

Dear Mildred:

Dear Mildred:
One Sunday we went over to Sully's
hill for picnic. We had walked
around for little while and were
just going to turn back, when we heard
the most terrible noise over our heads.
We looked up and saw nest full of
baby owls and their mother. At first
we could only see a big ball of fuzz
and then as our eyes became ac-
customed to them we could see three
pairs of bright eyes peeping at US.
After we had all looked at them
through the spy glasses, we went
back, had our lunch, and then drove
home. AS this ended our picnic. will
end my letter.
Lovingly,
Helen Sneesby.

THE FOUR.LEAvED CLOVER

l. W GD SLO LII
Three Leaves Of Course, LIN bound tc
Have
The little clover said,
"They're all l M set to do, but still
/ think I'll go ahead
And grow another if l can,
An extra leaf to show
That l am trying, with my might
To live, and work and grow"
So while the other clovers stayed
Content with leaflets three,
Their braver brother added on
A fourth for all to see.
"How Foolish!" cried the other ones,
Why do an extra task?
Three leaves are all the world ex-
poets,
And all that it can askn'
But 10; men hailed that extra leaf
And grasped its meaning, too.
Four now the four-leaved clover
stands
For luck symbol true,
Since, It's added willing work,
The extra bit of pluck
That conquers all the best of life
And brings the worker luck.

What | Saw

1t was a brigth autumn day. l was
sitting on the front steps and look
ing up the street the leaves were red
and gold. The wind was blowing them
off the trees and down the street,
| heard lot Of noise. l looked up
and saw two boys riding their bicy-
cles as hard as they could go. They
were racing. First one boy would get
ahead and then the other. Just then
a train came down the track and they
had to stop.

Dear Friend: My brother and l went
ice skating for the first of the season.
My brother was the first to have his
skates on so evidently he was first
to try his new skates out. He was
fairly good skater but the ice was
not good for skating. Almost instan-
tly l heard crash. There was my
brother in the ice cold water. After
a bit Of splashing he succeeded in
getting out. He looked like a mov-
ing scarecrow. He could hardly keep
from laughing. l hope to hear from
you soon.

Something J. Saw

As l looked out of window l saw
leaves falling everywhere. They We're
green, yellow, brown, red and golden.
l think they are much prettier than
when they are all green.
Coming down the street l saw a
very odd shaped birds nest, which had
fallen from the tree. 1t seemed
as if leaves, birds, and nests are
all leaving the trees at once.

AZ HOURS IN JAIL

San Juan. Porto Rico. Feb. 10
George r. Stanton, for many years
chief Of police Of Porto Rico. has just
served 4 sentence OF 43 hours In jail
for contempt OF court He refused to
appeal to President Harding TO set aside
the sentence which had been imposed by
Federal Judge Od!!n.
The contempt charge was based on @
letter Mr.. Stanton wrote 20 the judge
asking for an order to destroy some of
tho evidence which had disappeared af-
ter the insular police had made arrests
and soIzed liquor In Volstead cases.
Althoush Judge Odlin gave Stanton
until March Is to enable him to appeal
10 the president. the former chief de-
cded to take his medicine instead OF
asking for presidential favor.
The San Juan Times says he received
600 callers while in jail and refers to
his term there as "a social success"
Among his visitors in prison were Gov
ernor Rely. who. with other citizens
and officials, had vainly pet!tioned
Judge Odlin to remit his sentence.
stanton was met at the jail entrance
BY scores OF friends who escorted him
to his home.
He was captain OF Rooseveit's Roush
Riders in 1898 and afterward served
With General Wood in Cuba. Prat'i-
dent Roosevelt sent him to the Cana!
Zone as chief OF police to clean VI
, the zone IN the early construction days
and l3 years ago he was sent to Porto
Rico to take command Of the 700 police
men composing the insuiar police force
