Come, auntie, you must GO and watch
our Yaluables while We attend TO other

she was fully reused to the matter in
hand. Foolish children" was all she
commented. But she dressed and wrapped
in a warm shawl taking care to carry
her one best dress. a black silk gown
that had been her pride for fifteen years.
She also took a small boX containing
relics of her dead children and husband
saying as she did so: I'm afraid to
leave these things in the house when I'm
away. But don't fear that the old Mis-
souri, will be the robber. It's thea psslSy
tramps what bother the houses Of honest
folks that I'm afraid Of"
And so Aunt Jane was stationed in the
shelter OF a strawstaek In the middle Of
last years cornhsld TO keep watch over the
valuables while the children returned 10
the house for another load. Before going
on with the work. however. Jack and Marie
went TO the edge OF the bank in front OF
the house to look az the gauge-pole. To
their horror II had disappeared, and the
mad water was leaping, plunging roaring
as Il rose higher and higher, climbing the
crumbling bank witht fearful rapidly and
forcing It's way inland. Great piles OF
drittwOod were now coming down stream,
striking with force against the frail clay
banks and helping the river with it's de-
struction. Jack and Marie with fear at
their hearts, went 10 the lower point OF
the curve, where the real danger lay. The

sent to the city one day to sell some
butter and eggs for his mother. He had
to walk all the way. He was not a very
bright boy, as you will soon see. On the
way he came to a river and sat down TO
rest. He saw the river running by and
thought it mpst all run by before long

he sat down on the bank. The little boy
sat on the bank all day. At night the
water was as high as II was in the morn

The Rat and the Chick

BY August Raabe, Aged Years, 26O9 North
Nineteenth Avenue Omaha, Neb.
1t was spring and we had young chicks.
They had just been out Of the shell about
week. Their mother was very busy
scratching out bugs from the ground for
them. Whenever she found one she would
call "cluok, clucS," and they would come
running and tumbling one over the other
One day they were all peacefully together
except one who had strayed away from its
mother.
Just then big rat came running out Of
the garden and seized the chick The other
chickens set up great cackle Grandma
and heard 1t and we ran out to see what
was the matter. We saw the rooster pick
ing the rat desperately and the rat dropped
the chick and ran away. But the chick
was dead
That night we set the rat trap. The rat
was caught and it served him right.

The House in the Woods

By Ada Wilson. Aged 10 Years. 1908 Ohio
Street, Omaha
One day last summer we were out hunt
ing violets and we came TO a small wooden
house. There was a small window in one
eide which was covered with a piece Of
paper. We could see two chairs and one
table, with a bed spread on the floor.
Pretty soon we saw an old woman with
a red shawl around her. She came to the
house and went in. We asked some women
in the woods, and they said she was an
old witch. They said she was out hunting
someone 80 she could ask them for money.

this was the man, and she hurried toward

He had just time to dodge to avoid hearty

Then he pulled out photograph which

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 7. 1907.
MARYLAND Farms Still in Demand.

The Maryland State Board of Immigra-
ton held its quarterly meeting in the office
on Charles street on Friday. DIR. NJ
Whitehill, of Frederick county, presided
Superintendent William II. p. Turpin sub
mitted the report of the secretary about
his work during the trip to Europe MIR.
A. F. Trappe says, in his report, that he
has placed about ~ people in different
sections of the State on the farms, and has
assurance that quite big number OF more
farmhands will come in the near future.
He also says that one Of them will bring
about $24, 900 with him.
The secretary recommends that the
State should not 60 any further In this
matter until the laws of the United States
have been changed and the states receive
more privileges in this regard. In COM
parison with the experiments of other
Southern States, he considers Maryland
exceedingly successful, and hopes to be
able to reduce the stringency OF farm labor
to a minimum.
The board adopted, on motion of Com
missioner Mancha, resolution to congrat-
ulate the secretary for his successful work,
and also passed motion to thank United
States Immigrant Commissioner L. L.
Weis for his timely offer to Superintendent
Turpin some days ago. The board has at
present great number of applicants for
families on the list, but there seems to be
little prospect of filling all the positions for
female help. Superintendent Turpin re-
ported that the demand for Maryland farms
Is becoming more lively every day.

''It seems to me I'll never get through
paying bills"
For a moment the teller was puzzled.
Then he realized that the woman didn' t
understand the check. "You don't have
to pay me,' he said; Il have to pay you

He pushed back her five dollar bill and
gave her 81 in silver. The woman was

Strictly Correct.

A bailif, having long tried in vain to
arrest Quaker at last resolved to adopt the
disguise of Quaker himself, and SO get
access to the interior of the house. He
knocked accordingly at the door, inquiring
if Friend Aminadab was at home and if he
could see him.
The housekeeper said, "Walk in, friend,
and he shall see thee.
The bailiff, delighted to have got this
success, was directed to wait, but after
waiting an hour he became impatient, rang
the bell, and said to the servant. ''Thou
promised me I should see Friend Amina-

"No, friend" answered she; ~ prom

Eggs Hatched on Way.

VINELAND, N. j., May 3O.-The latest and
most remarkable case of Matching eggs a man
of this place claims as his own. W. E.
Langshaw is the man. He had 26 eggs which
were nearly hatched in his incubator and he
was at his wits end to know what to do with
them while moving. Finally he decided to
try and save them. He lined basket with
paper and placing the eggs carefully between
warm wooden blankets started for this place.
The journey was over so miles. The first
thing he did upon reaching home was to open
the basket. To his great surprise he beheld
25 lively little chicks as spry as any ever
hatched.

the bottom, and near the top medallions
perhaps three inches In diameter were
