Yes, yes, / do for papa" Papa was
quite certain the little one would re-

so dark and big. 1t was IL rect deep
and 6 feet across. There was a barrel
of water in it, but the bottom was
rounding, like the bottom of bowl,
and the edges were not covered. Papa
tied a rope around olive, then she
clasped it firmly with both hands and
he swung her into the box, and down,
down she went until her feet almost
touched the water. Then papa swung
the rope again like the pendulum or
clock until she could gain footing
outside of the water. She ran around
until her bright eyes spied the IRON

and held it fast in one hand, the rope
in the other, until she was safe at the

his wife lived happily for many years,
and little children came to his home.
More years passed. One family after
another moved in and out OF the little
house, and 1t was bought and sold time
and again. Poorer grew the little home
until great war came on and the lit

and the little cottage mouldered away
into dust Around about its site
great forest sprang up and wild beasts
roamed to and fro. One bright May
morn long after the building of the
little house, a small green plant ap-
peared from the dust of the cottage,

The History of an Oak Tree
RUBY VIVIAN MULANAx.
Tulare, California

Long years ago there grew in a great
forest gigantic oak tree IL spread
its giant branches far and bowed it's
majestic head in the breezes and this
oak tree was the king of the forest"
Yet, with all its power and fame. it
was always kind and considerate and
ruled the forest wisely The flowers
grew in beauty, the plants and trees
grew straight and tall and the king
of the forest" thrived year in and year
out.
There happiness reigned until human
hgures appeared upon the scene in an
unlocked for and dreadful way, for one
day after many score years had passed
Ger the old oak tree some men came to
the forest and brought with them shin
ing tools. After conversing together
for short time they began hewing
down the king of the forest" Sew
eral days passed before the old oak at
last fell to the ground, broken in spirit
and broken in heart. After the branches
were cut from the body the trunk was
made into rough boards and poles and
these were loaded on a large wagon
and hauled for many, many miles to a
lumber station. Here the boards and
poles were unloaded and taken TO a
mill, where they were made nice and
smooth. Then they were stacked up
with other oak lumber in great lum-
Der shed. Here they remained for sew
eral months until one day man came
and after looking over the boards in
the large shed said, II will take this
high grade oak lumber" Again were
our oak boards loaded on a large
wagon and hauled great many miles.
The wagon came to a dense forest.
Here the boards were taken from the
wagon by more men with more shining
tools, who took hold of them and
sawed and nailed and cut until cozy
cottage was erected. After the little
cottage was all finished the man who
