AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Good Evening, Juniors: I was reading a little verse about "smoke plumes" the other day, telling how they tumbled out of people's chimneys and sometimes went straight up into the air and then the verse ended this way: "And then at times they sink straight down Among the houses of ihe town As if they'd rather be by far, Down on the ground where people arc." I liked that little verse, and I like the smoke plumes for liking to be with people, even though they do make our homes sooty. Sometimes we hear about people wanting to go some place "away from everybody," do we not? It i3 true that sometimes when folks get sick or tired perhaps, they are better away from other people, but it does not seem to me that they can really be happier very long by themselves, even if they are in some little place which has been all beautifully furnished by Nature. What is the fun of having a new playhouse if the little girl next door cannot bring over her family of dolls and visit you, and how can one use a nice new baseball all by himself? One time when Prof. William Lyon Phelps, of Yale university, was speaking in Chautauqua here he said in his vigorous way, something like this (I do not remember his exact words): Let those who wish, choose some far-off retreat and live there, but for myself, give me the cities, with all their hum and smoke and industry, and let me live where there are crowds of people. Are people interesting to us? Are we interesting to them? Do you like very much to play and work with other boys and girls? Of course we quarrel sometimes, and we have to divide our playthings and share our cookies, but after all it is much more fun to be with people than to play or work alone, isn't It? Because we are interested in other boys and girls and grownups In other states and in other countries, we are going to have a special little news column in our Junior which will tell us what people are doing who live near to, or far away from us. From one who is very glad that she has such "crowds" of nephews and nieces. AUNT POLLY.

JOHN AND A BEAR Once there was a little boy. His name was John. He wanted a gun, real, real bad. His father bald: "When you are ten, you may have one." The little boy was nine. Well, he thought the year would never be up, but finally he was ten and on his birthday he got the gun. He was glad. Of course he wanted to make use of his gun so he was going out in the woods that afternoon. He was walking along and he heard some rustling behind him. He looked around and there was a bear. He quickly climbed a tree so he could get a good aim and killed the bear. He took it home. His mother cooked some for supper. They had a good Bupper, too. They had meat for supper every night that week. Gracia Dickson, Grade G-B, Joseph Moore School
