Saving the Itog. One day Johnny and his friend Jimmy thought that it would be nice If they would take their lunch and go into the woods to eat it and so they had their mother's prepare a nice lunch. They started on their journey, but had not gone far into the woods when they heard a loud noise. They ■topped and listened to see which way it came from and then start ed on the run to the place from where it came. When they reached the place they found a poor little dog caught in n^^kp The trap had been placed by some men because they wanted to try to catch a wolf. They took the little dog out of the trap as carefully ns they could and when lunch time came they gave the little dog some of their lunch. They took the little dog home with them and as they both loved animals so well they could not de cide which one should have it. Finally they decided to let Jimmy keep it for a week and then let Johnny keep it for a week and you may be sure that the little dog had good care.—Kathryn Sell horn, Age IS, Worth Bend, Neb, Wants to Join.

Now little Betty was left alone to go on through the world. She had to make her own living. How was a poor Innocent little child to make her own living? She wandered from house to house and asked for a crumb of bread. Everyone seemed to push her-away and tell her to go home where she belonged. This made her cry. A little girl by the name of Marcella came by this house and beard someone crying. She went to the little girl, and asked her what was her trouble. Then Betty answered. ‘‘I would like to have a home." When Marcella beard this it made her cry to think of a little girl wandering around without hav ing a home. She took Betty home with her and asked her mother if she couldn't keep Betty for her sister. Her mother said: "Yes, she may stay with us and be our little helper.” Betty enjoyed her new home very much and always helped Marcella with the work. I think it was very nice of Mar (flla and her mother to keep Betty as their child, don't you?—Irene Both, aged 13, 1163 Twentyiirst avenue, Columbus, Neb. Wishing.

I am sending another poem taht I composed, to you: THE CIRCUS PARADE. 'Twas the circus day parade And the children stopped their play. As the elephants and bears come marching by. And the children shouted loud In the midst of the large crowd. For the clown was riding by upon a mule. Then all the people laughed, For the clown made lots of chaff— He tried to ride a mule and stand _ upon his head. Rut he lost his balance and fell feet over head. Then coming down the street Was a bear in awful rage, Because he couldn't get out of lii» iron cage. And the band was playing loud, For the people in the crowd Were marching right along and keeping time. Then there came an awful crash, And the old bandwagon splashed. For it bumjied into a railing on the street. y Then they picked up the remain, And they started for the train. For they never had a circus all that dav.

The bear came and sniffed all around the one that lay on the ground and especially around his ears. When the bear was gone the man in the tree said to the man that lay on the ground: "What did the bear say to you?"
