getting no facts but those favorable
to the accused superintendent and the
accused newspapers. Is there any
thing fair about this? The
Journal is not large paper and re
prints" take upsyaluable space. Be
fore it undertakes further discussion
of this topic, however, it is due to
the Journals readers that that paper
should cite the following facts: ."
Hadn't the Herald better take some
of its own medicine before it assumes
to lecture others on the ordinary de-
cencies of debate?'
The Herald need have no trouble
with the Banner. We probably shan't
agree because the Banner is a strict
believer that TIE greatest care of gov
ernment should be to look after the
interests and welfare Of the rank and
file of the people. Not because they
are any better or have any more
rights than the millionaires and big
manufacturing and business interests,
but because they have fewer advaAf
tages and are less able to take care 4
themselves. But we have no quarrel
with the Herald because it appears
to take the other side
1t should remember, however that
both sides are entitled TO an argh
ment. 1t can gain nothing by taking
the attitude of a spoiled child and fig
uratively lying down on the floor and
roaring when it cannot have its own

way undisputed. 1t has called the
Banner more names and INDUCED in
more epithets in this one article re-
printed in this paper than the Banner
has applied to the Herald in the past
seven years. We cherish no resent
ment for we know it is but the Her
AIDS choleric and mercurial way, but
FOR the dignity of the profession, the
Herald should read with more exact
ness what it essays to answer and
reply to what has been said and not
what it imagines is implied. 1t
should be more charitable in debate
and less excitable in action.

that the cock began to crow. The trees
showed their foliage plain as day and
the wild flowers showed their blossoms.
All at once the moon went behind a
cloud. Then it came out again. It shone
very brightly. BY this time the man
had come to a thick-wooded place. He
did not see a robber behind a large tree.
Again the moon went under a cloud.
Now" thought the robber, NOW is my
very chance" And the robber jumped
from behind a tree.
"Your bags or your life" said he.
But the messenger said: IL sh all not
not for you, you villain" "Ohol you
won'tf" said the robber. mo, sir" said
the man. The man was dying fast, and
as he had no weapon ne could do moth

last the robber succeeded in killing him
and got away with the money. That
morning at dawn the owl whispered to
the cock that a man lay dead in the road.

story of this. 1t was headed, 'The Stab -

Mildred's Visit to Fairyland

Mae Hammond, Aged II Years. O'Neill,
Neb. Blue Side.
One day when Mildred was down by the
brook she saw a very small boat coming
toward her. 1t was an elf boat. The elves
were drinking dew, thinking that they
must be hungry, she threw a strawberry
over to them. Pretty soon an elf flew
over and said, 81 have come over to thank
you for the strawberry. Today we are
visible and will give you anything you
wish 'Oh, take me to fairy land!'
Well" said the fairy, las you are a good
girl, will take you" But a troubled look
came on Mildred's face; you see l am so
big / would break your boat down. The
elf laughed and said, Look into the
brook" Mildred looked, and she saw a
little girl in a pink dress and sonbonnet
standing under a violet. But how shall l
get across?" The elf took her hand and
pretty soon she was in the boat. Now l
can go to fairyland any time l want TO-"
thought Mildred, but the elves said among
themselves she ought to go to asleep, be-
cause it is not very often that a child
goes TO fairyland. So the elves sang, and
soon she was asleep. When she awoke
she was In fairyland. The elves told her
that there was going to be a party, so
they went into a palace, and the crickets
were playing and the elves were dancing.
Pretty soon an elf came up and said,
Come, little daughter, you must come to
supper. You have been sleeping all after
noon"

The Slide on The Hill

BY Mary Thompson, Aged 9 Years, ia South
Seventeenth Street, Council Bluffs, Ia,
Red Side.
The snow was falling fast while a bunch
OF children were gathering on the hill with
their sleds. Helen and Roy looked out OF
the parlor window and saw Cora and Mar
garet going up to coast. Both turned to
their mamma, who sat knitting in the sit
ting room. Helen said, Mamma, can't
Roy and I go up and coast down the hill,
Corla and Margaret are going? Oh, please
let us co. Mamma looked up and said,
Yes, you may 60" Roy jumped up and
ran for his coat and cap and Helen ran
upstairs, got her wraps on and ran into the
nursery to nave Jane tie her shawl around
her neck, for mamma had told her to bundle
up good. BY the time Helen came down
stairs Roy had both sleds' on the porch.
They ran UP the hill and each tried to beat
the other in sliding down. BY nightfall
they were tired out. They went home to
tell mamma of their slide. Jane had a
lunch ready for them. When they were
tucked in their beds Roy said, Mamma,
we had a beautiful slide"

One Thing at a Time

BY Augustus schad, Aged II Years, Se2
Trinity Avenue. New York City,
N. Y. Red Side.
C there was a big gray cat who lived
in a mill and h had five kittens. There
was always plenty of mice in the mill and
she was always trying to catch them.
Bvery morning she would go slyly about
the bags of grain looking for them. One
morning as she went walking through the
bags she saw two small mice looking for
their breakfast She layed very stnl and
watched them as they gnawed a hole in
a bag and began to eat the grain.
She sneaked up and caught them by
their tails. She felt very happy when she
felt both their tails under her paws. She
was thinking Of the feast she was going
to have when the one on the right slipped
but as she went to catch It again
the other got away. She was very sorry
she did not take one at a time. Moral:
1t never pays to do two things at once.

Okl. Blue Side.
"Hurrahl I've got an invitation to go to
the valentine party at Henry Morgan's to-
night" SO saying. Martin Flyne burst into
the room, carrying an envelope in one hand
and a sheet of paper in the other. II tell
you, mother, 1 just must have another
cap IL I 60"
The Mertons were poor people and Mrs.
Merton sewed TO help earn a living for
three children Fred, Kate and Sarah were
their names. They lived just across the
street from F1ynes, and Fred could not have
a new cap when he wanted It. but Martin
could. Both the boys went to the party
that night. One of the many things the
children did was to line UP, go into another
room, where they found a table covered
with small boxes. Henry Morgan got up
on the table and said; Now, come up,
one by one; take your box and find a seat
and wait till I tell you what TO do next"
Martin pushed ahead, being a very selfish
child, ana grabbed the largest box there.
Fred walked timidly up and took the small
est box there. When all OF them had got
ten boxes and seats Henry said, Now
open them and see what luck you had.
All opened their boxes and all Of them
found pretty valentines but Martin, who
looked in and found nothing but a slip OF
