THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, OCT. 20, 1917

KINDERGARTEN HAS

GROCERY STORE What will the school children have next? The latest thing is a grocery store, big enough for the children to really walk in and out of the door, with all the shelves and counters In side, and a display table on each side of the door to tempt the passersby with all the fruit and vegetables which are for ' Bale. This wonderful grocery store is in Warner school kindergarten and was built by the children them selves out of a long, new kind of blocks.- It has a door and two windows, and last Monday when Mr. Dalby took a picture of the store, one of the boys who took the part or the store-keeper was looking out of the window, while two little girls with baskets on their arras were Just going into the store. But the grocery store would not be very much account if the boys and girls could not buy things there, so they have made bananas and peors, peaches, and even sweet potatoes out of clay. They had to have boxes to put the things in, so Jhe boys and girls worked out how the boxes should be made, and now they have everything as complete as possible, t Later on at Christmas time, the store probably will be changed into a toy store, and then the children will dress paper dolls and make all sorts of toy chairs and tables, too. But sow the grocery is so new and interesting that one of the boys has told about it himself: 'The kindergarten at Warner school have a grocery store. They have butternuts, jelly, oranges and apples. Their grocery is made of blocks. .They have a pair of scales and a little counter. Their teacher said they were going to get pumpkins. Their oranges and. ap ples are made of clay. -Clarence Conley, Warner school. Spooky Hallowe'en Social for the Boys at the "Y" Boys! Notice! There will be. a Hallowe'en social at the Y. M. C.

The ghost of mischief and the' spirit of nuisance will walk about and will shake hands with the boys, they will see him take out his eyes and they will feel; his cold, clammy hands that have done their part in helping to kill general nuisance. He will tell of his experiences jinder the ground where he made the acquaintance of the Goblin man and other of the wierd unhabitants of the dhost Kingdom. . And suddenly in the midst of his stay out of the mysterious darkness, there will come a weird, uncanny, unearthly shrill cry and then the ghost of Mischief will disappear just as he came. . The boys who come to this party must be strong and brave. They must come in costume and the one wearing the best girl's. costume and looking most like a girl will win a prize. Masks are not to be worn. The party will commence at 7:30 sharp. TOY MAKERS AT WARNER The boys of Warner School have a lesson In woodwork every Thursday afternoon. We have started to make a bear. We are going to put the bear on wheels and tie a string to it so it can be pulled. We are going to make an owl next. Two or three of the boys got their bear all ready to put on wheels. Miss Salter has charge of the woodwork class. - The janitor made a shop in the basement of our school. About six of us work at one table. Argus Osborn, 6A Grade, Warner School.

WARNER SCHOOL HAS RECEIVED A LETTER

FROM FRENCH ORPHAN Warner school also has received word from the French orphan whom they are supporting. It is written on a pale green postcard and has a ten-cent stamp. After the address to Misa Thompson, Richmond, Indiana, It has "Etats Unla de l'Amerique du Nord" which means, United States of North America. -The message fol lows: "Dear Benefactors: I write to you in my name and in the name of my little brothers, Maurice and Gaston, to thank you for the mon ey which you have sent. "I am twelve years old, Maurice Is ten and Gaston two years. Our dear papa was one time a policeman, then he was employed in Algeria. He was afterwards wounded and died in a hospital in Alexandria, Egypt. "We used to live at Lauman, our native village. Our ma'mma has come here to Card to work In a silk factory. , "We thank you a thousand times. Receive our most cordial respects and our most profound thanks. "Marie Louise Manocl, St Jean du Card, Gard, France." FAIRY TELL TRUE (Continued.) When she awoke, she found herself alone in a great wilderness; and on attempting to cry out, her voice could not he heard, for she had been struck dumb. Then she sprang up, and tried to get out of the wilderness, but wherever she turned the thlckthorn bushes drove her back, and she could not pass through them. The enclosure in which she now found herself shut in was surrounded by hollow caves and in one of these she determined to take up her abode; therefore, when night came on, she crept in and slept till morning, and during stormy or rainy weather it formed her only shelter. Her life was now indeed miserable, and whenever she thought of those happy days when she had lived in the beautiful palace, with children for her companions, she wept bitterly. Her food consisted of roots and wild berries, which she had to search for, and in autumn she collected all the dry leaves, and carried them to the hollow cave, for her bed., In winter she ate nuts, and when snow and ice came, she rolled herself like a poor animal in the leaves and let her hair fall around her like a mantle, for her clothes were all rags. So one year after another passed of want and misery. One day in the spring, when the trees were decked in their fresh green leaves, the. king of the country was hunting in the forest, and while following the deer, he saw it disappear among the thick bushes Lwhich encircled the hollow caves. To follow the deer, he alighted from his horse, and made a way for himself with his sword. When he had thus cleared a path, he saw a beautiful maiden Beated under a tree, and clothed from head to foot in,her golden hair. He stood at first in silent astonishment, and then he said, "Who art thou, fair maiden, and why dost thou sit here in this lonely place?" But she could not answer him, for her lips were sealed. Then the king spoke again, "Will you go with me to my palace?" Then she nodded her head, and the j king taking her In his arms, lifted her on his horse, and rede home with her. ' As soon as they arrived at the castle, he gave her beautiful clothing and everything she wanted in abundance; and although she could not speak, she was so beautiful and graceful that the king fell in love with her, and in a very short time they were married. (To Be Continued.) SENDS THINGS TO SOLDIER BROTHER This summer we had a party for my brother who is a soldier and we had a good time. We had ice cream, cake and candy and we played cards. My brother stayed two weeks and then he had to go back to camp. He is in Wisconsin and is in the 17th field artillery. When he came home we were all glad. My brother Is very strong and he is large and handsome. We get a letter from him about every week. Two weeks ago we sent him a box of things. He was glad to get them. Vernon Morgan, Warner school.

Each one took a little lunch and wiennles and marshmallows. After they had reached the place of the picnic, the girls set busily to work gathering wood to make fires. Two large fires were started and many other little fires were kept going. The girls toasted their marsh mallows and wiennies over the fires. Some of the girls toasted bread and apples. After the lunch was eaten crowds of girls surrounded the epring for water. After the return and uniting of the girls they started for their home. Some parted from the main crowd and went 19th street to their homes while others went off in different directions. Many of the Garfield teachers accompanied the girls on this grand hike which Is not easily forgotten. OVERHEARD AT THE MARKET HOUSE One Saturday night as I was down to the market house, a boy was selling peaches. A woman came up and said, "How much are your peaches a pound?" The boy said, "They are $.10 per lb." "O, they are too high," she said. "They should be 2 lbs. for a quarter." Nellie Burton, 6A grade, Warner school.

I'm awfully sorry that I won't bo here much longer but I guess I won't, because last Saturday when Tommy Schumaker saw his name in the "Old Maid's Corner," he jumped up and said, "I'll murder that old maid." A GOLDEN APPLE (Continued) "Oh, father!" screamed Flossie, with a great cry of rapture, and the next moment she was clasped in her father's arms. "I have not seen yon since this morning. I came back very late. I did not intend to return till tomorrow. I thought I would just look in on the chance of your being awake But you are quite hot, little. girl. Why aren't you asleep? It Is twelve o'clock!" "I have had nothing but bad dreams, just like me," said Flossie. "Why, my darling, what do you" mean?" "I mean that I am bad, too, and I am. I don't think I am sorry for what I have done if Joey is better. Did you hear that Joey was worse, father?" "Joey, of course not; he, is much better. I saw his mother. She said he had taken a turn for the better since three o'clock. He had eaten an apple and it had done him no end of good. Poor little fellow. It was the first thing he had taken a fancy to for days." "And he is better?" said Flossie with a cry of joy; "better?" "Yes, dear, but you mustn't fret like this; lie down and go to sleep." "I can't; I'm too bad." "What have you done that makes you call yourself bad?" "I father, I know you will be angry. I wish God wasn't angry with me. Oh, father! I stole that apple!" "My dear Flossie!" "It wasn't a windfall, and I took it off the tree, and I should not have done it. I wanted it for Joey so I stole it!" Poor Flossie burst into tears, and her father had much ado to comfort her. He was a nice father and although he would not for a moment excuse his little girl for having done wrong, before he left' her that night he forgave her. "You are sorry, and that is the main thing," he Baid ; "and it was an extreme case, and of course I forgice you, and I will give you one by one all the different apples as they ripen on that tree to take to Joey in order to make up to him for the pain In his leg." So Flossie was forgiven, and everything came right, but all the same she had learned her lesson. Even to do good, to do real good, one should not go a wrong way; about it. (The End.) Helen Mashmeyer, Garfield Junior High School. MAY HAVE BANNER The Warner school is thinking of having a banner. The room that has the highest attendance will get it for six weeks. The fourth room is working very hard for the banner. Kenneth Lovin, 4B, Warner school.
