MORE ABOUT A NEWSPAPER
Dear Children You rememher my talking to you about a newspaper
I wonder how many of you can guess what there is about a newspaper which
resembles the human body?
Perhaps the doctor has come to see you some time and has said to your
mother: "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! His circulation is very poor."
Well, dear children, a newspaper has a circulation just the same as you
havo and if it were not for the circulation the paper would not live. No
matter how beautiful the articles in the newspaper might ho or how "newsy"
they might be, the paper could not live without its circulation any more
than you could.
Tho circulation depends upon you and thousands and thousands of others
who like one newspaper better than another. If everybody liked the same
newspaper there would not be any fun in the newspaper world, becauso then
there would be no competition. It would be jii3t liko going to school all
by yourself ami that would not be any fun.
Another wonderful thing about the circulation at a newspaper is the
small boy who bells the newspapers. Terhaps sonic of you know how many
great men we havo who formerly were newsboys.
Have you ever stopped to think what color a newspaper is? It is black,
white ami read, and some papers arc called "yellow," because .there is an
idea of rush about them.
When you sec a freight car painted yellow you will know that car must
be rushed ami tho idea of the yellow newspaper is that it is all excitement
and rush.
I will talk to you again about a newspaper.
Oh, yes, and I will also talk to you about a cat and a cow, by request.

when I reached Iho trees ho was racing
madly up it, hand over hand.
Ho had almost reached tlio lowest
branch ot tho tree from which tho
creeper depended when tho thing parted
beneath hi weight and he fell sprawling
at my feet.
Tho misfortune, now wns no longer
amusing, for tho beast was already too
close to us for comfort. Seizing Perry
by tho shoulder t dragged him to his
feet, and rushing to a smaller tree ono
that ho could easily enclrclo with his
arms and legs-I boosted him ns far up
as 1 could, nnd then left him lo his fate,
Tor a glnneo over my shoulder revealed
Iho awful beast nlmoit upon me.
It wns tho great size of tho thing alone
Hint saved me. Its enormous bulk ren
dered It too slow upon Us feet to cono
with tho agility of my voting muscles,
and so t was enabled lo dodge out of Its
way and run completely behind It beforo
Its slow wits could direct It In pursuit.
Tho few seconds of graco Hint this
gave mo found mo safely lodged In the
blanches ot n trco a few paces from
that In which Perry hnd nt last found a
haven.
13ld I say safely lodged? At tho time
I thought we were rmlte safe, nnd bo
did Perry.
Ho was praying raising his volco In
thanksgiving nt our ilellvcr.ince-nnd had
Just completed a sort of paean ot grati
tude Hint the thing couldn't climb a
tree, when, without warning, It reared
up beneath him on Its enormous tall nnd
hind feet, and reached those fearfully
armed paws qulto to the branch Upon
which ho crouched.
Tho accompanying ronr wa3 nil but
drowned In Perry's scream ot fright, and
ho was like to havo tumbled headlong
Into the gaping Jaws beneath him, so
preclpltnto was his Impetuous haste to
vacato tho dangerous limb. It was with
a deep sigh ot relief that I saw him
reach forth and gain a higher branch In
safety.
And then tho brute did that which frozo
us both anew with horror. Orasplng the
treo's stem with his powerful paws ho
dragged down with all tho great weight of
his hugo bulk nnd nil tho Incslstlblc forco
of thoso mighty muscles.
Slowly but surely tho stem began to
bend toward him. Inch by Inch ho worked
his paws upward ns tho tieo leaned moro
and more from tho perpendicular. Perry
clung chnttcrlng in a panic of terror.
Higher nnd higher Into the bending nnd
swaying tree ho clnmbercd. Jioro and
moro rapidly wns the treetop Inclining
townrd tho ground.
I saw now why tho gioat biulo wns
armed with such enormous paws. Tho uso
that ho was putting them to was pre
cisely that for which naturo had Intended
them. Tho slothliko crcaturo was
herbivorous, and to feed that mighty cor
cass entire trees must be stripped of
their foliage.
Tho leason iar !'s attacking us might
easily be accounted for on Hie supposi

which the lloreo nnd stupid rhinoceros
of Afilcii possesses.
nut these weio Inter lellectlons. At
tho moment 1 was too frantic with ap
prehension on Perry's behalf to consider
aught other than a means to save him
from tho death that loomed so close.
rtenlUing that I could outdistance the
clumsy bruto In the open, I dropped from
my leafy sanctuary intent only on dis
tracting tho thing's nttcntlon from Perry

As I touched the ground I snatched ft

lo cxtricato myself.
A fallen log gave me an Instant's i

to another a few paces fnitlicr on, nnd
In this way was nblo to keep clear of
the mush that cnipetcd tho surrounding i

necessitated was plnclng such a henw

Suddenly from behind I heaid a tumuli

My mammoth enemy was so closo by
this tlmo that I knew I must feel the

did not fall upon me.
Tho howling and snapping and barking
of the now clement which hnd been in

quite closo behind mo. and as I raised my
self upon my hands and glanced around I
saw what It was that had distracted tho
"dyryth." as I afterward learned thu thing
Is called, fiom my trail.
It was surrounded by a pack ot some
hundred wolf liko creatines wild dogs
they seemed that lushed ginwllng and
snapping In upon It fiom all sides, so
that they sank their whlto fangs Into Hie

"How's that?" said Mrs. Cow, nerv
ously. "Wo eat up the bugs," said Willie.
"Besides, I do not think you amount
to very much, as it is."
"You are entirely wrong," answered
Mrs. Cow. "What would the babies
do without me?"
"That is just what I wanted you
to say," replied Willie, "for I want
11 little milk for my supper."
"Suppose you come around milking

"All right," said Willie, "and I

musses ot cumulus poked drowsy heads
over tho horkon and watched them run.
Out ot the dome ot heaven llltered a
single trill ot bong.
Tho Hill was ery still, but presently
from far away on the West "Lake road
camo the whinny of a horso; a little later,
a little nearer, a peal of laughter; then
tho sound of wheels and chattering voices.
A wagonette two spring wagons and a
pony cart burst from Long lane and
wheeled right and loft. They were full of
grown-ups turned young for a day and
jouths that thought thoy would be young
forever.
Tho wagonette, swinging down the road
toward Maplo House, suddenly swerved
and plowed through tho tall grass. Alan
and Clem on the end seats wero almost
thrown out. Alan looked back at tho rnad
and stared. A fat donkey hud claimed the
right of way and held It. Several lengths
o( legs stuck out from her bulging sides.
Pehliul her hurtled a panting nurse.

that donkey everj day for weeks."
"No." Riild Alan, -this Is this llrst tlmo

that climbed and climbed till the tip of

"I wanta pink nightcap."

Hill had gone to bed.
From Maplo IIouso Alan slipped out to
smoko a last cigar. Ho hesitated a
moment and then strode through tho
long glass laden with seed and Just deck
ing Itself with dewy Jewels for the night.
Ho crossed to Hie old church. Tho door
was open. He cntcied and climbed tho
crumbling stairs to thu belfry. Ho
Jumped Into ono ot the arches and Bat

His ryes wandered slowly over the
familiar scene. From behind their trees
Maplo House, The Firs nnd Elm House
blinked up at him dreamily. Before them
ran tho ribbon of road, white under moon

world. Up nnd down tho road before

J. Y. had said and ho hnd answered, "Yes,

back.
Alan's wandering eyi s Fettled on Maple
House.
"Hven n3 a hen gathereth her chickens

And then the peace of homo descended
upon him. On his scarred spirit ho felt
tho touch of the healing hands of home.
Its sweetness nnd Its power. Its love ever

nt his waking heart and found tho door
open. Far. far had ho wandered In tho
