Horace declares that 'eddy reads . all be writes and hakes his head as if he does not ke it. A reporter of a large newspaper ent to visit Horace Wade at his ome In Chicago and tells us about ie trip, and especially about Horce. Asd this is what he says: When an Interviewer visited the outhful writer at his home in Chiago he found an exceedingly boyish elebrity, with disarranged hair nd a wide grin, who was vastly .ore interested in the operations f the movie camera and the shortomihgs of his own skates, on -hich he was to "register" before tie camera, than in his claim to the mrel wreath of fame. j A rri -Attic ktulHncv oAnllla TlTrt.

"I am going to dedicate 'The

" I sometimes use a typewriter, but I prefer a ppn or a pencil." In answer to the invitation Bent out by Miss Eleanor Foster, who is in charge of the book department, that he should come and be in the store on Children's day, he writes: "Dear Miss Foster: I have read your kind letter of Feb. 7, and how much Teddy and myself thank you for your kind remarks about my book, 'In the Shadow of Great Peril,' I will tell you when I come to Indianapolis. "Honey that's my mother and myself will be with you on March 6. and I am so glad I am to meet
the children of Indianapolis. I have many things to tell them. You can't imagine how great is the inspiration 1 get from meeting boys and girls. I am writing for them, and if some people do say that my book is 'humorous' for grownups they forget that little children live In another world just full of fairies and Teddy bears, and they'll
know just how serious I am when they read what I write. For I am writing for the boys and girls of America, for my ambition is to be called 'the Dickens of America.' Isn't that a good ambition? Tell the children to expect me on March 6, and I want to meet just as many of them as I can. Your little friend. "HORACE A. WADE." The librarians at Joseph Moore School this week were Bernice

they planned to capture that city. "These sultans up to that time had been very wise, courageous men who trained the men into powerful armies, and led the troops themselves. But later the sultans, becoming rich and powerful, became lazy. They spent great sums of money to build palaces and buy jewels. They bought beautiful women to grace the palaces. Instead of keeping their leadership by ruling their people wisely, they schemed to have their rivals put
out of the way. It is said that some of the sultans even had their
own brothers killed to prevent any
chance of them gaining control
These sultans became more
cruel as time went on. They sent their men into other countries to
slay whole towns of people and carry back money, food and women
and girls. The women and girls were sold as slaves.
"Finally, the Turks themselves.

A Mongolian wife with all of the orthodox finery which denotes her station in life. The entire savings of many families in Mongolia, China, are set aside to provide the wives with the necessary finery needed to proclaim to the world her station in life. Such elaborate and cumbersome head dress as this cost even among the poorer classes from $150 to $200 and fabulous sums are spent by the wealthy. Long fingernails are also affected by those who do not have to work. Sometimes the nails attain the length of two inches or more and are enclosed in silver cases. Novel sleeves, usually of different material from the gown and extending far below the hands, are another indication of rank and wealth.

get us all the moat we wanted it we would give him a rifle which we agreed to do. He then left us and went home. We got up early the next morning and were about ready to go when that negro hailed us he said lie had us some meat. Sure enough he did. We went on
our trip and about noon we got to the place where we wanted to go. The first thing we did was to start clearing off the land so we could build our house. The house was
built up In the air about ten feet
because ef the dampness at that
place. Our house consisted ot two rooms, one bedroom and a kitchen.
We made some furniture, also a stove made out of sun-dried bricks. Next we started to mine gold. We had a few pans along to wash gold. But before we had very much gold mined it was night, so we quit for that day. We ate our supper and was just done when that negro
came with more meat. He had some
wild turkeys. We stayed there about three months and got a lot of gold. Then we got ready to
start home. Kenneth Rinehart,

M Hid LflUfJ VUlllCd Money to Octavia In one end of the hall of Joseph Moore School nailed to a rather high standard is the picture of a big ship and this ship carries money over the sea to France where Octavia Mezy lives, the little girl, seven years old, whom the boys and girls of this school help to support. This is the way it carries the money for it does not really go over the Atlantic, since this ship is drawn with black crayon on gray cardboard and we fear would never reach the French coast if it were launched from our Atlantic coast: It has portholes in
its sides, of course, as every great vessel has and from these port holes hang long envelopes, though you can not see these in front of the standard as you look at the ship, but you discover these by going behind the picture and peeking around. The children of Joseph Moore drop their pennies and nickels and dimes in the special porthole marked for their grade and it falls down into the long envelope. Every evening this money is collected and is saved until the tima comes when the ship will have collected $18.25 which is the amount of money they Bend every spring to Octavia. Monday afternoon they had collected $15.50 and hoped to have the entire amount collected very soon. The boys of the fifth grade made the 6hip and a splendid looking ship it is, too, with a gay little "stars and stripes" of silk flying from its prow.
