Dear folks of mine: , Guess what I've been doing. Traveling! And do you know, when I was lying there on my soft comfortable bed in the Pullman car, I began to think how wonderful it is to live when people work together and great big things done. Suppose I should have had to do everything myself. How much of a ride could I have taken? First I would have chopped down the trees to make the rails, and then gone to some mines and dug out the Iron to melt and hammer out and make the steel rails. Then I would have had to work years to invent an engine and hundreds of years mere to make it, with all its screws and bolts and valves, and huge wheels that I couldn't even lift. And suppose I should have had to make that sleeping car, all by myself. Wouldn't that be a big job? To plane down the boards to make the seats, and melt the glass to make the windows, and spin the wool to make the blankets, and w-ifee the car to make the lights, and weave the green . velvet to cover the seats,' and paint the little design on the ceiling, and Oh, everything. And after I had work The Lion and Webster, Ind., July 31, 1916. Dear Editor I am very much interested in the Junior Palladium. I am going to write a story about th3 picture of the Lion and the Shepherd. I hope to see this printed. Years ago there had to be shepherds to herd the sheep. There was a very wealthy shepherd. lie had many sheep, but one cold, Btormy night when the shepherds had to keep the sheep in their shed they were all stolen. He then was left with but a few dollars. ' His home was also burned and reetroyed. He then became a tramr begging for food. One very hot day when all the hills were clad in their greenest garments and the sun was shining down on everything, making them shine, the shepherd walked along the dusty road feeling very sad. He saw a large oak tree standing by the roadside; he sat down under it, and soon fell asleep. In a little while he heard a low growl and awoke and saw a large Mountain Lion standing by him. He was at first frightened but later saw he was not going to hurt him. He pulled out a package of cheese which had been given to him. He fed the lion almost all of it. When he arose to go the Lion started to follow him.. They then

ed for about a million years to get all that done, I would have to climb up in the dirty old engine cab, and shovel in coal and maybe get a cinder in both my eyes, just because nobody would work with me and I'd have to do everything all by myself. And I'm afraid the trip I'd take would not be very pleasant. Just think how different it is how. , All I had to do was go up to the office down at the depot and get a little green ticket, and that gave me all those things I never could have made myself. A porter helped me on the car and carried my bags, and then the engineer ran the train for me, and at night the porter made my bed for me, and everything was as nice and comfortable as it could be just because now days everybody works together and we trust eachother. And do you know, when I reached the end of my journey, I felt so grateful to somebody or everybody for working with eachother and making the railroad that I decided I'd be ready to work with anybody

who asked me to do anything with them, all the rest of my life Won't you too? Aunt Molly the Shepherd made good friends and he and the lion soon found a place herding sheep. The lion helped to keep the Hons and other animals away from the sheep. RUBY LIEBOLD, Webster, Indiana. Age 11 years. Modern Bo Peep Little Bo-Peep Had lost her sheep, And couldn't tell where to find them. She 'phoned to each farm And gave the alarm: "Lost sheep, with their tales behind them." She then got her car And searched near and far, With a motor horn resounding. The sheep heard the noise And like fluffy toys Towards her they came abounding. 'Twas the use of the power For a short little hour That enabled Bo-Peep to find them, And in safety, too, For it really is true They still had their tails behind them. T. M. BRAY, in the "Edison Monthly."

Something

A Pedestal

Copyright by George Matthew Adams Here is a diagram showing how you can make a pedestal on which to place a potted fern or some other plant that needs a substantial foundation. For the section A an old porch pillar may be sawed the desired height. Two square pieces, B-C, about ten inches on a side, are nailed to bottom and top of pillar. The bottom piece should be thicker than the top. (Two inches is a good thickness.) After all three parts are fastened securely, sandpaper and stain or paint. If the pedestal is to be used in the house, a bath-tub enamel may be used over a coat of white paint. The pedestal may be designed as suggested in the drawing D. Copyright by George Matthew Adams

Q UERY CORNER The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to him. He will not promise to answer all of them. The questions will be answered in rotation, so do not expect the answer to be printed in the same week in which you send it In. Editor Junior Palladium: In answer to my question about electric fans last week, you say that they do not make things cooler. My experience is that they do. Frederick J. Of course electric fans make people cooler because they make the air blow past your face and that evaporates the moisture so fast that it lowers your temperature and thus makes you feel cooler, but an electric fan blowing on a window pane doesn't make a half a degree difference. Ed. Query. Editor, can you tell me what "Dog Days" mean? Martha A. "Dog Days" are so named from the dogstar, Sirius, which is unusually bright through August. Ed. Jr. Editer, der sir: Pies tell me wher you go swimmen around heer that it dont ccst-nothin. 1 got run off 3 places yestirdy. Yrs truely S. Jones. Dear Jonsey; very sorry I cannot accommodate you, but I do my free swimming at home. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: If you really are the editor of the Junior, and answer our questions, why does it say "he" and "him" up at the top of the column? Julia M. My dear Julia: That "head" was set up before I came, and now everyone is rushing around so fast getting out the best paper In this part of the country that they haven't time to change it. Maybe the City Editor will notice this and have it changed; we'll wait and see. Ed. Dear Miss Editor: How did people ever get started calling a quarter "two bits"? John G. As I understand it there used to be a Spanish coin worth about a quarter that was called dos realles, and that was translated into English to mean "two bits." Ed.

Rides Little Pony Without Any Fear It used to be, in those good old days that our grandmothers tell about, that the tall brawny men would mount the dashing steeds and hold tight the reins while the lily-white ladies had to be carefully placed on behind, when they went horseback riding together. But that was long ago. Last Tuesday I saw an example of modern horseback tiding. Do you suppose the dainty little lady was clinging to her gallant hero? Not much. They were only about seven years old, but already she had hold of the- lines, was dressed in an Indian suit with plenty of red feathers and riding astride, fearlessly guiding the pony through the busiest traffic of Ninth and Main streets, while he had to clutch her strong shoulder as he rode on- behind.
