Johnnie's Lesson.

BY Emil Cejda, Aged 10 Years, West Point,
Neb. Blue Side.
One day as Johnny Brown was reading a
story in his room, his mother came into
the room and told him to get on his
clothes and go down town and get some
eggs. But Johnny said he was interested
in a story and was going to finish it. SO
his mother said no more, but went for the
eggs herself, because she needed them for
a cake that she was going to make later
in the afternoon, But Johnny was still
reading his story,
While she was buying her eggs in the
store she noticed about twelve boys outside
the store with fish poles
After she bought her eggs she went
home where she found Johnny still reading
She let him read, because she meant to
teach him lesson. When Johnny had fin
ished his story he came down stairs and
sat down. Soon they heard a rap at the
door. Johnny opened the door and there
were his playmates who were going fishing
and meant to take him with them.
But Johnny's mother only said: mo;
Johnny was a very disobedient boy and he
can't 60"
Johnny was crying, but you may be sure
this taught him lesson.

planned for the morrow with light hearts.
A maid would be there on time to attend
the door and 10 serve in the dining room.
Tom has given his word that such would
be the case.
The following day, at exactly 1880 o'clock,
the side door bell rang, and when Mrs
James responded she was greeted by a
young woman with, "Hoddy ma am. Are

When Vasco Went Exploring

Unlike Columbus, Cana did not origin
ate the scheme OF his voyage but was
selected by the king TO take command OF
the expedition which he proposed sending
out. He was already known as a man OF
energy and capacity and well-versed in
nautical matters.
THE fleet was made up OF three vessels
the flagship, the San Gabriel, the san
Raphael commanded by Paulo da Cana
and the Berrio, by Nicolan Coelho, with q
store ship.
From the Cape Vsrdes Cana took a
new departure. Instead Of creeping along
the coast as had been done by his prede-
cessors, he boldly shaped his course through
the mid-Atlantic for the Cape Of Good Hope.
Thus he did not sight land again for min
ty-three days, nearly three times as long
as Columbus was out Of sight OF land.
Then he made his landfall at 81. Helena
Bay. not far from the cape. # was bold
stroke, and as wise as It was novel. Sailing
vessels at the present day follow almost
precisely the route which this daring Por-
tuguese struck out II avoids battling cur
rents.
TT was November when he cast an
Choir in st. Helena Bay. There he re-
NAMED a week, cleaning tho ships and TAX

and it's inhabitants. oas az mn natives
was captured by surrounding HIN as ha
walked along intently soaEN'HR re ground
at the foot OF bushes for Wli2 honey. He
was taken on board and was at first
much frightened. But Cana handed him
over 10 two ships boys, with orders to
treat him kindly and soon he was AZ his
ease The next day he was sent ashore,
loaded with presents. As was expected,
troops OF natives now visited the strangers
Cana showed them a variety OF articles,
such as spices, gold and pearls, 70 see
whether they would recognize them, But
they evidently knew nothing OF them and
had nothing to barter"
And so the exploration OF da Cana proved
fruitful. for he found the passage TO India,
which Columbus had so desired 10 find
and after two long years Of hardships and
discoveries, thrilling 10 read about, he ar
rived again in the port Of Lisbon.
But OF the bad results OF his voyage
and discoveries, l shall again quote:
Somewhat more than two years had
been consumed in this voyage and II the
fortitude with which It's pnvatons were
endured had been cqualed by humanity in
dealing with inferior often inoffenslve
qualified admiration, But II was, alas,

handed and ruthless measures By which
Portugal established tie supremacy on the
coasts and waters Of east Africa and the
Indies.
'Retrlbuuou came in due time Little

possessions which II once held The wealth
which Il wrung from them served chiefly

The maid bowed and withdrew to the
kitchen. After she had gone Gertie stuck
her head in at the sitting room door,
crying out to her mother; Did l hear
Toms voice there. mammal"
NO dear, It was the new maid sent by
Tom" explained Mrs, James. by the
way, her voice did sound bit like Toms
-as much as a giri's could sound like q
boys That was the thing that struck
me as peculiar, though till this moment
] could not think whom the girl was like
--or whose voice hers sounded like. But,
dearie, hurry with your dressing. The
guests will arrive before you are ready
for them, l fear. Run along quickly, IN
come to hook you up in e minute. As
soon as / see that the new maid is sta
toned at the hall door 1 shall come right
up"
When the clock struck three the door
bell rang and the new maid admitted
several guests and directed them TO the
guests chamber on the second floor. where
they might lay aside hats and wraps And
before half-past three every guest had ar
rived and Hannah was hidden to the din
ing room 10 take charge OF things there
She saw that everything was in readiness
before the guests were led TO the table
As Mamie had as much as she could do
Ia her own domain, the dining room tell
into the hands OF the new maid, and Mrs
James overseeing things here and there,
declared 70 herself that Hannah was
treasurer She placed the chairs at table
turned on the electric lightE, drew down
the shades OF the windows, lighted the gas
los In the crate, filled the glasses with
sparkling ice water, and made herself
generally useful. And with every move Mrs.
James would scan her head and figure,
wondering all the time where she had seen
the maid before. And whenever the maid
spoke Mrs. James started. The voice was
so like Toms only Toms was a boys
voice and Hannahs was a girls Of
course.
During the tea the guests kept up such
chatter and laughter al table that Gertie
paid no attention 10 the new maid Cwho
was performing her services with the
greatest easej til something happened.
Kathleen Turner, a pretty, sweet girl and
one Of Girues very best chums, said 20
Gertle !n a low voice. and just as Hannah
was serving her with salad. Say, Ge-tie,
/ am awfully angry al yc-r cousin Tom.
Hes acted terrible mean towards me Of
late"
Now, when Kathleen said that. the maid
suddenly let fall some OF the salad on the
table, and became covered with confusion.
as "Oh Kath-" Then had turned her
attention 70 the accident she was respon-
sible for. Excuse me, Miss she said
half under her breath as she removed the
salad from the table cloth. And as she

hurried away tray on arm, toward the
kitchen, Kathleen glanced after her, then
said to her little hostess: what a strange
voice your maid has-for a girl! I've surely
heard II before. Have you had her longT
And so the tea passed and no one could
have found any fault with Hannahs work
save for the one little accident with the
salad. And that was 80 trfling that
Gertie had forgotten it almost as soon as it
happened. But when the party was over
and the flrls were assembled in the hall,
preparatory to bidding their hostess good
bye. the maid came walking down the
stairs and stepping right into thir midst,
Excuse me, young ladies'" said Hannah.
and then before their very eyes the new
maid removed from her head the lace
frilled cap and with It a blond wig
And then, lifting from her eyes a pair OF
spectacles, and rubbing some powder from
her face, stood before them-not a girl,
BUTTON.
After the excitement. the laughter and
the exclamatons OF surprise has subsidized,
Mrs James said: well, Tom, l had
strange feeling about your maid, Hannah,
all the time. She seemed to be masquer-
aiding somehow. But--why did you do it,
you darling boy?'
well. aunte, first / wanted to enjoy
the pleasure OF serving these charming

him, while the girls screamed with de-

Knowing you had 70 have a maid for this
evening, ! decided 10 play at being one

while all the girls echoed her. Then, Kath-

Guardian Fairies.

BY Mary X. Harrison, Aged IL. 1902 North
Twentieth street, Omaha, Neb
There was once a little girl who was the
daughter OF king. she had two guardian
fairies, one was 20 make her wicked and
the other 10 make her good. But she had
been led by the wicked one and was selfish
and mean TO all her playmates, yet she
was very beautiful
One day the good fairy met the wicked
fairy and took rer wicked wand. Then she
took It 20 the king and said she would
destroy it II he would grant her one wish.
The wish was that his daughter be put in
the tower for a while and gtven the basket
Of beautiful red apples which she held.
Every day the little girl selected one Of
the beautiful apples, and every time she
was disappointed, for she found that each
one was bitter and rotten inside.
The last day the fairy appeared as tho
little girl opened the last apple. She told
her she was like the beautiful apple. She
had bad and bitter heart though she was
beautiful 70 look at.
The little girl understood then that this
could be. and she grew up to be a beauu-
fl and good queen.

David b. Hill was tremendous worker.
He disiked to attend private and public
dinners. He neither smoked nor drank and
the combinations at private dinners were
especially annoying to him. When he was
a senator and living at the Hotel Norman
die in Washington, relates the New York
Sun, he felt called upon to attend now and
then private dinners. An old friend called
to see him one night. Hill was out to
dinner. The friend took a comfortable
armchair in the senator's room, read one
of his hosts valuable books, smoked a
cigar and waited. Hin came in at II o'clock
greatly annoyed.
"There!" he said, as he yanked the bou-
tonniere from the lapel Of his dress coat
and flung it on the floor and stamped on
1t, -four hours wasted Four hours OF
twaddle, think Of It.! -Four hours never TO
be recovered, and all spent in such silly
way"
Think of the clever men you have met
and the beautiful women" said the friend.
"Twaddle and hosh, / say" exclaimed
Hill. IAN frbble-frabble. What did L
learn tonight? Tell me, will you? Beauu-
full women? Bah!'
