me JOURNAL JUNIOR. Mae 'Harris Anson The Journal Junior is pubUsned by The Minneapolis Journal for thepublic schoolchildren of the Northwest, In and above the fifth grade, and is devoted, principally to their own writing. There is no. expense attached and all are welcomed as competitors. The editor wishes to encourage correspondence and suggestions from teachers.

All correspondence should be addressed to the Editor Journal Junior. 6e Winner of he Scholarship. ZULA BOTTENFIELD, A Seventh Grade, Madison School, has won the scholarship offered in connection with the work in-the Junior advertising department, and is entitled to four months' instruction at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. i As was announced at the beginning, these scholarships are awarded wholly upon the artistic merit of the designs, irrespective as to what makes the best advertisement: All things considered Miss Bottenfield's work best filled the requirements, although the work of Esther Chapman and Thomas H. Foley is deserving of special mention.

The work generally has been unusually good. In several has been a very noticeable gain in these few months, both in draughtsmanship and understanding of what makes a good advertisement. The editor has from time to time, received festers showing the strong interest the designers and the public are taking in the work, and altogether the department, seems to have made a place for itself with all Junior readers, and workers. The second scholarship will be awarded May 9. HE year has been a remarkable one in several aspects.

It has seen unusual accidents by fire and collision, with the death roll mounting into the hundreds, and in addition there was the greatest volcanic eruption that the world has ever known. Death also removed several shining marks, among them Thomas B. Reed, Cecil Rhodes, Lord Pauncefote, Zolarthe great French novelist and Krupp, of the great family-of gfunmakers. King Edward's illness upon the very eve of his coronation startled the world quite as much as any of the great catastrophes. On the other there have been distinct gains in scientific and commercial lines.

this week has been A clever man took advantage of this feeling, organized this faction against the sultan, and then advanced upon him with the announcement that he was going to dethrone him and set his brother in his place. The sultan was said not to be upon very good terms with this brother of his, but he at once summoned him to Fez, became publicly reconciled with him and then gave him an important post in the government. Whether because the short-lived siege of the sultan in his palace at Fez showed the mettle of the young man, who was not to be scared out of a throne, or whether because the rebel leader had misrepresented facts as to his relations with his brother and so made his followers doubt it is that something developed which melted away the rebel forces like snow under a tropic sun. Much is expected from the young sultan by his progressive subjects, but when the great mass of the people are so blindly ignorant as to look upon all foreigners as hereditary foes, who can not possibly wish them well, it is to be douMed whether the present ruler can bring about even a few the most important reforms looked for at his hands. -v Minnesota and the great northwest frozen up solid tlifcs January weather, we never stop to think that in other parts of the world it may be harvest time.

Studious Juniors would enjoy tracing down these various harvest seasons throughout the world. They are going to put "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" on in Vienna in such a realistic manner that they are even going to have 1,000 trained rats to follow the piping piper. And they expect girls-and "women to be in the production, too.

JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME LSEWHERE will be found the announcement of the award of The Journal Junior. scholarship" offered in con-: nection with the advertising contests. Junior advertisers have a way of requesting that certain designs be returned to them. All designs when once handed in belong to the firm for- whom they were drawn. Prize Winners especially should not expect the return their designs, for it is these.that advertisers wish to keep.

The.designs, of course, all remain in my possession until after the scholarship award is made. Then the various firms are asked if they care to have the designs in their contest. Nearly all of those included in the recent wished the designs sent to them for some use later on. This is the course thatwlll be pursued until further notice, so that it is useless for. to the return of any design, whether it is a prize winner or Does it pay to have courage? -There are many stories going the rounds of papers where "success" is the theme, which tell stories of how certain men'were judged fr their good or their undoing because at a crucial'moment they showed either unexpected courage or a total, abject lack of it.

All this question of success, counts for nothing when there is a human life at stake, and I know a case of unexpected courage arnorig boys not over nine years of age, and small for their years at that, which undoubtedly saved a. li'V Three of them went down to the near one of great flour mills, and'in sliding down a 'beautiful" sheet of ice on the bank, one" of -he developed unexpected slippery qualities and shot oyer into the tail race into six or eight feet of water. Now it is a fact, known to all grownups, that the minute such things happen the instinct in the fortunate ones is to fun away and say nothing. It may seem hard to say this, but it is a fact that is generally Not so with the two little heroes left on the bank. It pened that last summer the boy in the water was taught to keep himself afloat, and the minute he struck the water began instinctively to paddle, hi spite of the fact that he was bundled up in a heavy reefer in addition to all of his In this way he managed to reach the bank and two loyal champions who had stood sturdily by him in his finally succeeded iiito" sWety The accident had been seen, by, men in the 'mill, but be- fore they could get to "the ground the'rescue had been effected.

This is not the first accident: of the kind that has come to the notice of the. men the mill but they say it's almost the first where'the companions of the unfortunate boy in the water did riot run. away.

Help is always given as quickly as possible, but it takes time to get down, to the ground of a six-story mill, and then out to the victim. Sometimes they are too late, where a little effortoby companions might have held him up at least until proper assistance came. Perhaps there are constitutional cowards. Great generals have said there are. Perhaps there lack of something in the makeup of some men physjcally impossible for them to face danger of any.kind,.

There might be some excuse for the display of such wetknes on the field of battle, but there is no excuse for funning away when there is no personal danger and when another needs assistance to save his life. The onlookers from the mill say that even among boys almost double the "ages of these little instinct is to' run away when one of the number falls into the river, leavings him to his fate, whether that be a final sinking or a rescue by chance There are times when even the bravest may -feel an inclination to turn his' back upon danger.

A certain Junior girl is havJQff life made rather a burden because a combination of very inconvenient circumstances made us at this end 'of the line print her name "Peter'' instead of Rita. Boys always find enough ways of their own to tease a I happen to know from past experience, and girl-Juniordom may rest assured that I am always very sorry when I-have unintentionally given "those awful boys" an opportunity to add to their discomfiture. At the same time, you should all be more careful In writing your names. Frequently either the Christian or the surname is so carelessly written that I have had to telephone to the principal of the school to find out what the name is. You might trail off an ordinary word in a sentence in an utterly unrecognizable way, and still have it figured out because of the sense, but you put us all at sea when it comes to such carelessness in writing names, either your own or somebody's else.

There Is little paragraph, of the president's message to congress which seems to have escaped the attention of many people, probably because other topics were of so much wider interest to the country at large. The president suggests that congress provide a sum of money with which the secretary "of war may keep and'care for cavalry and artillery horses worn out in long performance of duty. is a small matter compared with-the questions of international importance which are treated in the message, but it means much Indeed in the development of a wide humanity and a thoughtfulhess for dumb beasts It is a sidelight upon the president's ity and it adds luster to his character as a man.
