WOULD PEACE IS NOT A NEW

A GHOST FOUND OUT My grandma was awakened by a terrible noise. It sounded like someone, was rolling down tstairs, or else dragging something over the bare floor. My! what a dreadful noise! Well, up Grandma got with lamp in hand; she hunted and hunted till finally she got nervous; so she called my mama and they began to hunt together Grandma lived (I almost forgot to tell you) in an old fashioned house 'way out near Earlham cemetery on National road, with lots of cupboards and queer, spooky places in it. Well, Mamma looked all around with Grandma and was just about. ready to tell Grandma that she must have been dreaming, when, not two feet from Mamma the racket began to rumble and rattle and bang. Then, it stopped almost as quick j as it had begun and then com-j menced again. My mama jerked open an old cupboard and there I stood Mister Ghost, a big old rat, trying to roll an ear of corn down the hole into his nest. Marlin Clair Bishop, 5th grade, Sevastopol school, age 10. P. S. I sent a story once before when Aunt Polly was away and they printed my name Martin, and it is Marlin. Ed Note: Dear Marlin Aunt Tolly is away this time, too, but we've got your name right, this time, sure. Editor pro tem. Hallowe'en Party Is Announced for Oct. 22 Of course, we're going. Going where?

Wonderful Bird Is Dead Missouri's most gifted bird, a parrot named Polly Langston, died recently at the age of 53. Polly was a feathered prodigy whose remarkable talents included many vocal and linguistic accomplishments. She could sing and talk English as well as Spanish, her mother tongue; pray and sing several of the old familiar hymns which she had picked up at church and social gatherings, besides having a wide repertory of conversational "small talk." At ono time, when the circus came to town and Polly had poured forth her sage salutations to the passing paraders, the attention of the late P. T. Barnum was attracted to her and a large cash offer was made for her, but her owner could not be induced to part with her. She remembered to her passing hour an event of her early life, when a cyclone wrecked the town and brought death to scores of the inhabitants. Polly survived by a miracle, but for more than forty years afterwards, whenever the dark clouds gathered she became so frantic with fear that it was necessary to put her where she would escape the lightning's flash and the roar of thunder. One of her favorite expressions was to say "I've had such a delightful time." Our Dumb Animals ART CLUB ORGANIZED A Monday art club has been organized at Garfield, he officers being as follows: President, Mary Wade; Treasurer, Vera Lubinsky; Monitors, Marguerite Minnix, Christine Managan and Irene Sitloh.

On a farm not far from Richmond, there were two sisters, by the names of Mary and Alice Green visiting their grandmothers. They had got word that John Dunn, their cousin, was coming in his father's auto that night. The girls went and got clean dresses on and then waited for him. Just as they sat down to supper, they heard an auto stop. They ran and opened the door and saw John and his father. They asked Mr. Dunn to eat supper, but he said thtat he had to go, so they said "Good-bye," and went in and ate their supper. The next day Mrs. Green asked the children if they would go to the woods and get some young maple trees to set out. They said i they would. They got a spade and started. The woods was a mile from Mrs. Green's house. They saw a maple tree, so started digging for the roots. John dug about a foot when he struck something. Continued next week. Ethel Everett, grade 8B, Garfield school. THE BRAVERY OF THE YANKS Several years ago in No Man's Land, The Yanks were fighting, hand to hand.

After they got it done mey set It out on the gate Dost to frighten anyone who might pass by. The boys' mother called them. She told them to go down town and get some bread. They left Rover, their pet dog, in care of Jack O' Lantern. They told him not to let anyone steal it. When the boys came back from town the Jack O'Lantern was gone. Tom said,. "Oh! I wonder who took the Jack O'Lantern?" Jack said, "I wonder, too." The two boys went on a hunt of the Jack O Lantern, and where do you suppose they found it? Why, under the porch? Their pet monkey, Trlxy, that Uncle Ned gave to them, saw it out there, and she thought that it would be a fine plaything. Of course, Rover did not dare to hurt Trixy, because he had been taught not to. Rover went and laid down beside, the boys as if to say he was very-" sorry he caused so much trouble. The boys went and told their mother and father all about it at the supper table. Their father told them they would have to set it out again; it might scare some one yet. The boys put it out there and hid behind the wall and watched to see if anyone got scared. There were several children got frightened at the Jack O' Lantern, but the older folks did not because they had played the same kind of pranks when they were young. Mildred Beck, seventh grade, Mon roe school, Eldorado, Ohio. DOG SETTLES A LAW CASE What's in a name? Well, everything, when it's a dog's name. A London magistrate, called upon to settle the ownership of a dog a black Pom was quite puzzled by the evidence produced, including elaborate pedigrees; but the case settled itself the moment the dog's name was introduced. "Nigger! Nigger!" said one of the claimants and the dog instantly bounded to the speaker and caressed him. "Prince! Prince!" called the other; but "Nigger" was deaf to the appeal and left the court with the master who knew his real name. The Children's Newspaper. SOFT PEDAL "Did the crowd applaud Spellbinder?" "Applaud? It sounded like a rubber heel on a feather mattress." tdne Scout.
