POOR BOY BECOMES VERY RICH MAN Once upon a time there was a poor little boy. His father was dead, he had three sisters, and his .mother worked all the time to make a living. The little boy sold papers to help his mother. One day he saw a man. He said, "Will you buy a paper? My father Is dead and my mother has to work all the time to make a living." The man said, "If you will come and work for me, I will give you four dollars and a half a week." "I will have to ask my mother," said the boy.

The mother said yes, so the lit tle boy went to work on Saturday. He was the tloorboy, to let men in the office. The man was building a six room house. He told the little boy he was going to give him time to buy the house. Inside of two months the house was finished. The lit tle boy's mother moved Into it. The little boy's mother grew to be rich. The boy was soon a big boy, and the older sister was a big girl. She went to work for the man'e wife. He had one boy. He loved the girl, so in a short- time they were married. The mother grew old and gray, and they all lived happily ever after. CATHERINE HANCE, Whitewater School A Question For Mother Norman was sitting on his moth er's lap one evening, when suddenly he asked, "Mama, have you got a balsam apple like dad's got in his neck?" He meant an Adam's apple. . MARTHA SULLIVAN Vaile School THE BAD MONKEY Once upon a time a little monkey was caught in the woods. The man who caught him was very nice to him. He made him a very nice little house with a bell on It. One night the people all around had gone to sleep and he had not gone to sleep yet so he began ringing the bell and woke all the people up. The man didn't like this and brought him in the house and made him go to sleep. And he went to sleep all right. RUSSEL WOODHURST "The Disgrace of The great masked ball of the college was over. The crowd began to disperse, good nights were exchanged, lights put out, the girls wearily made their way to their rooms and quiet reigned over the school once more. Did I say quiet reigned once more? Ah, in one room it was not quiet. Instead of going at once to their own rooms, the girls of the Sophomore class were assembled in the room of the most popular girl in the class, Margarle Stanford. Not content with the ball, they had planned a midnight lunch and now they were in the Toom, each bringing her own delicacy, and the Sophomores proceeded to have a good time. Margarie brought out a chafing dish, some spoons, dishes and other articles needed, which she had gotten out of the kitchen when the cook was not there, and she began to prepare lunch. The girls were more or less nervous, but seeing Margarie at work, they boldly began to help with the preparations also, until all were feeling cheerful and laughing merrily over the events of the evening. They were all seated around the table, some trying to read, others nibbling at the caramels, and oc casionaliy one could hear the high pitched key of the piano. Then in the midst of the fun the girls suddenly turned pale and sat looking at each other. 81ow measured footsteps, were heard coming down 'the halL

Here are four of the children who entered and rode their mounts at the famous show. The three girls standing, from left to right, are the Misses Norma Crandall, Martha Hodge and Corrlne Poth. Miss Jane Hodge la shown mounted on "Katherlne Mabonia."

the Sophomores "For goodness sake, Daisy, turn off that light," gasped Margarie, but before Daisy could regain her senses, a low knock was heard at the door. The girls never stirred. The knock came agaln.followed by a hand turning the door knob. "Still no one stirred. A third time the knock was heard, a little more determined. ' Margarie finally gained control of herself, rose wearily, walked over to the door, unlocked It and returned" slowly and wearily to her seat, sat down, and hid her face in her arms. The door was then opened and the principal ' stood on the threshold. She was a tall woman with silvery grey hair and a kind motherly face. As she stood looking at them now, tears glistened in her kind eyes, and in a clear, low tone she said, "Girls, I am very sorry this has happened. As you know the punishment an offense of this kind brings upon you, I need not repeat it. You may all go to your rooms, and you, Margarie, may retire." She turned and made her way down the stairs, while the girls one by one gathered up their possessions, and with one last glance at Margarie who was still sitting with her face in her arms, departed for their rooms. After they had gone Margarie wearily prepared to retire, thinking bitterly of the basket ball season they would have to miss Just for one midnight Juncb. And it had

cost many of them her spending money just for this. "Didn't have any fun anyhow," she reflected aloud as she laid her weary head on the pillow, and with closed eyes once more she saw the principal as she looked when she stood on the threshold. GENEVIEVE BREHN Cleveland, Minn. BETTY'S JHRTHDAY One morning there was a little girl named Betty. She had a birthday and brought a box of candy to school. Betty's grandmother gave her a pink hair-ribbon for her birthday. After school her mother had a party for Betty. There were six little girls. ' They played games. About four-thirty her mother called them, Oh, such a surprise. There was a birthday cake all frosted white and lighted up with six candles as Betty was six years old. The children wished her many more happy birthdays and then started for home.

Smart Dogs in Hagerstown When I was very small my older brother, had a brown and white dog. I used to take this dog and run off to, my playmate's house. One day we hitched Jack, the dog, to John's wagon and started out to gather walnuts. We found some large ones. We took them home and hulled them. . I took mine home in the wagon. . Jack liked to be led more than he likes to be driven. I had twine string for harness. I have a nice big; collie now, and he is a fine playmate. I named him Jack after the other dog. - My brother had a little puppy named Curly. Curly comes up to Jack and sraba his tail and nulls. Jack looks around and laugha a dog laugh, and wags his tail which throws Curly from side to side. When It la cold. Curly lies on top of Jack to keep warm. . Jack will get the cows and help get the hogs In, and when I prop the gate open with a stick and tell him to shut the gate he goes and takes the stick away. He will pick up an ear of corn and carry it for me. He will bark for his food and stand on his hind legs and eat oat of his dish. He will jump up and get a stick which I hold as high as I can. He will go and get a bag when thrown, and he will shakehands. . i " When Jack gets playful he will grab a stick and run back and forth just out of my reach, growling fiercely all the while. No matter tinnr linnt T trv T rsnnnt ratoh him. ' H. W., aged 12 Hagerstown, Indiana MY CATTIGER" l have a cat his name is Tiger. I love him very much.
