Toy Balloon Relates Story

Once I lived ii a toy-shop with many other pretty toys. One day a little boy came with five new pennies that he had been saving i and bought me and took me to his home. Every day he looked at me until one day, the Fourth of July he called it, he looked at me m?ny times. When it grew dark he took me out into the yard. Then I felt my sides growing fatter and fatter and I became so light, and then I went up, up into the air and sailed away above the trees and houses. Then I felt myself getting smaller and smaller until I was only a little bit of burnt paper on the ground far away from where I started and then I felt tired and ready to go to bed. ELEANOR WISSLER.

And after dinner I asked mother if we could go down to the river. She said "No," so I went and told the others we couldn't go. But uncle said we eoutd go. He showed us where it wasn't deep. We went and when we got there we took our shoes and stockings off and went in wading. We had a high time wading. Pretty soon aunt came and made us all get out of the water. We got out and aunt had a long stick. She gave us all a bit on the back. We went up to the house and was laughing. Mother said, "Did you whip them?" Aunt said, "Yes." Mother said, "it don't look much like it the way they are laughing." Then we went and played "Andie Over" again, and then we went home. GLADYS COLVIN, Age 11.

Where Tom Found His Manners

Tom's father was a rich- man, and Tom lived in a large house In the country. He had a pony and many other pets, and wore fine clothes. Tom was very pround of all the fine things his father's money bought. He began to think that being rich was better than being good. He grew vsry rude and was cross to the servants. Once he kicked his dog, but the dog growled and Tom was afraid to kick him again. - One day when Tom waa playing in the yard, he saw a boy standing by the gate. He was ragged and dirty, his hat was torn, and his feet were bare. But he had a pleasant face. In one hand he carried a pail half full of blackberries. "Go away from here," said Tom, running to the gate. "We are rich and we don't want ragged boys around here." "Please give me a drink." said the boy. "If you are rich, you can spare me a dipper full of water." "We can't spare you anything." said Tom. "If you don't go avay I will set the dogs on you." . The boy laughed and walked away swinging his pail. . "I think I will get some blackberries, too," said Tom to himself. He went out of the gate into a lane leading to a meadow where there were plenty of berries. Tom saw some fine large ones growing just over a ditch. He thought ho could leap over it very easily. He gave a run and a very big jump. The ditch . was wider than he had thought, and instead of going over it, he came down in it. The mud was very soft and thick, and Tom sank down in it to his waist. He was very much frightened and screamed for help. But he had not much hope that help would come, for it was a long way until houses could be found. He screamed until he was tired. He began to think that be would have to spend the night in the ditch, when he beard steps on the grass. I cook ing up he saw the ragged boy he had driven away from the gate. "Please help me out,' said Tom, crying. "1 wilt give you a dollar." "I don't want the dollar," saM the boy, lying flat on the grass. He held out both his hands to Tom and drew him out of the ditch. Tom was covered with mod, bis kat was none, and on shoe ws4

"I am," said poor Tom, "but I thank you very much for helping me out of the ditch. And I am sorry I sent you away from the gate." "The next time I come, perhaps you will treat me bett er," said the boy. "I am not rich, but I am stronger than you, and I think I have better manners." "I think so too," said Tom. . The next day, when Tom saw the boy going by the gate, he called him in, and showed him his rabbits, doves, and little ducks, and gave him a ride on his pony.
