8 c _ _ _ Conducted by Mrs. Wm. King, 480 Courtland Ave., Atlanta, Ga. A TRIP THROUGH THE KINGDOM OF THE LOWER ANIMALS. We give you a story today contributed to our column by one of our members. Away back, years ago, when I was not much taller jhan ‘ knee high to a duck.” I went to stay with my brother in law to tend the baby, pick up chips, run errands and do a thousand other things that go to knock all the poetry and half the fun out of a boy's life. Down on a big creek my brother in law had some fine “bottoms,” ami he, carried me with him th're one cold and windy afternoon in March to help him drop corn. Finishing early my part of the work and being cold ami having no one to keep me company. I "backed” into a crocus sack with rear part to windward and went sound to sleep. It must have been th? kindly hoot-hoot of .1 solitary owl in' a .neighboring swamp that directed tiie cur rent of my dr. nn: anyway 1 dreamed that I was in a big swamp and had in my pocket a paper from tne king of the lower animal creation which gave me the power and privilege of going among and conver ing with each and every member of this wonderful king dom. The first member of this family whom I approached wis .Mr. Bull Frog I found him sitting in a cool, damp nook un derneath some rushes, seemingly quite happy. On being qu- stimu 4 as to ids idea of the correct mode of making a llvc-11- h< 0.1, also his id- a as to wiiat conduct most lieconi- s a gentleman. lie said that as lie was possessed of a good voice and enjoyed singing better than answer ing fool questions for a foreigner, he would make his reply very brief ami to the point. "The grandest law of na ture, sir.' said Mr Frog, ns he shifted Pis position and called for .another glass of sugared rum. "is self-preservation. Another big law with us. sir, is that the weak must support the strong and the unwary and carmust ever feed the wary and vigilant Being a very learn ed frog, having been mayor <>f Toadville for a numtier of years, he disclosed to me many other laws that govern in his kingdom—all. how. \er. of the same spirit as the abovc-nie tinned on. To prove to m- that he was support- i cd in his opinions and "laws” by the great force which brought him Into ex istence. he showed mo his peculiar tongue. Upon examination I found that it was attached to the extreme front part, of bls upper jaw and lay to the -ear thus enabling him to rea -h far >ut at d ‘‘hook’’ into his mouth tl • unwai y lug. He said that life to him was one continuous I day dream of perfect bliss: tt. it all that h- had to do was to get in som<- dark, c< r inded spot «nd r- st. perfectly easy, until some industrious but careless bug Or lizard comes along, then out would go his swift tongue and in would go Mr. 1’ g. never io return. "But." In said, as he looked cautiously to the rear to . behold an immense rattler steathily ap- 1 proaching. "s--ls-pres« 1 ration is tin- first law with frog-, as well as with nature.” rind with a shrill squeak tie plunged headlong into the friendly pond b< low. After giving Colonel Rattler a friendly : greeting, I asked him for his views on ! life, and on "what conduct most becomes 1 n true gentlem n.” With a fiendish gilt- ' ter of the eye ind •> dart of his black, < f- rk‘-d tongue, he said that ii- had over- ' hoard the conversatb n between me and 1 Mr. Frog, and thai he most heartily in dorsed everything Mr. Frog had said, and • <■ hit busin then was to treat Mr. Frog just as Mr. Frog always treated Mr. Bug and Mr Lizard. <'olo.iel Rattler being hungry and in an ugly rnood, hoisted his tail and gave me a tattling farewell, and glided noiselessly ' off into the jungle in quest of some weaker member of th** animal family Or.

C.—Dear Junior: Franklin is a prosperous little town yvitl: a population of about 350 persons. I live about a quarter of a mile from Franklin. I attend the Frank lin High school, which has about 170 pupils. The principal occupations of the people of Macon county are farming and stock raising. Macon county has some of trio grandest mountain scenery of ’.'•stern North Carolina. The Wayali I' ■ li. which is about 12 miles from Frank lin, is otye of the highest mountains in vi stern North Carolina. It abounds in wild turkeys and pheasants. Down its slopes run many streams which abound in deep trout holes. From its summit one can see the valley of the little Ten nessee river, including Franklin. We have « smaller mountain about 3 miles from Franklin named Trimount, so-called bocatse it contains three peaks. This is the flist time that I have made an at tempt to write to tiie Junior page. I will now close with my best wishes to the cousins. I am 14 years old. Cor respondence solicited. Martha Morrison, Argyle, Fla.—Dear Junior: I have never written to you be bore.

This is the land of lakes and springs There are two large springs 5 and 8 miles of here, one of them near Fendleton, known a.s the Bonce de Leon spring. There is one 2 or 3 miles from there Is very large. Tiie water boils up in the center and where the boil is you cannot see any bottom. Tltis spring is deep enough for a steam boat to run in. The water looks blue in the spring, but when you dip it up It is os char as crystal. It Is known a.s the. Campbel] spring. My mamma Is dead. She has been dead over a year and we all live at grandpa’s. I have two sisters and two brothers. I love to read the Junior page, Bill Arp and Surge. Blunk ett's letters.

Wall. Oak Hill, Greenville County, N. C - Dear Junior: My heart Is much grieved after reading of the death of our much beloved Bill Arp and look ing upon bis noble picture In The Atlan ta Constitution. How sadly we will miss the beautiful and noble letters that he sent to us each week lie deserves a great monument. My father was in tho confederate war of 1861-5. a member et' company B. Third regiment, etc., from Hie state of Georgia. Was with Lee at the Appomattox Court House on the Jth of April, 1865. so you see he was in the war from the first until the end. He was a private all through tiie war. was never wounded, but the hardship ot war shatter ed his eoiistitu-tion. from which he never recovered and lie departed this life wh. it 1 was tin infant. I am an invalid; have not walked a step in seven years—para lyzed from my chest down totally. Af flicted as I am. let me tell you what i <ll I a lew days ago. I was sitting near tiie door and looking in the yard 1 saw two large black snakes lying wrapped to gether. One of the children handed t> me the rifle that my uncle used in the battle of the Wilderness until it would get so hot lie would have to lay it down for it to cool. 1 took good aim at. the two black snakes and killed them both. Just then my uncle came up and meas-[ ured them. One was 6VI. feet long; tuJ other 7 feet. J will not describe tho black snake, for. he is too well known. 1 am collecting canceled stamps. Would be glad for any of the cousins to send me theirs. Wish to sa* to the lady in Alabama that. I am a biity, not a girl, lint would ap- , preeiate your kindness just as much as; if 1 was a girl. Aunt Susie, I wish you : health at: I happiness. Paulino Wightman, Emory, S. C.— Dear Junior: After quite a refreshing rain, and all nature seems refreshed after suelj a long drought, I will try and pen the Juniors a few lines. Guess some ot you Juniors remember mo, as 1 have written before. Some of the cousins have been condemning unknown correspou { dence. I "ill give my little experience with one. I ‘lave for the last mouth had one of my unknown friends with me, and a nicer and sweeter girl I’ve never met. I’m sure If all that. I’ve corresponded with were as nice i’ll nover regret it Os course some try to carry on a flirta tion, but: need we girls allow it? I date say that all tiie harm that is carried on bv unknown friends it is tho girls' fault, and such girls will carry on flirtations with other boys. I attribute my last month's pleasure mostly to Tiie Constitu tion and’ that 1 have a true friend. I have spent a very pleasant, summer ami fall is here most, and I do enjoy fall. Schools will soon all be opened and guess most of tiie Juniors will be glad. When I attended school I was always glad for school to begin. Wo are ail grieved io[ learn of Bill Arp's death. How his let ters to The Constitution will bo missed'! But much more by those that knew and : loved him. Well. I guess tills will lie I my last letter to The Uonstltutfnn Junior, as I have approached the ago that juniors cease to wiite. Love to Aunt Susie and the cousins. Lucian R. Brown. Rosohil], N.
