While the boys, who had been the owners of their crow for over a year were planning how to introduce the subject to their father and to obtain | his consent to keep him with their other pets, Mr. Bill Crow took the case in his own hands and proved himself a useful member of the family.

Phoébes, robins, bluejays and chick- adees Hve around our school. They make their nests in the big trees. We like to hear’-their. ‘cheery songs. In the winter time chickadees fly around the schoolhouse and we give them crumbs and suet. Once there were two phoebes that Dbufit ‘their nest neat the school. Every morning we could hear them sing their happy song, “PHoebe, Phoebs” We liked to watch .the male bring food. to his mate while she sat patiently on the eggs, and later to the little birds when they were hatched. The birds ‘were not ready to try their wings be- fore we school, 50. we did not. see them fly away. The next year they came back again and we were glad to see that they re- membered their old home. Bvery morning as we came to school we al- ways heard the same cheery song, “Phoebe! Phoebe!” We can show olUF appreciation to the birds by giving them crumbs to eat. and by not throwing stones at them, or frightening them. MARY A. BURRILL, Age 13. Stafford Sprinss.

The minute-men of 1776 were the men who were ready at a_minute's notice to leave the plough, the work- shop or the store ard fight for free- domh. These men beat back the op- pression and won the independence of our fountry. Today thelr names are recorded on the pages of History in letters that will never fade. The minute-men of today are the men who are ready to work when the 'Rong sounds, not the men who are hebitually late. The minute-men of today are the men who keep them- Ives in condition to perform their alotted tasks, not the men who, by keeping late hours and indulging in bad its, render themselves unfit to_do an henest day's work. The minute-men of today are the men who are attentive to their duties and mindful of their employers in- terests, not the men who conduct their own private affairs and gossip with triends during business hou ceed in the struggle of life while the tardy, the careless and indifferent will fall by the wayside. The people now-a-days would pros- per a great deal more if they would take after the Minute-Men of 1776, LEO PELIQUIN, Age 11. Versallles. Christopher Columbus and the Jealous Noblemen. ¢ ‘When Cliristopher Columbus _ had discovered America, some of Queen Isabella’s noblemen were jealons. One day when Columbus and the noblemen were seated at a table, one © fthe jealous courtiers sald to Co- Tumbus: “Your sailing across the ogean is not such @ wonderful thing stter ‘Why, apy one could do Columbus then took an egs. from the plate on the table and handing it to the courtier he told him to try to make it stand up on one end. All the noblemen tried, but could not do it. Columbus then took the egg, and hitting it gentiy cn the table, thus made a small dent on one end and stood it upright. The courtier was not to be caught by, _such a small thing and said: “Why! That's easy! Any body could do_that. they “It is_very easy for you to say that any body can safl fcross the Atlantic ocean but it after I have shown you how. JOSEPHINE BOROVICKA. West Willington. Our Scheol ir.
