THE DAUNTLESS ELEVEN
By Margaret Keenan Harrais
eont. from l ist week
S iturday mornings Freddie
earned his money hailing water
from the river, on the opposite
side of the town, to fill my water
barrel, ana wood from the shed
to stack on the porch within
easy reach. Bunched together
his conversations with old Bobbie
his sled dog, would read some
thing iike this: “Mush along,
Bobbie! Every one else is at
work, and we must not fall
down on our part. Yes, it’s cold,
old boy. 1 got my mittens wet
when 1 dipped up the water,
and now they are frozen stiff,
and we must still get in enough
wood to last a week, but we’ve
got to see the little girl through.
Ted is delivering groceries for
the store, and 1 saw Beanie
shaking a dust cloth on the
side porch. That’s the way she
earns her money. Hi! get along
there! Frank and Leonard will
have oil tile Oisen wood and
water in before you get started.
It is so cold unit 1 guess Verna
will have to earn her fifteen
cents entertaining Moily'O in
doors today. Bud looked like a
little teakettle puffing while
steam out of his face as iie trott
ed uown to the postoffice for
that lady; but she gave him
tii't.y cents for going, so we can’t
blame him for not helping us
tans time. Marian has tile nicest
job of all, just deriving a few
hours for Mrs. b iyuer. Jirls
always get tne soli, jobs, but 1
wouldn't want to oe one*; would
you Bobbie'r Janus was piling
wood as We cano by--nothing
i
very soft about that; and even
the little Ahrens girls are wash
ing dishes and filling the wood
box at three cents per. Mush
along, Bobbie,”
Wiiea the snow swept down
iro n Kennecott Glacier with a
blinding furry, the little group
around lue stove at recess found
deep pleasure in the fact mat
‘Out little girl is warm, too.’’
Wuen fruit and candy weiv be
ing shared by all, eyes turned
to me picture on t he wall and
some one would say, “Our utile
girl has enough to eat, too.” Our
little girl ti ui.\ rounded out tiie
dozen of Irish, Polish, Norwegiai ,
German, Canadian, English, Uus
sian, and Armenian parentage
in a bond of love on which the
Heaven l.y Father must have sunl
ed in benediction.

Baby Mar wood, Jr
By Mariane Wiils
Mr. Marwood cannot print |
much about the baby and still j
be modest, so we decided at;
school to write a whole paper
full for him. Mi’s, tiai rais let us
all go over at recess to see. the j
baby. Most boys pretend not to j
like babies, but our boys shot j
out of the door ana ran all the
way over to the house.
When we went in, lie was
lying in a beautiful basket lined
with dainty blue silk. His little
blue and white coverlets went
veiy nicely with his little basket.
He looked at us as if we
were queer looking objects. His
big blue eyes got larger and lar
ger as he looked at us. Then lie
started kicking; and say if I
could kick as fast as he did, I’d
be the champion kicker of the
whole U. S.

Ho looked just likt a dainty
>illl<j rosebud as lie lay there. He
got so sleepy and hungry that
oir> eyelids anally closed. He
has big blue eyes, brown hair
which is curly, and when we
saw him lie looked like a little
kewpie.
When Leonard and Frank
saw him they said, “Gee! he’s
uvv juI small. Look at his hands
an’ feet!” Yes, he was small. A
tiny little body with tiny hands
and feet, that made you feel
like an elephant in comparison.
When you put your hand by
iiis, yours looks like a piece of
dog meat.
1 think the baby looks like
both Mr. and Mrs. Mar wood. He
has Mrs. Mar wood’s eyes and
mouth. Yet there is a look about
the lace that resembles Mr. Mar
wood.
What would be a good name
for “Mickey?” That is his name
until he gets a “sticker.” Well
how about Gene, Clyde, or what
do you sa„\ to naming him after
his dad? Make a regular Junior
of him. Let’s not name him any
of the following, tho, they’re so
sissified; for instance, Ethelbert,
Percival, Isadore, Launcelot, or
Reginald.
When I look at a dainty
little baby, it makes me feel like
an ox. I feel so clumsy and awk
ward, I hate to move. Yet when
I see how helpless they are, I
think I’d do anything to save
them from any harm.
I think babies are the most
wonderful things on earth. You
can buy diamonds and other
precious stones, but you can’t
buy babies. They are priceless*
