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

How Betty Got a Home.
Betty was a little girl who was
6 years old. Her mother and father
were dead.
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

Wishing.
I was wishing tor sunshine
When the day was dark and wet,
Hut if wishing hanged the weather.
What tangle we might get.
I was wishing that my lessons
Were all done and put away,
When I might as well been work
ing
Then I'd had some time for play.
1 was -wishing that by wishing
Things would happen as I
planned,
That winter was the summer
With vacation time at hand!
That 1 had a great big fortune
And a wonderful estate.
Then I had to pay for wishing
By sitting up quite late.

THE SINKING DELL
OUR PICNIC.
By HAPPY
O' lTH Sunday school will have a plenty soon
In woods where many trees and flowers grow.
Our teacher says If we are extra good.
Then surely ev'ry one of us may go.
Must likely there will be a great big tub
Of lemonade for thirsty girls and boys.
And baskets full of things you like to eat—
No one will care if children make a noise.
.'ust three days more till time for us to start!
I'm off to bed, to wake and find it two.
What fun if picnics grew like leaves on trees—
It would not seem so long before they came to you.
Vnd all the children who nre living near
Have asked to go to Sunday school with me;
They had their picnic long ago in June,
So now, nt ours, of course, they want to be.
For we'll have games and trees Just right to climb,
And parents who will smile nt us and say.
"Dear little children, bless their happy hearts.
Our picnic gives them such a Jolly day.”
The Circus Parade.
Dear Happy: I was very glad to
see my poem In print and got the
prize. 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.
I would like to know if anybody

How pleasant the life of a bird must

Flitting about in each leafy tree.
The Hear.
Dear Happy: I will write you a
little" story.
Once u*pon a time two men went
out to hunt a bear. On their way to
the woods they were talking and
planning what to do with the
money after they sold Ida skin All
of a sudden they saw the bear,
and one of the men climbed in
a tree and the other lay on the
ground as if he were dead. 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?"
"He said ‘don’t sell the bearskin
before you have killed the bear.

Bravo!
Bravo was a small girl about the
age of 5. She was a good Go-Hawk
and lived In a small house. Her
mother wag sick and could not do
the wjirk. so she had to do the
work.
One day she went to the woods
to get wood. She saw some In
dians coming far ahead of her. She
ran as fast as she could go and
told her mother about them. She
sprang from the bed and called for
help. Six men came and captured
the Indians and took their ammu
nition away from them and let
them keep their guns.
They were going to kill the In
dians. but Bravo, the Go-Hawk,
said
'If I would have known you wert
going to kill them I would not
have told you about them.”
The men felt sorry because they
were going to do such a terrible
thing and sent the Indians to their
own country
After that Bravo wan always
called "Bravo, the true Go-Hawk.”

Polly Heroine* a Go Hawk.
Dear Happy: This is my second
letter to you. I received my but
ton and am very proud of it. This
is my first story to you. The title
of it is "Polly Becomes a Go
Hawk.”
One day Polly was playing in her
swing. No one liked her because
she was so selfish.
One day a very poor girl came
over to play. Polly asked:
"What makes you so happy,
Mary?”
Mary said: "Oh. I've been hap
py ever since I became a Go
Hawk."
"If wliat you say is true, I think
I will become a Go-Hawk.” said
Polly.
Polly became a Go-Hawk and
obeyed the Go-Hawk rules. After
this she was selfish no more and
all the people loved her. Many chil
dren learned the same lesson as
Polly did—Yours truly, Marcella
