Poor Woman Helped Nelshbors

Dear Aunt Laurie;
Ny grandmother used to tell me all
kinds of stories. and one of them was
returning good for evil. Once upon a
time there lived very poor widow
and she was SO good and kind hearted
to every living thing All the neigh
bors were cross and cruel to her. They
would make their dogs bark at night
so that the poor woman could not get
a wink of sleep. Sometimes she would
be pressed to go into the fields to earn
a little money which she would have
to spend on doctor bills and medicine.
All the neighbors saw that the poor
woman was sick all the time and
needed help, but they would not give
it, for that was in olden times and
some people did not care whether a
poor person lived or died.
Now it happened one day that the
neighbor's family right next door got
sick all at the same time. As they
did not have friends of any kind, and
as the poor widow saw this, she got
out of her sick bed and went over to
take care of them.
They were surprised to see that after
they had treated her so miserably.
The widow stayed with them as long
as they were in need of her help and
she taught them many good things.
They soon found out that they were
doing very wrong and when they got
we'll again the poor widow was never
treated bad again from anybody.
They would come to her house and
listen to her teaching of the golden
rule and many of them that were bad
turned into good And the poor wom-
an was taken good care of until she
went to the other world.

Billy had been standing - me watch
ing the cats fight, but I thought
would just wait to see what Billy
would do, and pretty soon he ran to
the weir and Peter growled at him, but
he ran back to me and barked and
barked for me to come to Peters res
cue, so I started and Billy would run
on little way, then come back and
run on again.
When l pulled Peter out he was very
weak. Billy was jumping around and
wagging his tail, for he seemed very
glad he had helped save his enemy.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 think you are doing very well
about the prizes by changing it into
subscription, because I think children
who write and get prizes would be glad
to take the paper.
We have taken The Herald for two
years and 1 enjoy writing to the Junior
so much that we would not change the
paper for anything. I have never ex-
pected to win a prize, because what
little I write to you l write at nights.

Injury Brought Forgiveness

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In a little village on the western
slope of the Rockies 1 met two little
girls.
They were of no relation and were
very different in character. One was
sweet and gentle and the other was
lively and loud. Mary Franks, the gem
tie, sweet faced one, lived IN little
cottage at the foot of the mountains.
Julia McDod lived in a large two
story house across the street from
Mary.
The two girls were together most all
of the time. They went to school to-
gether, played together and were the
greatest chums in the village. On a
summer day, when Mary and Julia were
on their way to school, they started
to quarrel.
Mary had received a beautiful gold
ring, set with a diamond. Marys folks
were not wealthy and she had never
had such a beautiful treasure.
"See my new ring, Julia. My Uncle
Ned sent it for my birthday" and she
held up her hand for inspection.
"'Taint no diamond, it's just glass"
said Julia, who was inclined to be
jealous.
"Oh, yes it is, julia" responded the
girl. "My uncle told papa that it was"
"And your father told your"
"Yes," said Mary.
'How do you know he told the
TRUTH"
The little girls eyes flashed.
"How dare you, Julia McDod! You
know very we'll my father never tells
falsehoods."
"Thats a nice.-way to talk to your
chum. Don't you How dare Inc again"
And off she ran.
The next afternoon when Julia re-
turned from school she sat on the
curb of the street.
"That was sort of hateful to tell her
that her father lied," she said to her
self. Maybe when ma finds out she'll
make me go over an apologize, but
just won't"
She sat for quite a while thinking,
when suddenly she spied one of her
schoolmates across the way.
SARA, Sara, wait a minute" and
she jumped up to run across the street.
She was in about the center of the
street, when milkmans wagon came
along so fast that he could not stop
at once,
''Hi there, girl, get out of the way"
the driver called Julia stopped and
looked around when, thump-but she
didn't remember any more. When the
news reached Mary that Julia had been
hurt she forgot all the hard feelings.
"Oh, l just must go and see her."
she told her mother. So she went and
talked with Julia; she brought her
flowers every day.
Thus Mary Franks returned good for
the evil Julia McDod had done.
Don't you think she was very nice
and forgiving, Aunt Laurie?

disposition Needed sweetenIns

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once there was two little boys, one
of them a newspaper boy who had
poor mother to support, the other the
son of rich parents. The rich boy did
not like the poor boy
He made fun of him every time he
saw him The newsboy did not pay any
attention to the rich boy when he called
him names.
One day the rich boys father sent
him down to get a paper from the
newsboy He told him to get the paper
at the nearest corner he could find be-
cause he was in a hurry.
He walked up to the boy and said:
IT want a paper, you ragged beggar;
here's a dime for it. You look like you
need something" This hurt the poor
boys feelings badly, but he did not say
anything for a while. and pretty soon
he said mo, do not care to take it,
You can go and get some candy or ice
cream with it. Perhaps it will sweeten
your disposition. ELSIE BRYANT.

along the waters edge. Rover began
to bark, and Wilbur, forgetting him
self for moment, ran and pushed the
poor dog far into the water.
How sorry he was when he saw the
struggling animal trying it's best to
reach the shore. He ran up to 1t as
it neared the waters edge and petted
it and tried to pay back for the dam
age he had done.
After the dog had eaten some of
Wilbur's lunch it sat up and licked
his hand and seemed to return good
for the evil which Wilbur had done
him. ARTHUR MOBILES.

An Early Vacation

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My little sister was asking mamma
to explain the meaning of returning
good for evil, when I remembered and
told her about a dear little girl who
came home, weeping, to her mother
because her school chum had been un-
kind to her.
1t almost broke her loving little
heart, and, though her mother told her
not to mind and to find another play
mate, she sobbed out that she could
not do that.
Before she returned to school she
gathered some of her choicest flowers.
Mamma said: ITO whom are you
going to give them, dear?" and she an
swered, II am going to hand them to
her mamma and see if they will bring
her back to me-"
There was a great reunion and they
became better friends than ever, be-
cause her dear little forgiving heart is
always ready to return good for evil.
l do not know yet whether we can
join the Juniors in the merry treat you
are planning. l would like to write
you about the birds and animals and
flowers we see and the good times we
are having in the mountains, where we
are visiting. DOROTHY MILLER.

Anticipates Midsummer Frollc

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Two boys got in a fight. One of the
bows was lame and the other was
stout lad named Ben. The lame boy
had no one to help him.
Harry. good Christian boy who saw
the fight, saw that Ben was getting
the best of the lame boy and he went
over and helped the lame boy.
AS soon as Ben saw that Harry was
going to help the lame boy he cooled
down and would not fight. He said,
"I'lI get the best of Harry yet"
The next day Harry came in the
schoolroom he had to pass Ben's seat,
and Just as he was going down the
aisle Ben tripped him. Harry fell and
hit his head on the seat. He became
unconscious.
In a few days Harry was better and
wanted Ben to go to church. Ben was
very poor and had no shoes to wear.
Harry bought him some shoes.
When Ben got the shoes he thought
of how mean he had treated Harry.
He felt so ashamed he did not want to
go to his house to thank him. He
wrote a note telling him how sorry
he was that he had treated him so
mean and asked him to forgive him.
Ben also wrote him how very glad he
was to get the shoes. Harry forgave
him very willingly
1 would like very much to take part
in the frolic you will give in the sum-

A boy and girl went to school.
Their names are Earl and Gladys. 1t
happened one day that boy by the
name of Arnold got sick and had to go
to the hospital for an operation.
Gladys felt very badly over it. When
he got better and came home she was
much pleased.
Earl felt left in the cold on account
of his playmate's regard for Arnold.

Billy Protects Cat
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 will tell you story about my dog
and cat. My cats name is Peter and
the dogs name is Billy Peter is about
years old and Billy months. Peter
thinks the whole place belongs to him,
so when Billy came he thought him
quite an intruder
Billy is very playful and brave until
the cat comes; then he will hide behind
something and watch the cat with one
eye, for every time he sees Billy he
chases and scratches him.
One day Peter was fighting another
cat out by our irrigating weir, which
is about four feet deep, and the cats
kept backing off until Peter fell into
the weir. So he scratched around and
tried to get out, but he was so weak
that he could just cling onto the sides.

1t was a bad fight and five men tried
to make them stop. A certain man
came along and said that he could
make the dog let go. He had key in
his pocket He put 1t in the dogs
nose and twisted it, The dog let go.
The dogs parted, looking angrily at
each other They were not friendly for
a long time. Afterward the dog that
had the other dog by the ear brought
him a piece of meat which he had
buried for himself. He gave him the

WHEAT IS STILL
ON DOWN GRADE
Crop Conditions Are Good and
Prices Take a Drop
EXPORT DEMAND Is DULL
Bad Reports on Corn Crop in Okla

Prlces-Oats Close Weak
and Provisions Firm.
EXPORT DEMAND Is DULL

Chicago, August 1.-THE wheat market
was bearishly affected today by ideal
conditions for the rapidly maturing crop
in the northwest and prices declined more
than lie on all deliveries. AT the close
the net losses were 7sc to %Q1e. Corn
and oats closed weak but provisions
were firm.
A moderate show of strength was dis
played in the wheat market early in
the session owing to hot weather in the
northwest, which was claimed might aid
in the spread of the black rust blight
Opening quotations were shade to &c
above the final figures Of the previous
session, September ranging from 81. 041a
to 81 .055s
Dispatches from winnipeg claimed that
harvesting would begin in Manitoba this
week and would be in full progress by
August 10, and that a heavy yield was
practically assured. The Oklahoma re-
port, which estimates the total yield for
wheat for that state at 100000 bushels
100000 more than shown by government
statistics-was an additional weakening
influence.
( Export demand was also extremely dull
and this prompted further selling The
range for the day on September was
81. 039s to 81. O5A The market closed
weak at almost the bottom with Septem-
Der $1031k
A startling deterioration of 26 points in
the condition of the corn crop III Okla
homa during last month as shown by the
state report had a a bullish effect on
the corn market early in the session, but
sentiment became bearish during the last
half of the day owing to generally
weakening of cash markets in the south
west. The close was weak at almost the
bottom final quotations being A@9sc to
&c below Saturdays close.
Oats were weak throughout the en-
tire day owing to liberal sales by coun-
try dealers inspired mainly by the heavy
yields being reported by threshers. De-
clines of 1ac to &c in the price of the
cash grain also had a depressing infiu-
ence At the close prices were &c to
1hc lower than Saturdays final quota
tons.
Provisions were firm all day because
of buying prompted by a falling off in
receipts of live hogs at western pack
ing centers At the close prices were
unchanged to 171kc higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
