MINNIE CAT ADOPTS v CHICKS AND KITTENS Minnie-Cat was cross and would not let three little chicks come near her. Minnie was our old grey cat and the three chicks were poor motherless things only two days old. Something had caught the old hen and eight of her chicks during the night, and these -poor little things were left to themselves. They were tiny and helpless and spent most of their time in crying. Minnie was cross to then and before night came she had killed one. The next morning Minnie found four little kittens which she claimed for her own. They were In one corner of the barn, near the place where the fowls were kept. She was so happy now -that she forgot to be oross to the chicks; she was even very friendly to them, and before night we found them cosily nestled at her side with the kittens. The chicks and kittena did not look much like brothers and sisters, but it was a pretty sight to Bee them together. The chicks were quite contented and the old cat , seemed to think as much of them as of her kittens. They spent most of the time with her for several days, and then a little girl to whom we had given the chicks, came and took them away. And this is the end of the little chickens at my house. This happened at my house last summer. FANNY RIZIO, 6A Class, Whitewater School.

The Lonesome Doll

"Oh, dear! Susan, you don't know how tired I get eittlng here in this starchy dress while my little mistress lies in bed with a soft nightgown. I guess she hasn't any bed for me or she would put me into it. Oh, dear," she sighed again. Poor old Susan, the nurse of pretty little Marie, tried to tell her that some day she might be glad that she had a 6tarchy -dress to Wear. Now Marie's little mother had noticed the frown her doll had when she took her into the playroom. She did not go to sleep right away, and when she heard a voice in the playroom she crept out of bed and went to the playroom door to listen. , When Jane heard what Marie said, she went back to bed with a troubled heart. The next day she said to herself, "I will write to Santa Claus." So she went to work and here is what she wrote: "Dear Santa Claus I overheard my doll Marie talking to her nurse old black Susan, last night, saying, Camp Fire Girls Visit a Friend On Halloween evening a group of eight or nine "Kingolo Camp Fire Girls" of Economy, and four Bluebirds masked and met at the home of our guardian, Miss Jessie Secrest and Miss Pusey. From there we went on a hike a mile and a half north of town to a girl friend of ours who has been absent from school two months with a bad case of paralysis. We arrived about five o'clock. Before going in we gave two or three camp fire yells, giving her an idea of who her company was to be. After guessing for about a half hour, she guessed who we were and then we started for town giving our yells as we neared the farm houses. After returning to town about dusk we visited the stores. About that time we were getting hungry so we went to Miss Jessie's where we fried weenies and made sandwiches out of them later eating them and some pickles for an appetizer.' After supper we remasked and paid our respects to the residents of the town and at about half past eight a tired but happy lot of girls parted for home. A Camp Fire Girl.

when you are in the water. Don't let the sharks get YOU. (Copyright by George Matthew Adams)

I don't like to sit here In this starchy dress, I want a nice soft nightgown and a bed. "PleaBe send me your advice as soon as you can. "JANE. "Dear Jane I would send you a little doll and I want you to play with it and just let Marie sit there for a week or two. "SANTA." As soon as Jane read that letter she siw a man coming in the yard. She ran out and took the package from his hand and hastily opened it. There lay a dear little doll. So Jane played with it and let Marie sit there with her starchy dress on. Marie saw Jane playing with the other doll and began to cry. Jane went to see what had happened. When Marie saw her she cried, "Oh, Jane! I'll never wish for anything again." So Jane took her in her arms and ran down to write to Santa Claus of Marie. When Jane received her answer she told Marie that Santa Claus was going to bring her a bed and a nightgown. So Marie was very .glad, and she never wished for anything again. LUCILE JENKINS, District School No. 11.

A GHOST STORY Once upon a time there lived an old miser. One night an old man asked him to let him have something to eat and something to sleep in. So the old man went to sleep. While he was asleep the old man thought how to kill him. So he went down to get an axe. While the old man was asleep the old miser cut the old man's head off. He went and dug a hole to put him in. S6 one night when he was asleep he heard a noise and he looked and saw that arm. So he looked again and the arm grabbed him. And that is the last of my story. MAYNARD MILTON 4 B grade Whitewater School USE THE WORD. One evening Bessie's mother had company for supper. Bessie was telling them how the neighbors children deviled us. Her mama told her it wasn't deviled it was tormented. Then Bessie thought for a moment and said, "Mama lets have Bome tormented eggs." Her mother said, "Whats that." Why you said I couldn't say deviled any more so I had to say tormented eggs. For Fun Of Sharks! Could you draw ono like It? It shows are not careful. Be sure to watch out

CINCINNATI BOY MAKES SPEECH TO WILSON Some of the teachers of Richmond went to Cincinnati last week to visit schools. One afternoon while they were visiting the school the children lined up at one side of the street and watched our president Woodrow Wilson and his wife pass by. One little boy made a speech for the children and .our teachers and they thought him very cute. At this school they served beans and peas in ice cream cones and served a bowl of soup for a penny to the children. ENID PARKER 6 B Whitewater SchooL

TELLS ABOUT THE DOG HE FORMERLY OWNED When I was a small boy about three years old I lived in the country. ' . . One day my father brought home a dog about nine days old. He wouldn't tell me where, he got it. He took me to the barn, and said, "Clinton, I want you to feed this dog three times a day because I am going to visit a while." I said I would do it because I wanted to keep it. ... The day after that I went to the barn. The dog was not there. ' I went back to the house crying. Father said he knew where it was, but he would not tell me. I coaxed him until he said he would tell me if I would run up to the store for him. I got on .my coat and hat. I did not any more than get out of the house until I saw the dog. I took him in the house and told them how I found him. We hadn't named him yet. So we named him "Frissel Top." ; I loved ever after until I lost him. CLINTON M. REES, Baxter School. GIRL FINDS HOME It was a very cold night in December. A little girl was trudging wearily homeward. Her little toes were sticking out of her shoes. She looked in at the children in a nice warm room and longed to be there because she knew there would be nothing but dear sick mother awaiting her. Her father was a drunkard and every bit of money he made was spent In the saloon. This little girl's mother worried so much that at last she died. The county had to bury her. The littlj girl was taken to an orphans' home. One day a kind lady came to the home and asked for a nice little girl. Jane, for this was the girl's name, was taken home with the lady. She was well taken care of and very happy, and has now a little girl of her own. MABLE VEREGGE, contributor Whitewater School MY CHOICE CITY. Who guesses what city I'm going to name?
