A Western Girl Heads Class D.
Wanda Isaac, ago thirteen, of Free
man, S. D.. wrote:
I was especially Interested In the full
pago pictures In tho book which show
the progress of firearms. Tho following
Is tho story which the picture on the front
cover tells me:
Itay KenslnKton had hod wonderful suc
cess during tho hunting season. Animals
of all descriptions had fallen prey to his
Itemlnuton with Us "U. M. C" ammuni
tion. As he pondered he had a vision In
which a cuvo man, Ilobln Hood, the hunt
er with crossbow, and men with old fash
ioned guns appeared to him. They were
all much surprised at the perfection ot
his weapon.
Tho cava man spoko: "You have beyond
doubt a wonderful menus of defense In
your hands, but when confronted by a
savage bear I hurled at him n Jagged
rock, and when I Invented the sling I took
the first steps. Du not forgut me."
"And me," said Ilobln Hood. "I used
the long bow In Sherwood forest, and It
served mo well. It was but another step
toward tho perfect weapon held In your
hands."
"And my crossbow shall not be forgot
ten," rejoined the second hunter, "It was
the first practical step toward guns."
"Mountain 8chool" Lad Leads Class C.
Mark Sullivan, fifteen years of age,
lives In Poughkeepsle, N. Y., and at
tends tho "Mountain School'' In Ulster
county of tho samo state. Ills letter,
tho best in Class O, Is In part:
In a plensant valley of that country
which la sow called Franco there lived
before the era of the great Ice sheet a
clan ot cave men.
The only enemy of the clansmen was a
great saber tooth tiger, which had a cave
far up upon a mountain side. Uvery win
ter as the time approached for the tiger
to go south the men would keep an eagor
watch upon the cave, because when he
had gone they would enter and live there
during the colder months of the winter,
Saber Tooth returned unexpectedly.
A daring plan Instantly flashed Into the
mind of Strongarm, tho chief. The men
with their rude atone weapons would nev
er dare to attack the tiger, to Strongurm
ordered them to bring a large elk'a hide.
This he fashioned Into a bog, which was
filled with stones. He then cut a strong
oaken pole, and after putting a spear head
halfway down the shaft. Several men
helped carry his weapon to the tree under
which Saber Tooth was sleeping. Slowly
It was raised and poised above the sleep
ing tiger. The men retreated to the cave,
and then Strongarm cut the thong. Down
plunged the weighted shaft, pinning Sa
ber Tooth to the ground.
Big City Doy "D" Class Winner.
Macy F. Lanlce, of Day Shore, N. Y.,
aged 17, who was first In class D, saw
the literary and artistic side of the
book. Ho wrote:
The plot and style are the work of a real
author. Uninteresting details are made
vivid big, cumbersome guns of old
en times are Invested with romance, the
tedious stages of the advancement of civ
ilization from tho earliest ages are skill
fully Interwoven with the steps of the
steady advance of Ilemlngton arms and
the whole made to read like fiction.
Surely this coutcst has brought forth
from young America an unmistakable
denial of tho cbargo that our country
is deficient In letter writing ability.
Along with this denial has come a
wealth of matter that will give teach,
era, writers and even parents a new
appreciation of the wonder working
mind of youth. '
