the historian and the poet would tell it, Principal Heironimus; duet, Miss Rust and Miss Buckley; and a clown dance, given by a trained group of entertainers in bright costumes, who did not announce their names, but who were, we strongly suspect Misses Rust, Maple, Schweiger, Buckley, Crabb,

response to the long-continued applause, the dance was repeated, and, even then, many among the audience felt like saying what one little (real little) boy in the audience eagerly said: "Dance again!"

We Find a Luna Moth

wicked magic

out of their

"They called it a butterfly, but he was sure it never was," a little boy said once to Mrs. Gene Straton Porter as he brought her a

beautiful large moth, so we are

told in the book Mrs. Porter has written about these delicate, lovely little night creatures, which we are able sometimes to see during the months of May and June. Moths look much like large butterflies, but are very frail and exquisite in form and color. About this time of year these creatures come out from their little cocoon sleeping rooms where they have spent the winter, to live for a short time as moths. First, these creatures were caterpillars and then they spun their silky

cocoons and now, lovelier than J

princesses in fairy freed from some charm, they came

cocoons as moths. Just a few days ago, not very far from Dennis Junior ' High school, we were fortunate enough to find a Luna Moth, which seemed stunned and was lying on the

street. Luna means "moon," and

these mpths-are called "Moths of

the Moon." We picked it up and

let it lie at ease on a pocket book.

it was beautiful, Indeed, as large

as the palm of a grown-up person's hand, with a round, cocoon-like

body, white and furry. The slender

legs were purple. Its wings were

of an exquisite light green color;

the front pair, partly bordered

with a lovely purple shade, the

hack pair tapering down Into long, graceful "trailers." On both wings

were several eye-like dots of shell pink color In circles of white and black. Long, white silky hairs

were at the bases of the wings

and the little antennae looked like tiny "tan colored ferns." We put the moth on the grass, after awhile, In a shady place. Immediately It began to revive and to move around. Soon It gathered strength and flew away, having given a groat deal of pleasure

In to several peopl ty its loveliness.

The Young Engineer Bob was a young man of about nineteen yeara of age.

He had been taking an engineering course at school and thought he knew all about it One evening he went to tho yards, as they lived near them, and he caught sight of an engine with not many coaches. He saw more in the engineer box and he thought how nice it would be to run an engine and now was hia chance to experiment. It was such a temptation he couldn't resist it. So he ascended the steps and started tho engine. In a few minutes the train was going down the track. Bob saw a passenger train coming on another track, but Bob thought It was on the same track. After it was gone Bob commenced to get nervous. He thought an accident might occur and they might punish him. He thought he'd stop it He started to pull on the breaks but he had forgotten how. He didn't know what to do. His face was white and pale. He happened to look out and about half a mile ahead he saw a red flag. He knew it meant danger but couldn't Btop the train. He hollowed "help!" There, happened to be a fireman on the next coach asleep, and when Bob called help it aroused the fireman. The fireman wondered what waa wrong with the engineer. He got up and went sleepily into the engineer's box and to his surprise he saw another man In his place. He rubbed his eyes over and over. Bob was unconscious of the fact that the fireman was there until he started to call for help again and he was startled he almost forgot

stories when about the red flag.

He came to himself and showed the fireman the red flag about one quarter of a mile and luckily the fireman knew which were the brakes and pulled them on as hard as possible. The train stopped on the spot where the red flag was and they got out to see what was wrong. To their astonishment they had stopped on a high embankment of a river and the bridge had already fallen In. Bob got out of trouble and la later years was a good engineer.
