BfIME BOEPOY’S Louisa A’hmuty Nash. I tell you why he’s sitting there, Like a real grown person in a chair? This is Pat, and he’s Mike Murphy’s friend— You’ll think so too, when we reach the end. Twas daytime, but Mike was sound asleep, For at work all night he’d had to keep: So he did not know when his house caught fire, Nor see the flames mount high and higher. Such smoke and flames! Pat saw it all: First, with a bark, he tried to call. Mike wouldn’t wake! So Pat looked ’round, To a window high above the ground. He climbed od a roof of a shed near by— He knew his good master must wake or die; Through the window he jumped, as quick as thought, And as quick, by the arm his master caught! And he shook, and shook, with all his might, Till at last, Mike Murphy awoke in fright; Then up he jumped, and quickly turned To the room in which the fire burned. To the well he ran and the water pumped, While Pat looked on and frisked and jumped. The dog was glad, and old Mike’s breath Came fast as he said: “I was nigh to death!” For Woman’s Work. I AM going to tell you about a toot ball game. The game was played in Mill Valley. The two teams that played were the Spartans and the Smilers. The game started at two thirty in the afternoon. Lur.quist made a nice kick. Dougherty got the ball and started to run. “Get him, Brown!” was heard from all over the field. He did get him, too, for he made a nice tackle. Bugg, playing center for the Smilers, jjassed the ball to Barber. He tried to get Foot Ball. through, but could not; he tried tw:ce more, but still failed. “Three downs; Spartans’ ball,” said the umpire. Lockwood, playing center for the Spar tans, passed the ball to Brown. They gain ed their yards, and bad three more downs in which to gain the goal. They made the goal the next time. “Gained the goal,’’ said the umpire, Spartans win, sto 0.” The Smilers were very sorry because they lost. Frkd Bagshaw. Woman’s Work. For Woman’s Work. Autobiography of a By William Gillkspie. DF a detk could only talk it would sure ly tell some of its sad tales. So I will speak briefly tor one: I was once a nice green tree growing in a thick forest with many companion around me. Late ore day two men came up in a buggy and stopped in front of us; they got out of the buggy and brought two axes with them. They looked around and, spying me and my companions, cut us down. We had to sty good-bye to cur other companions who were still standing so straight, with fresh green leaves spread over their trunks and branches. The next day the same men came in a great wagon and loaded me and my com panions on it; we were carried many miles when we came to a city, but that was not the end of the journey. We went still further until we came to a great yard where there were many piles ot lumber. The men drove into the yard and unload ed us. It was dark a: d I soon fell asleep, dreaming of my joyous days in the wide green forest, and ot my dear companions. I was awakened in the morning by some men cutting my pretty green leaves from my branches. I did not like this, but had to stand it. I was then pulled across the yard to a shop, where there were many buzzir g things which sounded like myriad wild bees. I soon found cut what these things were, for I was put on a long bench with one of these whirling, buzzing things at the end. A man came up and laid me acrots the bench close up to the funny thing which he spoke of as a “saw.” I was pushed up against it, and it sawed me in two. But this was not the worst: when it got through sawing me in pieces I was taken to another shop where there were oth er things that ran upanddown on the boards to make them smooth. This was called a “plane,” as one man said. From here a piece of me was taken to another room which was a paint department. 1 was then varnished ai.d set away to dry. Tne next day I was sent into town to another shop, and here 1 had great iron feet screw ed to me. This was very unpleasant, lor it was very difficult to get around. Soon the time came tor me to be put in a school room, and that was the worst part, of all, because I knew I should never see the w< r d again—being screwed down to the floor forever. The first day I was there a little golden-haired maiden came and took me for her desk. She put her books in there: sometimes she wou d bring her doll to school, and when the teacher came near the little girl would hurry the doll inside for me to take care of. And that was not al): she would bring a white Teddy Bear, which would make me shiver when she stuffed him in to be taken care of. He would scratch me with his claws and climb all over me. He would stick his tongue out at me and make the most awful faces that I evorsaw. Well, dear, I think I had better stop now and wait until another time to give you further experiences. Dear Children:—l know a boy who, before he was two years old, had a pug dog. It was younger than the baby and it was given to him by a friend. The little boy’s name was Richard and he lived in a big city. Richard and his pug had quite a time getting acquaint ed. Richard used to plav in the coal bucket at times and get his hands black, and so, when he saw how black the pug’s nose was, he thought that the pug had got into the bucket, too, and had been eating coal. He thought that the pug’s eyes were marbles like the ones he rolled on the floor, and he used to call the tail that curled up over puggy’s back a “handle.” Richard and the pug came to be very good friends and to know each other a great deal better, but one day when the gate was left open, puggy walked out and didn’t know enough to come back. Now, Richard has another pet. It is a kitten who is wise enough to stay where she has a warm place to sleep and plenty of good things to eat. Richard, who is now seven years old, has been to school and learned to write. He has written what he calls “a composition” about her—which he wants to have printed. Maybe you will like to read it. Here it is: “My Kitten.” I have a kitten whose name is Frisk. She is very pretty and I love her, too. And what do you suppose she does? Well, I will tell you. She comes up on the bed and she tickles me with her whiskers, and then she licks my face and lies down beside me. I. B. Y. Hni’t use dull scissors!
