V ox C () L L E G 1 I 17 Love all — plant, creature, land and sea; And bring a maid to live with thee. And lo ! and behold ! the pile of flow- ers one day disappeai ' ed and there stood two marvellously beautiful creat- ures, hand in hand. Like all other animal races, this lat- est species flourished and became num- erous. Being- much cleverer than the others they remained lords over them ; and also they put th?ir cleverness into making their lives and existence as comfortal)le and as happy as possible, which was not very difficult during this time of beautiful weather. But one day, it happened that two of these human beings beeam? angry with one another, and one killed the other. As soon as he did this he realized that he had done something terribly wrong and more wicked than anything else. He real zed also that this other man deserved life as much as he, and the result was that he brooded over his act and became vary cold in his ac- tions and feelings. Eventually he l)e- came so cold in thoughts and spirit that he began to think that it was not really him that was cold but the weather. Then the Sun-god said: That man has done a t?ri-ible deed of wrong and to pun ' .sh him and any like him, as he already thinks the weather is cold, I might as well make the weather cold. Of course some people are good and so he left half th weather nice and warm, but ever since that day there has been miserably cold weather part of the time, in remembrance of the first crime and a warning to future generations. — E. P. C. SCHOOL DAYS Mary Louise sat on the window-seat at the side door waiting for the Bus to come. She took a deep breath ; it hard- ly seemed possible that she had gradu- ated only yesterday. It was th? beginn ' ng of a new life. Yes! But the end of hei- school days. She had often heard the saying that school days are the happiest of all. She wonderrd vaguely if this were true. In her flrst school days had she found them so very happy? Her mind travelled back to the little school room in the country. How well she remembered the day she had been chawing gum and the exasperated young teacher had brought her up to the front of the room. As she faced the sea of faces before her Mary Louise Was conscious of giggles. She obeyed the teacher ([uietly and placed the offend- ing article on her little turned up nose amid a burst of laughter. When the teacher resumed her seat Mary Louise made faces and laughed for the b?nefit of the sympathetic audience before her. But when they were out during recess she resolved into tears. The repentant teacher had lent her a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Ma ry Louise smiled as she thought of how she had washed teacher ' s hankie at the pump and ironed it with a cold doll ' s iron in the hope that mother wouldn ' t discover the disgrace which had befal- len her. Had that beon a happy time? And then, at h ' gh school when Mary Louise was in first form, and was at that sensitive age, she had been made to sit with a boy because she had been talking. She remembered how her cheeks had burned, and how near the tears had been. It had been a great Inuniliation and as she wended her way home Mary Louise had thought the world very cruel indeed. But oh ! Mary Louise sighed, what could possibly be nicer than Gradua- tion? All the joys and thrills that go with it ! It frightened her just a teeny weeny bit as she thought that soon, very soon, she must decide her future life. But it really was wonderful to b.» as happy as she was now. As the other girls gathered around I ' or the Bus Mary Louise decided lliat des])ite childish mishaps school days are the happiest ever. And, she addnl to her self as she kissed an accjuaintance good-bye, even mishans are funny — after they ' re over. — Shirley Leisiiman.

vox COLLEGll 19 FROM A CANOE One day I startsd out in a canoe on a tour of inspection around the little Lake Kasheshebooamog, in Muskoka. The water was very calm and it was in water lily season. Sweeping around a curve of rocks a beautiful scene came into view : — a little blue bay covered with a white and green sheet of water lilies, and all surrounded by a marsh ol ' iris. I leaned over to pick a flower, and suddenly — I supose you fell in? — No, I — Suddenly I caught sight of a green branch floating across the bay, gradually naaring a little corner where the land curved, making some kind of nook that was out of sight. It must be a little stream, ' I said to myself, and paddled nearer to see. What 1 saw was a little beaver hut, and a little brown head disappear, leaving the branch mo- tionless. — E. P. C.
