He was a young king and he had never married and

If she refused he would destroy all the land with his fiery breath, so she had to obey or the people would be killed. Only a brave man, fearless and true hearted could save her, also him must Khe marry. But King Zopo took her into his castle and sent for a great army of knights to guard the castle, but the dragon killed all the brave knights in one night and the king was ungry. .

TWO BOY SCOUTS

DISCOVER CUBS One day In June, John and Harry decided to go to the mountains. They lived in New York and as it was always so hot during the sum mer in the city they thought it would be nice to take this trip to get some of the good fresh moun tain air. So on the morning which they planned to go they arose early so as to catch the early tain. They saw many beautiful sights and much beautiful scenery- while on this trip. They got off the train at Denver, Colo. It was almost 5 o'clock when they arrived. They went to the hotel to get their supper and stay all night. The next day they started for the mountains. After they got to the top of the mountains they started to explore. While they were walking around on the side of the mountains Harry espied a large opening. "There is a large opening which looks like a cave," he said. John said, "Let's go in and see what is in it." So they went in and back in the cor ner they saw two large bright balls which looked like fire. Harry turned his flashlight on and saw it was a father bear and two little cubs. John shot the old bear, and they took the little cubs and. started out of the cave to go to their tent But just as they got out of the oave they saw the mother bear coming. She saw them taking her little ones and started towards them. They ran and tried to get away from them but they could not get away. John was going to shoot her but he did not have any shells. Then they let the little cubs down and climbed up a tree so the bear would not kill them. Then the mother bear took her cubs and went to the cave. The boys went to their tent and in a few days went home. Here they told their parents and friends and many other people about their trip and the cubs.

LITTLE STORIES from EARLHAM MUSEUM

Model of Ancient Hebrew Tabernacle Has Important Place Among Exhibits.

Grewn-Ups Make Toys And Calf Them Models You children who have your little airplanes and doll houses and trains and toy furniture know how very nice it is to see and to play with small things which are made as toys but which look very much like the big airplanes and houses and trains which people use. It is very Interesting to see little things which are made very carefully to look like big things. In the Earlham Museum there are many of these "toy" filings and people call them models. A Magnificent Old Tent. Near the platform where the skeleton of the elephant stands (looking almost expectant of visit ors), is a table where a little tent auite a fancy little tent is placed. This li'tle tent and all that Is around It inside of the gilded pil lars where a curtain is hung is built as nearly as possible like the wonderful tabernacle which was built in the wilderness of Asia Min or three or four thousand years ago by the Hebrews as they were going on their long journey from Egypt to Palestine under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. We may see the place where animals were killed as a sacrifice and the tower which was used In their religious ceremonies. Inside the tent are the seven branched candelabra, the place where incense was burned and the Ark of the Covenant. Other things used in their ceremonies are also inside the tent. The many coverings of the tent are made like the wonderful ones which we are told were used in that tabernacle in the wilderness. One is of silk embroidered richly, one of fine wool and the top one, of goat's skin, dyed a bright shade of blue. The Loveliest Building In All the World IHL. 1 - 1 B . i J , 1 f c i lie iinMifi vi niiuuier uuuuing ui j Asia, bulit many years later is also shown (upstairs) in the museum This is the famous Taj Mahal of India, said to be the most beautiful By Briggs

building in the world. The original is in marble, wonderfully carved and the interior of which is rich with jewels and carvings, fine mosaies and inlaid work. This "toy" Taj Mahal Is of alabastor and is carefully mado to look like the real building if we must call such a beautiful marble dream, a building. Animals of Long Arjo. To the north of the mastodon's skeleton in a cast just full of models of many kinds of huge reptiles which long, long ages ago used to live in North America. They look very small but they are just toy animals mado very, very much smaller than the real animals like which they are made to look. W can only imagine how big they are when we read their measurements which are told on these models. One of them, for Instance, the Diplodocus, the one with the real long tail could only have stood in the museum diagonally from corner to corner and would have been taller than the mastodon. The makers of these models made some very worthwhile toys indeed.

One-Reel Yarns 'Do a good turn dally' Is a mighty fine motto, George." "You bet it Is, Dad. I believe in following it I'll mail that letter." George's chest swelled slightly. In his new Scout uniform he was a fine-looking chap. On this Saturday morning he was unusually happy. The "Big Four" were going on their weekly fishing hike at the Upper Dam that afternoon. Autoistg in Trouble. It was fearfully hot when they set out at 1 o'clock. Two miles out of town they came upon a stranded auto, sweltering on the top of a sun-stricken hill. Two sweating gray-haired men were struggling with a punctured tire. Evidently they were having their troubles. "I think we'd better stop and help them," suggested Harry, the youngest of the Big Four. "You know our motto is 'Do a good turn daily.' " "Aw, forget it. If it was ladies stuck on the road, we would stop. But those old men can take care of themselves. I ain't going to stop. I did my good turn I mailed a letter for Dad this morning. Do you think I want to cook those fish?" Harry Stays Behind. It was a standing rule of the Big Four fishing hikes that the one who caught the least ftah had to clean and cook them. As he paid his penalty, the other three sat on a log, applauded his troubles, and encouraged him with good-natured taunts. It was a trying ordeal to a fellow of George's proud nature. "All right, go ahead. I'm not afraid to clean those fish." As the three crossed the next hill they looked back and saw a third dusty speck hovering around the distant auto. It was Harry at work. Who Cleans the Fish? They tramped on for five more hit, dusty miles and shortly after the three reached the Upper Dam. As they climbed down the bank they saw a Scout fishing. "Hey, get out," shouted George. . "What's that?" replied Harry, looking up. "See, I have five al ready." He held up five beautiful blue-gills. "Oh, that's all right," replied Harry, tranquilly pulling out num ber six. "It didn't take nnsr to ett J that tire fixed. Those men were good sports and drove me out here by the back road. You fellows better hurry up and get your lines in. I'm six ahead already." Boys' and Girls' Newspaper. Polar Eat Fish Polar bears are very fond of fish and fish oil and this food is given them when they are in circuses of 1 zoos or other such places far away from their natural home.
