THE TUG BOAT'S BIG DAY
All day long the tug boat puffed up and down the river, dragging behind it great, ugly coal barges to the docks at the steel mills. All day long it was fed by grimy-faced men in faded, greasy overalls, who grew angry because it couldn't go faster. The tug boat used to look wistfully at the trim yachts that glided by it so gracefully, at the gleaming sail boats that dipped in the breeze, and at the proud motorboats that threw aside tlie spray, It sighed when it saw the men in white ducks and the ladies In light-colored frocks on the decks of the more fortunate bo,ats. Especially on hot, days it envied the gay little awning-covered steamers, while it chugged down the river under the blazing sun, wheezing painl'u''y. Its lil'o was the same, day after day. In the evening, when it lay in its moorings, rocked by the kindly waves, it wished a board in its side would crack, so that the water rushing in would sink it, and that would be the end. Then, one morning, instead of being started to work at Its usual

.IRS. GRIFFIS TELLS LIBRARY STORIES Since grownups are talking a good deal this wek about saving money, and spending it wisely, Mrs. Griffis found some stories for children, ever so nice stories, on the same subject. And since being . thrifty with money is a first cousin to neatness, she found some stories about that, too. On Saturday afternoon, Jan. 21, Mrs. Griffis planned to tell the following stories: "The Child Who Forgot to Wash His Face," "Dust Under the Rug," and "Espaminandus." Stories will be told next Saturday, Jan. 28, by Miss Mary Nicholson. HAVE YOU BOUGHT ANY POSTAL SAVINGS STAMPS? New postal ' savings stamps, which may be bought for ten cents each, are now on sale at the Richmond post office. They take the place of our old friends, the Saving In little 6ums is a good way to begin saving. Just as, when marble, time conies, if you should begin putting into your marble sack a "pedad" each day and sometimes a "shooter" you would in a few weeks find yourself the possessor of quite a bag of marbles. So, if you buy one of these stamps, or two or three, a week, by the end of a year you will find you have saved quite a nice little amount of money. early hour, it was left in the moorings while the crew scrubbed it as it had never been scrubbed before. Many, many boats were moving all about. Their wThistles made an endles din. The tugv boat heard the men who were working on It saying something about "the exposition." It wondered what it was all about. As soon as it had been cleaned up, the men brought garlands of flowers and yards of crepe paper streamers with which they dec orated the startled little boat. It looked at its reflection in the water and was so proud it thought Its boiler would burst. Along came a man In a little motorboat, and the boat heard him call to the crew through his megaphone. "Get your boat in line in Lthe front of the procession. Here's a sign lor it." He threw over a big canvas sign on which was printed, "Industrial Exposition. This boat Is One Reason for Our City's Growth." And soon the old boat was chugging proudly at head of a water, parade.
JUNIOR BOYS WILL HAVE HARE -HOUND RAGE JANUARY 27
Boys of Troop 5 of Boy Scouts will act as hares in an English hare and hound race, darting away from the Y. M. C. A. at 9:30 the morning of Friday, Jan. 27, which will be a holiday for many school boys of the city. They will drop bits of paper along the way to show the hounds, if they have sharp eyes, the direction they have taken. At 10 o'clock the hounds will be let loose from the "Y." Any boy in the city from 11 to 14 years of age may be a hound and join In the chase, which will last until 2 o'clock. Each boy Mill carry his lunch, which will consist of wieners and buns. After the hares have been surrounded (if they are!) all boys taking part in the race will return to the "Y" for a swim. Boys' Secretary Wilson is planning the race. A CHAT WITH Did you ever wash windows Most of us have. But, did you ever wash windows that were fifteen stories above Mother Earth, while all that kept you from a swift fall to a final vesting place was a thick leather belt, to which was fastened a pair of ropes, and these in turn fastened to a rather frail-looking pair of bolts in the window frame, and the whole contraption rather inclined to look as if it might slip or break or do all sorts of things like that? Jack Shey has. And in his capacity of head janitor "of the new, towering Wrigley building on Michigan boulevard and the Chicago river, Chicago, he often has to threaten window washers with immediate dismissal to make them wear the safety belts. Pleasant Pastime It seems that to jump from window to window between washes, to save the trouble of climbing into the building and out through the proper window, is an old-time win dow washer's idea of a pleasant pastime. "Dangerous?" queried Mr. Shey. "Well, maybe it is, at that. Once, several years ago, a window washer friend of mine slipped and fell from -the ninth floor, and was killed. He was working on the old Rookery building here In Chicago and they had iron frames fastened to one side of the window, which unfolded. And there was a place to lay a plank and stand on it while you washed the window.' My friend was in a hurry, so he didn't trouble to lay out the plank, but just stood on the iron supports. He slipped and after that he didn't wash any windows." "Don't you get dizzy, working at
SUERVISORS GUESTS AT FINLEY EXHIBIT
The children of the sixth grade of Finley school held an exhibition of Miss Upjohn's pictures. The exhibit opened Thursday, Jan. 19, at 2:30 p. m. Invitations were sent to all the supervisors, ''Mr. Bate and 6A Hibberd school. The pictures were cut from the Junior Red Cross Magazine, mounted on grey paper and the names printed below.

Two Thin Ropes Save Him from Death, "But," Says He, "That's the Sport of Window Washing." such a shivery height as this fifteenth floor?" "No, sure not ; I don't look down. But about getting dizzy, why you just climb out and see for your self." and Mr. .Shey opened the window. "Hold onto the window and be careful about slipping," was his warning, as the writer climbed out. The ledge was icy. There was an interval of fifteen floors between that ledge and the ground below. 'Way down there was the icy Chicago river, and beside it a little toy engine pulling a string . of toy freight cars on a miniature railway system. Straight ahead, the smoke of the city gathered ia bunches about the top3 of neighboring buildings. Suddenly things began to reel before the writer's eyes, and dizzily he clambered back into the building and at on the floor, "just to be safe." A Peculiarity Jack laughed. "Oh, you'd get used to it in a few days, and then you wouldn't mind it at. all. It's like any other job we have a lot of work to do and there isn't much thrill. " j "It's funny about window washers, though," continued Mr. Shey. "You see, they work in pairs, one man taking the outside of the win-

Worth Dennis school, located at the corner of West Seventh street and Teacock road. Although the outside of the building has not been entirely completed, it is expected that the school will be ail ready to receive its students for work at the opening of the new semester. This new building is one of th best built "and most eompletety equipped junior high schools. For some lime both the Garfir Junior High school and the Sen Q High school have been very muou overcrowded and the opening of this new school will relieve both schools for the ninth grade, which is considered in most places as ;v junior high school grade, will become part of the junior school. Much space has been given to the elective work, such as cooking, sewing, metal work, machine shop work forging, gymnasium and drawing work. These rooms havo been carefully planned and splendidly equipped, as have been the science laboratories. The many clas-rooms are located in the central part of the building and will acommodate from SO to 35 pupils each. Richmond is proud and glad to welcome this new school into her group of school buildings, which she probably thinks (or, her citizens do for her) are as important as any buildings she has. HONORABLE MENTION We wish to thank the following juniors for sending in contributions which, however, on account of either the subject matter or the way they were written, we are sorry to say we are unable to use, but we .hope they will try " again soon : ' Kathryn Hadley, grade 4, St. Andrew's school; Josie Spotts, grade 4, White school; and two, who signed their initials only, D. I. D. and A. M. C. f dow and the' other the inside. You'd think the boss would take the insilde, it being safer. But, no! The boss of the two always takes the outside. It's easier. He doe3 not have to be afraid of spilling, water on a new carpet, or something." And, besides Mhat, maybe the man on the outside considers himself superior to the man on the inside. . Anyhow, it takes more nerve! My Dog Teddy The little dog of my story is named Teddy. His master got him at Pipe's Lake when he was six weeks old. He Is an Airedale rat terrier. v When he is hungry or wants to sit on your lap, he will sit up. He can walk on his hind feet. When I play the Victrola he will dance for me. He doesn't like the milk man and every time he gets a chance ho bites at his heels. I whip him for it, but it doesn't do any good. If you tease him while he i3 eating, he will snap at you. If you ask him if he wants a bath it makes him mad and he tries to hide. - He seems to understand what you say to him. I am very fond of him, and can hardly wait until summer, so I can play out. doors with him. Dorothy Chew, grade. 5B, Vaile school.. , Oldest Church in U. S.
