The Boy Scouts' Victory
by George DurstonNickell-Wheelerson never did come back. But that is another story. There were a lot of poor marks made that afternoon. With the two most popular fellows in the school going off, there couldn’t be much studying. Everybody tried to help, and everybody got in the way and had to be stepped over or pushed over.

Hoppy Toad Tales
by William A. HennesseyHoppy Toad was a wee bit of a toad who had only recently seen the light of day. One day he strayed away from his home—a hole in the ground, at the roots of a tree.

Lady Rum-Di-Doodle-Dum's Children
by S. B. DinkelspielThe Dictionary says that a Preface is something spoken before. Usually it gives the author an opportunity to talk about himself. Some authors talk very much, especially about themselves, in their Preface.

by Students of YaleGreat men are always simple—strikingly so; simple in their thoughts and feelings, and in the expression of them. Nor is this an unimportant characteristic. For to one who reflects how few artless men there are—how much there is that is factitious, in the character of almost every one whom he meets; most of all, in the character of those who ape thi..

by Students of YaleThere is a tendency to regard the commotions of society, which have taken place of late years, as the results of modern diplomacy, or of notions concerning human rights, which have received birth and risen to their present vigor within the last fifty years. Hence, it is argued, there is a liability to reaction. The bright lights may go out, and des..
