My dream Is Of q beautiful spot

Away from the worries OF troubled

Alone, I'll make my quest.
A rippling brook and shadowine
trees
Are in my lovely dream,
And never q foot has trod that

It knows Of nothing mean.
Pure It is, like God above;
Alone, I want to find
The place that Heaven must have

I want it to be mine.

But after I have left this world,
Take me there, God, please!

One day, Du Chaillu saw some
gorilla tracks and followed them.
Suddenly" he relates, "the woods
were filled with the roar of a gorilla.
The underbrush swayed and before
us stood male gorilla. He was
nearly 6 feet high. With huge chest,
great arms, f1ercely glaring eyes, it
seemed to me some nightmare
vision.
"He was not afraid Of US, but
beat his breast with his huge fists
until it resounded like bass drum,
meantime giving vent to roar after
roar. This roar of the gorilla is
the most awful noise heard in the
African woods.
"The gorilla's eyes flashed fire as
We stood on the defensive. The
crest of short hair on his forehead
began to twitch, while his powerful
teeth were shown as he again sent
forth a roar. He reminded me Of
some dream creature, half man.
half beast, which old artists pic
tured.
"He advanced q few steps, then
stopped to utter that hideous roar
advanced again and stopped. Just
as he began another Of his roars,
beating his breast in rage, we fired.
With groan which had something
terribly human in it,. he fell for
ward on his face. The body shook.
and then death had done its work."

Sarah Baker has a delightful ex-
hibition at the Whyte Gallery
through next Saturday. About 30
recent paintings in oil, gouache and
pastel include scenes from the cir
Gus, summer days in Nantucket and
a few portraits. Her work is well
known, as she has resided here for
some years and is teacher of art
and a frequent exhibitor.
Her paintings are fresh in color,
cheerful in Subject-matter and done
in a technique which is competent
and assured, without being self-con-
scious. Her interpretations of the
circus capture much of the grace of
bareback riders and aerialists, the
professional gayety of the clowns
and other colorful aspects of life
around the big tent.
Her attitude toward the circus is
not snobbish, nor does she seem to
be burdened with preconcieved no
tionS of stark tragedy under the
grease paint. Rouault's clowns
one imagines, would frighten the
average child into mysteries and
Walt Kuhn's would keep the tots at
"a respectful distance, but Sarah
Bakers look as if they would give
children a merry time.
In the group of cool, inviting
paintings Of Nantucket are several
combining still life and landscape in
Ia felicitous way. The exhibition il
decidedly worth seeing.

Among the men who have explored
darkest Africa" Paul du Chaillu
stands out for his reports on animal
| life.
There is a bit Of doubt as to the
time and place of Du Chaillu's
birth, but probably he was born in
New Orleans about 1885. He was of
French descent and at least q por-
ton of his childhood was spent in
Paris.
When he was Is Du Chaillu made
a voyage from New York to the
western coast Of Africa. After four
years in the wilds, he returned to
the United States. Crowds came
to hear him talk on his adventures,
and he wrote book about them.
Almost every one enjoyed reading
the book and listening to the talks,
but some said: "He must have made
up these tales. It is too much to be-
lieve that he saw big, hairy animals
Of manlike figure called 'gorillas' In
the forest and jungles Of Africa. y
Other men, however. reported that
they, too, had seen gorillas in
Africa, as well as other sights re-
ported by Du Chaillu.
Later in his life Du Chaillu re-
turned to Africa and spent two
more years in exploring. After he
came back from this journey he
wrote other books, some Of them in
tended for boys and girls.
In the Apingi country, south Of
the equator, Du Chaillu declared
that he had been made king and
was known as the Spirit" One
day he heard q great uproar In the
village where he was living and was
told that the natives wanted to at
tack another village. Du Chaillu
asked what was the trouble.
There Is young woman" he
was told, who has come here to
marry one Of our men. In her own
village they want her to marry some
one she does not like"
Du Chaillu did not believe that
such q small matter should lead to
fighting, but he gathered his war
riors and marched to the other VII
lage. When he was near it, he
fired q gun into the air. The noise
|of the shot made the people run
away, but they were called back,
and proved willing to discuss the
quarrel.
A very old man had planned to
buy the girl from her parents, In
exchange for two slaves, three goats,
flve spears, three knives and other
presents. Du Chaillu managed to
patch up the trouble. and the girl

Well, here I am speeding across
the Pacific, protecting a beautiful
bright steel shell. I wasn't always
a paper carton, and ! suppose you
wonder what I was. Well, I shall
tell you. -. ...
Some time ago, Billy the paper
boy, tossed me upon a doorstep,
and I was whisked into the house
by a pair of big hands. My pages
were read with eager curiousity, but
this adventure did not last long,
for soon I found myself lying in
a damp, dark basement among
other papers. Their pages. too, were
once exciting news, but now they
were but history.
/ knew that my pages would soon
be the same.
Lying there in the darkness I
could make out q big black thing
crouched in the near corner, and I
soon realized 1t was my enemy. For
long years, this monster had been
an enemy to all newspapers. Yes,
it was "The Incinerator." My with
cred pages cringed, but as my head
lines chartered, ! felt small hands
lifting me and other papers into a
bright red wagon with four green
wheels, and soon we had escaped
our dreaded enemy.
Weighed and Marked.
We we're tied into a neat bundle
with bright yellow rope and towed
to a big red-brick school. 1t was
the Phoebe Hearst School. I was
lifted from the wagon and put into
a pile with many other papers just
like me. AS my rescuer turned
away, saw a big round blue and
yellow badge on his sleeve that read
Paper Trooper"
All morning long, a Mrs. Brown
(who, later was told, was in charge
Of the salvage drive at the school
weighed and marked us. Later in
the day, we were piled into big

green truck by two big men. AS
we were being hauled from the
building we noticed how clean the
halls were, for there were long,
black rubber runners in the cor
ridors to protect the floor. u was
later informed that they were pur-
chased by the school with the money
we were sold for0
Where Money Goes.
The other papers told me they
did other things with the money
we were sold for, too, such as sup
plying $500 for the school library.
They also said that S100 of the
paper money bought some big build
ing blocks for the kindergarten
children. AS the truck sped on we
passed the hospital for polio VIC
Tins and the paper underneath me
said that the Hearst School also
gave s25 to the Mile O. Dimes as a
thank offering" (for no child in
the school contracted polio last
Year,. The paper money also re-
decorated the teachers room and
principals Office, and remodeled the
lunchroom. A paper dated Decem-
ber Is had an article about the
school contributing to the Christ
mas toy fund and the founders

1t sure makes one proud to be
among the papers that raised the
money to do these good deeds.
When we reached the paper fac

into cartons and other vitality need

proudly in the paper army to do
my bit.
So, boys and girls, don't let any
papers be thrown to their dreaded

and haul all the papers you can
find to the school you attend, and
be among those in the proud Or

this so we papers can protect am

other articles that we will take
