TOPIC: A SCHA1' OF—
Under tlic Kcd, While ami Blue*
Daisy was busy tying up licr doll's
hair with red, -wliite aud blue ribbon
tor the Fourth of July. She was
far too busy to see "robin
red breast" fly in and tako the
scrap of ribbon she had left. But
lake it he did out to his home in
'.he old apple tree.
The next afternoon Daisy and
her mother went down town. While
I they were gone half a dozen boys
j came up.
"Look there," called the leader,
a boy named Carl. "A robin just
flew out of that apple tree and I
see a uest up there,'* "A robin's
<Sa is just what 1 want," added an
c thcrr boy.
Then Carl who had been looking
hard at the nest for several minutes
suddenly said, "Boys wo can't takd
them. They are under the red,
white and blue."
Sure enough the little scr::p of
ribbon had caught 011 a twig, and
now floated over the nest as if to
protect it.
"Hurrah for the red, white and
blue!" called a boy in the crowd.
Theu they moved away to look
j for some nest not under "our flag."

A Story tif the Trail

bystander at the l>ort office as the
Old Colonel disappeared over a lit
tle knoll. "1 hear that he h:'s foar
hundred pounds of mull tliis trip.
That's quite a lead," said Forest.
About a week later Tom Green
came in villi the south hound mail.
When asked, Green said he had not
been R-svell anywhere, and thought

A searching party at once started

They went immediately to the foot

The last person was about to

"A Scrap of Cloth."
"Yes, I was once as wonderful as
\ou, Jliss Silk," said a little scrap!
cf cl.">th tc a larger piece of silk.
"That may be," replied Mi;;s Silk, i
The little scrap of clo»!i said, "I
:■ 111 called linen. 1 used to live out.
in the fields under the hot sun. I |
lived for a long time under the bells!
that belon° to ruy race. I was what]
you call a fibor of the flax. The flax]
plant was my mother. She had I
many pretty blue bells. One day a J
mortal whom we called man, came
and cut my mother and all down
with them, i was then taken and j
put into a machine, and squasheJ
rearly to death. Then I was putj
in some water and left for a few
days, so after going through other
machines and processes, I and a lot
of other pieces were sent to a
house. There I was put togethe
with the other pieces. 1 was then
sent to a house where I was made I
into a dress. The lady who wore
me was one of those haughty peo
ple who dress oniy for looks. Af
ter having these experiences I was
quit© worn out. By the time I was
worn out I was sent to a poor wo
man, who made me into a dress for
her child. Then I was cast here, j
as you see me uow, and can hard-1
ly think that I was onco a piece of a
haughty lady's dress, and now only
a scrap ol cloth." Tho cloth end
ed her etory with a sigh.
"That is indeed a misfortune,"
said Miss Silk. "I will tell you my
story now." But before she could,
a littlo child came along, and, her
bright eyes spying Miss Silk, she
carried her off. So she did not
have time to toll her stor/ to tho
little scrap of cloth.

A Scrap of Leather
James, a poor boy of seventeen,
lived with his widowed mother in
the outskirts of a large city. They
made a scanty living by the few farm
products they raised. They owned
a horse and saddle which they were
trying to sell, but could not find
any sal-3 for them.
One day James had goue to town
trying to sell some vegetables, and
while there, he learned that nest
Tuesday a big horse raeo was com
ing off. A first prize of five hun
dred dollars would be offered. "My,'1
ho thought, "that is a g-reat deal,
but I don't suppose I could win it.
Mjr saddle is out of repair, and be
sides X have no leather to fix it."
But on his way home he thought
i-bout it, and finally decided that if
he could possibly afford it, he
would buy some leather, and try
any way. When he reached home he
told his mother his plans. "If you
can use it, you may have the strap
around my trunk," she said. "Just
tho thing," said James. "Mother,
I'm going to try and I'll win, too.
Ho found that lie did not need the
wholo strap and used only a small
1'iirt of it.
-Next Tuseday, when he left home
ior the race, he said to his moth
er, "When I com: home touight, I
will bo five hundred dollars richer
than I am now." Having arrived at
tlio racing grounds, he .Cound he was
just in tinfe. There were nine other
contestants beside himself. They drew
themselves up in line and bang!
the pistol went off and away flew
the horses. The race was on!
James found his horse would have
tc do some very fast ruuuing to
keep up with the others, but it was
in good trim and he thought he
had a pretty good show. They had
to run four miles altogether. When
within the last mile homewards, all
but four had dropped out. James
was auionp. those remaining. The
. ontesL grew hot now. James found
his horse steadily losing. Things
I t,row dizzy before him. Dut gather
| :!!£ up all his strength, he urged his
horse onward. When about one
I i:umlred feet away from the goal his
iiorse gave a sudden spurt and
leached it just in front of the oth
ers. ifo had won!
"And all from a little scrap x of
leather," lie told his mother that
evening after he returued home.

A Joke nil Mr. 1 twister
Once upon a time as, Mr. Rooster
\.'as walking slowly along the road,
lie t.iuio to a large wooden gate. Oil
it lie spied something hanging. Mr.
Rooster surely tnought it was a
worm. So he seized it but lie
couldn't got it off because it was
caught Eouieway. Mr. Rooster said,
"My, but this is certaiuly a long,
soft worm. He jerked, and pulled,
but still could not get it loose.
Suddenly it broke and Mr. Rooster
fell backwards still keeping hold of
it. Up he got and began to pull
again, liut oh, it got in his throat.
Ho coughed it out and said, "I
won't try to eat anything again
that looks like that." It wasn't a
worm after all. It was a scrap of
yarn. Mr Rooster had been badly
tooled.

Teacher Joins the Fray
A bunch of boys were back of tlie
school-house watching a fight be
tweeu two boys of their class. It
was against the rules of the school
t£ fight, so the boys chose this
place so tho teacher could not see
them. .When tho bell rang the
boys went into echool and began to
study. Not long afterwards one of
the boys that had been fighting
sent a note to his opponent. At
noon they passed out and the boy
with the note threw it at the
waste-paper basket. It failed to
reach the basket and lay there in
full view from the teacher's desk.
It was torn in two once. The teach
er came in and seeing it picked it
up. She threw one piece of it in
tlie basket, and looked at the other.
She read as follows:
smash your face
after school
This was all she could make out.
The rest she could not read. She
recognized tho writing at once and
that night after school she kept the
boy in. He never fought out be
hind the schoolhouse again.
