the fourth grade pupils were telling
vacation experiences.
Two hands went up at her question.
"Al right, Bruce, tell us some of the
interesting things you saw"
why mountains, and the ocean, and
some swell bridges-the highway was
most of the time"
Bruce seemed to have exhausted his
Information, so Miss Warning turned to
Peter.
what did you see that was inter-
esting. Peter?"

to keep his show in winter. was one
painted on it, Just the same as when
he was alive We took a picture of it.
I can bring it If you want me to-"
THAT would be interesting, Peter.
What else did you see?"
THE Black Hills. The rocks were
queer, and daddy told me how they
were formed

now. staring at Peter. as the latter
gave an interesting account Of Fort
Bridger, Temple Square in Salt Lake

in Salt Lake City and got an on 1t.
Each time Peter gave an interesting
report on things seen on his trip.
Bruce would ask his father. why
didn't we see that?"
The substance of the answer was al
ways the samoa smooth stretch Of
highway, or wanting to get to a GER
tain place at a certain time. But
Bruce's father looked more and more
thoughtful, each time he made these
replies.
Bruce was almost ready to cry the
day he came home and told about the
sea lions caves. They must have been
wonderful" he sighed. Peter said you
could go down lot of steps right on
the face, of high cliff by the ocean,

sea lions-Oh, wish had seen theml"

phatically, looking very uncomfortable.
And Bruce,s next remark, Miss

better.

several pamphlets. I'VE might go to
Detroit for a new car, next summer"

q list CT them. We may not be able
to stop at ali Of them. but each day,
we'll see whatever we consider the most
worthwhile"
