..THUKSPAY, JANUARY 20, 1927 THE HEKALD, MONMOUTH, OREGON PAGE THRES JUNIOR HI-TOYS VOLUMK 2 NUMHKK It HOOK KKI'OKT The Three Hook I Uke Heat and Why By Laura Embrcc "Muck UeauUy," "Undo Tom' Cabin," and "Thu Two Littlo Confed erate" are among thu books I like best. I think It is because in each of thi'xu books there In a aimilnr thought worked out, and that la, suf fering humanity. While it la true "lllnck' Beauty" Ik only tho atory of horse, still that horse had ao many'noblu wuyi about him that ha' acorn almost human. "Mark Beauty", written a long Hint) ago by Anna Sewoll, ia the story of a moat interesting horao whoso nnniB gives tho book ita title. ()ne of the moat touching im iilenta In the book la tho atory of tho time when lllnck Beauty's miittrcKH was very ill. It waa necessary in those iluya to go lotiif distances, sometimes, for a doctor. At a great speed though with grout effort, Black beauty made the Journey thut aavod tho life of hia miatreaM. l'oor Bluck Beauty, how ever, nearly lost his owit life, be cuumo ho was not rocrly blanketed when he returned, steaming with per spiration. With tho loving care of hia friemlM, hia life was nlao suved. Thia atory tenches one to have the anme ftwling for animala as ho doea for folk. I'ncle Tom'a Cabin Thia atory has for ita sotting, Southern plunUtion life, juat previous to tho civil war. Some reader have aaid that tho atory la overdrawn, but even ao, Harriet Boucher Stowe, by mouna of this book made many people work for tho freedom of tho alaves. Thorn are both aad and happy inci dent in the book. One of tho auddeat ia tho atory of the timo when Uncle Tom seeing a negro 'woman out in the field trying to pick cotton, al though too ill to do ao, filled her bas ket from his own. This was told of by another negro who wa favored by the stern master, Ix'gree. There upon Legroo ordered Undo Tom . to whip tho woman whom he had helped. Undo Tom refused. Then tho cruel Legreo whipped poor old Unco Tom unmercifully. Bleeding and suffering greatly, Uncle Tom lay in a dismal old shod, with the old negro whom ho hud helped, attending him. Finally the death angel relieved his sufferings. Doparf incut ul Ariivit iea The Two Little Confederates Thomas Nelson Page, who is also the author if "Among the Camps", knew how to write about children. His understanding of child life is shown alno in "Tho Twq Little Con federates." This is story of the Civil War. Frank and Willy were the two littlo t confederate brothers. They had been acnt to the Yankee lines to tako a message to a brother. They wcro captured by a Yankee Cor poral. He tried to scare them. He even took Frank up on his saddle and carried him to a tree, saying he would shoot Frank if he didn't tell. Frank wouldn't say a word. . Tho corporal then bound him to a tree. Frank begged him to loosen his hands so he might 'say his prayers. This the Yankee did. The little boy fainted. When he came to he found himself seated on the corporal's lap. "Where is Willyf" was his first question. "Where am It" "Am I shot?" The corporal said that Willy was safe, and that Frank was too brave a boy to be shot. He aaid they would both be returned to their own camp. Each of these stories carries the same thought of suffering humanly even if it is just a horse, or a poor old slave, or a brave little boy. I like to have feelings like this, that is why I liked these books. ..More Buttons for Health Crusaders.. Thirtysix children of tho 3rd and 4th grade Health Crusade were awarded - buttons for achievement. There will probably be as many Knight Bannerets, by the end of the term. . M.

One of our new boys remarked: "Oh, this should be called 'Umbrella Town'". This incident was the inspiration for tho following poem. I love to sit beside the brook, With fishing rod and line and hook, And far, far up in yonder sky, I love to see the swallows fly. Or else to sit beneath the trees. And feel the breath of cooling breeze, These to me are all great joys That make happy, girls and boys. To Poison Or, Not to Poison? I MBRKLLA TOWN by M. J. Oh, this 'is Umbrella Town, for Nearly every day one sees, Dancing neath' the Normal trees, Umbrellas red, yellow or brown, Bobbing up, or bobbing down. A green one here, a purple there; As gay as tho ribbon you buy at the fair. Some are spotted, others plain; Some are checkered and some insane;-! They're held so close when the storm winds blow, Their owners know not where they go. You try to dodge, but all in vain. But then, 'twill not always rain. And if it does, there's little amiss, A little miss, under tho umbrella, . When you're struck like this. 8 PR IN G by Philip Dodds Of all tho seasons I like best, Is Spring in all her loveliness. Sho brings us many forms of cheer. From day to day or year by year. I love to hear the birds that sing, And feel the" joy they always bring. To see the flowers in lovely bloom, That soon will brighten up my room. 7 V 1 Km mmtmmtM Congress is in a -battle of the century, all its own, over the gov ernment's policy of poisoning alco hol.
