uiet word into this turmoil

quiet word into this turmoil Of
opinions.
Look Within,'' it says. "Look
into the hearts and souls OF our men
and women today. See if there be
within the same rugged faith that
carried a republic from the wilderness
and raised above it our Stars and
search for the abiding reliance on
things unseen, which forever held up
our pioneers when they faltered under
=privation, dangers and hardships.''
For an illustration The Rosary"
takes the spectator into the heart OF
typical American family. It shows
the peace and happiness there,
then suddenly unmasks the canker
spot-lack of faith in the husband.
Slowly, little, by little is seen this de-
vastating power of atheism; how it saps
the strength and melts the will, so that
when doubt and supicion creep in they
find the soil fertile for their direct de-

the home goes down to ruin with a
crash. Then comes the spiritual
power of a great man, priest, whose
life is given to mankind. Slowly, by
sheer faith he analyses the situation
and leads the two forth, the husband
and wife whom he loves, out of the
darkness Of their despair to happiness
and peace.
That is 1.-THE Rosary" and the dis
cussions that will follow its produce
ton will do much to clear the smoke
of idle theories from this tremendous
question which undermines the happi-
ness and we'll being of every Ameri-

What is the cause of marital unrest?
Why is it that the percentage of
divorce cases rises steadily every day
in the United States? Why should it
oe that today, tomorrow you may
meet your happily married friend, and
in response to your question regard

Why should all this be?
These are questions that the ablest
minds have wrestled with for the past
decade without even mediocre ans
wer. But the question will not down;
it confronts every thinking man and
woman over and over again. Legal
brains have tried to reply; orators
have used their eloquence; the papers
have printed reams of matter and the
pulpit has Numbered it's Nominations.
Still the question remains unanswered,

which all authorities agree can not be
lowered, the production of fat cattle
on farms where the work has long
been forgotten will be found profitable.

Marv's Little Lamb

BY Mabel M. Etchison, Aged 8 Years 2Sl1
South Thirty-third Street, Omaha,
Neb. Blue Side.
One hot day in July, a shepard and his
Collie dog were driving a flock Of sheep
through the streets of our city. They could
scarcely keep them from lying down upon
the dirty streets, for they had Travelled so
far without food or rest At last one little
lamb laid down., for it was completely
worn out. The shepard picked 1t up and
thought II he could get anyone to buy 1t
he would sell it. Little May had been
watching them as they were passing by
and she had asked her mother to buy one
of them for her brother, Jack, who was
lame and often sick. So they bought the
little lamb and Mary carried 1t home and
told Jack 1t was to be his very own. Jack
was very happy to think that his dear lit
tie sister would give II to him.. SO the
little lamb was fed each day with warm,
fresh milk and had a soft, warm bed TO
sleep in, and after many days it was able

was a door. She opened It, and there stood
a sea-fairy dressed in a gown Of delicate
green seaweed, hung with pearls and
brightly colored shells. Around her neck
she had a coral necklace. Her head was
crowned with pink, green and yellow sea
anemanes. The fairy took Ellen's hand
and led her to the door and said:
You shall see my palace under the sea
and all the wonderful things"
Then they walked through a beautiful
park, There were sea horses and sea lions,
mermaids, sharks, whales and many kinds
of beautiful fish. They walke on and
finally came to+he palace, which was made
of white marble, with diamonds and other
stones set in the marble. There were sum
mer houses and sea flowers and fountains,
and the water went twenty feet in the air.
1t was colored just like the rainbow by
some magic art. There were ponds where
mermaid children sat feeding fish.
Thu fairy then took Ellen by the hand
and led her to a large room. She took a
small box from the shelf and took a ring
with a diamond, ruby and sapphire in it
and placed 1t on her finger.
She next led her through a long passage,
waved her wand and Ellen found herself
sitting by the big rock. She would have
thought it a dream but for the ring on her
finger.

Then February called attention with his
gold wand, for he was king. Nov, just

and with as much grace as their table
accessories would permit Of. In fact,
camping and trapping in the wilds had
not made r%uffians of these three we'll
reared, naturally refined boys. 1t merely
made them resourceful and Independent,
After supper they washed the dishes,
put them away in a wooden box which
served for a cupboard and replenished the
fire, around which they sat talking over
the days experiences. Then, before turn
ing into their hunks for the night, john
the eldest Of the trio-read a few chapters
from a well-worn book, a thrilling tale of
the frontiersmen Of a century ago. The
boys had read and reread the book many
times, but there were favorite chapters,
dealing with Indian fights and privation,
that thly found ever new and interesting.
Also, their camp library contained a Bible,
a book on the care Of pelts and a book Of
jokes and conundrums. Each of these had
their special reading. The Bible was al
ways read before breakfast on Sunday,
then put carefully away till the next holy
day should come around. The Joke and
oonundrum book was referred to whenever
the boys founa it necessary to borrow
laughter" as they put It, Usually, they
found enough to keep them merry and
happy-hearted while about their camp
work, but on occasions when their spirits
seemed a bit low the joke and %conundrum
book acted as a laugh tonic.
After the reading had been completed for
the evening the boys tumbled into their
hunks to sleep sweetly and deeply. When
they awoks the next morning their view Of
the outside world, which was to be got
through two little windows was curtained,
The glass panes Of the windows were white
and Opaque, John was the first to leap out
Of bed, He ran to the window, saying 10

North Fortieth St, Omaha. Red Side.
Bessie woke up early the morning OF
her twelfth birthday and came down to
breakfast. After breakfast her mother
made a cake and Bessie asked her why
she was making the cake and her mother
answered, To-day is your birthday and
il any OF your little girl friends should
come we, want something to treat them"
Soon one OF her mothers friends called
up over the telephone, wanting her 10
come and TAX care of her little girl while
she went to the store. Bessie went at half
past 2 and remained until 4 o'clock. When
she returned home she found the house
fun of little girl friends and the center
table loaded with beautiful presents
brought for her and the dining room table
loaded Town with goodies. Bessie knew
what this meant-this was her birthday
and her mother had planned this surprise.
Her little friends stayed until 8 p. m. and
Bessie had a most happy birthday.

tunnelling through the snow at the door.
It's better to 80 out through a tunnel than
to climb up the chimney"
But the tunnel will ave to be made
from the outside, - explained John. Other
wise we'd fill the cabin up with the snow
dug from the tunnel. Seer
"Ah, you're right" Martin said. "Well,
we can get enough fresh air from that
crack in the back of the cabin to keep US
going for awhile. So l move that we nave
breakfast before letting the fire go out.
I'm all-fired hungry, and the thought OF
cutting through a thirty or forty-foot snow
drift has encouraged a good appetite"
Second the notion said Fred. Then
the three boys hurried with the breakfast,
after which they put out the fire by
throwing snow, taken from the open door,
upon it. When the chimney had cooled
they climbed through it to the roof.
From there they looked upon a new world
white, white snow many feet deep over
the level, while here and there on the
southern side of rocks or clumps Of trees
drifts twenty to fifty feet in depth lay.
And. from the roof of their own cabin, lead

the three boys nearly all the forenoon to
dig a tunnel from the outside into the
house. and when the sun marked the hour
Of noon they entered their doorway, a
hungry and a happy trio.
"well. boys, 1 say it's a jolly expert
ence," laughed John, pilling some wood
in the fireplace and starting a fine blaze.
And now one of us must write an ac-
count of our being showed under and send
1t to the old folks at home"
Yes, but first let's have dinner said
Martin. Being showed under may have
its exciting points, but it doesn't rob a
chap of his liking for ~grub-when the
grub time comes round"
And John and Fred agreed that Martin
was right and the three set about to get
the best dinner they had eaten since Christ

believe it showed heavily last night. Just
look at the windows!"
Fred and Martin were out Of bed in
stantly, trying to clean spots on the win
dow by blowing their warm breath against
the glass, But to obtain a clear place
through which they could look out was inn
possible, Yep, it's snow, piled up against
The windows. Gee! it must have come down
by the ton last night while we slept" So
said Fred. Lets get into our buds and
go out and see what we have to wade
through" said Martin, drawing on his
clothes as fast as he could, Fred and John
followed his example and as soon as John
was dressed he opened the cabin door. The
sight which met his eyes made him ejacu-
late: "Holy-gee! Look at that, boysl We're
showed under, as sure as we're alivel"
Fred and Martin stood open-eyed n
open-mouthed. In front Of them, pressed
hard in the shape of the door, was a white
wall of snow. A snowstorm had ragged
during the night and the wine had carried
the snow round the cabin, piling it against
the door and two windows till all were
buried. How much of the back and sides
Of the cabin was covered by the snow the
boys did not know, but Fred wisely struck

he suggested. SO, with sharp sticks. they
worked away at the thinking between two
logs and after a few minutes had opened
a crack several inches long and about two
inches wide through which the sunlight
poured.
"Ah, ha!' said Fred. IT'S only a big
drift around the front Of the cabin. l had
feared It might be w~orse-maybe a gentle
avalanche which had buried us fifty feet
deep. But it's nothing serious. We can
let the fire burn down and then Wen go
out through the chimney"
I'm mighty glad it's only a drift" said
John. a smile Of thankfulness on his face.

Island, Neb. Red Side.
Far in the depth OF the forest lived
father and mother monkey with their two
children, Jocko and Carlo. Jocko was the
Oldest and was always up to some mis-
chief. Carlo was nearly always with him,
but one day Jocko went out by himself to
see what he could find.
Not far from the place were the monkey
family lived, Jocko skipping along from
branch to branch, saw something white
on the ground. or course he had to find
out what it was so climbing down out of
the tree Jocko went over to it and found
out 1t was q sack full of sweets.
This place was one where some hunters
had been and when they had gone away
had left this sack on the ground. Jocko
had never tasted anything as good as the
contents Of that sack. He soon finished
the candy and after a time went home.
He did not tell father and mother monkey
anything about it and the next morning
he was so sick he didn't know what was
going to happen to him. He resolved If
he ever got we'll again to bring some OF the
next sweets he found home and share 1t
with the rest of the monkeys.

FARMLAND Justice

BY Alta KILLER, Aged II Years, III West
TWenty-first Street, Kearney, Neb.
Blue Side.
1t was a moon light night in October
when the fairies came together to choose
a new queen, for every year the fairies
had one meeting, and II any Of their
number was late they had made a rule
that they should be changed to a mortal,
which is the greatest punishment that can
be inflicted upon a member Of their band.
At IL o'clock all the fairies had arrived
but one, whose name was Dewdrop. All
the fairies were sorry, because she was a
great favorite with them all, with the ex-
ception of Fairy Mud, who was jealous Of
Dewdrop.
At l o'clock Dewdrop came in.
Il am very sorry, Dewdrop,' said Judge
Gauzy Wings, but since you have dis
obeyed our laws we must change you to Il
mortal"
, Let me explain why 1 am late" said
Dewdrop,
mo, l have never let any other do so,
and so l cannot let you, Dewdrop," said
Gauzy Wings, You could not give a good
reason, l know"
"oh, Judge Gauzy Wings!" said Snow
drop, II know Dewdrop has a good rea-
son; do let her tell"
"Well,' said Gauzy Wings, Il will put 1t
to a vote. Those who want Dewdrop to
tell us her reason for being late say aye"
Aye" said all the fairies. The only
one on the negative was Fairy Mud. y
Explain" said Gauzy Wings.
LAS 1 was coming l saw a child lying
on her death bed" said Dewdrop; beside
her sat her mother, who was nearly heart
broken. so l stopped and made her well
again"
How do 1 know your story is true?'
said Gaugy Wing.
II think it is not true" said Fairy Mud.
II know it is true" said a voice; Il have
been watching her"
who speaks?" said Gauzy Wings.
'I Star of Beauty" said the voice.
So Dewdrop's innocence was proved. and
justice given by electing her queen Of the
