Instead of allowing himself to be-

with the sultan's government, wisely

by the Boer farmers and the rest was
burned. The burghers attacked from
the open veldt and gave evidence OF
unprecedented bravery"

Rosie Ec,ilcoxS Turkey.

Rosie Wilcox was a little girl Of Il
years. She lived with her parents on
thrifty farm in the Mississippi va.-
ley. She had one turkey Of which she
thought great deal. He had alwayS
been very tame and was a great pet
with all the children who lived on the
surrounding farms. His name was
Bronzie. Rosie named all of her pets,
according to their most striking fea-
ture and his color was bronze. AS all
Mr.. Wilcox's turkeys were young,
Rosie never feared for hers.
One day near Christmas Mr.. Wilcox
said:
I'm ruther sorry, little one but I'm
a gonter sell yer turkey next week."
Rosie was dumfounded, and her
father, seeing the panied expression on
her face turned away.
When Rosie had partially recovered
her senses she sat down on the bottom
rung Of the ladder that led to the gra-
nary and thought. At last a bright
thought struck her. She would sell
him to Farmer Max. She knew he
would take good care of him, as he was
making collection of beautiful
fowls of all kinds, and was not Bronzie
beautiful? Certainly.
Arriving at this conclusion, which
greatly comforted her, she got up and
walked slowly toward the house,
where mamma had been calling her
for at least Is minutes. Next morn
ing after troubled night, Rosie arose,
and dressing quickly, hurried down the
road with her turkey. She paused in
front of the large white farm house
to recover her breath, and then went
on to the barns. where she saw the
farmer milking his cows. He was very
glad to take the turkey and promised
Rosie good price for him.
Mr.. Wilcox did not see his daughter
until that noon, when he said:
Yer turkey didn't like his new
home, so he come a-trottin' inter the
yard 'safternoon S though he owned
the whole world"
Rosie could have cried, but she only
hung her head.
Never mind, Rosie" said her faith
