JOHN’S BIG MISTAKE Ford touring car that took good care of his had . John Dugan had a touring car that d a job at a large mill. He owned a hat was tainted black. John always his ear , for it was the best thing he One morning he parked his car on Roosevelt Street instead of Washington Avenue as he was in the habit of doing. When he came out from work, he went absent-minded on Washington Avenue and got into a black touring car. John thought it was his car, of course, for it was painted black and it was the same model. When he tried to start the car, a man came running to him. This man was rough-looking and said in a loud manner, u What are you trying to do with my car?” John said, I beg your pardon, I thought this was mine.” ' The man’s rudeness disappeared and he laughed heartily at John. One morning very early when I was going out of the front door there was a cat on the steps at the door, cry- ing as if it were hungry. It was grey and white. I took it into the house and gave it something to eat, but that was the thing I shouldn’t have done, for we could never got rid of it afterwards. It stayed at our house for many days. One day I took it and went far away from our house, so far that it could not find its way back, as I sup- posed. I then let it go. When I came home I told my mother it would surely stay away The next morning when I started to school the same cat was on the steps. I didn’t see how it could have found its way back. I let it come in again and I told my mother that we would have to keep it, for we could never get rid of it, except by killing it, and we didn’t want to do that. Of course, we kept it.

He snowed me a group of mountains. One in particular he pointed out. he told me a little a- bout the mountains and I began to think. I studied the hill more and more. I noticed that it was very steep. It looked as if it were straight up. The ranger had tola me that there was a nidden treasure on top of it. many men had tried to cliniu it, cut had failed.

Perhaps, some day I shall be courageous enough to do this. Roy I.Ioscr L9

One day I was out hording the cattle. Just as it was time to drive the cattle home, the horse I was riding began to prance around and it was with difficulty that I could check him. At last one of the cows ran in the brush and when I started after it the horse whirled around, ran right through the center of the herd, and made for home as fast as he could go. I tried my best to stop him but it was no use, he was going home and that on as besu as was all there was to it. I tried to hang I could, ' then we got up close to the barn, I saw that the horse was going right through the barn door which was open. As the door was rather low I saw that I would be knocked off. I jumped and landed on the ground, sprain- ing my ankle, but I was glad that I had broken no bones. That was the fastest ride I had ever had.

The building was made of adobe or sun- dried brick and was small and inconvenient. There were windows on all sides and the walls were lined with the large clumsy benches. The teacher’s desk was at one side of the room. The stove, large, black, and smoky, was in the center of the room. A blackboard stretched across the room in front, with maps and charts on the sides which greatly interested the pupils. The small struggling community was only able to pay a small sum for their teachers therefore one teacher had to teach three or four grades all of their subjects. In those days there were many things they did not have but they did have olenty of room to play. They had a large yard surrounded by a picket fence. This yard was cool and s h a d y , T-i n T !
