They tried to put him in the Scale lot again so that they couia wevgn mm, but didn't succeed. He jumped the fence Into a pasture field. Then the men wait ed a little while and then thev took after him; he jumped into a wheat neia, men into a plowed field, the . men right after him. He tried to fjurap a hedge fence , and got all scratched up, but he couldn't do it, then he turned on Sam and Sam naa to get out of the way or he would have run over him.

Will A. closed the stanchion on him, then the men let the other cattle out. Bill W. got hold of the hooks and held the bull while Sam put a bull1

snap through the bull's nose, (you ' ought to have heard him snort) and tied a rope to it, then they I backed the truck up to the door!

They got him almost to the truck and the broke and let him loose. He ran along the walls and tried trt prat out, Dut ne couldn't, then he ran up to a stanchion and tried to go over the manger, but Rose Adams, Will Adams' wife, hit him over the head with a pole. He ran to the door and knocked it open and went out, went to the gate and knocked it open and went out into the barn lot. Then Bill and will got around him and drove him out in the pasture field again. -w f After all this work and bother they let him go.

Query Corner

The editor will trv to answer questions readers of tho Junior submit to her. She will not promise to answer ell of them. The questions will be answered In rotation, so do not expect the answer to be printed in he same week in which you send It in. j Dear Aunt Polly: When is Easter this year? Why do we have Easter? And why do we always think of eggs on Easter? Thank you DOROTHEA. Dear Dorothea: I expect by this time you know that Easter is tomorrow, don't you? We have Easter day because years ago, a short time after the death of Jesus, the church nut it in thttr regular church calendar as a day wnen we especially remember the ressurection, or coming to life again of Christ, and that day has been brought down thrmiph nil these years by the Catholic church and many other churches as well The reason we always think of eggs on Easter, and little chicks, is because they are a si en nf ncv life, and that is what the resur rection means. Wasn't it SDlendid that these ancient priests put Easter in the bpringtime in their calendar, because there are so manv. man signs of reawakening life in this loveiy season? AUNT POLLY Dear Aunt Polly: What was your first teacher's name? m. H. Dear M. H.: Dear me! Can I think way back mere? Of course 1 can! That is I can remember well my first teacher in the public schools, and that is what you mean, don't you? i went to two kindergartens, too, (that was before thev were in the schools as they are now). 1 won der ir you know her. Her name Is Miss Lupton at Starr school. It is a good thine she made mn like school as much as she did, right then at the beeinnine. or I miht have played hookev often and then just think how much I would have missed. Sneaking of nUvinr hookey makes me remember tht my mind sometimes played hookey when 1 was right In mv nlare nt school, and I missed what the teacher waa teaching us, and now I

wish 1 knew some of those things. It is a very good thing to keep your eyes and ears open au'l the time to what is going on whereever you are, even when It isn't very interesting. Try it yourself and see if you don't learn tots of things that the dreamy boy or girl lets slip past him Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: Can you answer this? Why is .one teacher nice and another Just the opposite? S. C S. Dears S. C. S.: Have you ever really triod to make yourself like some teacher

mat you don lake a bit when you nrst go into her room? Try it! I heard some woman say that once to her little girl, who was saying, "I don't want to go in Miss s room a bit, nobody likes her." Her mother said, "Well if you go into her room thinking that way about her you will find her, probably just that way, but if you try to be kind to her and interested in your work, and to really like her, you may find her very different from the idea you have of her." The little Jdrl tried it. and found out that theis teacher was one of the most interesting and the kindest of all the teachers she had had. Perhaps you will find out something like this If you give the experiment a test. Aunt Polly. The Three Inch Grin Sister measured my grin one day, i ook tne ruier and me. Measured the inches all the way; une, two three. "Oh! You're a Chesshire cat," said sne. Father said. "That's no in " Then he nodded and smiled at me. muea at my tnree inch grin. Brother suggested, I'd better begin. Trying to trim it down; But mother said, "Better a threeincn grin," Than a little half inch frown." Selected by Jnoenhlne Thr Hibberd -schooL WILD DUCKS.

Getting Enlisted Chapter II. Ben and Jack were marching on their way to the trenches. "Well. Jack, how do like this?" asked Ben. "I'm pretty tired, but Tm going to walk right along if it takes my life," answered Jack. About a month after hard traveling they arrived at the trenches. They were very glad to get there

ior tney wanted to rest Bang! went the big cannon, which scared Jack so much that he came near jumping out of his clothes. "What's the matter with you. Jack?" asked Ben. "Gee! didn't you hear that?" said Jack, shaking off the shivers. "Sure I did, but 1 didn't see what makes you jump so," said Ben, laughing for he had been used to noise. Just then the captain came and said, "Well, boys, we have been thinking of going over the top." "Then shall we get ready to go go over the top by tomorrow?" asked Ben. "No, I think we will start at sharp tonight," answered the ca tain, as he went out. Ben and Jack was ready at the time set to go. Over they went and were running toward the German lines. A yell came from back of Ben, and Ben turned around and saw Jack falL He ran to him and called mm. A whispering voice said, "Goodbye, pard, I am leaving you now." Ben did not lose a moment to give him some water, but it was too late, for a shell hit Ben square in the heart and killed him, but Jack was taken to a hospital and died there. The End.)
