think 1t good. but his mother said it was
fine. The next day was still worse; he
had only so cents. The next day was
much better; he had $3.50. One day as
he was selling them a boy took his bas-
ket and ran away. Paul started after
him, but as the streets were crowded he
lost track of him. He went home very
sad. He told his mother all about it; he
had only rs cents. The next day ne

necktie stand. 1t was for sale. The
owner said he had TO go away for his

The Story of the Pine Tree
BY Helen yerrill, Aged l2 Years, The streh

BY Helen Verrill, Aged ~ Years, The Streh-
low, No. 10, Omaha. Blue Side.
Now, this is the story Daisy told as 1
was resting inside the carnation. 1t told
me why the pine tree holds its branches
UP.
Many hundreds years ago, when pine tree
branches grew like any other trees there
was a king who reigned over the rainbow.
He had a most beautiful sister called
Nature, and at each end of the rainbow
was a pot of gold. The king had an enemy
whose name was Old Age.
Well, it was a bright moonlight night
and there came al old man walking
through the woods. He had something
under his coat, and at nearly every step
he looked around. So. you may be sure, he
wasn't doing right, and this was the kings
enemy.
The old man stepped on a twig and IT
cracked so loud that he got frightened
and took a big pot of gold from under his
coat and threw it up in a tree, and then
hurried away as fast as he could. Early
next morning the king went to his sister
and asked her If she had seen one of the
pots of gold; that it was gone. She said,
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-02

NO" Then the king went to all the trees
and asked them all IL they had seen 1t,
but none of them had.
When the king came to the forest where
the old man had been the night before, he
asked all tho trees in the forest, but they
had not seen 1t. The king then said, Hold
up your arms, that / may sec you are
telling the truth" All the trees held up
their arms, but out of one tree fell tho
pot Of gold. The king was very angry, and
said, 80 you are the thief, are our
The tree said, mo 1 had seen nothing of
the pot of gold until now. And to prove
my honesty, l am going to hold my arms
forever toward heaven"
And as Daisy ended the queen turned
to another little fairy whom she called
Violet and said, You may tell your story
next, Violet" Next week l will tell you
the story Violet told.

Fairy Land

By Harold Robinson, Aged u Years, 29il
Howard Street, Omaha. Red Side.
Chu, chu, the train bell rang, as the coa-
ductor shouted "All aboard for Fairyland,"
and the children mounted the train eagerly
to go to n. land Of sugar candy and ~
see wonders they had never seen. They
rode for miles. full OF hope and joy. until
they reached Falryland. At last the train
stopped and the children filed out one by
one. At first they were frightened to zee
little black men, but their fright was
turned to JOY to find that they were blncit
negro babies, and as they were like
black men, they soon disappeared.
The next thing their eyes fell upon was
a beautiful candy house. Some peeped
into the window and saw a beautiful fairy.
The children ran, but she called them back
and took them into her beautiful candy
home, and then they had the best time Of
their lives, feasting on the best things that
Fairyland could afford, and she told them
that when they had finished eating she
would take them out to see Faifyland.
Just then some one called, Harold, don't
you know what time It lie. You'll never
get to school," and l only wished II was
Saturday, so l wouldn't have to go 10

Something About Plants
BY Ethel Reed, Aged IA Years, Fremont
Neb. Red Side.

BY Ethel Reed, Aged IA Years. Fremont,
Neb. Red Side.
1 think the study Of plants is very in
teresting. The leave OF trees are folded
differently in the buds. Some are curled
UP. Others are folded along the mld-veins,
with the under side Of the leaf outside
and some with the upper part outside.
The scales on the buds, too, are placed
around them differently. Some are oppo-
site and some are alternate. All buds
rave more or less wax on them, to keep
the leaves and flowers warm in the win
ter.
In the maple buds there are three or four
little green cups, which are the lowers.
In the cups there are from five to twelve
little brown and red heads on stems.
These are called stamens and contain poll
len. In some of the cups there is a kind
of stem which divides into two parts at
the end. This is called a pistil. If the
pollen from the stamens fall on the pistil
it will make a seed. The seed of the maple
is called p winged key.

The Watched Pot Never Boils

BY Helen Heuck, Aged 10 Years. 1895 10th
rop Street., Omaha. Red Side.
All the girls were gathered in Sues room
ready to taste some new candy. or course,
Lou, as Sues 'inseparable," was there and
busily stirring the mixture, which Just
would not boil. No matter how much the
girls stirred and peeped into the pan. 1t
stayed just a lukewarm mixture. After
the candy had been on the stove for a half
hour Sue gave up in despair and sat down
on the bed to fan her hot cheeks. 1t was
nov 8 o'clock and they were all to attend
a lecture at 3:45s At 9I5 the candy was
still cool and the girls began to go to their
rooms to dress. All at once Sue determined
to find out just what was the matter with
that candy. All at once the girls heard
peals of laughter from Sues room and
when they Investigated the matter she
tried TO explain, and finally the girls un-
derstood that they had forgotten to light
the fire and 1t was too late to finish the
candy before the lecture. She said they
should gather in her room at 8. Moral:
The Watched Pot Never Boils."

once there were six squirrels. The
mother and father squirrel and the four
baby squirrels. They lived in a hollow
tree. The tree was in the woods and was
a nut tree. One day one OF the squirrels
ran up to a basket Of nuts. He saw q
dog running after him and ran as fast ne
his little legs could carry him. The dogs
name was Rover, and II was Mary's dog.
Mallet was her cat. Mary called out.
''Rover, leave that squirrel alone" and
Rover went back 70 her. Mother and

Mischievous Evelyn

BY Myrtle Jensen, Ex-Queen, Aged 70
Years, 2e09 lizard Street, Omaha. Blue
Side.
Eveiyn's long colleen curls and perfect
features had always been a source Of pride
to her adm!ring, indulgent mother, and
today, when Mrs. Van Rensselaer, tele-
phDned up that she would call to see the
pretty child, Mrs. Bradford had arranged
her hair prettier than ever and dressed
her in her blue dress and sash.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, had been touring
Europe for the past two years and the
year before the Bradfords had been trav-
cling out west. SO Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
had really not seen Evelyn since she was
2 years old.
When Evelyn was ready her mother
took her down in the library. Henriette,
Mrs. Bradford's own maid, stood at the
top of the stairs saying to herself, did
anyone ever see such a charming miss Of
8 as our own Miss Evelyn"
Leaving Evelyn on a sofa to sit stiff
and prim till the guest came, Mrs. Brad
ford went upstairs. Soon the doorbell
rang and Mrs. Bradford, as graciously as
possible, ushered her guest into the library.
Where was Evelyn? She was nowhere
in sight. Running out of the room with
Mrs. Var Rensselaer, at her heels, Mrs.
Bradford searched all of the rooms on the
first floor. Not a trace Of the missing
child! After exploring the second floor,
they were about to go out doors, when
Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, with her hand on
the doorknob Of Mrs. Bradford's boudoir,
said, 1--WE haven't looked In here"
On opening the door Mrs. Bradford threw
up her hands with modification. I'm
having a fine time, mumsey," said Evelyn,
holding VI a hair puff and a couple Of
switches.
On the floor lay countless boxes and
bottles Of complexion cream and powder.
Mrs. Bradford had always Dragged of her
own thick black hair, and now Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, could tell the world that It
was false.
Seeing that trouble was breeding, Mrs.
Var Rensselaer, took her departure and
well, probably you can guess what hap
pened to Evelyn.

The Spelling Match
By Verna K~irschbaun, Aged 10 Years, 511
South Twenty-fourth Street, Omaha,
Neb. Blue Side.

South Twenty-fourth Street, Omaha,
Neb. Blue Side.
There was to be a spelling match at
school,, in which all the children were to
AXE part. The prize was $40, which was
offered by Mr.. Grey, who was on the
school board.
OF the children who were to take part,
Mary Brown was the most anxious to win,
because she knew that the $40 would buy
many things that would be useful to her
family.
The children often came to her to invite
her to play with them. but she always re-
fused, saying that she had to study.
At last the day for the spelling match
arrived and the children were very much
excited.
out were spelled correctly. At last came
the word, Sacrifice and one by one the
children missed. Mary realized that her
turn would come soon, and as everyone
else was missing the word she knew that
the time had come for her to fail or to
win. She knew what the word meant, for
had not her mother sacrificed all she had
to give Mary an education?
At last came the word, next and Mary
realized that It was her turn.
She closed her eyes, and the letters
seemed to come to her mind. She spelled
the word and as she stopped and heard
the people clapping. she knew that she
had won the prize.
But after school, as she was walking
home she said to herself. II don't believe
l will ever miss the word sacrifice again
