The Nav Pole Party

BY Rena N. Mead. Queen Bee, Aged 10
Years, Blair, Neb. Blue Side.
1t was May day and the children In Glen
dale were having a fine time in Emma
James large front lawn. A big tall pole
with green and white strings stood in the
center. The little boys and girls filed In
one by one, expecting to have a nice time.
There were just t~wenty-four, for that
was all that could play at the May pole.
Twelve were girls and twelve were boys.
All were small, for Emma lane was only
5 years old.
After lunch the climax came. They were
dancing round the May pole when Emma
lane stepped on Helen's string. 1t was
carelessly done, but 1t was not to be helped
now. Heller. was angry because Emma
Jane would not give up her string. She
knew she could not play any longer at
that, so she began to throw angry taunts
at Emma Jane. you horrid, horrid GIRL
she said. II shall never. never come to
your party again. She emphasized this
with a stamp Of her small foot.
81 don't care II you don't, we shan't
miss you much. l only wish you would &c
home right now
Helen could not stand this any longer
so she began to cry and started for the
gate.
Just at this time Emma James mother
came out to see what the trouble was
She was ashamed Of Emma Jane. Heller
was called back and Emma Jane was
forgiven.
Mrs. Grey, for that was Emma James
mother. sewed the string together and tho
fun went on as before.
When they started home Emma Jan'
kissed Helen and told her that it was al
her fault and she should have given vi
her string, but Helen thought different
because she had been SO hasty with hel
words.

Street, Lincoln, Neb. Red Side.
Dear Esther: / wish you would get rid OF
that horrid cat. She scares me- almost to
death. Yesterday when l went 20 take my
sun bath Miss Puss beat me to the tub.
Today for the first time Helen noticed me
when the cat chased me. After she went
out puss tried to get into my cage. but the
door was too small.
I can never have any fun with the baby
because the cat is always on the watch.
I think II you do not get rid Of puss I shall
fly out OF the window and never come back
again. II you like me and want me TO
stay ! think you will send her away. Your
affectionate bird, DICKIE.

at boiling heat. And when we get him
we'll Kill him; that's the way Wen put a
stop TO his fighting with jagged sticks
which break mems noses and almost put

But Squinkie did not hear the White
Hunters threat against him, for he was
making all possible speed through the
forest, leaTing from branch to branch, from
tree to tree, with the rapidity of a bird on
the wing, and before the White Hunters
face had been wrapped in a bandage torn
from his own garments, Squinkie was far,

was a little girl, why that child looks
exactly like her.
The man walked toward Nellie and
asked her what her name was and she
told him Nellie Harris. 1t happened that

NEW YORK, March 23.-The stock

the effect Of the reduction of the short
interest which has been brought about
bv the driving to cover of the bears
of yesterday. and indeed ever since
the introduction of the tariff revision
bill into Congress. Some attempt
was made today b. the professional
element to extend the advance. but
the amount of stock for sale at the
higher price levels proved an obstacle.
The market lapsed into extrem"
dullness and then ran on rapidly For
cign influences which were potent yes
to-day on the side Of The advance.
were no longer operative in that dircc-
tiCn. There was some revival OF uh-
casiness over the Balkan situation
abroad and London was a seller OF
stocks here on moderate scale.
The degree of encouragement pro-
fessed by various authorities in the
steel trade is calculated to arouse
some caution among professional
spectators. who take these state
ments as cOnfirmatory Of information
on which stock market action has al
ready been taken. Aavices from the
