The Story of the Apple Blossom

BY Eunioe Bode, Aged u Years. Falls
City, Neb. Lock Box 229. Blue Side,
Bob Robin brought me an invitation to
Queen Roses reception. You may imagine
how much II meant to a little apple bios
som like me to be invited. As 1t may i'm
terest you l will tell you about 1t. First
we were ushered into the reception room
by buinblebeos, who saw to il that we were
seated and then We were entertained by
some lovely music that was given by a
quartet Of bees, who certainly sang in a
most p~raiseworthy manner. Miss Bluebell
sang a solo, which l enjoyed very much,
for, as l have said before, l am very fond
of music.
We had a royal visitor, the queen of
fairies, whom 1 had never seen before. 1
have a very good impression of her, for
she seemed so sweet and gentle. Queen
Rose and she are very dear friends and 1
overheard her telling the queen that my
modest manner pleased her very much.
Delicious refreshments were served. They
consisted of honey waters and dew and
then we all went home.
1 am not feeling we'll today. My petals
are so loose tina 1 am afraid they will
drop off. One has blown away already
and 1t was my very prettiest, too, for 1t
had such a lovely blush of pink on it that
1 was quite proud of it. / guess 1 am not
q pretty blossom any more. Oh, dearl l
do wonder what is going to happen to me.
We will see next week.

A Bavre Girl
"a Reproduction).


BY Ruth Erickson, 10 Years, SwedebITg,
Neb. Red Side.
Little Mary lived with her father and
mother In a little cottage among the
mountains. Beautiful and sweet were the
short spring and summer, but when the
long winter came with its wind and snow,
It was often bleak and dismal in the lonely
mountain passes, But Mary was used to
1t and from her earliest years she had
learned to brave the cold, the wind and
the snow. She was tall and strong fnr
her age and her rosy cheeks showed that
she was enjoying good health. One day
when she and her mother were alone at
home, her mother was taken sick and
she had no medicine left. III | only
had some OF the medicine that l
got from Mrs. Fenton when l was sick
last spring" she said. THAT medicine
did me SO much good. and l know that
II will help me now" ID you think that
Mrs. Fenton has any of It left?' asked
Mary, Yes, for she gave me only a part
Of what she had and no one around has
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-23

been sick since, and 1 know she has it all
left" Then 1 will go and get it for you,'
said Mary and started at once to put on
her wraps. But are you not afraid to go
so far all alone across the lonely noun
tains? Are you sure you know the way?'
yes, I know the way all right" and I
am not at all afraid. Why, it was a great
deal deal worse to go to Mrs. Parsons
last week. l had only gone that way once
before and l got home all right" The
good mother knew how good and bright
her little girl was and she finally let her
go. But II she could have gotten up and
gone and felt how cold the wind blew over
the bleak mountain and how dark and
heavy the snow clouds gathered in the
horizon she would not have let her child
go. In her excitement to go on such an
errand Mary did not notice the snow
clouds either nor feel the piercing wind.
But 1t was not long before Mary was
ready to start from Mrs. Fenton's on her
way home that the storm came on. The
snow filled the air like a thick cloud all
around so that Mary could only see a few
feet ahead Of her. The wind blew the
snow into big drifts, and here and there
she could hardly get over some of the big
drifts. ShC soon lost her way for all
directions we're the same to her now. She
was frightened and began to run this way
and that way to find the path and got
further and further away from home. At
last she sat down to rest a moment and
to think what she should do. She soon
fell asleep and she dreamed that she was
sitting in the midst of roses and the sun
was shining on her. Soon her father
came home from a hunting expedition and
when he heard that little Mary was out
in this terrible storm he grew very
anxious. And although it was hard to
leave the sick mother he FASTENED away
to seek his lost child. He whistled for his
dog, the wise and faithful Ponto, and
showed him one of Mary,s mittens. The
dog at once understood what was wanted
of him and he was as eager as his master
to start on the search. The search was long
and for a while seemed hopeless. The
unhappy father was about to give up his
hunting when he thought he heard in the
distance the friendly bark of his faithful
Ponto. Yes, he was not mistaken. He
hurried in the direction of the dogs bark.
He soon reached the place and found his
daughter lying in the snow-drift almost
covered with snow. The father took her
in mis- arms and wrapped a blanket,
which he had taken along with him, and
then in his strong arms he carried her
home, following the lead of Pontp, As
soon as he reached home her father began
to rub her hands and face with snow to
take out the frost and to restore the cir
c~ulation of the blood. Mary soon opened
her eyes and looked around her to see
whether 1t was a dream. But she soon
felt the warm touch of Ponto's tongue
licking her hand and then she knew 1t
was no dream. Her first words were,
Mamma, the bottle of medicine is in my
pocket" The medicine at once helped her
mother and in a little while Mary was
herself again and as well and strong as
ever. But the greatest hero Of all was
the faithful Ponto who had found her and
saved her life.

III. Red Side.
In a beautiful orchard in California there
grew an apple and peach tree. 1t hap
pened in the time Of year when both were
In bloom.
One beautiful day in August the apple
tree said to the peach, II am better than
you are. l am prettier. too, and every
body loves me. and you are as ugly and
as mean as can be-"
The peach tree nodded and replied, Il
can't help It II you are p%rettier, but still
some people like me as well as they like
YOU"
"Oh, you think you are smart" said the
apple tree. I'm crimson and pretty"
The peach tree did not answer, but
thought it would get even some day. a
few days after a great storm arose. The
wind blew furiously and all at once the
apple tree gave a terrible crash and fell
to the ground.
After that the apple tree never dared say
anything against the peach tree.

An Exploring Trip

BY Irene Human, Aged 10 Years, 1870 North
Twenty-eighth Street, Omaha. Red Side.
Youth is always full of curiosity, and 1t
reached it's highest point at Lothrop school
when about thirty youngsters decided to
go on an exploring expedition to Florence
to hunt violets and anything else Of an in
teresting nature.
The fame of the great war balloon had
reached the ears of these children, and on
nearing the fort they decided to investigate.
AS we approached the building where the
balloons were kept the guard at the door
told us ''To move on" but one youngster
more mischievous than the rest spoke up
and said; well, Mister, we have to write
a composition on what we see" So the
guard kindly let us in, showed us through
and explained the different features of the
balloon.
This was a balloon made of the finest
quality of Japanese silk. 1t held 1900
cubic feet of gas and 1t was weighted down
with forty sandbags, each weighing forty
pounds.
Our feelings can only be imagined when
on Monday at noon the balloon was high up
in the sky, and next we heard 1t had
blown up and is now a thing of the past.

Seventeenth street, Lincoln, Neb'

The queen Of the brownies sat upon a
bank Of moss, In the form Of a star, and
.playfully watched her busy little brownies
work. The point of each corner OF the
star was an electric light, which when
ever It shone upon her beautiful face cast
a green light. A row of blue bells hung
above her head, and whenever she wanted
any OF her little servants, she touched
them with her wand, which brought forth
a sweet musical ring.
The brownies were busy all day long
making wreaths and chains out OF their
cherry blossoms, which they put upon their
queens head.
The trees IN those days were much larger
than they are now, and In the hollow OF
one OF thosS trees was the brownies home

How Johnny Won the Prize

BY Fred Sorry, King Bee, Monarch, wyo.
Red Side.
"Oh, mamma" said Johnny, running
into the kitchen, out of breath. MY old
hen is setting and no eggs under her.
What kind of eggs shall we put under
herr" said Johnny, with eyes wide open,
for he was thinking how many eggs he
was to set.
Let's set some white turkey eggs and
in a few weeks we shall have some little
yellow turkeys"
But, mamma, 1 thought you said a
while ago that you were going to set white
turkey eggs, not yellow
Yes, my boy, l said that, sure enough,
but they will be yellow when they hatch
and when they grow larger they will be-
come white"
Johnny's mamma brought out twelve
Eggs from a basket, which she had layed
away. Johnny put the eggs under the
hen and walked away, leaving the old
setting hen behind him. Days and days
passed by. By and by the eggs Matched,
and how surprised Johnny was. But there
was one little turkey so small and weak
1t couldn't keep up with the old hen.
Johnny took 1t in the house and put II
by the warm fire. 1t grew strong IN a
few days. Months passed by and the lit
tie turkey grew to be a large turkey. AS
the days passed by he grew more and
more beautiful. He was larger and pref.
tier than any turkey around there. II
happened that there was going to be a
county fair the next month, which was
August. Johnny took his turkey to the
fair and, what do you think, he got the
prize. He was surprised to see his turkey
wearing a blue ribbon around it's neck
How happy Johnny was when he saw this
The last day of the fair came and Johnny
went home with his turkey and the blue
ribbon tied around its neck. When Johnny
walked In the door of his home he jlngled
ten dollars in his pocket to show his
mother how happy he was. Johnny was
glad he had taken such good care Of the
turkey.
