John and Mary.

Once upon a time there was a little
boy and girl whose names were John
and Mary. They were very poor
Their mother worked from morning
until night. aud yet she did no, bring

Mary went over TO Mrs. Browns.

sugar. Mrs. Brown had little girl.
but she was lame. They took The
Bee every Sunday. John and Mary
always read Happy Land" When
they found that they could join the
Go-Hawks free they sent for a pin.
About three weeks after they had
received their pins. when they were
walking home from school. they saw
crowd Of children. They ran up to
see what was the matter. They
found that some boys were hurting a
dog and cat Before they could say
anything one Of the boys said snow
watch the fun"
They saw that they had a cat and
dog tied TO stick. They put the
cat just a little way from the dog
and it was chasing the cat. but. OF
course. it was out Of his reach. This
was more than John could stand, so
he walked up bravely and said. "Look
here. boys; what do you mean by
hurting dumb animals! That is very
cruel" One big boy said. "Ho, no,
you little smarty; don't get toe
smart"
Then John said: "See that?" And
he held up his Go-Hawk pin.
Yes" said the boys.
This is my duty to stop you from
doing this and, will"
So he took the dog and cat and
fed them. The Older boys sent for
pin and when they received it they
were never unkind to dumb animals.
for they became just as loyal as John
and Mary were.-Doris Boucher,

Another Way to
Be a Good Go-Hawk

A good Go-Hawk is always po-
lite to the caller or guest in his
home. He quickly offers the
caller . seat before he goes to
cali the member of the family
for whom the guest asks. If per-
haps mother or father or big sis
ter cannot come Immediately he
tries his best to entertain the
guest in the mean time. So, re-
member this way to be good

SCENE-Happy Forest near the
end OF May. Very dim and chilly,
but in the darkest corners two little
Sunbeams, Flicker and Golden
Heart, dart about, chasing the Shad-
ows by flashing their lights on the
places where they gather together.
Under their covers of green and
brown, the Flower Buds sleep among
the Grass Blades Foliage with sparse
LEAKAGE forms the background. In the
foreground are several trees and old
stumps with scant vines clinging to
them. In the center foreground is a
fallen log, and near it stands Butter
cup, holding up her yellowish-white
cap bravely, as she sways in the
cold wind. Beside her, Daisy is still
asleep, with her head partly hidden
on her arm SO that one side Of her
cap frill is seen. Dreamy music,
in subdued tone, sounds through the
Forest as the Sunbeam Fairies con-
tinuc their unceasing efforts to
brighten the Forest. Suddenly the
music changes to a lively, ripping
strain and Butterfly floats in and
stops to dance lightly in the fore
ground. After bit she rests quietly
upon the log, her only movement
being the sofe opening and closing
of her beautiful wings. Presently she
rises and comes down stage to poise
a moment.

way. She stops long time before
Daisy, seeming to wonder why she
is not yet awake, and then turns to
look long at Buttercup before she
shakes her head and comes back to
foreground.)

mated at 100000 or more resulted

The value Of the building itself
was about $4,000. The loss is fully
covered by insurance. according To-
officials OF the academy. The origin
Of the fire is unknown but it IS
thought that defective electric wir-
ing may have been responsible.
About 100 cadets were in the
structure. shooting ON the rifle
range, when the fire started at 9
O'Clock. All escaped without injury.
The roof fell in a short time after
the blaze began. The fire department
was helpless i'm its efforts to prevent
the destructioa Of the building but
prevented the spread Of the flames
