RUTH'S ILL TEMPER
BY Jessie Hun-Class C-Ten
Years

Years
Stop pulling my hair Horace st.
Clair" said the boys sister, Grossly.
"Ho, baby" taunted Horace.
Mrs. st. Clair, who had heard this,
sent them both out of the room and
said she would come after them when
she thought they had finished. An
hour later she went upstairs after
them. This is the way she found them:
Horace was reading a fairy tale to
Ruth, who was listening very atten-
lively.
IF you children will promise to be
good and not bother me any more you
may go for an automobile ride" their
mother said
Both of them promised to be good
and then went to get ready 1t was
not very long before they had started.
When they had gone a little way out
of town the chauffeur put on full speed
and pretty soon when he tried to stop
the machine he couldn't.
On and on they went till they came
to rock, which the wheel ran against.
Out they all fell, but it did not hurt
them any, as they landed on the grass.
1t was lucky that farm house was
nearby, so they could borrow horse
and buggy to ride home in.
That night as they went to bed Ruth
said; Il like a horse and buggy bet
ter than an automobile, don't you,
brother?"

Pleasures of the Interesting Puss Party

A LII the little girls of the neighbor
~ hood had been invited to a "puss
party" The name sounded we'll,
they thought.
whats it like? What's it going to
be-" they clamored.
But no one knew. None of the
mothers had given a children's party
OF that kind; none of the other little
ones whom they played with had ever
been to or heard of one. The most that
any one could say of it was to tell of
the cunning invitations that had ar
rived the day before.
Just think" laughed the children;
they began 'Miau.
And true enough that was the salu-
tation, the rest of the letter reading:
MY three little kittens have lost their
mittens and want you to come and help
hunt for them. Kitties Julie and Ruth
and Mary invite you to party in
their basket on Wednesday, at half
past three o'clock. They will do their
best to a-mews you. The Kittens
Mother, Mrs. -. The Basket, No.
street, Thursday, -, -"
Then each invitation had been slipped
into a pretty little paper basket Of
kittens for it's special covering, and the
whole enclosed in an ordinary white
envelope and mailed.
When the expected day arrived the
little girls invited set out for the
some one in charge of them and even
if they had not known the street num-
ber. they would certainly have recog-
nized the house, for there on the outer
door handle hung what looked like
great big invitation basket, kittens and
all. Indeed, in all but size, it was a
duplicate of the novel envelopes in
which the notes had been sent out, and
the first glimpse of it started the little
feet of each guest into quicker step
ping.
A grand hunt for the lost mittens"
began when all the children had gotten
together A multitude of mittens had
been cut out of colored cloths, mostly
in very tiny or in very large sizes.
These were hung about the room,
either boldly in sight or partly con-
cealed and besides these a number of
average sized mittens had been care
fully hidden.
When by good fortune a child found
a mitten that could be called a fit, the
hostess took it off under the preteXt
of examinine, il and slyly sIipped a
candy inside. again drawing it over the
little girls hand. The guest, who felt
the prize, at once drew 1t out to see
what it could be, and was made glad
by the sweetmeat. Many kinds were
used and nearly every child had some
thing different, so that occasionally
an inquisitive guest would keep hers
to trade a little later with some one
who had happened to win kind that
was more to her taste. Not so many
bonbons fell to a single child as to
cloy the appetite Of any for the feast
at the close of the afternoon.
Just as all present could join in the
hunt, so they could all play creepy
puss," and this was the next game to
be started. In and out of the double
ers would wend their laughing way,
every now and then breaking ranks in
a wild scramble.
They played the game with a leader
who was the Pussy. AS soon as she
had been chosen the others fell into

One evening in a toyshop
CTwas a splendid night for be clncingD
A very polished billiard ball
Was overheard announcing
That she was getting UP dance
Upon the billiard table.
She hoped that every ball would come
AS soon as he was able.
Then what a rush and bounce there was
From every box and basket.
Each ball secured a partner
AS fast as he could ask 1t.
The handball by the football
Was cordially invited.
The baseball asked the billiard ball,
OF course she was delighted
The billiard table was so fiat.
So very smooth and green;

Declared was never seen"
The tennis ball had been to court,
And she was In a It,
Because she said the cricket ball

The dance became a frolic.
No one was there to blame,
And ever more excited

In the middle of the table sat
large black cat. On her back We're a
couple of kittens. A pink ribbon col
lar was about her neck, and in her
ears were bows of the same color, while
jauntily hanging over one ear was A
wreath of pink carnations A wreath
of smilaX encircled the group at a little
distance, and seated in the midst of
this, facing so as to regard the pussies
were little bisque dogs of all kinds and
colors, sometimes grouped together in
the attitudes of barking or shifting.
The children would not have exchanged
this centerpiece for the most superb
floral decoration in the world
Boot-shaped sandwiches that looked
much more like a baby sock, and were,
by grace of the occasion, called 'puss-
in-boot sandwiches" were hungrily de-
voured after the hearty play, and even
the funny "grimalkins" went the way
of the more commonplace boots. How
ever, these cakes We're duly admired
first, and deserved all the praise they
received. Each was a gingerbread,
marked with frosting to make a cats
face. The mouth was red outlined in
white, and with long white mustaches

The packages were brought in on a

shouldered his bundle when he set out

sonal details having to be changed to

The children ready to help, supply

bindery or kindergarten supply shop,
three scrap picture kittens and tri-
angular paper foundation, to be used
as the back of the basket. The strips
are woven into a split-like front for
the back, which latter originally made
one corner of a sheet of stiff note
paper. The tip of this is the bottom Of
the basket.
Children old enough could easily cut
their own foundations, after the size
Of the basket has been determined up
on. Measuring an equal distance from

edges, they should dot the distance
and, connecting the two dots with a
line, cut across the sheet on it.

HOMESICK
Written for The Herald.

I'm sitting here alone tonight.
Far from my northern home.
And my heart is lorging, longing
For the little place l own
And I'm homesick, so homesick,
FOR that homestead Of mine,
The little rough board cabin.
And the sweet smell OF pine.
Down in this sunny land of flowers
Where the orange blossoms grow,
l want my own. own flreside
And the ground all white with snow.
Cause I'm homesick, so homesick,
For that homestead of mine,
The little rough board cabin
And the sweet smell of pine.
What do I care for the perfume
That ladens every breeze?
Tonight l want to breathe the air
That blows through the big pine trees.
For I'm homesick. SO homesick.
For that homestead of mine,
The little rough board cabin
And the sweet smell Of pine.
There's someone singing down the lane
song as sweet as can be.
But I'd rather hear an owl hoot,
Or a coyote, seems to me.
Cause I'm homesick, 50 somesck,
For that homestead Of mine,
The little rough board cabin
And the sweet smell OF pine.
I'm tired of the orange groves,
The palms and magnolia trees.
l can only look at them,
They don't belong to me.
That's why I'm homesick so homesick,
For that homestead Of mine,
The little rough board cabin
And the sweet smell of pine.
A continuous residence, they say,
Is the homesteader's share;
But homes whore the heart Is,
And mines always there
For I'm homesick so homesick,
For that homestead OF mine,
The little rough board cabin
And the sweet smell Of pine.

GRIND OPERA SEASON
CLOSE 1T HAND NOW

Of. On next Monday the famous company
from the Metropolitan operahouse of
New York, under the direction Of Helm
rich Conried, will begin at the Audi
torium an engagement limited to three
performances. Altho Minneapolis and
the northwest regret the briefness of
the season, it is better than not having
Mr.. Conried come at all. Four years
have elapsed since the grand opera
season under Mr.. Grau's management,
appeared in the Exposition building,
and music lovers thruout Minnesota and
the Dakotas as well as Minneapolis,
own musical clientele, have been for
a number Of weeks impatiently wait
ing the promised feast.
So far as one can tell from the &C.
companying casts the Metropolitan
Opera company is this year much more
evenly balanced than last season, when
it was not heard far away from New
York.
While Mr.. Conried has made some
concessions to the popular demand for
stars, he has not neglected to find tlt-
ting and capable opponents for the
minor parts in the operas presented.
given that particular attention will be
paid to the chorus, the supernumeraries
and the ballet. Lastly, it may be said,
that the orchestra will be directed by
three conductors of tried excellence.
Alfred Hertz, who for two seasons
past, has been a conspicuous figure in
grand opera in the United States, will
have charge Of "Parsifal.' 1t was to
his enthusiasm and devotion that Wag-
ner's great work owed much of its sem
sational success last year in New York:
Arturo Vigna, new to the west, will
direct the performances of "Les Hugue-
uotsN and "Pagliacci.' For several
years before he was engaged by MIR.
Conried, Mr.. Vigna had been popular
a sthe chef orchestra of the Monte
Carlo operahouse. His leadership is
said to be unusually effective in modern
Italian opera. The third Metropolitan
conductor, Nathan Frbnko, has been In
Minneapolis before. He was long as
ISOLATED with the Metropolitan opera
house orchestra in New York as con-
leria Rusticana.'
"Caruso nights" in New York have
for some time rivaled ''Parsifal
nights and the indications are that
Tuesday evenings audience in Mime
apolis-when the great Italian tenor
sings in "Pagliacci,,- will be a ''capac-
ity'' audience The "Parsifal' house
has long been sold out, and before the
rise of the curtain Tuesday evening, it is
expected that the house will be sold
out also for that night. In fact the
for all the performances including the
matinee when Nordica and Sembrich
appear.
AS a brilliant social function, how
ever, "Caruso night will doubtless
lead, for, on this evening, there will be
no darkened auditorium as is necessary
for "Parsifal." Tuesday night there.
