'Bring me your gifts! Then from the Compost Heaps there rose brownish, dim, waiving figures, like a lot of shadows suddenly come to life. And then there came that sweet singing again, the words of which I have told you Life! Life! All is Rife With Life! Life! Unquenchable Life! "Each held its shadowy hands together like a cup, and the hands overflowed with something that dripped like dew, yet glowed like a wonderful light, rose color or gold or green or blue or white. Each came to the shining Lady, bowed low, held its shadowy hands over tho urn, poured in the dripping light, and melted into the light! At length the crystal urn was full to overflowing with the glowing, glittering rainbow lights. "Then the beautiful Lady reached up and plucked a star! The children all gasped "A Star!" "Yes; a star. It was right there above her head, hanging like a Christmas tree fruit on the topmost branch of the old Apple Tree. She plucked the star and dropped it into her crystal urn. At once faster than I can say it In words, a million times faster than I could think thcro grew up a tree, all green and gold. In a twinkling its branches spread all over the sky and burst into bloom with stars! " "Tell me your secret, O magical Lady! Tell me your name!' I cried. '"My secret you can not yet know,' she said. 'Much must your soul travel and much must you learn before that. Here on this earth some call me Death. Some who are wiser call me Change. Others, wiser still, call me Life. It Is enough to know that 1 Am, and that nothing which the Great Giver of All Things has given to my keeping shall ever be lost. Take here my gift; take the magical Gift of the Compost Scatter it in the Garden beds for the renewal of life." She held out the crystal urn to me. I trembled so I could hardly take it. "'Oh, Garden Lady, look! a voice called out to me. 'See the Northern Lights!' "The voice startled me. I dropped the crystal urn. Its light flow--d all over the Garden and mounted up into the northern sky, glowed, rippled like a flag red, white and blue pale, glowed again, paled and died away into the deep night blue."

Some of the 8A boys delight in giving the girls "Hersheys." The girls are delighted, too. The 8As are crazy to take the part of Caesar in the play of Julius Caesar as they usually get to sit down. In one of the rooms, Monday, at Garfield, the boys and girls had a shower of peanut hulls. The teacher was very careful with his detention tickets as he had plenty. By B. C.

Many Children Give Dolls to Italy Over in Italy about Christmas morning there will be seventy-seven dark haired happy little girls who will be glad that there is such a place as Richmond, Indiana, for that is the number of dolls that were taken to the Palais Royal to be sent to Italy in time for Christmas. Of course grown-ups brought many of them but children brought a large number of them, often dolls that they had dressed themselves. On many of them the little givers had written little Christmas greetings to their little unknown friend who would receive the precious package. Baxter 5A-Bs Give Eighteen Dolls. The boys and girls of Miss. Edmund's room at Baxter school decided they would like to give dolls over the sea to Italy. So they got busy and bought the dolls and dressed them and by the time they get ready to take them to the Doll Headquarters at the Palais Royal there were seventeen of the dolls, smiling and, oh so happy at tho thought of the wonderful trip they were to have. Dolls of all kinds were there, pretty little girl dolls, smiling and sturdy boy dolls, a bride, and a most loveablo baby doll and many others. There was another baby doll there, too, one that once belonged in some little girl's own doll family, a pretty and very well behaved baby doll. It seemed to say, "my little mistress cried when she sent me away, I don't know why but she kissed mo and whispered In my ear that I was going on a long journey and would soon be in another country where I would have another little mistress, and for me to be good and make her happy. Oh I'm so anxious to see my new little mother. I know I'll like her, for my mistress said I would." Dolls came in from Centerville and Carthage and several places around Richmond. The dolls were packed Wednesday and started on their journey to New York where they will join many other dolls and embark immediately for "sunny Italy." Stockings were sent with the dolls and so a useful gift was sont to the needy little girls of Italy as well as the much longed for doll. Money has also been forwarded from Richmond to the Italian Relief Committee in New York city.

Ginger Bread Men Made by Children in Kindergarden The boys and girls of Joseph Moore Kindergarten made some real ginger bread cooky men on Wednesday afternoon. They were deli-clous, too! Mrs. Nice's room gave a very at tractive little play showing why we in America have more to be thankful for this year than many other nations. Boys and girls in costumes which they mado themselves took the part of different countries of our Allies in the great war and spoke of the many things they had to be thankful for. After that America came out and named many of the good things that have come to America and for which we may be grateful. Hou) Carl Planned His Thanksgiving Little Carl lived in the city. Ono day his mother sent him to the store to buy some groceries. After he had bought them the grocer gave him a turkey egg. So he went home and his mamma said that he could take it out to his sister's house on the farm. He took it out and put it under a hen. In about four weeks a little turkey hatched. It grew and grew till it was a big turkey. Now it was the week of Thanksgiving. So two days before Thanksgiving they took it over to Carl's house. Carl'3 mother was going to kill it the day before Thanksgiving. And was going to invite the grocer and his wife over for dinner on Thanksgiving day. But the night before someone stole the turkey.

While Ladydear was bringing Siguor Angelo to Naples to help in the hunt for Jack and Jane, Cap tain Brave wan doing what he could to find some trace of them. And he had discovered something which he was sure would help in the search. Now I know you couldn't guess in a million years who helped him in his discovery. Well, none other than Booh. I suspect you thought Booh had teen forgotten entirely. Well, he hadn't. Booh was along with Jack and .Time and Ladydear and Captain I Brave tho day the children were ; stolen. Ho was standing beside Jane, waiting for her and Jack to move on from the store window when tho two men rushed from the doorway and picked both the children up. When he sow the men handling Jack and Jane roughly and hoard them .scream ho jumped at one of the men and bit as hard as he could. The man shook him off and then kicked him with all his might. Booh was lifted high into the air and landed hard on the sidewalk. lie rolled over and over before he could get to his feet again. His side hurt terribly where he had been kicked but he saw Jack and Jane still being carried away by the two big men so he ran after thorn, barking as loud as he could. He followed the men through the first building, across the street and into the second building. But as the men dashed through the front room of that building one of them slammed the door behind him before little Booh could get through it. So Booh was left behind in the room. He barked as long as he heard any sounds in the building, but when ho hoard the men walk out of another door of the building and back to the sidewalk he thought he was alone. The cellar was at the rear end of the house and Booh couldn't hear or smell anybody way down there. Jack and Jane couldn't hear Booh's whining when he found he was left alone, so they didn't know that he was near. For once it was a good thing that Booh had a curious disposition, for,

It is J. 22, so I wonder if you know. A FOX AND THE TURKEYS Onco there was a fox who was always hungry. One day Mr. Rabbit told Mr. Fox that in Mr. Man's yard there were three nice largo turkeys. One dark night Mr. Fox crept up to the tree where the turkeys were and said: "Who wants to come home with me?" And they said: "Not I." "I have a nice field of corn." But they only laughed and said: "You can not fool us." And all at once they paid: "Here comes Mr. Man's clogs!" And away Mr. Fox went, per.I THANK THEE I thank Thee, Father, for tho care Which fills my life and makes it fair; I The sunshine and the pleasant rain, The seed which grows the golden grain, Tho tender love surrounding me, For all these gifts so sent to nie I thank Thee. Selected by Marguerite Purbanck instead of deciding that he was doomed to stay in tho room he began to look for some way to escape. Tho windows were too high and closed, too so Booh knew ho couldn't get out through them. Tho door through which he came had .swung shut when tho men had closed tho inner door, lie pushed against both these doors' with his nore, but they were closed tight There was just one other door in the room. That looked as though it was shut tight, too, but ho pushed against it as hard a ; he could 3nd almost fell over when it opened. When Booh recovered from his surprise he saw that he was in a room on the side of tho house and right in front of him was an open window. Without stopping to think where he might land he ran across the room and jumped as high as ho could and just managed fo clamber over tho window sill and drop to a narrow paved space between the houses. And then, just as he thought he was free again he discovered that the passageway was closed at both ends. A shed reached from ono house to the other in tho back and high piece of fence closed it at the front. The window through which he had come was so high that he couldn't have jumped hack had he cared to, so there he was. There wasn't a window in the wall of the next house so there was no way of attracting attention except by barking. Booh sat down and howled as only a tiny dog who is about ready to cry would howl. It was this howl that Captain Brave heard the following day while trying to get some trace of Jack and Jane. Booh had almost barked his lungs out when the captain heard him. Copyright, 1919.
