After I had eaten, I was worrying because I had not been given an opportunity to try out my gun. On the following morning I went to explore the woods that surrounded the falls. I came upon a cave, and in this cave I heard something groaning. I got my gun ready as I was nervous at first, then I got up courage when I thought that it might be a man suffering and that I might save him by going in. I approached the cave cautiously, ready to fire at the moment anything approached me. WHS At the entrance I saw nothing, but the strange moaning still at its height. When I had come half-way into the cave, I saw a dozen eyes staring at me. The first thing that came to my mind was to get out of the cave. I started to turn and leave when I saw two eyes in front of me. The eyes seemed to come closer and oloser. Then I oouldn't stand it any longer and I made a desperate leap towards the eyes and fired at the same time. When I lit a match I saw on the ground of the cave a long stri ed ti er. The look on his face told me s P E that I would better get out before the rest of the family dropped in on me, When I got outside, there were four men standing there, with their hands on their stomachs laughing. When I asked them if they hadn't seen the tigers in the cave, they started to roar. I was turning red and purple, and I said that I would show them if they would follow me. When we got and ZH all any the into the cave there were six men playing cards at a table the skin was lying on the floor. When we approached, the at the head of the table said that he wasn't going to play more jokes on me because I had just missed his head with shot I had fired. Fay Bell H9yU--Miss Albee VISIONS Away around the world I'd go, Away to distant lands, But now to school I'm walking slow And into learned hands. A far-off traveler I would be, And follow dreamed-of trails, But now an educational sea Awaits me with its gales. Violet Hawkins H9y'--Miss Albee

Happy birds were flying near, Lightly whistling tunes of cheer. Carol Icanberry H9yH--Miss Albee MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A GUN Last year on Christmas morning I woke and found that I had been left a Winchester rifle by my cousin James. The thought of going hunting with a real rifle had thrilled ne very much. It was July 8 when I was given my first opportunity to use the rifle. I had planned to get some supplies and go into the forest and stay for a week at a certain waterfall. The waterfall that I speak of was visited by many persons other than myself. I had planned to stay at the falls and go for a hike every day in the woods. I had traveled many miles when I finally cane upon a spring. I knew this spring was not the falls that I had heard of, so I decided to get but a drink of water and rest for a- while. After I had rested for about a half-hour, I started on the trail again. The trail that I was following was narrow, and could not be traced very far in front, so one had to watch for and what was in the bushes in front. The people had told us that there were it made me happy to think that I should bears in the woods be able to try out my new gun. As I came around a huge hill, I saw a blinding flash, and when I looked again, it was the sun pouring its golden beans down on the falls. The falls were coming down from the top of the hill on a pile of boulders as a slide. The boulders were very slippery and worn down on the sides. The main part of the falls was a downpour of water and it sounded as if there were some giant hammering on the edges of a mountain. The sides of the falls were smooth and slippery, with nose growing on them. When I arrived by the falls, I found that no one was a- round. My first thought was that the people of the town had been joking me. I decided to unpack and get something to eat.
