| Show lor tia CHILDREN timpy print a at wayne kab are two little girls lela tucker and nellie dearborn who print twice a month a very little magazine called the fortnightly acla and nellie are not yet thirteen years old yet they own print and publish this magazine without any help it all started with the S bome three years ago of a printing press to dearborn for two years however tho press lay in a corner of tle woodshed but one day when nellies money had been all spent for ice cream soda candy and other good tasting things she thought of a plan to secure more why not get out the old printing press with its supply of type and print a magazine it would only be necessary she thought to get four or five subscribers and the money could be spent for tho sweets tho usual discouragements discourage ments came ot course but a good friend helped them and both little girls say that the very proudest and happiest moment of their lives was that u which they saw tho first printed paga of their magazine of course the first page had a very sad appearance but the girls kept right on the next trouble was the lack of type so when they had set page they had to print all the copies of it that they needed and then distribute the type that Is put each letter back into its own little box in the case before the next page coulch be printed there were other discouragements discourage ments too it seemed as if the type always would fall just as they were la a hurry perhaps because they were la a hurry and then they felt so bad that go home feeling as if they never wanted to enter the office again ane day especially they were at work on abo very last page of tho edition and ejust putting the type on the press when it all fell to the floor and pled and a pi in a newspaper Is a hopeless mess the tour or five subscribers soon grew into the hundreds until last year they had a list of and a balance in tho treasury of 9 with expectations of making another 3 clear before vacation closed instead of the money going freely tor peanuts candy too cream soda and gum this experience with the printing press really made them anxious to savo their money they write all of the stories themselves and they do it together one adding a line or a thought and then the other it has turned put to be something more than an for the editors and they have developed an ambition to make their magazine better each time M johnny on the the ostrich is the largest of the feathered specie he and stately but not graceful ostriches are raised on farms and can bo seen for 15 cents which must be paid to the man at tho entrance to the farm who will then permit you to enter there Is much ignorance prevailing about the ostrich this makes it necessary for a man to stand up in front af the farm and use loud and forcible language to get people to step inside and see these interesting birds the ostrich has a large appetite lie will devour corn nails watches turnips or any similar article that 19 placed before him he Is not good to you are very hungry ostrich feathers do not look as nice when you be them growing on the ostrich as when they are neatly placed on a bat when an ostrich Is pursued in his native jungle he sticks his head down in the sand this makes him look like sparse and stunted vegetation and he escapes I 1 know whole lot of other things about ostriches but I 1 am
