And when he saw how busy she was he wanted to marry her. One day he asked her why her maid wore such fine clothes. Then the little girl told him the maid saved all the pieces of threads she had thrown away. Then the prince sat still for a long time. Then he thought it he had married the little girl she might have wasted all his kingoom. But if he married the maid, she would be a lesson to his people. Then he chose the maid for his princess. And the little girl had to spin and spin for her living. By Marguerite ' Fourth grade, School No. 9. MY VISIT TO KENTUCKY I went to Carrolton, Kentucky, and staid two weeks with my uncle and aunt in vacation. I had a fine time. I was a little homesick the first night I was there, but I soon got over that. The second night my uncle asked me to go with him to get the cows so I could get them in the evening when he was busy. So the next evening I went to get the cows and instead of sending them home, they sent me home. , The next time I brought them home uncle gave me a little whin to get the cows up with. They never got after me any more, into a land of Who Knows Where, Uncle caught many fish. Ve had fish nearly every day. When I did not have any work to do I played with the little ducks that said, "Quack, Quack." Ruth H. Bromley, A grade, Hibberd School.

"TO

RUNAWAY TIM Tim Brown lived in a western town out in" California. Once when ho was in Richmond I saw him and said, "III," to him. I didn't think anything about It, and mean nothing of course, but ho stopped and said, "Hi, boy,'' just as though he wanted to talk. So I said, "I'll bet I can guess where you come from." "Where?" ho said. ''California," I said. I didn't know at all, but I just happened to think so. "How did you know," he said. "Just guessed," I said. "Did you have any fun out there?" And then this is what he told me. (You can believe it or not as you please.) "i lived out there in that littlo burg of about four thousand people and most of them were miners. Well, we were about twenty miles from 'Frisco, and I used to plan about running away and going to the city. "One night I crept out of bed and hopped a freight train and got to 'Frisco about seven o'clock next morning. I stalked up town with about two dollars in my pocket. I saw a restaurant, slipped in, and ordered ham and eggs. Paid twenty cents for it and went out, got on a

bus and rode out through the park. "I came back in the city and hoped to get a ruffian, like some cheap books tell about, and get a big reward. Then I'd go home, I thought, and slam a bag of gold on the floor and say, "Gee, I'm glad to get rid of that load." "Well, I saw a little sneak sup ping around the corner. I jumped on him and said, "What are you doing?" He said: "Ma's going to lick me." "So I took him back home and his mother gave m a nickle. Say I was mad. So I thought it was time to go home! I hopped another freight and when I got home I had just ten cents left. And now Dad takes me everywhere with him, so I've quit running away. But come down next week," said Tim," and I'll tell you a story about another runaway. "Well, all right," said I, "I'll be down about Wednesday. So long." Everett J. Lady, Starr School.
