; len, went to Sunday school for the I first time. Upon his return mother

Old Bossic Proud of Calf

When old Bossie had a little calf this spring, she was happy and proud, lor she heard her master say the calf was the strongest and prettiest he owned. This made Bossie take extra good care of the little calf She let the calf drink all (lie milk it wanted, and later showed it where the grass was greenest in the pasture. The calf soon became large and strong. On day Bossie saw a Strang man talking with her master. She did not like the' looks of the stranger, for he looked dangerous. After a lon talk, the stranger took out a leather Ivig and paid the farmer some silver. Then he drove the ra!f into a corner and with the fann- r lifted it into a wagon. Bossic lu.-ti'd up to get back her rhfM. I nt she could not get through the fc::o The calf was crying for its mother. Bossie vva3 beside lurrolf with grief.

boys cannot let out the yells and whoops they do along the creek bank.'

A crowd of boys can have a cir

cus at the swimming hole. Usually a big tree shades the banks and

gives the boys a splendid opportu

nity to loaf or wrestle when they are tired of splashing in the water.

If they want to get their backs

burned by the sun, all they need do is jump off the bank and swim beyond the shade of the tree. A sun-burned back belongs to boyhood. A boy believes he has not treated himself fair until his back has been burnt several times during the summer. He is as proud of the aching back as a soldier is of a wound he has suffered in battle. Even old men in Richmond think back of the days when they used to visit the old swimming holes that their grandsons are using this very summer. Did you ever hear two or three old men tell of the fun they had along the creek? They enjoy telling about it as much as you do swimming or wading there this summer.

Papa Gennett Murders Catfish

W. H. Has Pet Named Fritz

Fritz Is the name of our dog. He is a fox terrior. My two little brothers and myself had our pictures taken with Frits, and sent it to a magazine, which printed the picture. We were all glad to see the picture, but Frits did not seem to care. Frits used to run after motorcycles. One day a driver threw a monkey wrench at him. Now he etays on the porch and only barks when motorcycles go by. W. H.
