When Bill Jr. heard Mr. Windlass sejl him to the man from the vest he bahed: "Hurrah! Hurrah! Papa Billy and Mamma Nanny, come here and hear what glorious news I have for you, I am going west tomorrow!" Nanny nearly fainted when she heard the news, it was so sudden, and even staunch old Billy Whiskers shed a tear when he thought of his gallant young son leaving them, prehaps forever. While as for Day, she jut rolled over on the ground and cried, but was soon comforted by a handsome young goat only a few months older than herself. True to his word, Mr. Wilder, the western gentleman, sent his man for Billy Jr. just before, darkj' and when the goats saw him come through the gate preparatory to leading Billy Jr. off, they all gathered round to say a last farewell, and old Billy, Nanny, and Day all followed him to the gate and watched him with streaming eyes
through the palings until he was
out of sight. The man led Billy Jr. to the depo.t and there he was put Into a freight car with the westerner's horse, Star. "Hello. Mr. Billy Jr.! Glad I am to have you as a companion. You did not expect to have such good luck as thlB when last I saw you. You will find this beats walking all to pieces." "It certainly does," answered Billy. Jr. "This piece of luck is be
yond my greatest expectations." Just then the train gave a jerk forward and stopped suddenly, which sent Billy Jr. off his feet, it vns so unexpected, and bumped F- 's nose against the end of the
"WelL I never!" said Billy Jr. "This id vorso than the rocking of a vessel for knocking one around." "Yes, and the worst of it la you can never tell when it is coming. If one only. could, he might brace himself for it and not get hurt," said Star. "I hear you have traveled a good deal by water and that you were once shipwrecked," said he. "Won't you tell me something of your adventures?" "Some day I will, but now I want to ask you question about the west." After a half hour's backing, switching, and jerking, the train at last moved out of the yards and started on its way for the west, with a bumpity, bump, bump and a clankity, ' clank, clank. Once out of the city, it wound Itself In and out among the hills and across country like a huge, brown snake. In this way they traveled for a couple of days. They enjoyed the scenery of the Horse Shoe Bend in the Allegheny mountains, which they crossed; and they both speculated on what would become of them if the train rolled from the track In rounding the curve -and landed them at the foot of the mountain thousands of feet below. Through the slats of the car that had been left open they could see the country through which they passed, and they stood and looked until cinders got in their eyes and they grew too tired to stand still.

' want any one to know he had it. So,
i he poured the gold pieces into a
I bag and ran into the forest to hide j it. He did not know there was a i hole in the bag and, as he ranj l along, the gold pieces fell from thej 1 hole and lay shining in the grass, j There a little fairy found them. I i She did not want the man to have ! ; them. So she changed them into !
flowers for the children. When j the man missed the gold pieces he ran back to find them. He hunted 1 for a long time, but he found only , golden buttercups. The first buttercups in the world grew in the grass. Robert Dafler, 4B grade, Starr School.
CARLO, THE HERO Once upon a time there was a big shepherd dog. He was a nice dog, and a pretty one. His mistress was a little girl about four years old. She had blue eyes and brown hair. Her name was Martha. She was very fond of Carlo (for that was the dog's name) ; and he loved to follow her out in the woods, and along the little stream. One day in June Martha had her
doll and Carlo was with them. They
went to the woods
came to the stream, Martha sat
down and took off her slippers and
stockings so 6he could go in wading. While she was wading, she slipped on a slick rock and fell in. When Carlo saw her, he jumped in after her, for he did not want her to drown. He swam with her till they came to the bank. When he had her on land he went to bring her dolly. He dragged he home. When her mother and father saw them they ran to get her. After that, Carlo was called a hero because he saved little Martha's life Treva Mackey, 5A grade, Sevastopol School.
THE WAY TO DO IT Once upon a time a little boy went to his aunt's house to play. He played till dark. His aunt gave him a piece of cake. He held the cake in his hand very tightly. When he got home his mother said that was not the way to carry cake. The way to carry cake is to wrap it up and put It in your hat. The next day he went to his aunt's and his aunt gave him a pound of butter. He put the butter
When theyi in his hat and the sun was shining
My Pet Cat When we get up of a morning we open the door and in walks the cat. We give his his breakfast and he goes and lies down by the fire. And about two o'clock he wakes up and wants his dinner and we feed him dinner. If you tickle him he will bite. He bit Dad one morning for tickling him and now Dad calls him a biting cat because he bit him. Mama said if he would have let the cat alone the cat would have let him alone. But the -cat still comes for supper, dinner and for breakfast. David Guy Goble.
bright. The butter melted and went all over his face. When he got home his mother told him that was not the way to carry butter. The way to carry butter is to hold it in your hand and when you come to the brook dip it in. The next day his aunt gave him a dog. He carried the dog until he came to the brook, and then he dipped the dog in and lifted it out of the water and went home. When he got home his mother told him that was not the way to carry a dog. The way to carry a dog is to tie a string around the dog's neck and lead it. The next day he went to his aunt's, and his aunt gave him a loaf of bread. He tied the string around the bread and dragged it. When he srot home his mother told him that
wasn't the way to carry bread. The way to carry bread is to hold it in your arms, and not to drag it along. The next day his mother baked three pics and left them on the door step to cool. She told him not to step in them when she was gone to her sister's. When she had gone he came out and steped right in
the middle of the pies. When his j
mother came home and saw what he had done, she whipped him and sent him to bed Carl Schneidewind, 5B grade, Sevastopol School.
GIRLHOOD STORIES OF FAMOUS WOMEN
Dressed in heavy robe3 of state, a baby girl, only nine months old, was carried from her cradle to the church, where Cardinal Bet on placed a royal crown upon her head, bent her little fingers about a golden scepter and presented her with a historic sword. Great nobles knelt before her, kissed the tips of her baby finger and swore allegiance to their queen. Royal princes from other countries Faluted her. But the little queen cried so hard the ceremonies had to be shortened, so that she could be returned to her nursery. Perhaps it was premonition that caused the little girl to weep ko loudly at her coronation. For she was the unfortunate Mary, Queen of Scot? (1542 1587), who was left fatherless when she was a few days old, widowed when she was 18, and beheaded before her hair was gray.

h3 young readers of the Junior Palladium who are following with pi much eagerness the adventures of the goat, "Billy Whiskers." and his family will no doubt be glad to , hear something
about the author, Mrs. Frances Trego Montgomery. V In the first place, It will interest everybody to know that Mrs. Montgomery Is a grandmother, although she does not look old enough for that. When her own children were
s,ttu.MONTGOMER young she wrote
a book about their adventures on a Wisconsin farm, entitled "Frances and the Irrepressibles at Buena Vista Farm." Not only her own children, but other kiddies have a place in the story. Now they have all grown to manhood and womanhood and have little ones of their own. Mrs. Montgomery's first stories
were spun for the delight of her own daughters and their playmates. Then "Billy Whiskers" came Into being. She jotted the tale down on paper and behold, other youngsters far from her knee heard of the wonderful goat. Many stories have now been written about him. And Mrs. Montgomery counts her young readers by the hundreds of thousands. Mrs. Montgomery Iove3 children. She would like nothing better than to take the kiddies of the Junior Palladium on her knee one by one and tell them stories to their hearts' content. But she can't do that. So she does the next best thing, and every week through the
Junior Palladium tells them a new story about Billy Whiskers and his family.

Once there was a hippopotamus, a very great eater, And one day he got mad at his keeper. While hippo was soundly sleeping The man was busily sweeping, And made so much dust That hippo thought it not just. So, in order to get even, When this man was sneezin', Hippo jumped up and down the floor And politely knocked down the big door, So he ran out of that big house As quietly as a little mouse, Bumped the man into some water, while sneezing ; Through the cold he began freezing. This made the man very mad. Took a whip after hippo, which made him feel sad ; Then hippo ran 'round and 'round, W'hich made this man nearly tear the ground. Then hippo ran into the cage door, W'hich ended the story for evermore.

THE BIOGRAPHY OF PETROLEUM retroleum and natural gas are found in western New York and Pennsylvania. "Petroleum" means rock oil. Petroleum and natural gas have been formed by the decay of animals and plants. Long ago, when water covered this country, the animals died and fell to the bottom of the sea and were buried deep in the earth. The gas and oil from the animals went between the sandstone and other rock. Oil resembling petroleumjs now made of fish. When they bore into the rock where the gas is stored it comes to the top and Is led away in pipes to cities. Many homes in Buffalo and Pittsburg are heated with gas. When they bore into the rock where the petroleum is found, they call them wells. The oil comes to the top but often has to be pumped out. Cities have grown up by the oil wells. Bradford and Oil City have grown up by the oil wells in Pennsylvania, and Orleans in New York. The oil is then put in tank3 to be refined. In its natural state it is a reddish yellowish brown. After Hie refining, a thick substance is left. It is made into dyes, vaseline, paraffin and machine oil. The paraffin is used for candles and chewing gum. Richard Noggie, Starr Platoon School.
