Our -Four Visitors

BY Helen johnson, Aged "a Years, 9S4 south
seventeenth Street, Lincoln. Neb., Blue
Side.
While the warm summer winds were
blowing and the birds singing, a great dis
cussion was going on in Mother Natures
palace. Now this palace consisted Of four
rooms. Winters room. Springs room,
Summers room and Autumn's room.
Winters room was very cold looking.
In every corner was a. great throne Of
crystal, tinted with silver, and his icicles
hung around the ceiling. on the floor was
his soft blanket OF snow. Springs room
was such a cheerful sweet one. On one
side was a fence made of the dainty green
grass, which was covered with violet buds.
The other three sides also had fences
covered with half opened roses, daisies and
sweet peas, and long chains Of clover and
bluebells fell from the ceiling. In Sum
mer's room Mother Nature kept her deli
cate colors with which she painted the
skies. The merry chirps of the birds
were heard in her room, and now and then
a soft breeze stole from under the door.
All the beautiful birds were Gagged there.
the robin, bluejay, lark, %oriole, wood
peeker and others.
/ think Autumn's room was the more
beautiful. Strings Of autumn leaves which
were richly shaded with red, brown, green,
yellow and violet hung around the room.
A misty haze which was tinted with pur-
pie in some places enveloped the room
which was pierced with the golden sun
beams.

once ran downstairs to explain to the Off
Ger that his house-breakers had turned
out to be snowman costumers, and that
there was no need for any arrests. The
policeman laughed heartily on hearing
Harry's account of the burglars entrance
into the yard and good-naturedly warned
them to make earlier calls OF their
"neighbors' snow men, or to ask permits
sion TO come at such an unseemly hour
of the night.
OF course, the whole affair passed off
pleasantly and the officer was invited,
along with the burglars" to come into
the house and have a glass of cider and
a bit Of cake.
w thought Harry, would look from his
window In the morning and behold his
snow man fully dressed, and that he would
declare the figure mad become animated

one OF the "prowlers" as he munched a
slice OF homemade cake.
"NVell, that's quite a coincidence"
laughed Harry. Il was dreaming that my
snow man had come to lie and the dream
was so vivid that ] awoke. somewhat

lowed. The bees gave them their finest
honey. They gathered dsWdrops, which
were served as a drink. one OF the fairies
found a piece of ice and an orange on her
way. She had some OF the fairies make
some sherbet out OF It. SO you see the

BY Julius Brown, Aged S Years. 1922 Boule-
ward Avenue, Omaha. Red Side.
Little Fredie was a very bad boy. When
he did something mean and his mother
asked him II he did II. he would say, mo,
1 do not know anything about it." one day
his mother sent him to the store with a
quarter to get a loaf OF bread and bring
20 cents back. When Fredie got to the
store he told the storekeeper he wanted a
loaf OF bread and a sack Of tobacco for his
father Che really did not want It for hts
father. but wanted it for himself, as he
was in the habit of smoking and using bad
.language). The s%torekeeper at first would
not give It to him. but thinking maybe IL
was for his father, he gave it to him. on
arriving home he gave his mother the
bread and change, MY son." said the
mother, where is the other nickel?'' It
lost t." said Fredie. II am afraid you are
telling a lie," said the mother. NO 1
amt, mamma. I would not tell a lie"
After supper Fredie went 20 take a rest,
and in a few minutes was fast asleep. All
Of a sudden something touched on each
shoulder, on the right shoulder the Fairy
Of Righteousness tapped him, who said,
Come with me. Fredie. and / will show
you something nice" NO" said the Fairy
OF Badness, "he is coming with me" and
she pulled him with her. In a few minutes
they came to a lot of boys smoking and
using bad language and doing all sorts OF
bad things. All this redie liked. but when
people came by kicked and spit on them
he did not like. Just then Fredie woke
him. Mamma. - said Freddie, II will never
tell a lie again. l did not lose the nickel,
but bought me some tobacco to smoke.
Please forgive me-"

BY Rena N. Mead, Aged 10 Years, Blair,
Neb. ExQueen. Blue Side.
1t was Xmas eve and the children we're
all ready for bed with their little wooden
stockings hanging in a row over the fire
place. Grandma crossed the room on hor
way to bed n they all ciamored for a
story. so she settled herself in a big chair
with four eager, little faces peering at
her from the arms. 1t had TO be an Xmas
story. so this is what she told:
"when I was a little girl my father and
mother thought that It would be nice to
visit my grandparents on Xmas. They
lived fifty miles across the prairies from
us and as there were no railroads It would
take us quite a while to get there.
1--WE started ia a big bobsled filled with
hay and quilts and Travelled two days, stop
ping over night at a farm house, for the
oxen were very tired when night came
and we got cold in spite Of our wraps.
on the second day we met a party Of
Indians. They were very friendly for they
had stopped at grandfathers and got some
very nice eRtables. We arrived Just TWO
DAYS before Xmas. They were ali very glad
10 see us and We were glad to get I'm by
the great log fire.
Il was soon put TO bed so l didn't get
to see Uncle John, who had gone TO a
neighbors for something. The next morn
ing | was up bright and early and was
shown around the place by Uncle John.
In the afternoon we took a ride over 20
the village. He gave me a whole dollar to
spend just as ] pleased and ! got some Of
the p~rettiest little things.
u was put to bed earlier Than the first
night. but hung my stocking over the
fire. ! never could get along without ii
mishap and when ! had it nicely hung up
what should happen, but the toe caught
fire and burned IL up. ] cried, but grandma
told me not to worry, just hang up the
other, and Il would be all right.
AND r. was all right. 800. FOR Xmas
morning the first thing 1 took out was a
nice pair Of stockings grandma had knit
for me. My stocking was Just damned
full Of precious things I had nuts and
candy tnl 4 was sick OF them Cfor one dsyl.
but Aunt Lucy made some taffy that 1
might pull IT,
