JOHN PAUL JONES Doll Cut-Out from 1899.

June 18, 1899.  BRAVE PAUL JONES.  The First Naval Hero of America.  John Paul Jones, who won the first naval battle for the young republic, was born in Kirkbean, Scotland, July 6, 1747, and died at Paris, July 18, 1792.  He was the son of John Paul, a gardener.  The name Jones he assumed about 1773.  John Paul went to sea at 12, was a mate at 18, and a master a year later.  He was appointed senior first lieutenant by Congress in 1775, when the American navy was started.  After short commands on the small war sloops Alfred and Providence, he took command of the Ranger, which was built at Kittery, ME., and which was the first vessel to fly the stars and stripes.  He sailed for Europe in November 1777, took various pri-es, and captured the British man of war Drake, which lost 42 men, including the captain.  In 1779, Jones changed his flag to the Bon Homme Richard, and with three other vessels, he fought a number of engagements against the English.  For one victory, that with the Serapis and a British fleet, he received a gold sword from the king of France and the thanks of the American congress.

Paper POLLYKIN and Her Pets.

November 26, 1922.  Paper POLLYKIN and Her Pets.  POLLYKIN went into the woodlands to see what progress Mother Nature was making with her children's new fur coats.  POLLYKIN found that she had almost finished them and that their winter garments became the little creatures immensely.  Billy Brighteyes, Bobbity Bobtail and several of his children, and even Tip Tail Fox looked just fine.  Tip Tail's pelt was thick.  It looked brushed, his ear tassels were well shaken out and the tip end of his tail was snowy white.

Much as she hated to, Polly admitted that Tip Tail was a beautiful animal.  "But only to look at.  Inside, the nature of him, is not beautiful, not a bit!" said POLLYKIN emphatically.

Paper POLLYKIN surrounded by some paper pets makes an attractive toy.  Billy Brighteyes is on her shoulder.  Though Mother Nature has grown his coat thick and warm, nothing will replace the end of his tail which Tip Tail bit off when Billy Brighteyes was a wee but clever youngster.  Bobbity Bobtail and some of his many children cluster around POLLYKIN for protection against Mr. Tip Tail Fox, who stays at a safe distance licking his lips and awaiting the time when POLLYKIN shall go home.  And then - who knows? -------By Marjorie Morton.
