who led the nation through strife and bloodshed. Truly he was a great man, a man whose fame will increase with each passing year. As it has been said, he was strong and tall like the trees he felled, the kind broadness of the fields filled his heart, silence and solitude were his boyhood friends and when only a great man could save the nation, God called Abraham Lincoln and found him ready. The above essay was written in a forty-minute class period, with only a few notes as a guide. The Lincoln medal, given by the Illinois Watch Company of Spring- field, Ohio, for the best essay, was awarded to Miss Harriet Kemp. This is a copy of the original, just as it was written in class. The Artist Little .lack Frost is an artist, With brushes and colors bright He travels over the woods and fields And colors the leaves at night. Here a splash of crimson And there of yellow or brown He paints a pretty picture As he travels around the town. Margaret Smith, '29. Peanuts and Pennies Lupino was a monkey which belonged to Lupo, the Italian organ-grinder. Every morning, even when the rain was pattering gently on the sloping roof of his room, Lupo would swing Lupino up on one shoulder and sling the little hurdy-gurdy on the other, and saunter out to earn his living by making music and collecting pennies. Lupino was dressed in a blue uniform, with red braid on the front and on the pockets, and he wore a red hat, carefully mended. Lupo could not sew very well, it is true, but when he discovered that the pennies were dropping out through a hole in the hat and that the children were pick- ing them up and using them over again, he sat right down with a little needle and a big thread that he happened to have, and stopped up the leak! And because he had more thread than he needed, and some extra patches of cloth, he put two more pockets on the uniform, big pockets like pouches that would hold a great many pennies. The two had a very happy time together, wandering about the city, and nobody in the little house where they lived could decide whether or not Lupo was fonder of Lupino than Lupino was of Lupo! One day, a warm, sunny day, when all the children were rolling hoops in the park, and when the windows were wide open with the white curtains blowing, Lupo picked up his monkey and said, Come on. We go to Mario's restaurant today. This restaurant was the nicest place in the city, Lupo thought. There he could sit down with many friends and chatter fast in Italian and eat a big bowl of the good macaroni, while Lupino played in the open court or dozed in the sun and dreamed about monkey-land. On this fine day Lupo was no sooner inside the door of the restaurant than he saw an old jolly friend whom he had left behind him in Italy years before. They greeted each other and slapped each other on' the back, and then sat down to have lunch, talking fast all the time. But first, before they ate, Lupo tied the monkey to the railing outside the door. Lupino looked at them, very slyly out of one eye and saw that they were not paying much attention to him. Then he hopped until he got as far out in the court as his chain would let him go, sitting down on his hind legs he pushed his cap far back on his head and looked at some children who were playing hop-scotch. Their singing and hopping made him want to dance, too, so he jumped up and down, and a little bell that was fastened to his uniform like a button tinkled and tinkled. The children stopped playing at once and gathered around him in a circle. One of them, however, took one last big hop, she had a bag of peanuts in her hand, and she jumped so hard that one fell out and rolled under Lupino's nose. He put out his little claw, picked up the nut, and

I tried to moisten my lips with my tongue, but my tongue was dry. Everything turned bottom-side up. I saw the river coming up to meet me, its rushing and roaring filling my ears. I tried to cry out but no sound escaped from my lips. When I awoke I was twenty thousand leagues below the sea. Rather fishy business, I mumbled. I rubbed my hand across my eyes. I put the other hand up over my head. I instantly withdrew it with a cry of pain. I felt myself being pushed about, my head being crushed, and my nose being tweaked. Mebbe that'll teach yer to keep yer hands off, said a shrill voice. I sat up. All I could see was a candle flickering nearby. As soon as my eyes became accustomed to the light I could distinguish a table, a chair, and an old man with a long flowing beard. Where am I, who are you? I asked. Whatcha think I am? I never answered so many questions in my life. You are inside of a whale, I'll answer that and no more. But naow I wanna tell you some- thing, don't you dare tickle this whale ag-ain, cause if you do this candle will go out and I've only one more match, and this is the only candle and I've only a hot dog for food. Then we will have ter suffer and die and make food for the whale. Naow keep still and let me sleep. This is the first time I've spoken to a human being for fourteen years. I fell back in a dead faint. When I came to I stood up and walked back and forth the entire length of the whale. My watch was still running and I timed myself. It took me exactly an hour to walk from his tail to his jaw. Once I started to climb up into his mouth and it made him sneeze and I made a record run from his jaw to his tail in just twenty minutes. My head struck something hard and I lay there for fully twenty minutes. I crawled slowly back down to his jaws, taking care not to get too near. As I neared his jaws a strong light shone in. I was looking out at the moon! My foot slipped, and in an instant the whale sneezed again. The candle flickered and went out. The whale awoke. I heard the old man shouting at me. His words came through his whiskers like a breeze through the pine trees. I heard him coming forward. I started to run and he followed. My feet, slipped out from under me, and I landed against the table. The old man fell on top of me. His fingers found my throat and he started to choke out my life. You made me lose my match and the candle is out. Naow I'll choke you and eat you! Now die! he wheezed. With all the energy I could summon I threw the old man off me. He landed in a heap at my side. I heard an awful howl and-I woke up. Yes, it was a wild dream. If I hadn't thrown my dog, Jerry, out of bed I might have told you how I got out of the whale. I really don't know my- self. W. T., '28, The Chicadee When the snow lies deep and drifted And the skies are dark and drear, Then the chickadee flies around Singing his song of bright good cheer. His song sounds glad and happy The reason, I think I know, He's saying thank you for the crumbs Which he finds scattered on the snow. Sometimes when we go skiing And we chance to take a fall, It seems he laughs with a chicka-tee-hee As he flies over the garden wall. We are glad that he stays with us For his happy songs of cheer Help brighten the cold winter days And make the spring seem near. Margaret Smith, '29. A Ramble in Songland Seated one day at the organ, I thought that Just a Song at Twilight would end A Perfect Day. Outside the faint sound of jingling bells came in and I knew that my schoolmates were having a sleighride, how- ever, I could not go with them for mother had said, Too Many Parties And Too Many Pals, May Break Your Heart Some Day. Then I began to grow drowsy and before I realized it I was Way Down South in Dixie, there was no snow there, but was all Moonlight and Roses. I walked along and E: '41 D: I-il IU: jf-fl IF -:Cl Ili: :il C2 il 5 D: IU: :fi I: ' :nfl Q s .s s s s s ii 5 s Q I I Il- fi Q rl :fl I I I I Sl . Ji 'li J.. 3 il I 3 sf. 3 I I l I 1 :fl '1-.
