She Jumped up and ran to the door to see what wag the matter. . : "What is the matter?" she cried. "Some one stopped and took Martha with them,' 'was the answer. The mother was bo excited she hardly knew what to do. It was In a very small village whero they lived, and the mother emu ia Alice ana Miiarea, i am going to lock you up In the house Dy yourselves, and go look for Martha. So she locked the two small, children in the house; one of them was one year old, and another was three years old, and their older sister, Martha, was five- years old. The mother went all over town to see if she could find her daughter, but every one said they had seen the man, but could not stop him and Set the child. After awhile she grew so tired, she could hardly stand up, so she went home. That evening, after her husband came home from work ihe told him about it; but It was not safe for any one to start out after night, so they had to spend a very sad and lonesome night with out their daughter. The next morning they got up bright and early, and the father started out on the look-out for their daughter. He hunted all day, and at last, about four o'clock in the evening, he stopped at a house. He asked if they had seen the man. They said that a man sat down to rest, out along the road in front of their house. The child with him got looso and ran to the house, and she was still there. They called to her to come. She came to the door and saw her father, and ran to him. The father and the child got home about five o'clock, and the mother and sisters were glad to see her. That evening, the mother fixed a bowl of soup for their supper. She took them out on the front steps to give it to them. She fed them out of a wooden spoon. These children .wore wooden shoes and were dressed very oddly. After their mother had given them their supper, they went to bed. The, next morning they got up very happy, and always after that they lived a happy life. Doris Fouts grado 6, Modoc, Ind. NOW, HENRY! BE A, REAL GOOD LITTLE CAR AND GET ' . RIGHT INTO THAT BATH .

Visitors From Kansas Relate Interesting Tales Dear juniors: ; My great aunt and uncle, Mr, and Mrs. Charles Wood, of James town, Kans., are visiting here for a few weeks. They have some interesting things to put in our Junior Palladium for this week. Near Gelnelder, Kans., there is a bluff about fifty feet high. It is very round, being about 300 feet around. On the top of this bluff there is a large spring and it is close to 100 feet around. The tide rises and falls, the same as that of the ocean. The depth is unknown. The Indians used to call it the Great Spirit Springs, but now it is called the Wyconda springs. Its water is good for many ailments, especially rheumatism. People used to go there in the early days and claim they found beads in these springs, supposing the Indians had put them there. The water is very clear and is quite salty and bitter. There is a fine health resort at this place, and many people go there for their health. They have bathing pools there. The sides of this bluff resemble the great rocks along the ocean. Another interesting feature of the west is the coyotes. These animals become very bold. A short j time ago a coyote came and killed a chicken right in the yard. One coyote can make a great noise, barking. They are something similar to a wolf. People can hear them howling at night when they are in bed. The coyotes are very harmless. They will not hurt people. Loretta Kittle, 5A, reporter for Starr school. Camp Fire When we went camping we made a fire to cook on. We had an old stovo which can't be used, so we took the broiler out of it, and then took some bricks and laid the broiler on them, and built our fire under it. We never built a very big fire and we never left it. Papa went fishing and Mother and I stayed at the tent until the fire went out. We left it a few times when there wan a very small flame blazing.

. The Book Shelf

'Know your own country first," is a mighty good slogan. We, of America are having distinguished foreign visitors these days. They tell us our National parks equal their beauty spots. They come to study our people and our ways. Recently I read a pamphlet, written by an Australian on conditions in our own country, that amazed me. That outsider could tell me a great deal about my country. That Incident has prompted me to give you a list of books that are In our library, and tell of America, and American ways. They are not histories, but good novels and short stories and essays: The Crossing," Wtnston Churchill Lost of the Mohicans," Jamel Fenlmore Cooper. "The Hoosler Schoolmaster," Edward Eggleston, "The Sketch Brink" Wnahlnirtnn Irving. "Luck of Roaring Camp," Bret Ilarte. "Man Without a Country," Edward Everett Hale. 'Tom Sawyer," Mark Twain. Wheat Field Modeled At Sevastopol School Children of the IB grade. Sevas topol school, have made a nice little farm on the lockers and sand table. The farm house nnrf hnrn j are grey with green roofs. Near the house is an orchard, with little rea appies lying under the trees. Next, comes the pasture, where the paper cows and horses eat paper grass, and don't care a bit! In the corn field are corn shocks and yellow pumpkins. In the sand table is a real field, with growing wheat six inches high. And the little red hen is saying, "Who will cut thjs wheat?" The second grade children have exhibits of England, Scotland, and America. In England they have the people, houses, and trees. In one corner there is a man being punished in a stock. The way they punish them is to put their arms in holes in a big board. The two boards are pushed together and the prisoners can not move. Tho English did not like this, so they went to Holland. The children did not speak good English there, so they came to America. Then in America there were Indians, Indian tents, and the forts for the English who had come over. Ada Van Voorhis. reporter for Sevastopol. News From St. John's The sixth grade" of St. John's' have been writing about strange dwellings they know of. Two of 'hern are given here. The Strange Dwelling Between Dayton and New. Lebanon, Ohio there i3 a strange house. A soldier got the idea in France.The house is made of stone. The house barn, garage, and all, are in one. The house has twelve rooms . u ii a aoout 200 feet long and 75 feet wide. There is a long drive In front of the house. It is very Pretty. HAROLD W'IBKER. Story of a Peculiar Dwelling .The strangest dwelling that I know of, is my mother's home in Germany. It is, a frame house and barn combined. There were three luuuis in wntcn they lived. There were two bedrooms, and a large kitchen, which was also used for a dining room and parlor. Behind these rooms was one big room which divided the living room from the barn. The barn was also divided into three parts, as a stable for the cows, horses, and a laundry room. The entire second floor was used for a hay-mow. The whole house was a whitish gray. It is not so funny for a German to see ncti a house; but it would seem funny ua, HELEN NORDSIEK. By Dor&tLr. Bode, reporter for St. John's school. Baxter P.-T. A.
