He is just nine. years old and as yet he can not speak very much English, but he has learned to count up to nine. He still dresses in the Neapolitican garb, which is composed of very tight trousers, a full blouse, and a little cap, somewhat like scull caps. At first, Nicholas was afraid to come, over to the playgrounds, for he was frightened by the different sorts of playground equipment. However, he soon- grew less fearful and now isn't at all afraid. The other boys are trying to teachNhim how to play baseball, and Nicholas just couldn't for the "sake of his life" understand what an out was. Nicholas likes America very much. Before he came here, he used to go to school in Naples, and was in the third grade. One morning, when Miss Grabble was raising the flag, and the children took off their hats, little Nicholas went up to the flag and kissed it to prove his loyalty to it as his father had taught him.

There is a funny little lizard that comes into my tent and is quite tame now; he Jumps about like a little frog and puffs his throat out.

''Darling Quentin: When we shifted camp we came down here and found a funny little wooden shanty, put up by some people who now and then come out here and sleep in it when theyjlsh or shoot. The only living thing around it was a pussy cat. She was most friendly and pleasant, and we found that she had been living here for two years. When people were in the neighborhood, she would take what scraps she could get, but the rest of the time she would catch her owa game for herself. ' She. was prefcy thin when we came, and has already fattened visibly. She was not in the least disconcerted by the appearance cf the hounds, and none of them paid the slightest attention to her when she wandered about among ' them. We are camped on the edge- of a lake. This morning before breakfast I had a good swim in it, the water being warmer than the air, and this evening I rowed on it in the moonlight.

Payton Interested v Fifth Bible Grade The fifth grade of the Biblo school of which Miss Stafford was teacheri studied the life of John Gibson Payton, one of the early missionaries to the South Pacific Isles. The students found it so very interesting that some of them even wanted to stay in from recess to hear more about him. Payton was really the one who introduced missionary work Into the Isle of Tanna., When he went -there he was handicapped "on every side as he had lp build hi ' own house and even tools with' which he made it, though now the missionaries, have their houses ready for them when they arrive. Besides, the inhabitants of Tanna were all canibals, and often he would see a native devour one of his own race in front of his own door. Finally things got to be so bad that Payton had to escape from the island secretely, otherwise his life would have been lost. From Tanna, Payton went to Australia where he finally secured a mission ship, which, took food anjl clothing to people on different islands. After during this, he wV")it to Aniwa where he spent the remainder of his life. For a little v while, he had some trouble with the natives, as they became very much prejudiced against the whito man. This was due to the fact s that French traders and seamen would often come to the islands and treat the natives cruelly. Once, they brought a whole shipload of people who had the measles and deposited them on thf island, thus exposing the people to the disease. The natives, who thought that the "doings of white men" were tho same, became more bitter against Payton than ever, but' he shewed them a diffe'rence by his kindness to them. , Civilized people considered the people of these islands as beasts, because beasts were distinguished , from men as. having no spiritual guidance at all, but Payton provenl that they did have although it had been kept a secret. The natives really worshipped idols, but they had done it secretly as sometime in their history they had been laughed at by white pe ople. It In very interesting to know that now Tanna is eiuite civilized and Payton's efforts brought results.
