Esther's Dream

BY Helen F. Douglass Aged IL Years, 1893

One day Esther sat on the veranda read

She dreamed a dream worth hearing, SO

fairy came to her and said; II have
heard you are a good little girl and you
want to see Fairyland?'
Yes l do; but can't" she said,
Il will take you today" said the fairy.
"Oh, goody," said Ether. Can Viola go,
tooP"
mo, she can't go, for she is a bad girl"
''But how can l get there2'
II will take you.''
The fairy touched Esther with her wand
and she grew very small. Then they went
out and got In a fleecy cloud chariot and
rode off.
The first thing she saw when she got to
Fairyland was gate, and over 1t, it said,
''Fairyland." On a notice at the side 1t
said, only good children can come here"
They went in and saw the queens beau

were there.

The fairy touched her with his wand and
she found herself at home on the verandat
with her book In her lap.

So she ran over to Viola's and told her

spring. TITS an elephant in size" declared
Paul to himself. "But it's a beaut, sure. I
never heard of so large a lion! 1t will be
a feather in our caps IL we get that great
beast" The truth is Paul was geeting
rather frightened, for the lion was growing
so in comparison to the ordinary lion. that
he felt afraid of it. Suppose his gun
should fail to go off when he expected 1t
tor Suppose it should not hit the beast al
all?
II say, kids, 1t is the biggest beast
ever beheld came from Fred, whose knees
were trembling. Butt really don't be-
lieve it's a-a-lien. Look at it's head"
The animal had now approached to a
spot within 100 feet of the boys hiding
place, and as the moon shone fully on the
path where he stood the hunters could
get a pretty good view of him, although
the lower part Of the beasts body was hid
den by a pile of rocks and fallen tree
trunks which had been piled to one side
OF the path,
Then Paul made a discovery and it
caused the red blood to rush to his face
and feeling Of shame to take possession
of him. Half rising to his feet he said in
a loud, careless voice: "Ah, come on. kids.
It's our pack burro. He's got loose from

his rope somehow and is taking a ramble
on the mountain side. ] reckon there's no
lion for us tonight"
1t was useless for any of the boys to
deny the truth Of Paul's statement, for the
burro had lifted up his head and was max
ing his loud he-haw resound throughout
the mountain. Evidently he had caught a
glimpse of his young masters and was
saluting them. The four hunters slowly
arose, singing their guns over their shout
ders, preparatory to starting for camp.
Fred went to the burro and took him by
the name. saying: Come along, old fell
low. You have done enough mischief to-
night Disgusting as a lion so as to excite
your masters. You Ought to be ashamed,
you fool"
"He-haw! He-haW-aw-aw!" brayed the
burro, as If saying:
"You are the fools, not l."
And then the boys hurried to their camp
and just as the dawn was creeping over the
mountain they got between their blankets
and fell asleep, dreaming, no doubt, Of
killing the greatest lion in the Rockies
And the little burro, fully awake and
happy, serenaded them every few minutes
by singing in lusty voice: "He-haw-aw-
aw-aw"

Dear mel' said Teddy's mother as she
was dressing the baby one morning, Il
can't find pin anywhere and never can
remember to buy any when I'm down
town"
IF you'll make me a big pitcher of
lemonade with ice in it, said Teddy, IN

next month"
"HowR" asked his mother.
."By keeping store" answered Teddy. His
mother laughed, but made the lemonade.
Teddy carried it out to tent in the grove
back Of his fathers house. Then he asked
Len Dale, big fellow, who knew how to
write, to put on a sheet of paper: Lemon
ade, Ten Pins Glass" This was fasten-
ened on the tent and in lass than ten min
uteg all the children in the peighborhood
were around the little store with pins In
their hands.
The day was very warm and the lemon
ade was SO good that Teddy was kept
busy waiting on his customers, and the
pitcher was soon empty. Teddy had It
filled again and when It was empty the
second time he took down the sign and
closed his store.
He carried to his mother all the pins
he had earned, and sure enough, there were
SO many that they lasted q whole month.

Tige, the Faithful; A True Story

BY Mildred r. Voigt, Aged 10 years,
Davenport, Neb
Tige was a large Newfoundland dog with
large, kind eyes and long bushy tail. I
will tell you few of his traits.
When there was churnipg to be done
he was always ready and when the butter
came he would jump off Of the dog power.
When the butter was sailed it was turned
twenty five strokes, and Tige always knew
when he had turned it twenty-five times
and would jump off of the power without
his mistress telling him. Also when chore
time came he was ready. The cattle were
In the meadow, some distance from the
barn, and when his mistress went to skim
the milk he went with her and would
look up into her face and then to the
meadow, which meant, els 1t time to get
the cattle?" If it was too early his mis-
tress would say, mot time yet, Tige," and
when 1t was time his mistress would say,
Time to get the cows, Tige," and he would
jump up from where he was lying and nod
his head and wag his tail and start for
the meadow
1t was but a short time before he had
the cattle at the gate. He would then
lie down and watch them until somebody
came to open the gate. When mistress and
master were both away for a day, upon
returning the always found the cattle at
the gate, with the faithful Tige behind.

over and looking round the boulder into

But he hushed, for just at the moment
he was speaking he saw a dark object
moving along the path, far down the noun

first, If he failed to bring the lion to earth

aim, Fred being the second to fire. Should
Fred fail to get the lion, the remaining

once up on time there were two robins
that came north to go to housekeeping.
They Travelled for miles until they came
to a beautiful cottonwood tree. They went
to work and made straw nest lined with
horse hair and bits of thread.
Then there were four blue eggs.
The mother set for two long weeks and
the father sang a merry song. At the
end Of the two long weeks, there were
four hungry baby robins Then the
mother and father bird were busy getting
food. Then after awhile the brides were
big enough to get out of the nest and
the old birds taught them to fly. In the
fall Of the year the father and mother
and babies went to the sunny south to
spend the winter.

HERO DID YOU EVER CATCH A.
VERY WICKED TRAMP9"

But at this minute Hero got off his chair
most deliberately and went to the door
leading into the hall. Before the little
teacher could get him back again he had
gone leaplng down the tairs and an instant
later Minnie heard him barking at some
passerhy out Of doors.
Then Minnie turned her attention to the
others of the class and 10! Puggins had
awakened and was chasing Tabby round
the ROOM and Tabby was enjoying the
frolio as much as Puggins. They were
always such good friends Only Georgia
May Florence and links sat in their places.
So Minnie took her place before them, say
ing: LAS you children are the best in the
class, ! will give you each a holiday. You
may go to the park an swing and ride on
the merry-go-roun. An maybe mamma
will let me go with you. III run an ask
her"
Then, while Hero barked in the yard and
Puggins and Tabby romped in the sewing
room, and Georgia May, Florence and links
sat very quietly in their chairs, Minnie
ran downstairs to ask her mamma's per-
mission to go to the park.
"Oh, Is school out?' asked mamma, In
terestedly.
Well it's this way, Mamma" explained
Minnie. Hero ran off TO play hockey and
Puggins and Tabby are making such u
fuss in the room that the other pupils
can't study. SO I'm giyin the good PUPILS
a half holiday and want to SO TO the park
with them. May II"
Certainly little teacher" laughed
mamma "And there is grandpapa on ths
porch just getting ready to take u walk,
Run and ask him to go with YOU, dearie."
When Minnie asked grandpapa to take a
walk with her and the three well-behaved
pupils he consented very readily. "Of
course" he said. II shall feel much honored
to be an escort to the new kindergaI ,en
teacher. COME right along. And-what do
you think of that?" And grandpaps
pointed at old Hero. who was coming al

his habit, he wanted to go along.

Minnie. Hell guard US from harm"

ruly manner,

S all lived In Colorado town,
right in the heart Vt the Rocky Mountains,
and every little while news reached the viii
layers of hunters seeing, sometimes shoot
ing, lion up on the mountain side, So the
boys had arranged to go hunting lion.
The weather was ideal, and during the
first day out the boys declared that the only
place to live was in the open, on the side of
the gil rious Rockies. They had with them
one pack burro, and he was able to carry a
small tent, bedding, provisions and other
camp accessories. The boys carried their
guns and ammunition, also big canteens of
pure water. They knew that plenty of the
latter was to be found In springs and
brooks, but they though II more in keep
ing with hunters TO carry their water can
teens
When they struck camp the first night,
they all confessed to a keen appetite, and
1t would have done anyone good to see
them cook wholesome camp supper and
TO devour 1t. Yes, devour is tho only word
which can express the manner in which
those four boys got away with that meal
OF fried bacon and eggs, boiled coffee,
homemade cheese, crackers and plum pre-
serves 1t was Pauls mother who had
insisted on her sons taking along several
glasses OF jelly and preserves. You'll all
have a sweet TOOTH" she declared, "and
youth be very glad to have jelly and pre-
serves when it comes TO eating time"
Well, could the good Mrs Grey have
seen the way those preserves disappeared,
spread thickly on great slices of bread
which answered for desert-she would have
said; Il told you So"
Then, as evening was the best time to
lay in wait for a lion, the hunters de-
cided to go to a fine spring near by the
camping spot, and there lie hidden behind
some boulders awaiting their prey. They
knew that lions, like all wild beasts. 20

erouched behind other boulders which were
no situated that they had a fine view of the
path leading up the mountain side. In
such positions the boys could see any
creature advancing toward the spring. and
as the moon was good, they could easily
discern TO what species the creature be-
longed.
