A Kind Deed

BY Gladys Hartwell, Aged 10 Years,
Clarks, Neb. Red Side.
There once lived in Washington a girl
by the name of Edith Winters. Now,
Edith was very proud. selfish and un-
kind, while Margaret st. Glare, her friend,
was just the other way. One day while
Margaret and Edith were out walking they
saw a poor girl. Strange to say, the
naughty. proud Edith went to her and
Margaret followed. Edith asked what
she wanted She said a nickel. Edith
said poohl and turned away. Margaret
asked her to tell her story. Then Mar
garet took her home with her. 1t was
afterwards found she was Edith's sister.
This taught Edith a lesson; she was never
naughty, proud or selfish again.

Marie's First Happy New Year

By Marguerite Gallagher, Aged 10 Years.
&8 West Washington Avenue, Coun-
ell Bluffs, Ia Blue Side.
Marie was a small girl who had neither
father nor mother. For a long time she
had begged enough money to pay for the
small attic in which she had lived. It was
just yesterday that tbs cruel landlord had
turned her out. 1t was New Years eve,
ana as she passed along the street she
could smell the savory odor Of roast goose
and many other good things. At last she
became so tired that she could not walk
much farther, so she walked up the steps of
q large stone house and timidly rang the
bell. TIL door was opened by a sweet-faced
lady, whom she asked II they would give
her shelter for the night. The lady took
her to a pretty little bedroom.
The next day was New Years and Marie
found some pretty clothes on the foot OF
the bed in which she had slept. She found
out that the lady was her aunt and she
had a very happy New Year.

The Toboggan Party

By Alta Wtlken, Aged 10 Years, Waco,
Neb. Red Side.
"oh. mamma, Sadie Stowe just sent me
all invitation to CONS to her house Friday
to a toboggan party; please may 1 go?"
asked Jennie and her mother said she
might. Friday came at last and Jennie was
reody to go. They were to come at 1850
and stay until 1890. When she got to
aides house nearly all OF her friends were
there. They went outdoors and down the
hill they flew, exchanging merry words as
they sped by each other. The uphill work
warmed them and put roses into their
cheeks. Time flew so pleasantly that no
one realized how late 1t was until an in
vitation from Sadie to go to the house
warned them. Such cups of delicious coffee,
such dainty sandwiches. such splendid
homemade cake were never known except
at Sadiets. Before going home the children
went into the parlor and sang songs When
they were ready to go home they found a
large bobsled waiting to take each one to
their home. which they declared was the
best part OF the evening.

One day Albert was coming home from

shoulder and he was feeling as mean and
discontinued as any little boy could ever
feel. 1t was a lovely afternoon in Sep

think a little boy would feel so out OF

He passed a little stream and then he
thought he would rest himself on the messy
bank for awhile. He took one of his books
in his hand to read. but he soon fell asleep
and had a dream which proved valuable
to him.
II wish. I WISH" began Albert in his
dream.
He was startled by someone saying to
him, well. what do you wlsh2

And what Is the rule" asked Albert.

someone every day" Now see If this

Albert woke up only to find hat there
was no brownie near him.. He then knew
he had a dream, but he never forgot the
rule which he carried out even to this day.

it to the lower land. but evidently the

Two Little Fairies, or How He
Was Made King

BY Fred Sorry, Monarch, Neb., Aged II
Years. Red Side.
Two thousand years ago there once lived
two beautiful little fairies. They dwelt be-
side a large lake, whose waters were as
clear as the sky. Fish of many kinds would
leap from the waters in their play. There
lived near the lake a kind-hearted. prince,
who took pity on any poor creature. One
clear morning the prince took a little stroll
beside a large green wood. He saw a lit
tie rabbit hopping around suffering with
pain. The prince soon caught the little
thing. Its mate was under a pile of dead
branches, but he hoped away when he
saw the prince. The prince took the rib
bon from his hat and bound It tightly
about the animals leg. He then let It go,
and 1t scampered off in the woods. The
prince went home, for It was growing dark,
and went to bed early so he could rise
early.
Just as he was going to sleep the W lit
tie fairies stood by his bedside. One be-
gan to speak.
you have lone a kind deed this morn
Ing the fairy said, land you will remem-
Der 1t all your life. This morning you came
across a little rabbit. Its leg was broken
and you bound it with this ribbon" She
held the ribbon up. and said again: at was
l to whom you did this kind deed. I shall
give you three wishes for your reward,
which you may guess for yourself"
The prince said: my first wish h be
that I may be the next king; my second,
that I may be happy and cheerful; my
third. that I may marry a beautiful prin-
cess"
The fairies vanished without saying a
word. The prince went fast asleep and got
up early. for he had to count his fathers
gold. Many years passed by, and finally
his father died. The prince was made king,
and lived happy and cheerful ruling his
people, just as he had wished. He was mar
ried soon after. 1t was all done by helping
a little rabbit. Just as the little fairy said.
He remembered this as long as he lived.
