Psi aN Ki 6 Ah, children, those were gallant days— When your. forefathers fought the Indians, and cougars pounced on little babies— When boys and girls helped build their own houses, and it took five days to get to Snoqual- mie Falls— When Seattle was a frontier village, and the redskins told legends about old Chinook— . When groceries were brought home in rough- hewn mule-carts, and bears stole blackberry pies off the window sills— When the flames swept up First avenue, and dancing school was on the beach of Elliott bay— Life was different then, more strenuous, less easy, and little boys and girls didn’t have the easy time they have now with their indulgent parents and their pretty suits and dresses and their auto trips and Paris dolls and league base- balls and kiddie kars. ; But maybe they had BETTER times—who knows? Mabel Cleland is telling all about those early days in The Star Seattle Story Book, and be- cause many of youhaven’t read the early stories, or have read them but haven’t saved them and wish you had, The Star is printing them over they hadn't been so energetic night.

Many of these stories—MOST of these stories —are coming from the lips of the pioneers them- selves—the brave early settlers who came West when this was a primeval wilderness, when the present city of Seattle was a dreamer’s vision, and the subtle Siwash tracked his dinner over | timberlands where now dash racing autos on ce- ment-paved roads. To perpetuate the deeds of these early io- neers, children, as well as to give you interesting entertainment, The Star is publishing these lit- tle stories. ; We think you ought to save every one, to hand down to YOUR children and your children’s chil- dren. é And as you read them and re-read them, per- haps you will better understand the wistful smile on Grandpa’s face, the happy gleam in Grandma’s eye, as they review, with memory that never fades, those gallant days IN OLD SEATTLE! The above announcement is a reproduction of the first page of a pamphlet which The Star is publishing in order that all children who have not already done so may start saving and keeping in permanent form The Star Seattle Story Book. The first copy has been promised by Mabel Cleland, the author, to Miss Gussie Benedetti, of Black Diamond, Wash. The early stories are being set in type by The Star’s linotypes, between editions.
