"Althougs Turkish women are not allowed to visit with strange men or be seen with them any place, the little girls can play with! the boys until they are about twelve years uiu aim iij names i just like other girls fu other lands.! But after they are twelve the. girls must wear veils and conduct themselves the same dignified way ! that the mothers do.

"Well, the same games practically, that little folks in America play. The Turkish boys spin tops, fly kites and play marbles. The girls Join with them in games of hopscotch, mum'ble - peg and other sports. "The boys spin tops a bit'different than do the American boys.The little Mohammedans spin the top first with the thumb and finger or; with a string and then keep it spinning by whipping it with a string made into a whip. "When they fly kites they tie pieces of wood into the tails and try to hook these pieces into the other kite strings and bring the other kites down." Now, I'm afraid we'll have to stop again until next week. some of the alphabet leters were labled "dark red," light green," "emerald green," pea green", rass green," "yellow purple,'.' "blue purple," etc. The names' of flowers makes a splendid code; also of trees, mountains, rivers, and cities; of tools, clothes, foods. Oar Cooking Class The 6A and 6B classes of Vaile School (the boys do not go though) go to Hibberd school every Monday afternoon at 2:15 for cooking. Our cooking room is on the second floor.

SNOW BOUND One day I went away on the train to stay for a few days. On Sunday when I came home it snowed so hard and the snow drifted until I could not find the track. I reached the station fifty minutes before train time and Tasked ,the ticket agent how late the train was and he said it was six hours and twenty minutes late. I got to the station twenty five minutes after" two and the train did not come until fifteen minutes before nine and the train had to have a snow plow to get through the snow. When I got home I went to bed because I was so tired and sleepy. Freeman K. Harris, 5A grade Starr School.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM. SATURDAY,

Tommy's Visit to Fairyland Tommy was a little boy of about 8 years old who lived with his mother and nurse Nora, in a large white house on the hill called Willow Lane because there are so many willow trees. One day Tommy's mother decided to go to town, and she promised him a bag of candy if he would be good, and stay at homo with f.ora, to which Tommy agreed. After a while lie grew tired of playing with his toys so he took his primer aad went out and sat d a , win0w tree and began to read. Now the day was very sultry and now and then a small breeze would come and stir the leaves so that they were like a million fans fan ning Tommy. rresentiy lomray grew urea 01 rea(jng so he lay his head back on the trunk 01 tne tree ana immediately a little man dressed all in brown stood before him . The little man was about 3 feet tall with a large pointed cap upon his head and long pointed shoes which turned up on tho end, while his short little jacket and trousers were a perfect fit, but you could hardly see the sharp little eyes that peeped out beneath his cap, but the funniest thing of all was that a bag large enough tor Tommy to get into hung over his back which might have been the cause of him looking so queer. But when the little man spoke it was funnier because he had such a shrill voice that it sounded like the shrill piping of a blue jay. But when he askedTommy if he would like to visit fairy land, he was quite delighted for he had read of it so he quite willingly gave his consent so the little man told him to get in and they would soon be there. When Tommy opened his eyes he was indeed in another world because butter cups and daisies instead of grass made a soft carpet for the earth and it seemed as if he couldn't believe his eyes but when again the little man's voce came to his ears he knew that he was alive and he asked him if he wouldn't like to see the fairy queen, before he went to explore fairyland and at this Tommy was delighted, so after Tommy had washed and made him self presentable, they went into the presence of the fairy queen. After the Queen had asked Tommy about himself and where he "veu " " w 1 : .1 1 1 . ,1 ,:M it v ne was lernmy nungry so sne sumraoned her waiters to bring him a light lunch, whereupon he sat down and ate greedily, which, I am afraid did not please the queen, but nevertheless she said nothing. When Tommy had eaten his fill he and his guide went to explore fairyland. Soon they came to a large field where all kinds of flowers were and HE UJAV ,5AM, J0 iVER.

when he was told that this was where all of the little fairies played he went In and looked around, but all the little fairies were so busy playing with their playmates that they hardly noticed Tommy, but occasionly, If they would throw a sidelong glance at him it was indeed only to turn thei saucy little heads away again. hj agked h companion who wa3 this little man to show him some thing more interesting, so they, went on. Presently they came to a large ' rose garden wherein Tommy was ! told all the girl fairies lived, but he , did not wish to'go in, but when they ; came to a tulip garden and he was i told that the boy fairies lived, he' at once became interested and he wanted to go in, but as the sun i was sinking the little man told ! him that if he wanted to be home ! before dark they must hurry, but ; up to this time Tommy had forgot-! ten about his home and his mother, j declared that he was not in thej least ready to go home, the little; man went on taking Tommy j through some of the most beautiful j places he had ever seen. Finally they came to a pretty ; steep and high hill which would have looked like a mountain to fairies and right near the top was , the most beautiful fountain Tommy had ever seen and right then and there he resolved to go up and get a closer view of it for he could be quite stubborn when he wanted to, so he asked the little man to go with him to which the little man gave a hysterical little laugh and said that the queen would be very angry if any one went near the fountain. But as I said, Tommy was more stubborn than usual so he told the little man that he was oing, so the little man seeing that nothing could be done, said,"Very well you may go, but I will remain behind," so Tommy went. When he almost reached the top he was so delighted that he danced and frolicked because the fountain was so beautiful that it seemed to beckon him on. WTien Tommy had almost reached the top he was more delighted than anything so he jumped and skipped so hard that all at once Tommy felt his foot hit against something hardwhich caused him to roll down the hill, hitting first one bump and then another, but when he had almost reached the bottom he called help: help! Then immediately some one shook him by the shoulders and he opened his eyes to see his mother bending over him, saying, Why Tommy you have been dreaming, get up and come into the house and tell me all about what made you call help! WTien Tommy had related his adventures to his mother and had been duly comforted he openly resolved that he would never like to visit Fairl Land again.

Adventures MUNTINft EVE FINDS OUT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTIES Uy ii. 8. Alexander "Look here boy I'm going to shake the stuffing out of you. You can't insult the Republican Party while I'm around and get away with It. Where'd you ever get the idea that Republicans were crooks I" A big man standing near had seized Hunting Eye and made this threat when he had repeated what his friend, the mayor, had told him that all Republicans were crooks. "Why," faltered the boy from the North Woods, "the mayor said so the other day." "Well, the old scamp," laughed the Republican. "I'm a friend of his. He is a Democrat. You're not so bad as I thought. , "The Democrats and the Republicans are two different political parties. The story of the difference between them is a long one. "When the government was first formed, there were no real parties, Soon after it was started however, a big question came up as to what sort of a government this was. Some men thought it should have very broad powers. Others were of the opinion that its powers be very narrow. These two different kinds of men got together into the first great parties, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalist. "But after the question which first started them died down these two parties began to be better organized. Now there is an organization clear from the national committee down to the smallest precinct. "Now most men do not think of the party to which they belong as a side to any question. They think of it as a party instead of a body of men who think the same on a big question. Now a Democrat is a Democrat because he is one and a Republican the same. Of course they take different sides on questions that come up but often largely because they are different parties and not because they really have thought the question out and decided it." THE BUMBLE BEE I heard a funny little noise, One lovely summer day, "Buzz-buzz," it whispered in my ear And then it flew away. And lit upon a yellow flower, And then upon a white, Then buzzed and buzzed and buzzed some more, And then flew out of sight. It was a little bumble bee, I heard somebody say, Who whispered to the pretty flowers, That lovely summer day.
