BY HELENA DAVIS.

Susie had q way of forgetting to put on her mitteGs when the weather was very cold. Of course, she didn't need them when the weather was nice and warm. for then there was no need ot her trying 10 remember 10 put them on Us she went to and from school or ran errands for her mamma. But 1t annoyed Susie's mamma very much to have her little daughter come in from school of an evening with her hands bare and cold, and when she asked where her mittens were and to have her reply: "Oh. I forgot them and left them in my box in my desk. Really. mamma, I just can't think to put on my mittens. I don't mind If my hands do get cold; they become warm directly reach home and stand beside the nice big radiator in the hall
 But by going with bare hands youll catch cold and become ill.," explained mamma. And you must not be so for getful, my dear little daughter. Now, when you bring your mittens tomorrow and bring them on your hands. tool shall sew them to the ends of a long tape and fasten the tape securely to the collar of your cloak. When you put on your cloak there will be your mittens, hi ready for you to draw on your hands. you see. Then my little girls hands will be snug and warm when she comes in from school or play
 The very next evening Susie remem- bered her mittens But not till she had started home without them. Remember Ing them. she ran back to the school house and got them from her desk. draw ing them on very snugly.
 They are awfully comfy" she admit ted to herself as she walked along the street. for the March weather was any thing but mild. TIT try never to go out without them on again when its cold. But. of course. If mamma sews them tightly to my cloak collar how can I go out without themT' And Susie smiled to herself at the absurd thought
 But just as she was going round the corner of the block and nearing her own

 Susie waited a little longer. silently watching the boy as he shoyeled the snow. "working-not playing" she ob- served mentally. And he has no nit tens. Isn't that dreadful, though. to be obliged to stay out in the snow and have your hands freeze while you workT'
 Then Susie drew from her hands the nice. soft woolen mittens, blushed a bit as she called again to the boy over the fence: Here. boy, are some mIttens. They're nice and cozy and will keep your hands warm"
 The boy looked at her in astonishment, then eyed closely and longingly the nit tens which she was offering him. ID" you mean 1t for fair:" he asked. Fer if you're joshIn' sin't got no time to foo! away"
 "Of course mean Il. declared Susie. Come and get them. They will keep your hands warm while you work
 The boy came clumsily forward, look ing a bit ashamed to take the profered mittens from a girl. But the thought of the comfort they would give him decided the matter. and with grin he held out his hand and took them, drawing them on over his poor chapped and benumbed tn- gers.
 Gee. them's fine and warm he com meRted. Then thought struck him. and he turned quickly 10 Susie. What's yer name, little Miss: l want to tell my nom about you when I go home tonight. She'll be awful tickied that someone has been kind to me. She likes folks what are kind 10 me. my nom does
 My names Susie Long. and I live in the red brick house down by the corner" explained Susie. An If you come there tO see my mamma. she may have many other things to give to you. My mamma is very kind woman, and gives many things to children who are poor"
 Thank you, little Miss And the poor. clumsy boy bowed hlS respects to Susie as shes said ~Good-by. poor boy" and hurried homeward.

But If you could have seen how cold bis hands were-the little boys hands, I mean-you would have been glad to have me give them to him" And then Susie more fully explained the matter, and her mamma drew her to her side and kissed her tenderly. saying: Little heart of gold. is my own sym pathetic and loving little girl.

labor union voters to support Levi
Ankeny for U. S. Senator at the

latter is inimical to the interests of

back at Mr.. Young in forcible and
direct language. He shows that
while in Congress he voted the same

ures. This is a fight between Re-
