little legend connected with the cherry
tree of that country, and If you should
care to hear l will tell 1T to YOU
The children all expressed their de-
light at the prospect, and the folloW-
ing story was then told to them;
once upon time on the seacoast of
Japan there dWelt fair little princess,
who was so beautiful that she was
given the name most dear to the
hearts of her people-Cherry Blossom
This we'll beloved princess had been
given as playfellow little handinaloen
Just her own age rms dark-eyeu
child of peasant folk became very dear
To the princess They slept together
ate. PLAYED. studied together and grew
SO attached to each other that they
could never bear to be separated for a
single hour This was all very well
while they remained children, but when
they grew to be young ladies 1t be-
came necessary for reasons OF state
that the princess should be married,
and the parents of the handmaiden
began to think of husband Tor her
as well.
When the princess realized that she
must go away to a foreign court with
a stranger and leave her dear COM
panion behind she sorroWed greatly
and became pale and sad.
One night when the moon silvered
all the land and sky and made the
blossoms of the cherry look like gleam-
ing snowflakes, the two sorrowtul
maidens went as usual to the temple.
They gazed lovingly at each other
upon their return through the trees
and the princess said sadly and sweet
ly: my dear, dear friend the com
panion' of my happy childhood, how L

HORSE WALKED INTO TENT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My grandma and grandpa owned
farm in the country. 1t was two weeks
before our vacation, and when vacation
came we were going to visit the farm.
On the last day of school we took our
books home in haste.
My friend Helen was going with me.
We waited and waited, and after awhile
grandpa drove up with a big wagon.
We took all of our dolls and car
riages. We even took Topsy, a colored
doll. We also took Jack, our dog.
We soon reached the old farmyard
and we took our baggage off the wagon
and into the house.
Grandpa had lots of pigs. My friend
Helen asked me If I was afraid to ride

During the hot days of the summer

I heard the noise and there saw my
little cousin lying on the ground with
broken leg. A buggy had run over her.

home. She was very badly hurt and

after. She could never again walk

Even as she spoke her wish was an

little trees. laden with blossoms which
blushed pink with surprise and joy.
Ever since then the cherry blossoms
of Japan, so the legend runs, have been
pink, and the island is known as the

PERSONAL CHATS WITH
THE HERALD JUNIORS

Dear Aunt Laurie
I would like to become one of your
nices and write stories for The Herald
Junior. Mamma has promised to get
The Herald for me so 1 can now write
often. Hoping you will receive me as
a niece, L remain.
NARCISSA SHEETS.
I am glad to have you for one of my
nieces, Narcissa.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
I do hope that the current topics
contest will not be discontinued, be-
cause I think it is very interesting
and helpful. We all like to discuss
things that we actually know about at
the present time L will try to write
on every topic that I can. For topic
1 would suggest "The Best Way to
Celebrate the Fourth" While not
really a political topic, it is question
that is much talked about at the pres
ent time.

II you know that today is Mothers
day? In number of states May
~ s has been set apart by executive
proclamation as Mothers day. The aim
is to arouse individual recognition of
the debt of gratitude we as children, of
whatever age or station, owe to the in
fluence of the mother and the home.
Set up a little shrine to your mother
today in your own heart, and keep
there fresh and strong the memory of
her face and love.
Have any of you any definite ambi-
tion for this coming month? Do you
know what one particular thing you
hope to attain before the hot July days
are upon US, and the vacation relaxa-
ton takes away our ambition? I hope
that you all have some object and that
you will write about it for the informa-
tion of all your Herald Junior cousins.
I am sure that while some of you may
hardly realize it, yet you are making a
definite effort to pass with honors your
June examinations in school, and be-
sides that many of you are trying as
we'll as you can to be helpful about the
house, or to help your teacher over
these last few trying weeks of school.
The last month is the time when both
pupils and teachers are tired with the
long season of sustained effort. 1t is
then that tired nerves and weakened
physical condition cause every little in
cident to become of distorted impor-
tance, and laughter or tears frequently
follow, although there is really little
cause for either.
1t is not too soon for the boys and
girls of the current topics contest to
discuss the matter of a sane Fourth of
July celebration. I know quite we'll
that many boys think that word sane
means an absolute prohibition of all
their fun. This is not the case at all.
There are many toys made for use in
celebrating Independence day which
make plenty of noise, and yet offer no
chance of the damage which follows
ffrecrackers and other gunpowder in
ventions. Last year there were so many
terrible accidents that I decided then
that I should begin early this year to
warn and entreat all my nieces and
nephews to do their best to discourage
those forms of amusement which may
result in some terrible accident. Last
year one little boy of s or years put
out his baby sisters eyes by careless
ness in his play with fireworks. Think
of the agony of remorse he must eX-
perience every day of his life when he
thinks of the loss she must suffer as
long as she lives. Just think how it
would seem to you if it were your
lovely little blue-eyed baby sister
doomed never to see the sunshine again
nor to see the colors of the flowers
blooming along her way When you all
realize that these things do not happen
because one intends or expects them to-,
but are always entirely unlocked for,
and oftentimes come where apparently
all ordinary precaution has been taken,
then you will commence to think with
me that there are not eyes, nor fingers
or legs nor arms enough in the world to
take chance of losing or injurng any
of them simply because of some fun

The fire department enjoyed a
couple of midnight runs on Tues
day and Thursday nights, the first
being from the burning OF a place
on the Oliver location near the Nor
man ore dump, and the one last
evening being from the discovery
of blaze in the Macbeth & Gardner
sausage room in the rear of the
Coffey building. In the first instance
the building was destroyed, it being
an unoccupied shed, while the fire
last evening was placed under con.
