S2 OUI-DIRE was galloping. and all of a sudden I went off. but I did not know I did it. I went oi-t right over his head. M. E. B.. 24. A POLLYWOG. tlnce we had a pollywog and some gold fish. The nian we bought it from said that some day we would find it under the piano croaking. but we did not ever, IYC had it for a long time. but still the feet did not conie nor the tail go away, but the gold fish ate the pollywog's tail oft. llnce in the summer we put a little piece of wood in the bowl, and the pollywog kept jump- ing up and down. Once it jumped up and the window was open and it jumped out of the win- dow and we never saw anything of that polly- wog again. F. T. S., '24. OUR BOAT. Unce we made a boat out of barrels. It took four. Then we nailed four boards together. The boards were thin. My cousin got on for the first time. Ile was sailing line, all dressed up, then all at once it broke. I do not like to tell you what happened. M, H., '2.t. MY PET. One evening just before supper, I was sitting in the library playing on the piano. My father came in smiling. I jumped up to give him a kiss as usual. I stopped! for there was Father's linger stretched out, for on it was a bird, a real Poll Parrot! I ran upstairs to tell Mother. She did not look pleased. I said, Mother, are you not pleased? She laughed and said nothing. Then I went down stairs. I inet Father going into the dining room. I sad, 'AIYhere is l7olly's cage? Ile said, Come with me. Soon we came to the back porch. There was I'olly's cage. She went in nicely. XYhen we were at supper she began to talk, which made us laugh. Now she talks all the time. E. il.,, '2.j. CRABS. Crabs have eight legs. They have eyes that they can put out and in, IX'hen the water is up, the crab goes under the sand and eats flies and sea weed. Mrs. Crab has wt-ak bands. li. G. McC., '25, THE LITTLE GIRL AND I. I saw a little girl Working in a yard. She seemed as if she was having a hard time and so I went into the yard and helped her hang up her clothes. She thanked me so much for help- ing her. HNever mind, that is all right, I said. I never forgot how that little girl thanked me. Her name was Frances. E. D. M., ,25. BILLY COON GOES CRABBING. Did you ever go crabbing? Did you ever see a coon go crabbing? A coon sticks his tail in the water and waits till a crab gets a hold of it. Then he jerks his tail out of the water and then eats the crab. F. IV. S., '25, MY LION. Katharine Jennings gave me a lion last June on my birthday. Mind up the lion and he jumps. I frighten my nurse with my lion. IVhen Bar- bara was going to put something in the waste- basket, the lion was behind the door and the lion jumped at her. She ran as hard as she could run. M. V. I., '25. MY MOTH. I am going to tell you about my Secropia moth. The cocoon was found in a park in Chicago, and was taken to the University of Illinois. There it was kept in an icebox for two years. Then it was sent to Miss Glasgow, who gave it to me. I kept it in my room for four months, and one day I found it a beautiful moth. The wings are gray, reddish-brown, rose, black, white. It has six feet. It has two antennze. F. D. nets., '25, MY DOLL,S SET. At home I have a set for my big doll. A wash- stand, a pitcher, a piece of soap, a brush and comb, a towel, a washrag and a sponge belong to the set. They have roses, pink and blue. C. 5. R., 26. MY TEA PARTY. I had a tea party yesterday. I had my dolls at the party and I had some lemonade and some cakes and I had my friends at the tea party. K. G. B., '26. S ': iam'
