PAGE POUR ‘HIGH” LIFE, JANUARY 14, 1921. THE LOST PURSE It was two weeks before Christinas. An old lady was hurrying down the village street to buy a few Christmas presents for her three grandchildren. Ae shs hurried along she tripped over a small object lying on the sidewalk. She stooped over to pick it up and saw that it wa.s a purse. She opened it and found it to contain twenty-five dollars. On the out side was a name, N. J. Wood. She hap pened to know the man and where he lived. The old grandmother immediately changed her course and ^et out for Cedar street. When she reached Mr. Wood’s home, she rang the doorbell and a servant took her in. She asked to see the master. The master soon came down. She showed him the purse. After her explanation, he asked, “Madam, what do you wish?” ‘ ‘ Only a little money for presents for my grandchildren,” she replied. Mr. Wood said, “Wait until Christmas.” As the old lady left Mr. Wood said in a whisper, ‘ ‘ I must give the old lady and her grandchildren a nice Christmas.” To weeks passed quickly and soon Christ mas morning came. . The three children arose earlier than usual. As they peeped into the sitting room they uttered an exclamation of joy. “Oh, what a lovely doll,” cried Mary. “Gee, what a dandy gun,” screamed Jimmie. “Santa sure brought me some drum,” said John. “What a lovely tree Santa has brought us,” cried all three children together. The grandmother came down as soon as she got dressed. “Santa Glaus treated you fairly well this year,” said the grandmother. “Fine,” cried all the children at once. Stanley Sturra, 7th Grade. Mai-y had a Latin book With pages white as sjiow, And everywhere that Mary went The book was sure to go. It followed her in school one day. Which was not against the rule; But Mary never looked at it.

This sentence was given to a class to parse on an examination: “Mary milks the cow.” The last word was disposed of by one of the pupils as follows: “Cow is a noun, third person, and stands for Mary.” “Stands for Mary?
