A Driving Party, At seven o'clock on Friday even ing, some of the boys and girls of Cataraqui school met at the school and walted for the sleigh. At 7.30 it came along and we got on it and were shouting and laughing and the party started. Lyford Johnson got up the party. After about an hour's driving we went to Mrs. Scrutton's bouse and played all kinds of games and then Mrs. Serutton served re- freshments. Then we played some more games and at 10 o'clock some went home but others stayed until 10.30. We all had a good time and we hope Mrs. Scrutton will invite us again~--James Kirkwood, age 12 years. An English Choir Boys' Outing. We had to get up at six o'clock to leave at seven, we had to go sixteen miles in a char-gbanc to the place. Soon as we got in to -the country we saw German prisoners planting pota- toes. When we came to the Hotel where we were going to stay we had our dinner, some of the boys drank beer and it made them sick, the clergyman asked them what was the matter, they said, coming along in the car made them sick. After we had our dinnér wa went to see the White Horse carved in chalk that King Alfred had made for a remembrance "of the big battle against the Danes. Then we went to 'see' a cave; the old peasant told us that years ago if a man was riding by one his horse and a shoe came off he could put a sixpence in a little dent in the rock, leave his horse there and go away, by the .time he came back his horse's shoe would be put on again. Then we went to a big stone, we could blow through a hole In the stone it would make a noise like a fog-horn. It is said that King Alfred used it. A very tired party of boys we were on the home journey at dusk.--Charles Stanley, aged 13. Notre Dame Convent. The Story of a Lead Pencil. I am now an old lead pencil chew- ed at one and worn off at the other. My green paint is all gone and I am thrown into a corner of the desk. I was first cut from an oak tree. I was put into a machine and made round. A man bored a hole through me and poured led graphite into me. Then they painted me green and put a brass tip with a rubber on one end and a nice point on the ¢ther end. I was then packed away in a box and sent to a stationery store. When the lid was taken off, I was put on the third shelf. 1 was very DApRR. UD thefe watch- ing the people going and in. Some bought cigars and candies and at last a school boy bought me.

Breakfast was over, and Jack, Tina and Betty gathered around Mamma. Jack and Tina both hugged and kissed their mother and told her how they loved her. Betty was a quiet little girl and had not much to say. Jack took his cap and scampered to the garden swing. He knew there was coal to get and buckets of water to carry. Mamma had ali this to do. Tina fretted and fussed the whole day. Mamma was glad when she went to play. While mother was busy in the kit- chen, Betty took the broom and swept the floor and dusted the room. After that she minded the baby while Mamma rested an hour. 'When night came, do you suppose me, I'm afraid a house Hke Mrs Snail"s would never suit my purpose." "A house is a house, isn't it 7" snapped Johnny Hoppy Toad. "Just a covering for one's head.

Vincent's 'Academy. The Thistle of Scotland. The Danes were never so happy as when harrassing the Scots. They would cross over the stormy sea when least expected and kill, steal and burn. Once however they failed. It was during the reign of Mal- colm the First. The Danes had hid- den in the caverns of the east coast of Scotland near to the enemy's base of supplies, and waited patiently for a favorable time for an attack. The Scots were in a large fortress sur- rounded by a moat, that was often filled with water,--it was not thi time, The night for which the invaders had been looking came. It was Thistles, thistles, the whole moat was full of thistles. The men yelled with pain for the thistles pricked their bare feet and legs. rr The garrison was aroused and soon the Danes with smarting feet and arrows raining upon them heat a hasty retreat to their boats. Thus the Scots chose the thistle as their emblem and to-day, the motto of the Knights of the Thistle is, "No one assalls me with impunity,"--- Nora O'Connor, Junior Fourth. - Why?

I togk off my boots, tied them together and hung them up. My skates were soon on and I went off to the ice, At five o'cloek I came in to exchange boots and go home, To my surprise my boots were not where I had left them. Some of the girls helped me to look for them but no, boots of mine could be found. The caretaker was toll and he, too, joined in the search for the run-a-away boots but without success. There was a pair unclaimed hang- ing up but they were too small for me. What was I to do? There was no alternative I would have to go home "You don't seem to know just what we spiders build webs for," laughed Mrs. Busy Spider. "It isn't only to hide our heads or as a covering for our bodies that we build these webby houses." "Then what in the world do you waste your time on such a frall thing for?" asked Johnny Hoppy Toad.

Then he encouraged the boys by sa ing that it was one of the best tricks for exer- cise that there was.
