BRAVE DEED BRINGS
RICH reward
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
m ONY had been sick-so sick that
his mother thought he would
u never be well again. His papa had
died the year before ami they were 50
poor that often there was not even
bread to eat, but they loved each other
dearly.
Tony would say, "Never mind, moth
er, when I'm man I'll be rich and
you shall not work any more"
His mother would smile and call him
q good boy, but the tears would come
to her eyes, for she thought her Tony
would never live to be man.
One day Tony saved the life of a little
playmate, dragging him from in front
of fire engine. This attracted the at
tention of a gentleman who praised
him for his noble deed Jaw, dat
wasn't nuffin',' said Tony.
He wished to take Tony to the coun-
try, but Tony would not leave his
mother. I'VE will take her with us"
said the gentleman.
The next day a carriage came for
them. oh, how grand it seemed to
Tony to be riding in a fine carriage.
He thought they would never get out
of the city, but at last the houses got
farther and farther apart, and finally
they were in the country.
Down a lane they turned, bordered
by locust trees in bloom. A rail fence
on each side over which climbed wild
rose vines and blackberries. A clover
pasture on one side was filled with
sweet smelling blossoms. while on the
other side was the old orchard with
its luscious fruit.
The horses stopped in front of a
great white house and they were given
a hearty welcome.
The days that followed were happy
ones for both, for the roses came back
to the pale cheeks and the boy grew
stronger every day. He would ride
the horses to and from the field and
bring up the COWS from the pasture,
feed the pigs and hunt for eggs.
When the summer was over Mr.. and
Mrs. Sanford had become so attached
to the little fellow they would not let
him go back to the city, but kept him
always. ANNA M FhLfknN'

HELPED HER RELATIVES
MAKE BUTTER IN IOWA
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
=" OW 1 wish you could see my
great-grandfather's farm. 1 think
IL it is one of the most beautiful
places in Iowa. This farm consists OF
$50 acres, but is not all waving fields
of grain, orchards and gardens as the
word farm" might imply. Instead 1t
is rolling meadows and grand woods.
To enter the farm we had to cross
an old, rickety, yet safe, bridge, which
extended over sparkling brook, which
goes merrily singing and murmuring
over the moss-covered rocks.
The roads which lead through the
farm are lined with hickory, oak and
maple trees.
Just in front of the house is a giant
pine tree, which is green summer and
winter. The path which leads to the
house is bordered by lilacs and snow
drop plants
The house is a big two-story house
and was once painted white. The
rooms are all large and airy, but the
kitchen and sitting room attracted my
attention most The kitchen was
large room lighted by two big WIN
dows. In one corner of the room Is
large fireplace. The curtains on the
windows were spotless, as was every
thing else.
The sitting room was furnished with
plenty of comfortable chairs. and some
books were on the table. On one side
was big fireplace. Over it hung
pair of deers antlers and on the walls
hung many pictures of animals.
Outside of the house was a smoke
house. Here they kept their smoked
meats of all descriptions. ALI farms
have some cattle, as this one, but this
one had plenty of everything.
There was plenty of garden for our
own use, grain and food for cattle and
cherries, apples and plenty of plum
trees
While there my occupation and fun
consisted of fishing, eating and can
ming fruit and strolling around the
place. Sometimes helped Aunt Rosa
line to make butter and such things!
Your loving niece,

HAD FUN FEEDING PIGS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
went with my father to my uncle's
for a year.
We liked to play in the hay. We
would get at the top of the baRn and
jump off into it. When we had extra
time we would ride a horse.
We had lot of fun trying to ride
pigs. When we got on their backs they
would hump up their backs and tryztp
dump us Off We had one big pig that
liked for US to ride it. 1t would run
along with one of us on his back as if
we were nothing.
My uncle's house was a big red one
with green roof He had big barn.
He always drove white horse to mar
ket.
One day he went to town with his
white horse and came back with pret-
ty black one. He told us that he had
got hit with a train and they bought
him another horse because his was
killed. This horse was named Petsie.
The next day we went for ride
with his new horse.

HIT THE CAN TO SCARE HORSE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One hot summer day when we lived
on the farm 1 was going to town.
We did not have any whip, so we did
not know how to make the old horse
go. Soon it stopped running and be-
gan walking. We had two cans in the
buggy, so one time when the old horse
stopped still 1 gave the biggest can.
hard hit and it made so much noise
that it scared the horse. 1t began to
run as fast as it could.
The store was about four miles from
the farm and we had to take a horse
and buggy. We could make it in about
a half hour.
When we got to the store the store
keeper gave us a little rocking chair
with a can ofsbaking powder that we
got from him.
We got home all right and I took
the chair in to my sister. She was
baby then and we gave her lots of
things. CHARLES PRUDEN,

DONKEY SURPRISED HIM
WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO RIDE
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Hl OMORROW I was to go to Uncle
Bens farm, twenty-five miles
Il from the city! Yesterday we re-
ceived a telegram from my uncle ask
ing if | could come down and spend
the summer vacation 1t was easy to
gain my mothers consent and l was
to go tomorrow, so you can expect
hardly slept that night, l was so busy
planning what l would do when l got
there.
Well, the day finally came and after
getting my things together 1 got on
the train and was soon on my way.
The train pulled in at last and l got
off in front of the little red station.
There l met my cousin, Bert, and we
both climbed into the wagon and rode
to the house. Uncle Ben came out with
my aunt and after exchanging greet
ings we went into the house.
My two brothers, Leslie and Walter,
both lived there with my aunt, cousin
and uncle and we three had good
times together.
After being introduced to the dom
keys, chickens, dogs, cats, cows, horses
and mules the next day we turned in
for a swim at the slcughs and enjoyed
the rest of the day in numerous other
sports. Yts
About a week later 1 tried for the
first time to ride one of the donkeys,
Jane. 1t was then l received the sur
prise of my life. With a snort and
plunge of the animal found myself
seated on the ground. If ever felt
like doing something harmful to my
brother Leslie, it was then, for he
stood there laughing as. though he
would never stop. He was older than
1, so I let the matter drop.
Well, / had a good bit of fun that
summer and was sorry to leave.

FRIED FISH ON CAMP FIRE
IN PRETTY CANYON
HONORABLE MENTION


Dear Aunt Laurie:
WI HEN school was out Mabel and
w I went to visit our sister, who
lived in the country.
Our brother met us at the depot
with a big hay wagon, and as he lived
three miles from the depot, we passed
many a bush loaded with luscious
blackberries that seemed nodding to
us specially to come and pick them.
So we did.
We also went through fields of red
top clover and new-mown hay.
After our delightful ride we reached
the old farm house where sister was
waiting to receive us with open arms.
We laid away our wraps and pre-
pared for supper. Such a supper it
was in this big. old-fashioned kitchen,
with its beams overhead and the
sweet scented honeysuckle and
clematis blowing in.
How can l describe the supper of
sweet rich milk, homemade bread,
gooseberry pie and raspberry jam?
After supper we went out under the
large walnut tree and there we swung
until the old man in the moon laughed
at us and made us go to bed.
In our snowy white bed we slept
till the singing of the birds awakened
us. We arose and ate breakfast, after
which we went up the river to the old
sawmill, which had stood on its banks
for many years.
Here we sat down to fish, Cousin
Will bated our hooks because we were
afraid of the worms, but 1 have an
idea that Will was laughing at us,
though seeming demure.
We left the mill and went farther up
the stream, where we sat down under
some trees and fried the fish we had
caught.
After eating we gathered our arms
full of dogwood and paas blossoms,
prickly pears and sassafras bark.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-08

then the other foot was greatly
pleased at the sensation 1t gave me
and said, "Oh, mamma, it's like walk
ing on springs!"
Behind the house were some giant
oak trees. The roots of these trees
stuck out of the ground and made fine
hobby horses. 1t would take too long
to tell you of all my many pleasures
at my grandma's, Aunt Laurie, so 1
will close.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From NepE1ervs and Nieces
CALF FOLLOWED JUNIOR
AROUND LIKE A DOG
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Asst year l spent vacation on my
sisters farm. While l was there
1 learned a great deal about birds.
I liked &c sit under the trees and
watch the robins teach their young
ones to fly.
My brother often let me take the
cows to the meadow and sometimes he
would let me milk one. They gave me
a little calf which would follow me
like dog. 1 was fond of sheep, too.
Every day tried to discover some-
thing new. One day 1 went to watch
the men make hay. l had nice time
playing in it and helping to rake it in
piles. Then l took walk in the
woods. Squirrels ran across the path
and the rabbits disappeared very fast.
On one side of the woods was
pond in which were great many lilies.
l threw some bread to the fishes, but
frog hoped on lily and that fright
ened them away.
One day 1 discovered a nest belong
ing to some field mice. My brother
said they were harmless so we let
them stay. The nest is very small
and sometimes it is without door.
in many places one place is in the
hay. Some of the birds were so tame
that they rode on the Sleeps backs.
They pull out pieces of wool to line
their nests with.

Finnish Roll.

Mix enough shortening into entire
wheot bread dough, after the second
raising, to make 1t tender; one-fourth
cupful to each pound will usually be
sufficient; roll out ~one-fourth inch
thick and spread with creamed butter;
then spread with dried cherries.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and grated
nutmeg; then roll as for jelly cake,
wetting the outer edge with water
and pressing together, forming in a
ring and fastening the ends together
with water; with shears cut into
slices one-half inch thick, allowing
each slice to lap a little on the previ-
Gus slice. so the ring will remain in
tact when all are cut; let rise to dou-

and bake; serve hot with stewed
cherries heaped in the center and COW
cred with a sauce, or serve with
coffee, emitting the fruit and sauce
in the center.
