I6 SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, l922 in an angry voice what had happened, and hc apologized profusely, promising to always awaken after that. 'l'he Queen said, 'Very well, Mr. t'ockletoo, l'll give you one 1no1'e chanceg and then il' you fail, l will throw a spell over you, so that t'orever and ever, you. and your descendants will have to wake up and crow at Your o'clock in the morning, no matter how tired you may bc.' The Queen went away. For a long timc after, the rooster was t'aithl'ul, until one morning he tailed to awaken, causing many ol' the fairies to go blind. VVhen at last he did awaken, the Queen was beside him. She had come to fulfill her threat. Ever after, the poor roosterhwas compelled to wake up at four, and crow, So it is when you liear the roosters crow in the early morniug,x you will know they are warning the fairies ot' the approaching day. That was a very nice story, Grandfather, said little Dannie, yawning, but l'm sorry that the rooster didn 't have an alarm- cloek. Perhaps he would have waked up then. I Wt'll, l guess you'll need an alarm clock it' you don 't go to bed pretty soon, laughed Grandfather. CThe Endj Rihohy lllerchant, SAL 3:2292 , . The Stars Baseball Game One night the stars gathered together behind a dark cloud. They were wondering what new game to play. - Suddenly a star piped up and said, 'tLet's play baseball as the children ofthe earth play. 'Phe very thing, cried all the others, 'tbut who will we have for umpire ?'l Why, the moon of course, said a little star. Will you, pointing to the moon, be umpire? asked the stars in a chorus. Wl1y', yes, answered the moon. You,'l pointing to a few large stars, be first, seeond and third basemen, and you be pitcher and you be catcher. 'tliut what are we going to have for the bat and ball? asked a star. VVhy, the bowl ot the dipper for the ball and the handle tor the bat, of course, chirped up a little star. K 'tAll right, play ball, . yelled the excited moon. The game Went on all night and the stars liked it so much they have played it every night for years. H , Every time a home run is knocked, the mortals on earth see a shooting star, and exclaim, HOh! see the falling star. I 'wondei why it fell. - -Thyrza Dodge, 7B.
