"Tricks?' said Billy in surprise. "I never heard of them. What are they?" when Dandy, the pony, stopped talking. . . "Oh, you'll find out," said Dandy. "I can do a few of them myself. I can waltz on my hind legs, and stand on my head, and roll a bar rel, and now I'm learning to stand on a globe and roll It backwards and forwards." Mv. but you are smart!' 'said . Billy. "And does he ever whip you if you don't do them right?" Dandy laughed and tossed his dead. "No, indeed!' 'said he. "Bobby never had a whip In his hand. TWO CHILDREN WHO DISOBEYED THEIR MOTHER Once there was a little boy and girl. The boy's name was John and the girl's name wa3 Alice. Now, one day Mrs. Smith, which was their mother's name, said ' to Alice, "You go knit on your new sweater So, Alice went and she played like she was knitting, but she wasn't at all. Her mother said to John, "While Alice' Is knitting, you go to the store." John said, "I am tired, but I'll go anyway." - He went in the room where his sister was and said, "Oh, don't knit. Sister; let's go out doors and play." So, she went. A half hour later her mother callend, and no one came, so she said, "I need those groceries very much". Well, she went out doors. She wanted to see if John was coming, and she saw a tent made out of rugs and she looked in the vtent and saw the two little children playing house. She said to Alice, "I thought you were knitting on your sweater." Alice replied, "Oh, mother, I was so tired and I didn't want to." Mrs. Smith said. "Then why did you tell me a lie?" i And then she said to John, "How will I get dinner without anything in the house? You run down to the grocery' Id a hurry; it's nearly dinner time and when Father comes home I will not have dinner ready! Hurry do you hear?" "Oh, Mother, may I go?',' asked Alice. "Yes, If you hurry, and don't play on the way, or when you come back I'll send you to bed without any dinner. So, they started off and they met a little boy crying, and they asked him what was the matter and he said, "I lost my dog." And Alice said, "You know that Mother said for us to hurry." "Oh, I don't care," said John; "I don't want to see this boy cry." He hollered so loud that a large crowd came around but no one could understand what he said, because he was crying so hard. After awhile Mrs. Smith said, "I wonder where they went" The soon came back and said, "We forgot what to get, Mother." They were punished, and they were very hungry when they ate supper. - They ate and ate, and, that taught them a lesson, Virginia Sonsini, age 10, Whitewater 'school. .

We're all of us glad to do anything he tells us. "If you know how. stupid! croaked a new voice, and Billy looked up to see a tame black crow sittine in the window, "Stupid yourself, Tarwings," said the pony, but it was in a friendly tone. "You must have good times here," said Billy, sighing as he thought of all the places of trouble he had seen in his travels. "We do," replied , Dandy. "Of course, It isn't all play. Now I just came in from hoeing corn "You mean that Bohby hoed the corn while you pulled the hoe," croaked the crow. ."Don't mind what he says, Mr. Goat He'll make you think that he does it all around here," and then, laughing hoarsely, the crow flapped his wings and flew away. Dandy laughed heartily. "He thinks he's a great mischief maker, but nobody gets angry at what he says. He doesn't mean a bit of harm by it" Just then Bohby came in with a pail of warm mash for Billy. The goat hardly knew whether he liked it at the first taste, but as he ate more of it and felt it warming him up inside, he began to realize how good it was, and after he had eaten all that Bobby thought it wise for him to have just then, he lay very contentedly and lazy while Bobby rubbed Dandy's coat with a cloth. Later in the evening, a pretty, little red and white cow came into Lilt? uaui auu milieu iuiu uei otaii beside Dandy's. She was properly the barn and turned into her stall introduced to Billy ,and the crow made so much fun of their politeness that he laughed until he fell out of the window, where he lay on the hay with his legs sticking up until he was quite through cackling. "Yes, I heard all about your case," said Tiny, the cow. "King came out in the pasture to tell me about it. You were very unfortunate to have broken your leg in the accident, but after all, you were very lucky that you got to come here, where nobody ever even gets cross."

Digging for Coal 62 Feet Below Ground

Dear Aunt Tolly: I thought you might, be interested in hearing of one of the mines In Pennsylvania. I received a letter from a cousin Alice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Marshall. They lived near Modoc bofore moving to Pennsylvania. A mine is 62 feet under their farm. The latter follows: "There is a cage (It is something like an elevator) which they let you up and down on. It is about fifty feet deep. There is a sort of hall called an entry with rooms off at the sides. "Each digger has a room. It is dark and they have to wear carbide lamps on their caps. They undermine the coal as far back as they can reach, then they drill a hole In the coal about three feet deep, put in powder and light it. That knocks down a lot of coal, "They have wooden cars which. hold ten hundred pounds. They fill these cars and run them on a track through the entry to the cage then they tap on an iron- pipe with a piece of iron or something, and a man in the boiler house then hoists it up to a platform about twenty-five feet above the ground. From this they dump the coal into a chute, then men come in wagons or trucks and haul it away. Your cousin, "ALICE MARSHALL." P. S. I enjoy reading the Jun ior very much. We live near the pumping station, in summer we . . , P swimming every day. We attend school at District No. 14, and our teacher is Mrs. Mary Henning. We think she Is a fine ROBERT PAUL CONLEY. Dear Robert: (or Is It Paul?) How fine it is to live where you can go in swimming every ..day! Your letter is very interesting, indeed. Aunt Polly.

"MISS JIM" DRESSES UP

"You must at least try to look like a lady, Jim," Hazel insisted. "We all want to make a good impression, and what will he think of you if you look like a hoodlum? You can wear my cream-colored net dress." "I'm too tanned," protested Jim, whose real-for-Bure name was Har-j net jeines. "Very well," put in Pamela somewhat coldly, "why don't you wear overalls?" "That's a good idea,' 'said Jim. Then she smiled. "I'll take your dress, Hazel. I'll be good and dress like a sawdust doll for once." Mr. Stillson, the explorer, an old friend of one of the teachers, was coming to Valley View school, and the girls had talked for days of nothing but his visit and what they would wear. Thas is, all the girls except Jim, who, before coining to the school, had been her father's pal on his big ranch, and found it i hard to be like other girls. So Jim struggled into the party dress, and she was still trying to brush down her wiry bobbed hair
