ESCAPED LION

n OWN in Melbourne, Australia,
u there is a trained lion. He
performs in vaudeville show
and one day not long ago he es-
capped.
He went out on the street for
a walk and to look the town over.
Women tainted and men climbed
poles and buildings.
The lion didn't pay much at
tention to any of them, and he
finally walked right straight into
the offices of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The people who work there like
animals all right, but they didn't
much like the looks of this one.
They locked the doors and called
for help.
The lion wandered around the
halls and finally finding that he
couldn't get out of the building,
started roaring. Crowds soon
gathered and those not too fright
ened enjoyed the excitement.
But at last the lion-tamer came
with a cage and a kind coaxing
word -. the lion stopped his roar
ing and walked quietly into the
cage, ate his dinner, and went to
sleep.

FROG-HUNTING
Y Madge was teI

W/HEN Madge was ten years
w old she went to visit her
cousins who lived on a farm.
Madge had never been in the
country before and she loved it.
One day her boy cousins said
they were going frog-hunting and
Madge said she'd like to go along.
The boys took a small air gun and
when they get to the bank of a
little stream they crept along
softly until they saw big green
frog browsing.
But when the boy with the gun
raised it to shoot - Madge
screamed with fright and the frog
woke up. Like FLASH he was
into the water and away!
The boys were angry at Madge
for soaring the frog, and they
said she could not go hunting
with them again. Madge didn't
mind at all, because she made up
her mind right then and there
that she didn't care for hunting.

ENGINE TIME

THE correct time is a very
important thing to an engi-
neer. Before he takes his train out
he goes to a watch inspector to
see if his own watch is fast or
slow or just right.
Then he and his fireman COM
pare their watches with the con-
ductor's watch, for they must all
be correct. That is because when
they get their orders for the train
stops and signals there will be no
mistakes made.
When you ask the time of day
of a railroad man you are pretty
sure to get the CORRECT time,
aren't YOU?

MolIy Pitcher

4 OLL1 was fed-halred
" farmer girl who came to
work in the home of General
Irving in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
This was way back at the begin
ming of the Revolutionary War
Molly Ludwig was a very ener-
getic girl and one willing to work.
AS a matter of fact she LOVED
work and the harder the better.
But she did not like to sew at
all. Perhaps since she had lived
on a farm, she was more accus-
toned to the kind of labor that
calls for a great deal of activity,
One day while Molly was serv-
ing dinner to the Generals fam
/ lily, he was telling of the scenes
on the battlefield of the French
and Indian war. Molly stopped
right in her tracks and listened.
She was fascinated.
When the General finished his
exciting story of shot and shell
and danger, Molly looked wide
eyed and very earnest. Then she
said, II WOULD like to be a
soldier"
Some time later, but while
Molly was still quite young, she
married. Her husband joined the
Continental army and Molly was
happy to see him take up the
cause of freedom.
A FTER her young soldier hus-
n band marched away Molly
went on working for the Cen
erals family. Then one day a
messenger on horseback came for
her. He said that the Continental
army was camped near her old
home in Trenton and if she
wished to see her husband, she
could go to her fathers house
and he would come there to visit
her.
Molly was a girl of action and
it took her no time to make up
her mind She was soon off and
away with the messenger.
In January, 1777 (you will
remember) Washington left Tren-
ton and slipped up on the British
at Princeton. Then after a sue
cessful battle he crept away to
Morristown, New Jersey.
But Molly went at once out
onto the battlefield to see what
she could do for the dead and
dying. Among the wounded there
she found one Of her husbands
friends. He was barely alive.
The British reinforcements
were approaching the field and

GREAT HORNED OWL

THIS big fellow is not very
friendly looking, and little
rabbits are very afraid of him.
And it is well they are too, for he
likes them for his supper. Horned
Owl is called SO because he has
feather punches that stick up like
horns on his head. You'll know
him if you see him, for he is a
black and buff and spotty looking
fellow with white patch for
neck scarf. Yet, he even has
feathers on his feet.
His eyes are big and starey, but
this should not scare little folks,
as he is harmless bird.

1928 Mobile flew over the North
Pole and was wrecked. Amund-
sen went to his rescue but was
never heard of again. He was in
deed a great adventurer with the
same spirit that sent those other

ages of exploration long, long
