Little Women.
My favorite book is "Little Women,'
written by Louisa May Alcott many
beginning because they always made
the best of things. They had little to
live on, but were always cheerful and
happy.
Another reason why I like this
book is the sacrificing helpfulness of
two of these girls when their father
was away at war. He became very
ill and a message was sent to Mrs
Marsh to come at once
All the girls
except Jo helped to get things ready
for Marmee, as they called their
mother. Instead she went off down
the street. The afternoon passed and
Jo came in bringing her mother
twenty-five dollars. They all asked
her where she had gotten the money
and the answer was taking off her
hat. Joe had beautiful hair and she
had gone to the barber shop and had
" cut and had sold it for twenty-five
dollars to send to her father.
Beth x was always helping others

mother was away with her

home and it was found that she had
scarlet fever. When she got over
this she wns never the same and two
or three years later she quietly passed
away.
Later Jo became a great author
and married a professor and then hal

The Man Without a Country.
The Man Without a Country is one
of the best stories in American liter-
tf,,! 8tory wi .hout valuing more
highly the country in which he lives.
The Man Without a Country tells
about a young officer who was in
dvced to turn traitor to his country
and how he wished that he might
duced him to turn traitor to his coun
try. Nolan was brought before the
courts in the great treason trial in
Richmond and proved guilty enough.
When the president of the court ask
ed him if he had anything to say that
Showed that he -had-Aeen faithful to
the United States! I wish I may never
hear the name again!
The judge was terribly shocked.
He called the court into a private
room and returned in fifteen minutes
with a face like a sheet to say "Pris
oner, the court decides you shall never
hear the name again."
From that moment, Sept. 23, 1807,
until the day he died, May 11, 1SC3, he
never heard the name again.
About the last words Philip Nolan
said were "Remember, hnv tbnt h.
hjnd officers and government and
people even, there is the country her
self, your country, and that you be
long to her as you belong to your
mother.
The reason this story is called the
Man Without a Country is because he
was exiled from it and had no rela
tions with it. I like this story because
it teaches everyone to hdnor his coun
try. HUGH STAMEY.
' Seventh Grade.
The Man Without a Country.
The Man Without a Country telis
about a man who is a traitor to his
country. It teaches one never to
curse his country because it will not
do any good. When Nolan came be
fore the court for doing wrong he
cried out: "Curse the United States!
I wish I may never hear the name of
the United States again!"
He should hae taken his punish
ment instead of cursing his country.
No country likes a traitor whether it
is for another country or not. Al
most the same case happened to
Benedict Arnold who turned traitor
to America and helped England, but
who lived to realize that even the
country he helped had no respect for
a traitor.
I like this book because it is very
interesting and about our own coun-
try. When a man is sent awav from I

When he said he didn't want to hear
of his country any more, his wish
was granted and he was put on a
ship and carried away where he could

When he was getting old and h's
time had almost come for him to die,
he regretted that he couldn't take

Nolan made a talk to a bov and
