Tramp With Shotgun.

ramp with Shotgun.
Mr.. and Mrs. Orrin Rowe, who live
on large farm at Crystal, went away
one day recently. leaving their 12-
year-old daughter. Emma, to keep
house. AS soon as they went away a
big tramp who had been watching
the place boldly entered the house
and demanded something to eat of
the little girl. She set out a lunch
TOR him, and while he was eating he
growled:
If there's any money in this house
l want you to get 1t for me. AS soon
as l get through with this feed III
look for myself"
I'll see II can get something for
you,' replied the child as she left the
room.
She went into an adjoining room.
climbed into chair and got down
her fathers rifle. 1t was not loaded.
but she filled the magazine.
The tramp looked up into the muz-
zie OF the gun, which was resting
over the back of chair, with the
child's swapping eyes resting behind
the sights and her finger on the trig-
ger.
Now. Mr.. Tramp. you run away
before l can count ten. or I'll shoot
you dead as sure as my names EN-
ma Rowe. One. two. three"
There was nothing to do for the
tramp but to get out. He was thor
oughly frightened. The little girl kept
him covered until he was well out Of
range.-Portland Argus.

French Red Tape.

1t was discovered recently that OF
100000 contributed three years ago
for the relief of the sufferers by the
Martinique eruptions. only $4,000 was
distributed by the French officers who
visited the islands. while the expenses
were $4,000. This was due to red
tape. The tape has now been cut and
the money distributed. Gifts of food,
etc. from America alone saved the III
habitants from starvation.
A man who knows enough to make
his living is never thought as much of
as the genius who can't.

HER MOTHER.

Once there was little girl. Her
name was Ruth. She lived in small
town. Her mother was an invalid and
could not do anything.
One day Ruth came home from
school. She was angry because she
had to stay in. Her mother asked
her to get her a drink of water but
Ruth did not get it. Then her mother
asked her again to get her a drink
The child did not tell her that she
would but went out. In little while
she came with glass of water. She
did not put it up to her mothers lips
but set it down. She did not ask her
mother to forgive her before she went
to bed and when she asked the nurse
to see her mother next morning she
said she was asleep. And Ruth re.
membered the naughty deed she had
done.

ESsAY-MY FLOWERS.

We have garden with many pretty
flowers in it. There are pansies, pop.
pies, marigold. ragged robins and
zenias. Some of them are my own.
When the sun comes up they open
their petals and when you look into
their little cups you can see drop OF
dew. When it is dry, the little flowers
will thrive on dew for awhile. I think
all little children should love flowers
When children love their teachers
they take them bunch of flowers
each morning to make them happy.
When our Saviour was on earth He
loved the lilies. Lilies are said to be
the emblem of peace, and we take
them each Easter to church. Snow
drops bloom early in the spring and
are pure white.
This year we had all the roses we
wanted for Decoration day.

NUMBER OF JUNIORS GROWS.

The membership Of the Junior Is in
creasing rapidly and we are receiving
letters from towns all over the state
And how glad we are to think that the
boys and girls SO thoroughly appre-
cfate having page of their own. The
writing as rule is very good, and we
have found only few misspelled
words which speaks pretty well for
the Iowa schools.
We hope that no Junior will write
one letter and think he has done his
duty After you have written to the
children's page and expressed de-
sire to become q junior, you are ex-
pected to write at least every two
weeks and oftener If you can. And
this is not all--you must tell your lit.
tie friends about the junior society
and ask them to join. You will find
that your new duty is not work but If
you enter into it with the right spirit
It will be the greatest pleasure imag.
Unable.
Think Of all the boys and girls who
read your letters and through them
become acquainted with you. There
are many children living out in the
country who have very little to bright.
en- their lonely lives. Now don't you
think it would be very nice to write
letters to them and send them to the
junior page to be published.
Tell them all about what you do and
the games you play and I am sure
they will tell you all about the farm,
etc. Write to any child you please,
living in town or country.
