Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nep11ervs and Nieces
LARK WAS CROWNED
QUEEN OF THE MAY
FIRST PRIZE


Dear Aunt Laurie:
HN HE lark was very happy. There
was to be a May day picnic and
~ she was to be the queen. She
had wreath made of cobwebs and
dewdrops and her throne of honey
suckles and yellow violets was wait
ing for her. She trod daintily along
a path of wild rose petals, attended
by her maids of honor, the mocking-
bird, the oriole and the wren.
When she had taken her place on
the throne the program began. The
ore who took part best in the pro-
gram was to receive a prize. First
Sir Mockingbird stepped forth. He
gave some very clever limitations of
the other birds and was rewarded by
loud chirpings. He was very modest
bird however, and would not repeat
his performance. Next appeared two
robins who gave a mock fight. The
victor was swelling himself with pride
when he stepped backward and was
preciptated off the back of the plat
Wren, who was prearing to ascend the
platform. Poor Miss Wren was so
fluttered that although all the birds
tried to persuade her to she would not
give her part.
Next, and last, came the nightin-
gale. She sang twice and her songs
were so much appreciated that the
queen decided the prize must go to
her. She received pair of fox gloves,
also a pair of lady-slippers to wear on
state occasions. Just as she received
her prizes / felt someone shaking me,
and waking up l found mother waiting
to dress me. RUTH MERRILL.

LITTLE oPHAN FINDS
A HAPPY HOME
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IN HE little May queen was an or
(phan. Her friends crowned her
\ queen because she was always
so cheerful. She was very happy all
day; happier than she had ever been
since her mother died.
When she went TO bed On the night
OF her happy day she fell asleep as
soon as her head touched the pillow
and the Dream Fairy completed her
happiness with pleasant dreams.
She dreamed she had a beautiful,
sweet mother and nice, kind father,
and lived il. a large house. She lived
with her nanny, a kind old negress.
They were very poor and sometimes
they did not have enough to eat.
Lucille awoke to find herself in her
own dingy little room. She could hear
someone talking long and earnestly to
her nanny in the next room. Pretty
soon a lady came into her room who
Looked Just like her mother did in
the dream. This lady said to Lucille,
'"My dear little girl, wouldn't you like
to come and live with me in nice,
big hcuse?"
Lucille, "but couldn't leave nanny"
"I would not think of asking you to
part with her." said the beautiful lady;
"you may take her long and she will
be well cared for. have no little girl
of my own and I get very lonesome
when my husband is away"
With little more discussion 1t was
settled and Lucille and her nanny
went to live with the beautiful lady.

ground.
There was a stir and 10! a beautiful
fairy came forth. She wore a beauti-
full gown made from the petals of the
waterlily. She had beautiful gauzy
wings and long veil, which the spider
had spun for her in her hand she car
ried a wand. Ten little fairies fol-
lowed. Each one was dressed as a
flower.
one carried a tiny crown made of
the lilies-of- -the-valley. The beautiful
fairy took her place under an arbor
made of wild roses. The ten fairies
took their places at her side. The one
with the crown came forward and
bowed before her. The beautiful fairy
stopped down and the fairy placed the
crown on her head. Soft, sweet music
was in the air. Then the fairies took
hold of each others hands and danced
around their May Day Queen.

QUEEN HAS CROWN
OF LIVING GOLD
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
TN HE princess sat by the window and
her blue eyes wandered to the
flowery mound under an old oak
tree. This was the throne for the
May queen.
The princess was unlike princesses in
fables and newspapers, for she was de-
cidedly homely. Her only redeeming
feature was the braids of thick flaxen
hair which hung over her shoulders.
How she envied Linnette that beauti-
full peasant who had been made May
queen. Why hadn't she been a peas
ant?
A tear rolled down the pale cheek.
Her white hands rested listlessly in
her silken lap. She leaned her head
against the easement and sighed deep
er than ever.
Then before her seemed to stand the
Spirit of Spring, in delicate green and
fresh apple blossoms.
Sigh not" said Spring. "for you are
chosen queen of the May
But" gasped the astonished prin-
cess, II am so homely."
Spring bent and kissed the eyes and
cheeks of the princess, saying, "Child,
you have not learned the secrets of
beauty. A cheerful, kindly face is
beauty in the highest form. Think not
that the misfortune of being born a
princess is the worst that may befall
a mortal. Coil your hair of living gold
about your brow and weep no more"
SO the princess was queen of the
May and occupied the coveted throne.
Lads and lassies danced about her
singing:
Queen of the May, Queen of the May,
With the crown of living gold;
Oh come, come, dance and play,
No mortal gold
Could ever mold
Like the crown of our beautiful May"
She awoke. She had learned les
son. Henceforth the princess bound
her hair about her white brow and
sorroWed no longer.
When she came to the throne she
was known throughout the land by
peasants and courtiers alike as "the
queen with the crown of living gold"

"Where would you like to go?' spoke
a wee voice.
"Any place." replied Rhoda without
thinking.
"Well, we will go to fairyland, for
today is our May day, too," replied the
voice.
"Come, take me to Fairyland, for
love you dear creatures" cried Rhoda.
They fioated away on stream.
Soon a sweet melody was heard and
Just around the curve came the fairy
boat filled with elves. Rhoda threw
sweet strawberries at them.
The sweet voice then spoke. My
name is Delight. You may come with
me now"
"But how am I to go on board?

piled Rhoda.
"You won't now" replied Delight.
"Oh, am so small now I can go to

Rhoda with delight.

NICE TIME AT PICNIC
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day in May a wagon load of boys
and girls, with their parents, went on a
picnic. 1t was on the birthday of one
of the women and was a surprise to
her.
1t took three hours to drive to the
grounds. The reason the grounds were
so far away was because the people
wanted the children to get good long
ride.
When we got to the grounds we each
got some apples. 1t was on farm in
Kansas. After dinner was over we
selected a boy for king and a girl for
queen. We played games, and the one
who lost in the game was put in prison
until three games were over. The boys.
and girls got apples and gave the king
and queen all they could carry. After
this we went home.

1.-THE Thief"

In the Bernstein play of THE Thief"
which Charles Frohman is to send to
the Gennett on Saturday, Jan. goth,
with a special cast, the wife's love for
the husband is idolatrous. and in her
foolish, pitiable, wretched dread that
she will lose his love, which indeed
is received by him more as a tribute
than as a benefaction-she becomes
actually monomaniac, and she steals
money with which to pay for pretty
raiment intended to make herself
more attractive in his eyes. The the
DRY of passionate devotion is pushed
to its fullest extent in the play, but
those observers who think that such
a love is impossible know but little
about mankind. 1t is not only posi-
BILE, but it is of frequent occurrence.
and the social philosopher is unwise
who does not include it in his phil
osophy.

small expense as he had done since
the cleanup. and that he considered
the money it had cost as a good in
vestment.
There was a test made of 1920
dairy cattle in one of the most dense
ly populated states and 33 1-3 percent
were found to be tuberculOus. The
cattle tested belonged to 6S3 different
herds. There was another test made
in another part Of the country on L.
53S dairy cattle, of which 1871 per-
cent were infected. 1t has been esti-
mated from tests made by the hygie-
mic laboratory in this city that 515
percent of the milk on the market is
infected with tuberculosis.
Tuberculin has been used at the va
rious experiment stations of the bur
eau of animal industry, and has been
given human beings, dairy cattle,
dogs. monkeys and other animals in
doses far in excess of the amount
used in making the tuberculin tests.
In every one of these cases the heal
thy animals did not suffer from the
incubation, and all of those which
showed the characteristics reaction
proved to be tuberculous.
There are only two methods where
by the public can be protected from
tuberculous milk, one being the clean
ing up of the herd which furnishes it,
and the other is in pasteurizing all
of the milk that is used in the raw
state. Pasteurization means heatin9
the milk to a low temperature, which
does not affect it's digestible and tast-
ing qualities, for period long enough
to kill all of the germs, that are in it.
The best temperature for this is 140
degrees Fahrenheit, which if kept up
for twenty minutes thoroughly steri-
Lies the milk.
A heat of $50 degrees applied for
ten minutes accomplishes the same re-
suit, but this is the highest degree to
which it should be heated without de-
stroying its good qualities. The re-
port says that unfortunately most of
the so-called pasteurized milk is heat
ed to much higher degree for a
much shorter period, and this milk is
not fit to drink. but frequently is not
cleared of disease germs.
The report states that the only way
of protecting the public against un-
scrupulous dealers in pasteurized milk
Is to enforce law stating on the
package the temperatures to which
the milk has been subjected and for
what period.
