Editor. ' Dear Aunt Molly: ' Who made the first brick? Gilbert Snider. Dear Gilbert: Since the old Egyptians, the Babylonians and Assyrians all had a well developed brick-making system established long, before they thought about writing things down In history, It left to us merely to remark that the first brick undoubtedly was made by the first enterprizing creature to dabble in mud pies. Ed. : Dear Aunt Molly: ' What is Jimmie G.'s last name?! Betty Price. Dear Betty: The last name which Jimmie reported anyone had called him was a "red-headed stump-nosed frecklefaced craw-dad."

However, if you wish to know what the "G" Btands for, Jimmie's full name is James Frederick Gray, Jr. Ed.

THE MOOSE ARE

X Vr X tZw i

When the grass begins to crackle underfoot; when the leaves begin .to swirl in mad edies and the naked branches to reach after them impotently; when the morning crispness hints of coming frosts; then the man with a bit of sportsman blood in his veins, feels the call cf the wild. Follows a great furbishing and oiling of guns. There's rummaging through closets for boots and leggings and oilskins and warm duck coats. There's writing of letters to places with wierd Indian names, to engage guides and camps. There's a lot of discussion with fellow-sportsmen a3 to what to take and what not to take, but there is no discussion as to where to go at least not for tho Eastern sportsman. New Brunswick is the hunting ground for him. Accessibility and plentifulness of game guido Ir.s choice.

The keen desire of every hunter going into the north woods i3 to get a moose head. This desire is usually gratified by going to New Brunswick. Its deep woods shelter moose, caribou and deer in great j numbers. Black bear and Canada lynx, or wild-cat, offer b!g game sport while small game i3 to be j found in riotous abundance. Stalking moose is the keenest of sport and demands much skill and caution. I Moose, as a rule, feed "down wind" and, with their eyes protecting them ffom the front and their wonder

ful sense of smell and hearing from the rear, stalking must be done "up w.'iid." Getting your moose by "calling" is possible during the early days ofthe.sea3on. , New Brunswick guides and camps are unexcelle iand are prepared to accommodate women who are often members of hunting parties." In the care of a g lide like six-foot Harry Allen, a hunter man or womanis assured of royal sport, good care and an all-round fine time.

Three Little Pennies Three little pennies, bright and new. Wondering what in the world to do. "I'll spend myself," said one and went To a candy store, and soon was spent. He spent himself for a licorice stick, And made a little boy awful sick. Said the next little penny, "I'll not be boused." So away by himself he rolled, and was lost. . . "I'll save myself up, that's what I'll 'do." Said the last little cent, and he grew and grew, Till he grew to a dollar bill, at last. My goodness, but pennies do grow up fast! Contributed by A Junior Reader. Peter and the Hare Thoughtless little Peter, with his little gun, Went out by the woodside for a little fun; Saw a happy little hare who on clover ted, With his little gun took aim, and shot him in the head. Thoughtful little Peter, sad for what he'd done, ' Sat down on a stump, and there, by it, laid his gun; Wished that he could bring to life that little hare so still. "Nevermore," said he, "will I a harmless creature kill." Contributed by A Junior Reader. Indignant Mother: "What on earth do you do to your clothes to keep me sewing buttons this way?" Apologetic Son: "I don't know, mother. I merely touch the button. I can't imagine what dots the rest" -Tlie American Boy.

fc 4 The Fresh Freshies By GRANNIE HODAPP. It seems as if the Dean twins, Lee W., Kenneth P., Johpny R., and Clyde G., have a weekly meeting at Kresge's Five and Ten Cent Store. Madge Whitesell is very fond of going to Lynn. Why is it Madge? The North Enders and the South Enders had an interesting fight last Fridaxjiight. Henrietta Co!lin3 and Isabelle Hunt spent a pleasant day in the cemetery last Thursday. Madge Whitesell was asking where Roland O. got his cute little pipe. He got it at the Eaton Fair, Madge. - - Why is it we never see certain people, such as Ruth B. and others, since the movies are closed? . Dalo Harkins and Vernon Ward do not want their names in the paper. It is embarrassing isn't it, Lboys? Leonard Y. has a new white sweater which somewhat reminds I us of a sailor's white middy. While making candy, Vivian Nye and Viola Bromley get more on their hands than on the plate. Pauline Denny and Hilda Banks are very good nurse girls. Henrietta Collins and Lena S. are said to be rivals. We wonder what it is all about. Shlney McBride is 'very lonesome since some ' of his friends have gone away. Something must have happened to the bunch that used to meet at Tenth aad Main street ou Sunday, j

It cost over a million francs, this amount being subscribed by the people of France. The pedestal cost $250,000 and was raised by popular subscription in the United States. The statue was unveiled Oct. 28. 1886. Lone Scout Charles B. Anderson. The Little Strangers There is a pretty little child, Lives In behind our looking glass; WTiene'er I walk across the floor, Then she comes out to see me pass. I know she is a playful child, For if I run, then so will she; And she has playthings just like mine; t They always dress her, too, like me. If I go close, then she comes close, Some day I think that we shall speak, And then I'll ask her to come through, And stay with me a whole long . week. Contributed by Geneva Maag.
