A HOOSIER'S NEST To the Junior Palladium:

eighty years ago called the Hoos

tor's Nest Last year during the centennial, Mr. Garr Williams who

makes the pictures for the front

page of the Indianapolis News drew a picture of a pioneer's home and called it the Hoosier's Nest After they printed the picture he sent the sketch to Mrs. Wrigley and she had

It framed and when she had to leave

her home she gave it to me. On the back of the frame she. put a picture of her father. I am glad I have it. Roger M. Lindley 3A Jo

THE JACK-O-LANTERN

One night Mrs. Jones sent her

little son to the grocery. Jt hap

pened that that very night was Hal-

lowoen. As he passed a house near the

grocery he saw something staring

at him. Oh mercy, what was it? It was a Jack-'lantern but It frightened Tom. He ran home and told his mother there was a great big ghose in front of a house near the grocery. His mother put on her hat and went over to the house and found a Jack-o'lantern on the post at the gate, and they both laughed and laughed Sarah Poinler, 4A grade, Joseph Moore School.

Game at Joseph Moore School

We have fun playing games at school, The games we play are Gypsy, and Fox and Geese. When It Is raining we go down to the basement to play. We play The Farmer In the Dell, The Lassy, Three Deep, Dog and Cat, and Drop the Handkerchief. After recess is over we go up stairs and go to work, ' At noon the ones that bring their dinner have to go in the little room to eat It. Miss Dunlop comes in and gives us some games to play. There are checkers and dominoes. When Miss Dunlop comes in from eating her dinner, she lets us go down in the basement and lets us play all kinds of games till the

first bell rings.

I like to play our games over at Joseph Moore school very much.

The Fairies' Hollowe'en On the 31st of October the fairies had a Hallowe'en party. It was to be at the fairy Queen's palace. The fairy who wore the most beautiful clothes was to be queen after her. The fairies wore beautiful clothes.

The first fairy had a black and yellow dress, the second fairy wore a blue dress. Finally the last one came, she wore pink and white striped-dress with diamonds and pearls. She had a pink and white sash of pink and white ribbon tied for the sleeves, and she had white pearl slippers laid with diamonds.

Soon the queen died. Then Tiny took her place. She lived happy ever after. Your friend Maida Van Voorhis, 9 years, 6B, Joseph Moore.

Kitten Wears Doll Clothes I have a pet kitten. I will tell about her. When she wants a drink she will go to the sink and cry. I can play hide and go seek with her. I could go hide back of the door, and she will come and hunt me. She hides in the same place I did, and I would go bunt her. I would put my arm out and she would jump up and hang on to my arm. I ride her in my go-cart, and I dress her with my doll clothes. She will play with a

string. Katherine Parrish, 6B

Grade, Joseph Moore School.

Pollyanria is Smart Dog I used to have a little white dog. Her name was Pollyanna. She was as full of fun as she could be. She had brown spots over each eye. She would jump up on me every time I had anything to eat. I taught her to roll over, sit up, beg, stand up and walk. She would do all these tilings every time I had a cookie, without me telling her to. I had to sell her because I could not bring her when I moved here from Maine.

Joseph Moore Children Love Pictures We went to the art gallery to look at the pictures. The one I liked

best was called "At Springfield." It was winter. The snow was on the ground. The leaves had fallen off the trees. It was cold. There was a house in the picture. There were some willow trees in front of the house. It was a very pretty picture. There were many pictures there, but I liked the landscape the best. Mabel Pfoutz, 4 A grade, Joseph Moore School. The picture I liked best is a snow scene. There was snow on the houses and trees. You could see the tracks in the snow , where the sleigh had been Katherine, BB grade, Joseph Moore School. This morning our school went to the High school building. There we saw big pictures of autumn and winter and other pictures of many kinds. The one I liked was the picture of n gypsy. Her hair was black, It was hanging around her face. She looked to me like an Indian. Her faco was a light brown and such black hair made me think of an Indian. I thought it was an Indian till I was told that it was a

gypsy. She had a yellow shawl around her. Marie Davis, 5B grade

BON FIRES ARE FUN The best time I ever had was

when we raked up a big pile of leaves, and played in them, for awhile then burned them. We played "Hide and go-seek" and I was "It." There were three girls besides myself. We had a great deal of fun. Then we had to go in for supper Grace Ryan, 5B, Joseph Moore school.

A BOAT RIDE Once a fisherman and his five children got ready to go out on the sea. The mother fixed a lunch for them, and got them started. Their names were Joseph, Peter, Harry, Mary and Ruth. They got on their knees at one end of the boat, and the fisherman sat on a HtUe seat at the other end. When they had gone out they saw another boat not very far away. Mary said, "Mr. Reed said he was going fishing today, I think that is hia boat" When the boat ; came nearer, Mr. Reed was in It. He said, "Why hello Mary! How are you and all the rest?" "Oh, we are all well," said Mary. "I have a whole net full of fish. Do you want some?" said Mr. Reed. "Why yes, if you do not need all of them," said Mr. Hicks, the children's father. So they took the fish and had a good supper of bread, milk and fish. Thelma Feltman, 4A Grade, Joseph Moore School.
