When 1 was a pug-puppy 1 was quite
bad. But l have learned to behave my
self. When Charles first got this kitten she
was very ill-mannered, and often scratched
me. He calls her Daisy. She is white and
black The first thing she did was TO put
up her back at ne. l knew this was wrong
and determined to teach her better.
1 went up to speak to her. and what do
you think she did!
Why she flew at me and scratched me

Then she said l was cross, and one day,
when 1 was asleep, she came up and be-
gan TO play with my tail. l just wagged
1t ever so hard. and 1t hit her and knocked
her down. Then she found out that was

sick and was lying upon a couch close by
the bedroom window. Close to the window
on the outside stood a big apple tree and
perched on it a big red breasted robin.
which Willie had named Dickie. 1t came

songs every day
Willie's papa was a railroad man and

would let him have only one bullet at
time He kept the others locked up.

The man said, Alright" so we climbed

when the first boy rolled his down he fell
on top of it and went head first.
OF course we had a laugh. After laugh

that not one of us tried TO go down that

boys knocked them all down; we girls were

NV Pet Monkeys

BY Sadie b. Finch, Aged Years, 1915 Fifth
Avenue, Kearney, Neb.
When I was years old my papa went
to Chicago and bought me a monkey for
n pet. 1 named him Jocl1o. He was very
cute and mischievous. He liked bananas
and bread and milk. We took the top off
or my baby buggy and put a large wire
cage on Il for him. Then we could wheel
him around like little baby. He wore a
collar with a chain fastened to 1t and it
was such fun to watch him climb the trees.
One day he broke his chain and took a
roasting ear and ran to the top Of the
house with 1t and sat on the very highest
point and eat IL. He did look 50 cute. A
few days later he broke his chain again
and ran away. He was gone two days. My
papa offered a reward Of 5 for him, and
he was found in a large barn. The boy
who caught him had quite a time capturing
him, ms he showed fight. I guess he liked
the big barn pretty well.
Then papa thought he was lonesome and
bought me another monkey. We called her
Beautiful Cora. The school boys used TO
catch grasshoppers for them to eat, and
they liked them very much. During the
winter papa took them to the store where
they had a large room to play in.

A Peanut Party

BY Myrna Hall. Aged 10 Years. York. Neb.
1 will tell you about a party that mamma
had for my sister and l and what a jolly
good time we had. We wrote the invita-
ton on a piece of paper, then put them
in empty peanut shells and tied with baby
ribbon. The day our party came our fun
began. First we went UP stairs and hunted
for peanuts. Then we put ten peanuts on
two chairs at each end of the room. Then
two at a time would take large spoons
and carry one peanut and see which could
get them carried first. We then were
given twenty peanuts to bid for small pres
.ents IN boxes. At last we each were given
a sacl, of peanuts to see which could get
them cracked and counted the quickest.
1t was then getting late, so we were
served with ice cream. cake and taffy.

from his father saying that he was awfully
sick and, Of course. she had to 20 home
She did not think it safe for Frank to go
down to the creek alone. When Frank
found that he could not go he cried. When
Saturday came he wore very fearful face.
He decided he would run away to the
creek to try his boat and nobody would
know it. He did not tie the string
curely and when it sailed out In the center
of the stream the string broke. Frank tried
to reach it with a stick, but in doing so he
fell in and would have drowned but for
Carlo, who had followed him. Carlo sprang
into the water and caught him by the coll
lar and dragged him to the shore. Carlo
ran home and found John. Carlo barked
and ran back TO the creek and John fol-
lowed him. John carried the unconscious
boy back home. His aunt sent for a doctor
and soon Frank was all right.

BY Stanley I've, Aged 10 Years, Council
Bluffs.
Some days ago we were in quarantine
and If anybody thinks 1t is easy for a
healthy playful boy to stay in the house,
will tell you 1t is not. I can now feel
more sorrow for a man that is sent to
prison When l heard and saw the boys

The great trouble 1 and my younger sister
had was to amuse ourselves We would
get tired of the same kind of games over
and over again, and I am sorry to say
we often found occasion to quarrel
cleaned my gun several times, fixed my
bicycle, made sleds, and tried to help my
mother in the homework What a joyful
day 1t was when the yellow card was off
the house AS l had not been sick myself,
1 felt like bird who had just escaped from
his cage.

TO look for her. When they found her she
was so dirty that they were surprised TO
see her. They took her home and sent her
to bed, warning her not to be so careless

mother had forbidden her. And her mother
told her that some day something awful
