This one 1s better than any he can find: down town. Got the idea from Mr. Hyde's article on 'How to Make a Bobsled.' "Then, here is an indoor flower box that Chuck Moore is going to buy for a present to his mother. She has been wanting one for a long time. Got that idea out ofione of Mr, Hyde's articles, too.

Winter Sport. - One evening last winter a crowd of boys went out sleigh-riding, We were going down the Ordnance street hill 'when a lady came out of her nome and sald it we did go away she would call the police We did not pay much attention to her, and kept going until about nine o'clock. When we were taking our last ride for the night & policeman cameyrun- ning out of the G.T.R. freight sheds and started to run after us. We took to our heels just in time, for another "cop" was coming down Wellington street. We never went there again last winter, but this year we won't be afraid, for that old lady has mov- ed out and a' kind lady lives in her house.--Franeis O'Reilly, senior third. on ---- | A Trip Through the Adirondacks. On July 7th, 1919, our trip through the Adirondack Mountains. We left Kingston at six- thirty in the morning on the steamer Mississiquoi, and reached Cape Vin- cent two hours later. We left there in an automobile and reached*Malone the same night. There we put up at a hotel called "The Flanagan." We left there the next day about noon, and reached Saranac Lake the same evening. From Saranac Lake wo went on to Elizabethtown and had lunch the next day at the Deer's Head Inn there. By night we had reached 'Saratoga Springs, and stay- ed the night in a la¥ge hotel there. We left next morning, iptending to &0 on to Utica, but we ran into a big storm and had to stop at Little Falls. Next day we went on to Syracuse, where we spent a very pleasant week with relatives. At the end of that time we took a shorter route to Cape Vincent, where we agailn board- ed the Mississiquol and reached Kingston in two hours' time.--Archie McDonald, senior third. A Skating Party. On Monday morning, December 1st, all the boys of St. Mary's school went skating on Caton"s pond. We had a splendid time at first, and played hockey vigorously, but soon a great many more boys got on the fce and there was some exeitement. The fce was not strong enough to support us all, and it began to crack, but we kept on playing until it gave way in a few places. Then suddenly one of the boys fell into the pond up to his neck. We managed to get him out with a hockey stick, and he made oft for home at a run Later two more boys fell in, but only up to their waists, and they were easily saved. A few others got a little duck- ing, but the first three were the worst. A few of them were confined 'to bed for a couple of days, and oth- ers got severe colds, but ne doubt they all gof warmed. up with a razor strop when they réached home. I think fit is far better to wait till {he skdting rinks open up than to take an ice-cold bath at this time of the year.--Leonard Guirey, senior third. Little Jack. It was Christmas Eve and little Jack was coming home from choir practice. He was a poor little boy, listened to the others talking about turkey and other good things. As he passed. the church steps he saw a little poorly clad lad lying there asleep. He took off his own shoes and placed them beside the sleeping boy and ran home. When he got there he was scolded for giv- ing his shoes away, and told that If Santa Claus put anything in his stocking it would very likely be a switch. The next morning he woke up and heard his aunt give a shout. He went down stairs and saw the fireplace full of toys, candy and "ruit all for him; so he was glad af- ter all that he had given his shoes to the poor little boy.--aAllen Pilley, senior third. What We Would Like, We are sure that incidents of in- terest are happening 'in the city schools every day, and we are syre that the readers gf the School Bri- tish Whig would like to know about adian forces, are assisting in per- petuating this historic day. In far away Canada you will read with pleasure that this most hospit- able part of Belgium will never for- get the debt she owes to us. In a speech Mourgmestre Lescarts, of Mons, paid a glowing tribute to the Allied arms, and he said that his fel low citizens' would never forget the entry of the Canadians. For fifty- one months they had been subjected to an rule, and then offe morn- mg they arose to find that they were liberated ,and by sons of the British Empirée--Canadians from far across the seas.--To-day we celébrate, the first anniversary of this ha py - de liverance and we look upon the Can- adians as our brothers, as well as our liberators. We 'have already organ- ized our committees to care for and attend to the 'graves of those who fell on the field of honour, and we will each year commemorate in simi. their defiveeagee, and {lar manner, this day, the most his- 0 nada, toric in the annals of our. ancient emorative fete was ors ! imilar fashion to the pre- events of one year ago--com- n on the ight of the loth by 'gathering of citizens and marches land parades to welcome the entry of the allied and Canadian contingents, But this was m ly. the beginning, and on the two follow demonstration developed.

The stories written by the school children are being greatly appreciat- ed by the readers of the School Bri- tish Whig, and we thank the children for their industry in writing them. We would like, however, to have a few more stories of what is happen- ing from day to day in the various schools. Here is an idea for some of owr budding journalists. A snow storm is no bar to the aec- tivities of the Victoria school girls' basketball teams. They can be seen hard at play nearly every day, no matter what the weather is like, The Victoria school boy who said that the government was very slow about important things evidently considers that the cadet corps play a big part in education. And he i8 not far wrong, for these corps have done splendid work in building np We started onthe young manhood of Canada. The Christmas holidays will' soon be here.

I think the scholars in school should be told a little more about the Public Library. I was talking to a friend a few days ago about it, and I asked him why he did not get a free ticket. He said he thought it was necessary to have a juvenile ticket. That is not so.' You do not need to have a juvenile ticket to get a free one. There are rows and rows of interesting books on all subjects, and lots of adventure stories. On Saturday mornings at ten o'clock in a very interesting story hour at the library. Mrs. Kennedy tells some fine stories. .Besides being a great belp to the boys. amd girls, this will be a great help to the mothers, who do not always want 'to take the children with them when they sre doing their Christmas shopping. -- Frank Fraser, aged 12 years. > School News, The little friends and playmateg of Master Walter Lowry, 259 Montreal street, will be sorry to learn that he is confined to hospital, suffering from scarlet fever and diphtheria."

Central school was saddened on Wednesday by the death in Hotel Dien Hospital of a little junior first pupil, Cecil Carman, son 6f Mr. and Mrs. Walter Carman, of 279 Mont-~ real street. He was a bright and Happy little lad, and will be greatly missed by his teacher and school- mates, who extend sympathy to the parents in their sad bereavement. (Con.) ' A Coming Central School Event. The pupils of Central school are preparing for a concert to be held in the kindergarten room during the last week in this school term. The programme will include choruses, part songs, drills, reeitations, and vocal and instrumental solos. Par- ents and friends of the pupils are re-. quested to watch the School British Whig for another announcement, so that they may avail themselves of the opportunity of observing the tal- ent possessed by some of Kingston's juveniles.--(Con.) ---- An Adventure With a Bear.

Then they in- vented percussion caps made of a substance, like the head of a match, which would catch fire when struck. "Finally someone thought of a cart- ridge--a little brass cylinder in whic the powder, wad, and bullet could be placed and rammed in advance. explode the powder; he placed a per- cussion cap in the rear end of the cartridge so that you could strike it with the gun hammer.
