ALEXANDER "Well boy, we're stuck." The farmer with whom Hunting Eye was riding climbed off his wagon and took hold of a wheel. The Indian Boy jumped down and, between the two of them, they helped the team pull the wypgon out of the hole. i "That's a rotten road" sald 'the farmer as they started on, "the com- missioners ought to see to fixing it" "Why are the commissioners sup- posed to take care of the road?" "Originally roads were private. Each person made and kept up his own just as he wanted them. But soon the state took over this work because it saw that a better system of roads could be worked out that way than by allowing each person to make his own. "Now the county usually takes care of the roads. e county commis- sioners usually decide when new roads | are to be laid out; old roads changed ; or important improvements made in them such as paving, etc. The ordi- nary upkeep and repair of the roads is usually under the control of Road Supervisors, one for each township either elected by the people of the township or appointed by the township trustees or the county commissioners. "These Supervisors either hire men to keep the roads in repain or require each man in the township to work on the roads for a certain length of time each year. Of course, the method of doing this work varies in different states but usually it is done about as I have described" "Why is this road we are on now so much better than the one where we got stuck?" "This is a state road. The state sometimes helps the counties to build roads between the larger cities. The re- uired to build this road on condition at the counties and townships raise the other half.

Betty had almost everything a lt- tle rich girl could think of, and yet she wasn't happy. She always want- || ed more, and the more she had the more she cried for.

The white snow began falling, and efore Betty could even think the ground was all white. "See now, I can't even go out and olay, I wish it wouldn't snow," and 1 frown settled on Betty's forehead.

In the Society Circle on Friday at- ternoon at 4.15 the two great cham- Dion teanis will be honored guests at & banquet given by the other girls. The two captains, Misses Fair and Moyse, will sit at the Head of the tables with thelr teams around them, This event will be the crowning fea- ture of the season. In spite of the rough weather the basketball teams of Vietorda School are still at their favorite sport of basketball, The captains are very busy drilling up their teams in order tobe ready for the championship games in the spring. Since the captains of the basket- ball teams are so intent on playing the game, their teams strongly ad- Vise them to go to the sunny south for a trip for the remainder of the winter and take their teams with them, as February is a great month for snow. The girls who play basketball in- tend to have a social in the kinder- garten room, Victoria School, %n January 24th, at which the gues will be the junior and senior cham pion teams. Miss Conley is now very busy ¢ollecting funds for the event. Dorothy Bushell, pan The Power of Niagara, The Niagara River pours over the falls 25,000,000 tons of water every hour. The power of Niagara is equal to the power that can be generated from all the coal that is taken from our mines every day. This is equal to 7,600,000 horse-power.--Jack Tweddell. ---------- How the Penknife Got Its Name. Pobably you have thought that the word penknife was a stange name for a knife. 'The name origninated when these knives were carried for the purpose of shaping the nibs of quill pens. The word pen is derived from "penna" meaning the wing of a bird. --Jack Tweddell. -------------- Grandpa's Boots. Tow the stars did snap that De- cember night. The moon was up, too, and how cold and white she look- ed. And how busy Jack Frost was. No one saw him swing a hammer, no one heard him drive a mail, but by the time morning had come he had laid right across the ponds and the river a floor of ive smoother than any floor ever laid down by the car« penters of Norridgewock. All the boys were vat sliding. Bd. Peet had come from over the river; Fred Danforth was there from the tavern; and George Sawtelle came running up from the big house under the willows, Others were there, too, slipping along on Jack Frosts's floor. Little Albert looked out of the window and saw the boys at their play. Why couldn't he go but teo? "Shall I go, mother?" he asked, "Your slippers are too thin, Al- bert." ! "Oh, boots." "All right, you can go, but be careful; you are too young for such rough sport." Off scampered the eager feet, and on went the big boots. A smile lit up the mother's eyes as she heard her little boy tramping over the floor in the big boots. The boys were I can put on grandpa's the three little sparrows into the Warm room. The sparrows had.a big notion to fly away, but when they saw Happy Giggles smiling behind Betty they nodded their little black heads and hopped into the room. "It certainly 1s kind of youn to in- vite us into your lovely warm house," chirped the first sparrow. "Indeed, it is," cried his partner. "Most folks would have shooed us away or thrown stones at us," chirp- ed the third sparrow. "But I guess you must be a very good little girl to want to share your fire with us." "Oh, no," laughed Betty, "I'm not ready to take all the blame, Happy "Those Poor Little Sparrows!" Giggles was just feeling sorry for you when you happened to Hght on our window sill." e three sparrows chirped mer. rily and hopped over mear the fire "How lovely it must be to live in nice warm quarters like this said one little sparrow to his "Yes, inded, ho be," joined the % sparrows, "One never knows how well off he finds some one less fortu- taking thelr turh at sliding. Away down at the end of the line stood Albert. They were siding carefully; not running too hard, for a little way out the fce was thin. "I'll beat those big, clumsy boys," said Albert, when his turn came. Taliing a long run, and driving ahead with all his force, he shouted, "Now ®ee your grandpa go." And sure enough grandpa's boots went on and on, where the ice was thin, and down went Albert into the water, The watar, fortunately, was not deep, and he was ont again in a moment, dripping like an ielcle in a January thaw. I can hear the boys lanehing and T seem to see the smile lighting up the mother's brown eves still more merrily when her little boy came home. Albert never forgot it, and in after years he would say, Whenever I feel inclined to show off, I think of Grandpa's boots." --Reggie Patterson, aged 10 years. ---------- Victoria Hockey News, The Victorfa hockey team is be- ginning to shgpe up, and promises to give all the other teams a great battle. Owing to exams being held all last week, practice was delayed, but now that we have more time to devote to sport we are making good progress. We are negotiating with 8t."

The team is managed by Robert Thompson, with Studrt Aitken as captain and William Patterson as mascot. The players are: Goal, Miller Douglas; defence, George Beedie and Stuart Aitken; forwards, Herbert Skelton, Robert Thompson and Harold Buck; spares, Lloyd Goodman and Fred Dupre.--Miller Douglas. The Mouse and the Elephant, Once upon a time there was a lit- tle mouse who tried to learn all he could. Now, sorry to say, he was a great braggart, and he was always boasting of what he could do. One day he heard one wise old rat say to another, that out in the jungle where the elephant comes from there are littie animals about the same size as themselves. When the elephant coms to eat, he sometimes steps on the Httle animals' home. Then they become so frightened that they ran up the elephant's trunk and the more he tried to blow them out, the more firmly they attached themselves to his flesh. The elephant, unable to breathe would soon die. The mouse heard all this,.and he thought, "I'm not going to be scared of an elephant now." One day a circus came to town and the mouse said to his companions, "Come on down to the circus." They all agreed and without any delay went off. It was now about midnight and they crept under a canvas tent. In it was a lone elephant. When the mouse saw this, he chuckled and said, "You stay here and watch me seare him." He did not ltke running up his trunk, but instead he ran'all It is never safe to start on an all day hike when a storm is Shreatening, but often a gray day Tedlainy only ay and nothing happens--then, again, §ray am In yh weather take a rain- coat or a poncho with you 'nd, unless your shoes are waterproof, oil -the soles and the uppers, ankle high, with MELTED MUTTON TALLOW.
