Josephine's Christmas.

BY Mary Brown Aged "A Years 1922 Cen
trail Boulevard omaha. Red Side.
II was nearing Christmas and dear old
Santa was telling -the Brownies to watch
how the children behaved.
One Brownie watched a place where lived
q few rich families and very many poor
ones.
In one Of the rich houses lived a little
girl whose name was Josephine.
One day her mother said to her: Joseph
inc, l think as you are getting older, this
year when santa brings you presents you
ought to give some OF them to the poor
children who don't receive any"
But Josephine only got angry and said:
II l have to give some of my presents
away I wished that Santa wouldn't bring
me any"
It just CHANGED that one Of the Brownies
heard her say this and her wish was full
filled Christmas came and she received no
presents. She wondered then why and
asked her mother what she thought was
the reason. Her mother reminded her of
what she had wished and told her not to
be so fast in wishing the next time,
In the afternoon Josephine went to her
grandmss house and found all her pres
ents there. She thought then how she
would feel u she received no presents and
she at once took some Of her own and dis
tributed them among her friends who re-
ceived none. This made her more happy
than she would have been II she had kept
them all.

full OF thoughts about turkey and cram
berries and all the good things they were
to have to eat
Tomorrow came and with it Thanksgiv-
ing. About o'clock they boarded the
train for Centervlle.
Grandpa Deane met them at the train
and then they all got into his big bob
sled and drove TO the farm What fun 1t
was to tho city children!
When they reached the farm they found
all their cousins, aunts and uncles there,
and dear, old grandma. They nearly jumped
out Of the sled, and then what a fine dinner
they had!
The dinner consisted Of turkey, mashed
potatoes, gravy cranberries, two pump
kin pies. two mince pies, bread, butter
jam, apple sauce, apples, grapes, oranges,
coffee and tea.
They had eaten so much that after din
ner they felt like stuffed turkeys. Then
they began to play games. They played
hide and go seek, hide the thimbie and
many other interesting games.
About o'clock the Deanes got ready 10
go home. The children did not want to
go home yet, for they had been having
too good a time. But the next day was
a school day and they could not miss It,
Then they put their wraps on and
Grandpa Deane took them to the station
in the sled again. Then they got on the
train and went home
As Mrs. Deane kissed each OF her little
folks that night and tucked them in they
each declared they had had a very good
time.

BY Dorothy Corell, Otisville. n. Y. Age
II years Blue Side.
There was once little girl who was
very poor Her name was Ruth. Her
father was dead, so she and her mother
we're left to make their living.
Ruth attended school every day. one
day when she reached home she found
her mother very sick. She went for the
doctor at once. He said: Your mother had
a high fever and must stay in bed for
about a week" As Ruth was going to
school the next morning she saw in the
window Of a shop. some large red apples.
III only l could take one Of those to
mamma" she thought But can't for
l have no money"
She went on and reached the school
house as the bell was ringing, but she
could not study because her mind was on
the red apples.
Her teacher said, why. Ruth, what ails
you? You don't get your lessons?'
Ruth hung her head and made no reply.
The day was soon over and as she was
going from the school that night she passed
an old gentleman who had dropped his
pocketbook and did not seem TO notice it.
Ruth picked IL up. Her heart gave
great bound Now / can buy mamma one
OF those red apples" she thought, ooh,
but it is wicked TO steal, / must give It
back" she said half aloud.
So she ran after him and said, You
dropped your pocketbook, sir" Thank
you, thank you" said the old man turn
ing around as she spoke. why did you
not keep it?'
why, that would be stealing" she said
looking up little surprised.
Here is a dollar for you, my dear"
Thank you; you are very kind"
oh. don't mention it my dear he said
as he walked away.
Ruth went straight to the shop where
the apples were. As she stood looking at
them the storekeeper saw her, and picking
a nice bright, red apple up, took 1t out
and said, Would you like an applet"

could come to the back door When Mabel
came he asked her IL she knew him.
Are you Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Smith or Mr..
Roy?"
NO, I'm none Of these, I'm Mr.. Thomp-
son, your own true father"
He then related what he had been doing
80 long when we were on our way home
we had a wreck and the ship was Knocked
to pieces / and Mr. Ray fortunately went
ashore and another ship came and took all
the others, but, the anchor broke and we
did not have time to get on. Mr. Ray
and I stayed together and lived on berries
and fish and water for four years, so now
l can eat a good hearty meal"
Then Mrs. Thompson went in and got
chicken potatoes and many other good
things to eat But they were all glad he

BY Minnie schIichting. Aged u Years.
Cedar Bluffs, Neb, Blue Side.
William Brewster was a postmaster, but
he did not have much mail to handle, be-
cause there we're no newspapers, and peo-
pie did not write any letters. King James
tried to make everybody in his kingdom
90 to the English church, of which he was
the head There were some things that he
taught In that church that William Brew
ster did not approve and some of his
neighbors thought as he did. So the Separ-
atists, as they were called, met every Sun
day in a room of their own.
When the king heard this they were
forced to pay a heavy fine Tie only
place they could go was to Holland. There
they could go to any church that they
pleased. Soon a Dutch sea captain took
them to Holland They were now called
Pilgrims.
The people in Holland treated them
kindly. But they feared their children
would learn the Dutch language and forget
English, At length they decided to 20
to America. So they got the kings permits
sion. He let them have some land where
they could build a church OF their own.
They worked seven hard years to make
their ship 1t was called the "Mayflower."
One cold day in the autumn OF 1870 the
Pilgrims landed al Cape Cod, near q large
rock on which they scratched 1920. This
is still to be found there. They were very
glad to stand on solid ground after being
on sea two long, stormy months.
They had a very cold winter; they al
most starved, but the Indians taught them
how TO plant corn and hunt and were very
kind to them. When the summer was over
they decided TO have a feast. They in
Vited the Indians to come. They hunted
and got the wild turkey and gathered al
kinds Of berries.
This feast lasted three days II was the
first Thanksgiving day.

"Gobble, Gobble," Goes the Turkey.
BY Arthur Mason, Aged 70 Years. 1905
North Irving, Fremont, Neb. Red Side.
The turkeys in the Darnyard we're strut
ting proudly round They did not know
what was going 10 happen on the morrow,
nor that in two days Thanksgiving would
be there. They sat down on the ground
and picked up some corn husks for napkins
as the farmer and his son were bringing
on the food. The ground was their table
and the trough was their plate.
As the food was being put on the plate
the farmers wife and daughter came out
and leaned up against the fence. The
leader of the turkey gang said; II wonder
what they are looking at US for; gobble,
gobble gobble'
But the. farmer and his wife knew what

in their frail crafts to find new worlds and
new peoples. to return after long and per-
ilous voyages to tell the wondering crowds
of the strange things they had discovered.
one OF the boldest and most prolific of
explorers nf the early times was Vasco da
CANA, OF Portugal, But II is better TO
quote from the interesting book, The
Worlds Discoveries" than to try to give
you the story OF da Cana in my own
words
What Columbus sought Vasco da Cana
found. Indeed, II would be difficult to
overestimate the consequences OF his voy-
age. 1t opened a new epoch In the worlds
development. In importance, II ranks next
to Columbus own discoveries.
One circumstance shows the immense
influence OF Marco Polo in stimulating the
spirit OF exploration There was a myth
ical parsonage called Prester John, Of
whom much was heard in Europe from the
twelfth century down to a comparatively
late day. He was reputed to be a mighty
priest-king, reigning in almost inconceiv-
able splendor over a great Christian king
dom A score Of archbishops sat on his
right and a hundred mitred bishops on his
left hand Ten thousand knights and 100, 900
footmen were his bodyguard, In his palace
the commonest articles were Of gold stud
ded with gems. All these fables Europe
believed. and they seemed 70 derive con-
firmation from the narrative Of Marco
Polo, who makes frequent mention OF
Prester John and locates him in eastern
Asia. We are not surprised. therefore
that Vasco da Cana was especially In
structed TO seek the kingdom Of Prester
John Accordingly we find him everywhere
inquiring for Christians in eastern Africa
and India; aud the expectation OF enooun-
tering them led him and his followers into
some ludicrous mistakes.
