year I had to make up a poem for
language, which will come in this
letter.
"The Laughing Brook."
Dancing gracefully o’er the rocks,
And when playing never stops,
Making pretty wayside curves.
Through the reeds again it serves.
Looking at the pretty sky.
And the birdies flying by.
Leaping, laughing In its play,
Swerving past the mound of hay.
Gliding by the meadow edge.
Babbling over pebbly beds.
Slipping, laughing in its play
Never stopping; all the day.

my age will write to me.—Your Go

How Jane Got a Go-Hawk Hatton.
Dear Happy: This is the first let
ter to your page. I will enclose a

One day when Jane was walking
in the woods she heard a bullet
whizz by past her face. She walked
a little way further and she saw
a squirrel just about dead from a
bullet wound. She took it home
and fed it and bathed the wound
every day. About two weeks later a
man happened to see her playing
with it and asked her where she
got it. She told him about the
day when someone had shot It in
the woods. He then pulled a but
ton out of his pocket and handed
it to Jane. She asked him what it
was for and he said: "You have
been very kind to rhe squirrel and
that is why I gave you the Go
Hawk button.—I.yle Johnson, Age

Dotty and I.
Dear Happy: Here is a poem I
made up myself:
When Dolly and I went out to
day. I thought it was going to
rain
But when I was out about half a
mile, I Just thought I'd better
go back
So I trotted back home.
But l\efore I was back home the
sun came out
And Just shone and shone.
So I trotted one mile ahead of me.

Mother Cat and Peanuts.
Once u|>on a time there were two
cats. The mother cat had a coat
of three colors, orange, black and

coat, but a little more white in it.
His name 1* Peanuts. When we sit
down the little one Jumps at you,
sticks his little claws in the chair
and climbs up. When hia mother is
lying down, Peanuts will Jump at
her and when she goes to cateb
him he runs away. She fights him,
too. and he cries. When we roll the
ball to Peanuts he spits at it. When
we roll it to his mother she rolls
over and holds it in her claws. Pea
nuts will run and hide when the
ball scares him. I wish some Go
Hawks would write to me.—Alfred

Kindness Helped.
One day a boy whose name was
Robert passed by the street and
saw n group of boys with a small
object in the middle at which they
were Jeering and malting fun.
He made his way through the
crowd and saw a small boy crying.
He was ragged and dirty and Rob
ert thought at once he must he an
orphan.
He took the little fellow and led
him out. He then told the boys
that it was wrong to laugh and
make fun of anybody.
He showed them his Go-Hawk pin
and told them about the Go-Hawks'
Happy Tribe. Some of the older .
boys went away laughing and
others promised they would join the
tribe and he Go-Hawks.
Robert asked the boy his name
and he said it was Jean and that
his folks were dead and he lived
with a mean old woman who
whipped him because he did not
sell enough papers to earn his liv
ing, so he decided to run away.
He soon met these boys. Robert
took him home with him and told
his folks. They adopted him and
he joined the Go-Hawka' Happy
Tribe. Soon the boys became like
brothers and always lived happily
together.
I wish some of the Go-Hawks
would w rite to me. I will gladly an
swer them.—Elva Case, age 13.

to Ruth: "Bet’s go for a walk."
While they were walking they
saw some boys tying a tin can on

boys and said:
"Please take that tin can off
that dog's tail.” The boys asked
her why. She said:
'Because I'm a Go Hawk and can
not bear to see you tying that tin
can on that poor dog's tail."

dog's tall and joined the Hpppy
