VISITS EDEN PARK Dear Aunt Molly: I want to tell you a little about the museum at Eden park at Cincinnati. It is a very large and beautiful building in the center of Eden park. There is one room I remember that has odd furniture in it that belonged too a queen of long ago. The tied was very old fashioned with posts at each end of it which looked like a post of spools There is another room in this large building in which is kept a mommy. It is so old it Is turning to stone. It Is rapped in a cloth , which keeps it" from smelling. The mummy is kept n a glass coffin. There are a good many old fashioned clothes too. Such as the Indians use to wear, some of George Washington's Clothes. And a good many other interesting things. Well I must close for this time. ? Sincerely yours, ' MARGARET TULL.

POOR PATTY

Patty was going to market to sell her pail of milk. She was busily thinking what she should do with the money. What do you suppose she meant to buy? She planned to buy a new pink dress and a beautiful hat with feathers on It. What fun it would be to toss her head as she went! 'At this moment she gave her head a toss, 'Down came the pail and spilled all the milk. Then she cried and cried. But all her crying would not put the milk back intto the pail. .

There were traveling preachers called circuit riders and when they were in a woods they would follow biased trail. The blazed trair was made by notching trees. Maurice Mentenidck 6 B Hlbberd school.

A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE Once upon to time there was a little girl, whose father was dead. Christmas was drawing near and the poor little girl's mother was ill, "I wonder if any one will bring me anything for Christmas," she said; She did not go to Sunday school for she had no nice clothes like other girls did. That night as she was lying in her her hard rude bed she hearl a tap at the door. "Who could it be," she said. She went to the door and it was her grandma who had bought them something to eat and the little girl a baby doll. It was just what the little girl wanted. They had a nice Christmas and the mother soon got well. "."-. . . EDITH JOHNSON 5A Whiteater School.
