History of the Marathon, The Marathon had its origin in the Grecco-Perslan wars, nearly twenty- four centuries ago. In 490 B. C. a Perslan army of 1,200,000 men under the command of Dahs and Arta- Pphernes was landed at Marathon scarcely a day’s journey from Athens. The Athenians and their aliles num- gering in all 10,000 ynder the command ©of Miltiades occupied = the foothills surrounding the plain _of Marathon. ‘Without awalting the Persian attack they charged the invading army on the plain, and drove them to thelr ships with great slaughter. The fate of Greece was decided by this battle, and Miitiades at oance sent a runner to Athens 26 1-5 miles dis- tant to tell of the rout of the enemy. He reached the city in a few hours, and, after shouting to the people around him “Victory!” he_ fell dead from exhaustion. DAVID CRAMER, Age 11. Norwich. Abraham Lincoln. Avraham Lincoln was a tall, awk- ward looking man who was born in Kentucky. When he was a boy he went to a school which was quite a distance off. He went there only a short time; he could not go all the time because he had to help his father at home, Abraham Lincoln was a very stu- dlous boy, after the rest had ail gone to bed he would sit up near the fire and study some book, When Abraham was about_seven- teen years of age his mother died. So now he had to find Someone else to make his clothes. He found Mrs, Nancy Miller, who said she would do it for him. So she spun some coarse cloth and dved it brown with walnut Having no money to pay for t he had to chop down and split four hundred ' good fence rails for every ward of cloth. In this way he made his axe pay for his clothes, ‘When older he hecame a member of the state legislature of Illinois.

Norwich, the Three Kinds of Pennies. A boy who had a pocketful of cop- pers dropped one into the missionary box, laughing as he did so, for he had no thought in his heart about Jesus or the heathen. Was his penny as light as tin? As a second boy dropped his penny into the box he shed a tear, and his heart said, “Poor heathen! I am sor- ry they are so poor, so ignorant and s0 miserable.” That was a silver pen- ny, the gift of a heart full of pity. But there was one scholar who gave a penny, saying: “For Thy sake, Lord Jesus! ' Oh heathen may hear of Thee, the Saviour of Mankind! That was a golden penny, because it was_thefgift of faith and love. ROSILDA CHAMPAGNE, Age 8. Versailles. The Pet Bird. One summer afternoon four chil- dren went for a walk. Hans, the. eld- est of the four, saw & poor little bird in the bushes. He took the bird home and made for it a bed behind the Stove. Next morning when the children came downstairs they could not see anything of the bird. Finally Hans saw the bird upon the wall, In & lttle while Hans made a cage for it and kept it the rest of its life. CLARA PARK. Age 10. Colchester, Her Little Seaman Friend.

The largest giri kept the house very neat, We stayed there two weeks. The girls were lace caps, very stiff | with starch, and they had parts turned back like wings.

Abraham Lincoln was borr# on Feb- ruary 12, 1809, in a log shanty on a lonely little farm in Kentucky. When | Lincoln was seven vears old his fath- ler moved to Indiana, and he helped | his mother and father build a nem { house. ! That new house was mot so com- { fortable as our cow sheds are. It had { only three sides, and if an Indian or | a bear wanted to walk in to dinner | there was nothing to stop them. In | winter Lincoln’s mother would havg a buffalo skin over the open side to keep out the cold. Lincoln had 2 bag of leaves for his bed in one end of the house. Whenever Lincoln wanted a new bed all he had to do was to go Into the woods and get some more fresh leaves. helping his mother. For his supper he had a piece of cornbread. Lincoln went to school in a log house in the woods. His father couid no afford to buy paper and pencils for his son to use. So he had to use a fire shovel for paper, and a piece of char- coal for a pencil. By the time Lincoln was seventeen he could write a good hand, do hard examples in long div sion, and could spell better than any- one eise in the country. Lincoln had six books which inter- ested him very much. “Robinson Crusoe,” Pllgrim's Pro- gress” “Aesop's Fables” the Bible, and the “Life of Washington,' and a small History of the United States Abraham Lincoln was elected pres ident in 1861. He was president dur- ing the war between the North and the South. In April, 1865, he was assassinated {by a man named Booth. Both the North and the South joined in mourn- man.

He stumbled on and he came to a cave. He went In and made a fire from the wood he found there. ‘When he had & good fire going he noticed for the first time that there were two bears in the entrance who were afraid to come near on account of the big fire.

We started very early one morning, and got there late in the afternoor We then went to stay with one of m: uncles, Early the next afternoon we went to a big museum. I will tell you some of the things I saw there. As we came in the door we saw a big tent. Soldiers (made of wax) were posted all around it. Inside of this tent soldiers and officers. of_wax, too. My uncle told me to turn around and I did. There I saw @ man's head. It was a clock and every minute the man would sticl his tongue out. I enjoyed that very much. We then went into a room where there was nothing but a bed, and what a bed it was! It was four times as wide as our ordinary beds. The next room was filled _with shields and other different things which they had used in the day. of wars. We saw one sword which was long. It was thick, but also very sharp. Then we went upstairs and came in- to a room where we could see nothing but dishes. All of them had been used in_olden times, as we call it. ‘We went further on and we came to a place where the walls hung full of pictures. One of those pictures I liked very much. It was a little cottage standing by five very itself. Before it s a lake. Across the lake was the railroad track.

So he ven- tured in and behold! the trap door closed and shut the squirrel inside. There was no chance to get out, the door was so tightly closed. He ate the nut and it tasted good. He looked around for more, but no more could he see. At last a boy came and threw open the trap door.
