A. Cows: Friendship.
Second Prize.)


I was spending the summer with my uncle
who lives on cattle ranch in North Dakota.
One day as my cousin and I were going thru
the pasture to get into our favorite seats in
tree by the side Of q beautiful little creek we
saw coming toward us d: young COW. who limped
and appeared to be- III pain. 1--WE stood still and
she came straight up to US and stopped and her
meek brown eyes seemed. to; ask for help. We
looked at her leg and found it quite badly cut
and that the, flies were ,bothering her, ,..
I petted her and kept the flies off while my
cousin went back to the house for water, salve
and a bandage. She, never moved while we
Washed and dressed her wound, but when we
had finished and started again for our seats in
the tree she followed us and lay down in the
shade. Later she followed us back to the pas
ture gate decided to put her in the orch
| ard near the house and look after her leg every
| day ~-.-.
| She soon became a great pet. She would eat
| from our hands. She would come up behind us,
| put her head on our shoulders and try to lick
our cheeks with her tongue. ..3 49,. x-.
One day we decided to drive to town. Just
1 as we were entering the place we looked back
and there was that COW following US. We
| couldn't take her back hone-it was SO far

Here is an incident where kindness helped to
save q childs 1lfe. Pilot was shepherd dog
who, when not more than a year old, was de-
serted by his master who moved away. The dog
stayed around the empty house great deal and
whined for help, but it did no good, no one
returned for him. The family living next door
had six children and as they were poor they
could Ill afford to keep pet dogs and cats; but
when Alice, the youngest child, noticed this
homeless dog, she begged her parents for it
until they finally yielded and Pilot was given a
home. From that day on Alice and Pilot were
always together. She could not 60 out of his
sight without having him come bounding after
her. '''"' "' H''''~'- :.
One day when the older children were away
Alice was sent to the store and, of course,
Pilot went along. On the way back, she
was crossing the street a large team came
galloping around the corner: The driver could
not stop the frightened horses, and Pilot, seeing
the danger his little mistress was in, caught hei
by the dress and dragged her out Of dangers

tn ODAY closes the prize contest,
and Uncle Bert is, proud of the
A children in Minneapolis. Hun
dreds of letters have been received
every week during the contest, telling
Of various acts of kindness the children
have shown, and proved that the hui
name work had already a strong hold
among the children of the city.
Uncle Bert has not yet had time to
make complete count of all the ehll-
dren who have joined the Jim Key
Band of Mercy, but already more than
$4,000 names have been sent in for
publication in The Journal
The children can readily understand
that it will take some time to do this,
80 Uncle Bert asks patience from them.
1t is hoped that the badges and lit
erature for the presidents will be re-
ceived this week. AS fast as possible
the names of the presidents and secre-
taries are baing sent to Boston and Mr..
Angel, the president of the parent
Humane society, is so delighted with
the enthusiastic way with which the
children have taken. up the plan that
he is hurrying, the delivery of the
badges and literature. However, the
children need not wait for these, but
can begin their meetings whenever they
choose.
The president of each band will be
given a badge. If the members wish
them, they can secure them for 5 cents
each. It is not necessary to have a
badge, however, to be member Of q
mercy band.
If the children in each band who wish
to have badges will notify Uncle
Bert of T h e J our a |, of the mum
Der desired, they will be sent for i'm
mediately.
Uncle Bert wishes the members O
each band to send in a report of thei
work for the Jim Key column in, T h
Journal, and send also any littl'
items of news that would interest tn
members of the other bands.
