BY GRACE LESLIE JOHNSTON, AGE 12. (Cash Prize.) Rushing down the mountain, tumbling through the vale, Sprinkling all the land about with spray,Sliding under boulders which dot the hill and dale, A little mountain brooklet pushed its way. It helped to turn the mill-wheel of the mill upon the bank,It made some pools where children love to be, It helped the merry fisher as his hook and line he sank,And it whispered as it ran into the sea: I m glad I helped the miller, and made the children dance, And I m glad I made the fisher merry be;I m glad I did a bit of work when once I had the chance,And now I m glad I ve made a larger my animal friend. by warren ordway, age 16.(gold badge.) fore.
