Johnnia's Car Ride

Lena Cox, Aged ~ Years, Tekamah, Neb.
Blue.
Having never ridden on a train, 1t was
not surprising that Johnnie Harrison
should be on tip-toe with expectation, for
was he not to go that very day to see
his aunt, who lived in Bancroft? The
family was ready by 2:3O o'clock, thinking
the train was to go at $3.50 instead Of 4:3O.
Mrs. Harrison read a story aloud so as to
pass off the time, but 1t was far from
train time when they got to the station.
After waiting awhile the train pulled in
and then began the hustle and confusion
of getting on it. They had to go through
two cars before they found seats. When
they had taken possession of their seat
Johnnie wanted to know If they were
going, for said he, 1T looks like the
freight cars and telegraph poles are going
instead of US. When they arrived at the
station their aunt was there and they
all went to her home together. After a
pleasant time they returned to their own
home, Johnny happy in the knowledge
thai he had ridden on a car for once in
his life.

rescued the little play children from the

eldest was a girl of twelve, named jean
cite, the youngest a little girl of three,
named Martha. When the dog first came
into the family they didn't know what to
name 1t.
A long time went by and the family were
preparing for a trip to Europe, and still
the dog had no name. The children begged
the captain to let the dog sail with them,
and at last he consented.
They were two days at sea when a ter
rible storm arose and the ship started to
sink. The life boats were brought down
and In the hurry and rush to get In the
life boats the family got separated from
Martha and she was left on the sinking
ship. The life boats sailed away and they
had sailed quite far when they discovered
that both Martha and the dog were miss
ing.
The dog seeing Martha left on the ship
alone had barked but nobody heard him
and he found himself alone with Martha.
The ship was rapidly sinking when u boat
went by and he barked and was soon heard
by the people, who took them both on the
ship.
The family had waited at Liverpool.
England trying to find out about the ship,
and when Martha and the dog arrived a
short time afterwards they found each
other, and because of the dogs faithful
ness they named him Loyal.

Mighty Himalayan Mountains

attach an actual name to every peak.
Astronomer do not name the stars; in
early days they grouped them into con-
stellations and they now number them ac-
cording to right ascension. The Survey
proposes to follow the method introduced
by Colonel M~ontgomerie in the Karakoram
region, where he has named the whole
region X and its peaks XII. K2. K3, etc.
The Survey says that the most isolated
and probably the most imposing peak In
all Asia is one whose name few persons
have ever heard. 1t is Manga Parbat,
standing on the western side Of the Indus
valley and rising to a height Of $500 feet.
Within sixty miles Of it no other summit
attalns an altitude Of more than 1900, so
1t surpasses all its surroundings by more
than 5000 feet. The mountain does not
rise from a high elevation, as is the case
with many Himalayan SUBMITS, but it is
thrust skyward from a base that il only
$500 feet above the sea, so that 28,12O feet
OF It is completely exposed to the gaze
Of the observer and at a distance Of less
than forty miles he has an unparalleled
view Of this overwhelming spectacle, with
its vast snow fields. glaciers and crags.

A Selfish Little Girl

Cecil WirLerstein, Aged 10 Years, 142
Roscoe Street, Chicago. Red.
It's very queer how we little children
can be SO selfish and only think of our
own pleasure. l know a little girl, her
name is Laura. One Sunday her mother
took sick. During the week her mamma
had promised to take her to visit her uncle
and auntie on Sunday. But as her mamma
was sick she could not go. Her mamma
laid down and went to sleep. Little Laura
had her mind on this all the time. When
her mamma had slept an hour, Laura
asked her father, shail we wake mamma.
Her father said no, she needs the rest.
Almost every five minutes she kept on
asking the same question. At last
she went of her own accord and
woke up her mamma. She knew her
mamma needed the rest but she thought
if she could get her mamma up she might
tease her to go visiting. This little girl
always got what she was promised but this
time her mamma was sick so she could
not keep the promise. Little girls can't
always get what they want.
Laura's real name is Cecil Winnerstein.

Evelyn and Ruth we're neighbors, 30 they
had been great friends. Evelyn was very
impolite and had short red hair and blue
eyes. Ruth had long brown curls and
brown eyes. She was more polite than
Evelyn.
Evelyn was very Jealous of Ruth's curls,
80 she told every one she hated curls.
When school was out Ruth and Evelyn
went home the same way; then Evelyn
said "Smartyi"
'surel Don't you wish you wereR' said
Ruth.
Evelyn ran after Ruth, but Ruth was
too quick for her. Evelyn fell on a board
and tore her dress. She also hurt herself
very badly and told her mother that Ruth
tore her dress.
The mex morning Evelyn decided to get
even with Ruth, 80 she took with her a
pair of scissors. After school she told
several girls what she was going to do.
They told her not to, but she answered
them Grossly.
When Ruth was not looking Evelyn ran
up to her and grabbed one of her curls.
"Ouchi' cried Ruth.
Evelyn pulled her scissors from her
pocket and cut-not the curl, which she had
intended to do, but her own finger.
Oh, how 1t hurtl She ran back and
forth and cried terribly. When her mother
came she took her to a doctor and had the
wound dressed. But this gave Evelyn a
good lesson and she has now learned not
to be so cross to her friends.

Work First and Play Afterward

Willie Cullen, Ex-King Bee, 1912 Webster
Street, Omaha. Red.
Frank was a boy about y years old and
was in the seventh grade at school. It was
a Sunday afternoon and Frank had not
done his home work yet from last week.
He had only this afternoon and evening to
do 1t in for it had to be ready to take to
school and hand to the teacher Monday
morning.
Frank had Just come in from out of doors
and had taken up Sunday mornings paper
to read.
II think you had better do your home
work nov, Frank" said his mother.
"oh, l want to read the paper" said
Frank.
Very well. then" said his mother.
So instead Of obeying his mother, Frank
read the newspaper until 6 o'clock.
They then had their luncheon and then
the door bell rang. 1t was Franks aunt
and cousin, who had come to spend the
evening. Frank had lots of fun
with his cousin. but suddenly he thought
OF his home work. He left his cousin to
do his work, but It was too late to do 1t
now. There was so much noise and talk
that he couldn't do it. So he had to put
It away
The next morning he had to stay and do
his homework twice. You may be sure he
never left his homework undone again
while he read the paper, He always does
il first now.
His mother said that It served him right
because he was disobedient, and it shows
there is some truth in the saying, "Work
first and play afterward."
