Helping Hands.

BY Clarence Siekkot, Aged IS Years,
Gretna, Neb. Red Side.
One day as the children were going home
from school they made up their minds to
go coasting on Pine hill. As Harold was
coming to coast he met an old woman
carrying basket OF clothes,
Good day" said Harold.
Maybe II is a good day for boys who
can 80 and coast but 1 know l shall slip
and fall on the Ice" said she.
Harold ran past for little way then he
thought he ought TO go back and help
the old woman, 30 he ran back.
When he came to her he said, Il Will
carry your basket on my sled"
What" said the old woman; ARE you
foollng?"
oh no." said Harold. Il never fool old
people"
SO she set her basket on Harold's sled
and they went on AS they were going
they met boy on his way to the hill.
Hello" said he, Il thought you were
going to the hill to coast"
Il am" said Harold, but I am running
dray Just now and 1, Will be there in
little while"
Harold took the clothes to the old wo-
mans house and carried them In for her,
then he ran out and said, goodbye" and
ran off to the hill TO coast.

Johnny and the Soldier

piece Of pie for his Spanish prisoner and
himself
After the mess" was over Fred went
home and Johnny returned to the library
to read from a book entitled american
Heroes He was on the point OF falling
asleep IN his chair when a ring was
heard at the door. Johnny's mother had
some out to call on some friends and the
servant was busy in the laundry in the
basement So Johnny ran 10 open the
front hall door in response to the bell
There on the doorstep stood an old man
with struggling white beard and wan
wrinkled face, His clothing was old and
rusty, being Of the cheapest quality As
5ohnny's eyes took in the bent, aged fig
ure he was shocked to see that the
stranger had but one leg a wooden lpeg
doing service for the missing limb
'Ah. good morning, little man." said the
old man. May / ask for a bit Of Informal
uon-and a drink OF water?'
Certainly, sir" replied Johnny. always
polite to his elders, no matter what their
appearance might indicate. And johnny
was too fine lad TO let poverty lessen his
regard for the person. He saw at a glance
that the man was very, very poor and also
that he was a cripple and very old.
That was quite enough to win Johnny's
sympathy
yes, sir, III fetch you a drink" he
went on. Wont you come in and wait
in the hall while / get IT,"
The aged man smiled his gratitude, but
faltered. I'm not quite sure. little man,
that one so dusty and-and-wen, one Of
such an ungainly appearance as myself
would be az place in your nice hall. Besides
I am stranger and do not take Il amiss
II you close the door on me while YOU
fetch the water / am used 10 that sort
OF thing. The world Is 20 fun OF wicked
persons that people have 10 guard their
homes against them. And an strangers are
under certain suspicion ull they have be-
come known. No, no, J. thank YOU for your
Omaha daily bee., 1910-12-04

offer Of hospitality, but shall remain here
on the steps tn you have kindly handed
me the refreshing dring."
But Johnny's sympathy had grown for
the old man while he had been speaking
and he knew that few minutes rest in a
comfortable room would do him a world Of
good. SO he said inslstingly: But you are
tired and cold. The wind Is sharp. Ny
chum and I were playing war in the yard
while ago and we got quite cold, Why,
there's snow sitting in the air now Please
come in and sit down while fetch the
water"
Bless you, little chap" said the old
man, his eye dimming a bit This tender
consideration from stranger and so young
a stranger. had touched his heart. Thank
you will just step inside"
Johnny placed a chair for him in the hall
and ran off to the kitchen to bring glass
Of water. When he got the drink, however,
a new idea came. Why not take the weary
old man glass Of fresh milk and a piece
Of that fine mince pie he and Fred had par
taken Of for their luncheon a while ago2
Yes, that would be the proper thing TO do.
So Johnny got the little silver tea tray and
spread a napkin over It, Then on the tray
he placed glass OF water, another OF fresh
sweet milk and a plate of mince pie. "Now
it wants a bit Of cheese" said Johnny,
looking over the tray. And he added the
wanted bit Of cheese. Then he proudly
carried the tray to the visitor in the hall
The aged man could hardly speak for his
emotion when Johnny placed the tray on a
little table beside him. "Oh, how can I
thank you, lad9" he murmured. wiping his
eyes. Then he drank and ate with relish,
Johnny sitting near by to chat with him.
"You say you and your young friend have
been playing at ware" the old man asked.
"Ah, sonny, you little dream what war
might mean to you I'm reality. Here
and he pointed towards the wooden peg
which served him as a leg, THAT came
from war, my child"
Johnny was all interest in a moment.
Here was a veteran Of war, one who had
suffered the real thing. All, how he would

gasped out. Tell me of the war-of the
battle -you-lost-youT-poor Leg
The old mans face became paler, but he
spoke Of the past, of the great rebellion
when he had fought to save his country.
He told in horrfying detail Of fierce con-
nict where men-and mere boys, today
mangled and torn on the field Of slaughter;
and then, at the very last he pointed to-
ward his MANNED side and said: "At the

sary, / would have gladly lost my life 1t

AS the aged voice ceased speaking there
were tears rolling down Johnnys cheeks
He felt ashamed Of this show Of emotion,
but could not help it. But the aged man
put him at ease in a moment by saying;
All my dear son, l hope warfare viii al

Her First Thanksgiving Candy.

BY Helen haggert Aged IL Years, st.
Paul, Neb. Blue Side,
Mary Elizabeth was years old. It was
the day before Thanksgiving and she
thought this would be a good time to make
candy for the first time
There was a fire in the kitchen stove and
every one was gone but herself and
Bridget, who was asleep upstairs.
So Mary Elizabeth went to work First,
she scratched her curly head very gravely.
Then she said, Il guess 1 will make fudge.
1t is the best"
She found one Of Bridgets aprons and
tied it around her neck, for mama and
Bridget never worked without an apron.
Then she rummaged in the pantry until
she found a stew-pan. The next thing was
to find out what TO put in It. First she
thought she would waken Bridget and ask
her. Then she said, mo, l will make II
all myself and nobody will know I'm sure
! can make Il taste good anyhow"
She got the sugar (she knew where It
was because she often put It on her
bread, and filled her pan about one-third
full. She knew she must have chocolate
because fudge tasted like the chocolate
that mama made for her tea parties.
What should she put in to make II wet?
and It was always wet after II was cooked
After some thinking she decided to use
water because she could not lift the Jars
of milk. She filled her pan over half fun
with water. Then came her two little
hands full OF flour, because Bridget used
flour for cakes and cookies.
She concluded that this was all and put
It on the stove. Then she sat down and
rocked her doll and waited for her candy
Cor rather her mixture), TO cook. At last
1t began to bubble and boil a little bit
Mary Elizabeth clapped her hands and
squealed, IT'S cooking! It's eooking!"
Then she sat down again. never imagin-
ing that candy needed stirring or atten-
ton OF any sort.
After a short time she heard something
sizzle a little bit, then a little more. She
looked up just In time to see a foamy
brown mass boil over onto the stove and
burn black.
Mary Elizabeth screamed, and Bridget
came running down the back stairs.
my! Whatever are you about?" she
asked.
"We-el" was the fearful answer; I'll
was i-just making s-some c-c-oandy for
Th-Thankssiving."

This went on until crowding around the
fire there were twenty-five children all
less than II years OF age. And very good
times they had, too. They played games
till dinner.

They then started to play and all went
well till they noticed Baby Ben was
gone AS quietly as possible the children
began to hunt him, but could not find
him, and the grown up people started to
hunt him. too.
He was in small cradle in the bed

Orlando Smith. Aged Years 2S07 South

Once upon a time there was a family
that was very poor. The mother was sick,
the father dead and one little girl about
was crippled so that left a little girl IL
years old to make the living. Her name
was Martha.
She got up one morning real early and
went from house to house asking people il
they wanted some one to help them with
their work. But everybody said, mo"
Soon Martha came to a house in She
woods, She went to the door and knocked
and knocked, but nobody answered. She
opened the door and walked in She found
things very dusty and dirty. She got the
broom and the duster and made things look
neat and tidy in few moments.
After a while an old woman walked into
the house. and when she saw everything
so clean she decided TO keep Martha and
have her do the work while she went to
her stall to sell apples. She was a wealthy
woman, although she did sell apples. Mar
tina was very glad when the old woman
told her she was going to keep her.
The next day when the woman started
to work she told Martha to do her work
well and at the end Of two weeks she
would be rewarded
tina was washing the dishes when she came
to an old. black kettle. she was very tired,
so she thought she wouldn't wash 1t be-
cause she was going home the next day
any way.
She went to bed, but couldn't go to sleep
for a long time. When she did q little
voice keep saying to her, DIRTY kettle.
dirty kettle" until she woke UP.
Then she dressed and ran down stairs
and secured the kettle but she didn't scour
very long because the black fell off and
she discovered the kettle was gold.
The Old lady told her that that was her
reward. Martha thanked her again ana
again and ran home to tell her mother and
little sister the good news.
Then she went and sold the kettle for q
large sum OF money and bought her mother
and little sister a lot Of nice things to eat
and wear After buying those things she
had enough money left to keep the three
for a long time.

line. while Johnny met him half way. The
little boys had a very limited knowledge
OF warfare, but Johnnys uncle Harry had

Spain, and had often talked OF those

had a vague idea that war consisted Of
going TO a foreign country. seeing sights,
wearing uniform, commanding a regiment
and coming home again with colors flying
and drums beating. Even in his dreams
he saw himself as a gay-hearted captain,
leading his men TO the front But never
