Peaches Great Disappointment.

After staying in the woods about twenty days
he was missed, and great the disappointment
of Peachie, for had he not planned fine Thanks
giving dinner for Cousin jim? Something must
be done, for the great holiday would be there.
All work was stopped on the farm and the father
and his three sons started out to hunt the famous
turkey After hunting until they were very tired
their efforts were rewarded by finding their tur-
key away out in the woods, and although they did
not like to do it, they were obliged to shoot him,
for Mr.. Turkey had said he would not go back to
the farm aGcln. He big load for them all,
as each in turn carried him upon his shoulder and
by the time they reached home they we're weary
but very happy.
To make a long story short, Cousin Jim and
Aunt Jane were invited to come over and spend
Thanksgiving The most important part of the
dinner was the turkey and great were the stories
told of this bird. They all agreed it was the best
turkey they had ever eaten. Long years after
ward, when Peachie had family of his own, he
would tell them of this at Thanksgiving time and
the story never grew old
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-11-20

Peacnie was a BOY of eleven summers This
was the name given him by his mother who loved
him dearly One evening after dinner had been
eaten and the dishes were cleared away, Peaches
mother said to him:
Suppose we get up real early in the morning
and drive over to Aunt James house and stay
all day"
Peachie jumped up and gave yell of delight,
turned a somersault chased the cat around the
house and showed his willingness to go by being
very handy around the house.
At last Peachie was asleep and in dreamland.
The night soon passed away. Only once did
Peachie wake up, to find that the clock had
struck two. Very early the next morning his
mother was up and prepared breakfast and called
for Peachie to get up. Now Peachie used to
hearing his mother CALL and would often fall
asleep ere she had left the room, but when his
mother said: IF you don't get up / will go to
Aunt James without you" he was up and dressed
in minute.

Time to Go Home.

After they we're out or nearing of the big tur-
key which, by the way was the largest one they
had ever seen, they climbed upon a log to rest.
How long they stayed there we do not know, but
at last they to the conclusion it was time to
go home, and away they started. While climbing
over the fences they discovered nest of eggs,
and to get revenge on the big turkey they filled
their hats with the eggs which they took the
house.
Now it happened that among the eggs there
that much larger than the rest, and
so Cousin Jim told Peachie to take it home and
raise turkey and on the next Thanksgiving day
his mother and he would come over and help eat
him. Peachie followed the advice of his cousin
and upon reaching home placed his egg under
old hen, for the days of incubators we're then I'M
known. Peache then made frequent trips, and
like Jack and his bean stalk, at last found his
labor rewarded with a fine young turkey. He was
very happy and Of course told his mother all
about this wonderful bird

Soon On the Way.

He often wondered why he could not keep up
this record. Peachie ate small breakfast, such
was his haste to be on his way. At last his big
brother hitched old Bess to the family buggy, and
Peachie and his mother got in and were soon on
the way
The sun shone brightly that morning. The
birds of many kinds sang sweet songs. The dew
the grass was sparkling, the air fresh and
it was grand to be out away from the farm for
day. Near the roadside a squirrel looked down
from tree and seemed to inquire why his morn
ing play was disturbed. In the stream close by
ducks taking their morning swim, and all the
world seemed very happy. Peaches mother for
got she had family to for and that there
was thousand and one things to do at home but
for the present life was very sweet The trees
had put their spring suits of green, here and
there were seen flowers which were glad to be in
the sunshine after being shut up all winter in
their houses under the snow.

Children Should
Learn Literature
for It's Own Sake
Chicago Professor Advises Omaha
Teachers to Give Children In
Insight Into Beauty.

Unless the child feels the beauty of lit
erature and takes pleasure in IL, your
teaching has been failure" said DIR. S.
c. Clark Of the University of Chicago be-
fore Omaha school teachers Saturday DIR.
Clark, who is an instructor in public speak
ing, gave an address on the Elements Of
Beauty in Poetry before the Palmpsest
club.
Dr. Clark emphasized the need Of making
even the youngest children feel the beauty
OF literature for it's own sake and decried
the spirit that insists upon a moral or in
tellectual value in form that is worth
while for the mere sake OF spiritual i'm
port.
It's dreadfuly sentimental" said DR..
Clark, land useless, and you can't cash 1t
in for a cent, but it feeds the soul, and
It's what we need. Be sure, OF course, that
the children know what the meaning is,
but after they have learned it let them
forget it in the Joy OF the music of the
poetry. See the picture yourselves, then
you can make them see them. You cannot
teach nterature-it may be learned but not
taught. All you can do is to give them a
chance to learn II and keep them looking
at It until they get a pleasure in it that
will lead them to seek it for its own sake.
Before DR.. Clark's address, w. A. Camp
bell Of the Commercial club made a brief
talk to the teachers to get them interested
in having the state teachers convention
meet in Omaha in 1911 Mr.. Campbell said
that the Commercial club in extending ar
invitation to the teachers, wants the CO.
operation and help Of all the Omaha
pedagogues.
