THE HARVEST MOON.

Once upon time there was a little
boy, just five years old, who started
out one day for nuts. He went out in
the woods and after filing his sack
with nuts he thought he would go
home. Thinking he had the right path
he started off. hurrying for fear It
would be dark when he reached home,
but the path was the wrong one and
led him farther into the forest. 1t
soon grew dark and he watched the
stars come out one by one and then
the harvest moon.
Then lying down, he watched the
moon. All at once he thought he saw
the moon wink at him, and then grin.
Presently the moon Hello!
old boy, what are you doing here"'
Tommy, for that was the boys name,
said: 81 came after nuts and have
lost my way" Then the moon said
81 will tell you story Alright"
agreed Tommy So the moon began:
Last night I saw a great field CT
corn and wheat Then I noticed two
figures reaping the corn. knew right
away that they were reaping it so it
would be gone by morning, and they

to such work as that, but | must re-
member that everyone isn't doing
wrong. They hauled the corn away,
and the next morning-how angry the
farmer was to see that his corn was
gone. He investigated and found out
who it was. How glad was, but l
didn't get to see the farmer and his
men investigating, but the field mouse
told me-" Thus the moon finished his
story Meanwhile Tommy's mother
and father were very anxious about
him, so his father and some men went
out and hunted him. They found him
in the forest sound asleep. They
woke him up and took him home, but
they had feast with the nuts. Tom
my still believes that he was really
talking with the moon.

One week before the purchase was
made of the state called Iowa. my
grandma's friends, father and wife,
came to Ottumwa from Fairfield, Ia.
OF course they hadn't any right to be
here before the land was opened up
for settlement, but they did not know
this, or knowing, did not think they
would be SEEN and might stay around
until the time came for taking claims.
They camped first at Garrison Rock,
a cave-like bluff of solid rock near
where Cliffland now stands. The SOL
diers We're stationed there and the
only thing that saved the settlers
from having to go back to Fairfield
was the fact that the soldiers had not
seen anyone for so long and especial
ly women folks, that they told them
that il they would keep the children
inside the rock cave they might stay.
One soldier was drunk and he said
that they had to go back to Fair
field right away, but the others We're
so glad to get a decent bite to eat
that they would have done most any
thing to keep them there.
The women folks baked some pies
on a little old Dutch oven and set
them UP on the rocky edge of Garri-
son Rock to cool and be safe from
the dogs that always go with covered
wagons. The settlers stayed there one
week and then blazed them out a
home in what was then a wilderness.
The farm that they entered as a
claim is still owned by the youngest
brother of my grandma's friend.

This is a story of my adventure
with a little postboy in the northern
part of Sweden.

tense cold. made my journey in the
winter because | was On my way to
Lapland, where it is easier to travel
when the swamps and rivers are
frozen, and the reindeer sled can fly
along over the smooth snow. 1t was
very cold, indeed, the greater part Of
the time. The days were short and
dark and II had not found the peo-
pie SO kind, SO cheerful, and so hon
back more than once.
They are tall, strong race, with
yellow hair and bright blue eyes, and
the handsomest teeth ever saw.
They are very happy and contented,
and few of them would be willing to
leave that cold country and make
their homes in a warmer climate.
Here there are neither railroads nor
stages. The government, however, has
established post stations at distances
varying from ten to twenty miles. At
each station number of horses are
kept. The traveller has his own sled,
and simply hires the horses from one
station to another.
These horses are furnished either
by the keeper of the station or by
some of the neighboring farmers, and
when they are wanted, man or boy
goes along with the traveller to bring
them back

smoked the peace pipe, or the calu-
met. The smoke rose slowly, slowly,
through the clear air OF the morning.
First 1t was single line, then a
denser, bluer vapor; then It seemed
to be cloud rising, rising, until It
touched the top OF the heavens, where
It broke and rolled away in every
direction. From every part of the
country the tribes saw the smoke and
their prophets cried: 'Behold the
smoke; 1t is signal and beckons US
to hold Gitche-Man-i-to. Then the war
riors from all tribes sailed down the
river and ran aclNss the prairies to
the Pipestone Quarry. They were
painted las the leaves in autumn
painted as many bright colors as are
in the sky in the morning. Many
tribes that had been at war met here
and glared at each other with much
hatred on their faces. showing the bit
terness In their hearts. Then he told
them to battle In the stream that flow
ed near by; wash the warpaint from
their faces, and bury their war-clubs
and hatchets. When they came from
the river their war-paint had disap-
peared and they had buried their clubs
and hatchets and went home, each one
smoking peace pipe, and this is why,
when the forest looks all filled with
smoke it is called Indian summer.
