A certain king needed a servant; he hired
two men. He bade them to fill the basket
with water. TIL king told them that he
would be back at sunset. The two men
then set to work after drawing up six
buckets of water. One of the men said:
A fast as we pour the water into the
basket 1t runs out" But the other man
said he could do as he pleased. And the
other man walked off. About sunset the
we'll was empty. The man looked into the
basket and saw a ring OF great value. He
took 1t out and said, Nov 1 know why
the king wanted the water poured into the
basket. Because IL he let the water run
into the street the ring would be tramped
into the mud. Just then the king arrived
and saw the ring which the man had in his
hand and he gave the ring to the king n
the king saw that the man could be trusted
and he made him mead of all the servants

A little girl who was 5 years cd was
walking along the streets OF Chicago, Ill.
She walked past a millinery shop and
saw some pretty hat pins lying in the
window. She thought how nice 1t would be
20 get one of them for her mothers birth
day. 30 she went in to price them The
lady clerk said nothing. We give them
away. So the little girl said, II will a
two, please.
Her mother was SO surprised when the
little girl gave her the two hat pins.
The mother was so pleased that she asked
the little girl where she got them. The
little girl replied. II got them at a millinery
shop, and l priced them and they said,
Nothing n so I said I would take two.
The mother said that that wasn't the way
to do. She said. Just because they didn't
cost anything, 1t wasn't the reason that
you should take two. II isn't nice to be so
greedy and told her not to do such a
thing again.
The little girls conscience hurt her so
badly hat she took them back and she
told the milliner that her mamma said that
wasn't the way to do business, 80 she laid
them on the counter and went home. She
told her what she had done.

Honorable Mention,
How the snowflakes Helped

By Helen Cross, Aged u Years, 212 Front
Street, North Platte Neb. Blue Side
There wasn't any snow on the ground
and there hadn't been any for five days.
1t was during Xmas vacation, too, Just
when all the girls and boys wanted TO go
skating and the water wasn't frozen at
all. Willie Jones, especially, wanted II to
snow, because he had just got a new pair
Of skates and he wanted to learn how to
skate before school began again. If any
one had happened to look up at the sky
on one particular afternoon they might
have seen a snowflake sailing rapidly
through the air. The queen Of the snow
flake had sent this snowflake down to
earth to see who needed the snowflakes.
This snowflake, whose name was Hurry,
stopped at the first house he came to, which
happened to be where Willie Jones lived.
Hurry lit on the window pane and looked
in and saw Willie crying while his mother
was standing by him trying to comfort
him. "Itll snow pretty soon, dear"
Hurry heard Willie's mother saying, And
then you can have lots OF fun" Hurry
didn't wait to hear any more, but left the
window pane and went sailing UP, up,
until he reached a cloud where the queen
was waiting for him. He told her what
he had seen and heard and the queen
called all the snowflakes together and told
them to go down to earth and freeze
every body of water, which they did, and
the next day Willie learned to skate and
had lots of fun.

To Be Great

BY Jeanette Miller, Aged II Years, Fair
mont, Neb. Blu Side.
Up In the mountains, bordered by beauti-
full flowers, slept a river in its cradle Of
messy rocks. The wind, signing through
the fir trees, lulled a beautiful song to 1t
and the breezes from the valley waited
sweet perfume from the flowers
But the river could not always stay there
in the beautiful mountains, It was to go
forward and learn It's lessons in the world
beyond the mountains. the pastures and
the farms OF golden grain
From the world came a spirit who was
to live with the little river. 1t told the
river of the wonderful world beyond.
where, II 1t would go. 1t would be wor-
SHIPPED for its great strength and power
and all the world would wonder. But I
cannot go" cried the river, for I am so
weak. / can't be great"
That night q mighty tempest broke and
the river rose and roared and boiled,
breaking over its banks. Peals Of thunder
echoed through the mountains and down
the valleys. Streaks of lightning pierced
the black clouds and came to earth to fell
some giant fir tree which had stood mon
arch Of its realm for years.
And the river, with a mighty roar. carry
ing everything with 1t, went down, down
to the great world beyond The sun rose,
the storm had ceased, but on it rushed
through the meadows, not waiting to greet
the flowers on its banks or to reply to the
meadow lark's melodious song.
Winter came and the river was crusted
over with sparkling ice. Children came
to skate on its CLASSY surface but it did
not hear their Joyous laughter. 1t went
rushing on to heed the call Of the spirit
to come and be great"
By and by it came to a lam Its waters
rose, breaking its crystal bosom and on
it rushed toward the world Of cities with
its millions Of people. each striving to be
great
Then the spirit left it and the river be-
came more unhappy In the great noisy
world. 1t wished for more to conquer and
there was nothing except its own discon-
tent
One beautiful moonlit night It's waters
rested in a bay and the river had found
peace and contentment Another spirit
came to the river and whispered, Nov
you are great for you are content, and
contentnent is the greatest thing in the
world"
The moon beams danced on its surface
and the stars twinkle in the heavens, and
to the stars as they sank In the west ii
whispered. Good night, good night"
