Thrift.

As we all know, Benjamin Frank.
II lin, Americas famous inventor
Of electricity, first created thrift.
Don't pay too much for your whis.
tie" is what he said after his expe1.
ence with his Christmas pennies and
the whistle.
Thrift makes a home, a state and
4 nation. The home, state or nation
made by thrift Is one to be held
highly.
There T only two things that
darkens Americas good name, which
cost so many of our brave pilgrim
fathers their lives while making It.
Those two things are-lack Of people
who believe strongly in thrift and
more people who uphold the United
States laws: for the people OF Eu-
rope say America Is the most lawless
country on the globe.
Foreign people who are thrown out
of work in their home country i'm.
mediately come to the United States,
where they get rich very quick, for
they are thrifty. If our foreign broth.
ers car be thrifty, why can not we?
a good number of our rich neigh
bors were newsboys when they were
small. They were ambitious and made
a good name for themselves. Ambi.
ton and thrtftlness will gain more
for you than laziness and extrava.
gance.
In trying to be thrifty, do not be
mtserly, for that is an easy mistake
to make and many persons make 1t.
We find. as we go along, people
who would rather have nice clothes
and go without other necessities
These people do not live within their
means.
The following instance, I hope
will teach our fathers and mothers
something of thrift:
I was visiting a little girls house
n day and having five or six pen
niles I had no particular use for, :
gave hem to her. Now, as is char
acteristic of small children, sh,
begged for someone to take her to
store not far away. These parents
knew that none should eat sweets

When / Went to Japan.

T Asst year I went to Japan. I went
~ on a ship. When I got there a
little girl met me as I got off the
ship. She wanted to kiss me. She
rubbed her check against mine; that
was a kiss. Then she wanted me to
go home with her. 1t was about
dark when I got there. They hadn't
had their dinner.
They gave me a little stool for my
table. I thought 1t was funny to
eat on a little stool. They served
cake, pie. fruit, chop suey. and last
OF all. tea. Then we went to bed.
The maid slides the walls and makes
as many bedrooms as are needed.
Then she pulls down the walls and
the bed clothing falls down: each one
makes his own bed.
The little girl that I stayed with
gave me a brick for the pillow. I did
not want that. She folded up 8
blanket and put It under my head.
She put the brick under her head.
I asked her name but I could not I'M.

OF over a hundred islands. and all
the streets are full OF water, which
are called canals.
Wo do tho most of our travel by
water but we can go a little ways on
sidewalks which are on each side Of
the canals. The sidewalks are con.
nected by arch bridges which are
erched enough for the largest boats
to pas under. The largest bridge
is called the Rialto. There are shops
on each side of this briHge. SO that

partment store. The canals are at
the backdoors of the house, SO that
peddlers can stop at the backdoor and
sell his wares.
The largest of the canals is called
the Grand Canal. which is always full
Of boats. There are palaces along
this canal, but all of them have been
turned into hotels and cafes. I have
to go to and from school In a boat.

all up, because 1t was cold. The hill
that was most frequently used was
q long way from the house After he
reached the hill he saw his friend
Jack and some other boys. They slid
= long time, then Jack said. "oh,
boys. I know a swell place to skate"
The boys decided to go home and
eat supper. then they were to meet
at the old oak tree at 2 O'Clock.
When ell of the boys had assembled
ne the oak tree they started for the
river. It was a moonlight night and
af1 Of the boys felt happy and gay.
They sat on the river bank to strap
their skates on. The strap from
Eed's skate was broken
All at once he found himself alone
tho rest of the boys were skating
and having very much fun. At last
Ned got his skate fixed. and was
with the other boys.
There were a few other boys on the
river. They had made a bonfire upon
the Ice. and some Of the boys were
sitting on the ice by the liver.
Ned had skated ahead of the other
boys. Jack called and cried. Ned!

But Ned thought he said 10 wait.
and % he kept on skating. Jack
skated IS fast as possible. but could
not get to Ned in time to saw him.

as he turned around he saw the
danger flag.
Tho men had been cutting ice for
the icehouse, and the water splashed
out of the large hole they had made.
Ned could not stop quick enough,
and so, splashI into the water he
went. He hung on to the ice, which
kept him from going down Jack and
the other boys came as soon as pos
Gdble, and helped him out OF the wa
ter.
They put their coats around him
and hurried him home. His mother

His friends brought him some can

Thrift.

MANY people of the United States
III do not realize what this word
ear If they would just stop and
consider for a moment. they might
realize that this word has quite a
few meanings.
Benjamin Franklin was the father
Of thrift in this country. When he
was a small boy he started saving,
hot in money, because at that time
money was hard to get But he saved
In books and papers and things which
we might consider useless. Then
when he grew to be a mar he became
very great, as we all know.
Why can't the people Of today he
as thrifty os this man was? they
can. ii they would only try; but low
there are so many amusements TO
tempt the people hat they never
think Of saving.
II a person would stay Mt homa at
Yeast n night a week and study,
how much he would accomplish.
People Just think nowadays that
there is more money where that
came from.
Some people have the right iden,
but they do not follow 1t enough. For
instance, n man works a year and
saves every penny and everything hs
can. Then he hears of a Job miles
away; for instance, in California
well" he gays. I'VE Will go to Cali
fornia." And SO he packs up ant
leaves. When he arrives In Cali
fornia he is broke.

he thought he would go and see.
SO he started, out. He saw many
beautiful sights. He had gone over
about three hills, when he met a
little black dog. The dog followed him
n kept him Jolly all the time. Pref.
ty soon the little boy began to grow
hungry, and he ate some berries that
he found. He ate until he could eat
no more, and gave the rest to the
dog, but the dog would not eat them.
He went on and on until he began
to grow tired. So he law down to
rest. Pretty econ he started out
again. He went on and on until
