A Lucky Dollar

BY Helen Goodrich. Age u Years. 1910
Nicholas Street, Omaha
One morning John Grogan arose earlier
than usual and started to walk to work,
which was about nine blocks. He had to
pass a good many large buildings and he
saw other men going into some of the
buildings
When he had gone about six blocks he
saw something shining in a corner of a
building. Going closer he found it was a
silver dollar Picking 1t up and putting it
in his pocket he said, well / will keep
It for good luck as my grandma used to
say" Then he walked on and soon came
to the large stone building where he was
the bookkeeper.
well. you are earlier than usual" said
his employer. "and SO you can go an hour
earlier this afternoon" So here was the
first piece OF luck for John Grogan.
He got along better in his work that day
than he was wont to do, and he owed this
to the dollar he had found that morning
Going home that afternoon about o'clock
he met George Grenval, who met him with
cheerful smile and said. Say. Grogan.
you are the very man am looking for
You see, 1 bought four theater tickets for
the theater this evening and Sam Clark
and his wife were unable to CO. so 1 thought
you might be able to use them"
He then produced two theater tickets for
a well known theater in Clay Center and
handed them to John Grogan.
THANK you very much for them am
sure we will use them" replied John. 1T
am surely in luck today" said John, as he
walked on, land can afford to buy 75-cent
box of chocolates to eat at the theater"
So he entered the store, in front of which
he was standing, and saw the 75-cent boxes
Of chocolates on sale for IS cents. 50 he
bought two boxes instead of one.
Arriving home his wife met him at the
door with letter bearing the postmark
of Delhi, India, where a rich uncle lived.
Hastily tearing it open a 5000 bill fell to
the floor. This is luckv' calculated John
Grogan, and he then told his wife the story

the baggage 1 need, and was going to take
a look around till 1t was time for the train
to leave. but I got confused about the
streets, and then I asked you to lead me
to the depot or else would have lost my
train"
After about fifteen minutes of fast walk
ing they came to the depot and the
stranger, as he promised gave Fred a
quarter. Fred was happy now, and went
and bought a beautiful valentine for his
sick mother. also one for his brother and
sister
Next morning his mother was 80 delighted
at the beautiful valentine her little 7-year-
old boy had given to her that she forgot
her sickness In a week his mother was

Grace's Garden

BY Mildred Titzel. age II years, 2sl5 Oak
street, Omaha
There was little girl whose name was
Grace. She lived in the city with her
mother and father. Her father had a nice
garden where he raised vegetables and
fruit Grace took great interest in the
garden and thought she would like to have
one of her own. So her father gave her
a little place where she could raise what
ever she liked Grace spaded up the ground
and ral1ed il and then got some flower
seeds and planted them. Grace took care
OF them and watered them every day and
in few weeks the plants were coming
through the ground. She could hardly walt
for them TO bloom She kept the weeds out
of the garden and pretty soon the plants
were blooming. Grace gave the plants to
the poor and sick people and carried bo-
quet to her school teacher every day.

Dear little dolly-doll,
Quiet all day.
Why do you always have
Nothing to say?
Why don't you ever grow
Angry and cry?
Why don't you laugh a bit
When I am nigh?
Why don't you run and leap

Why don't you hide yourself
Behind the door?
Why don't you eat a bit?
And drink some, too?
I'm sure that / would
