A Lonely Tulip

BY Elizabeth Wright. Aged L. 1922 South
Thirty-ffth Ave, Omaha Red Side
once upon time there was little white
tulip growing all alone in the woods
There was d large fern that grew next
to it that felt sorry for it growing all by
itself. The fern also protected 1t from the
snow, wind and rain. One day there was
a party of boys and girls roaming through
the woods. Pretty soon they came upon
the little white tulip. Huh, wonder what
that thing is doing here all alone?" said
one of the boys. and started to crush 1t
with his foot, when a boy named Harry
stopped him. He then dug it up and put
it tenderly in a basket he was filling with
flowers. "Whew! Lots of good that thing
will do you" retorted the other boy saw
agely. At that Harry turned around and
walked home, carrying the little white
tulip He planted it by itself. Some time
after more tulips came from it and about
three weeks after Harry got the reward
or prize for the most perfect white tulip.

Maryland army corps under General Burn

ties of the rebellion corporal was think
ing of mother, sister and home as II was
his 21st birthday, but just then the officer
in the rank above him was killed. The
captain said, Corporal, take that mans
place and stand by your men,
The enemy was driving them back when
a man shouted, Corporal Hughle run for
your life or you viii be taken prisoner"
II must stand by my men," was the reply.
In few moments he with a number OF
others was taken prisoner and sent to the
almost unknown, but terrible prison at
Salisbury, N c. His playmate in child
hood was there. At times he would say
,,Hugie, cheer up we will soon be ex-
changed" Time passed. and every day
comrades died, for they had little to eat
but corn and the winter was very cold.
Christmas came and still no change in the
diet or treatment. In January the corporal
was daily growing weaker. He called
his friend and said. II will never see

After we had finished eating they began
questioning us: Where we lived; what KIND

To all OF these questions we save the

Mr.. Frog was calling to his wife, Mrs

some neighbours at the farther end OF the

had happened which caused her husband
TO call to her to come home at once. The
something was heavy stone which had

which was only two inches from the water

ing" said Mr.. Frog. And kissing his wife
and sleeping son, he hurried away. But
hardly had he left the shelterlng roof of
his secure house when, splash went a
stone in the water close to his head. Mr..
Frog lodged into the shadow Of a fallen log
just in time to save himself from another
stone which went splash nearer TO him
than did the first, just missing him by a
hair. "Ah, saved from those horrible mon
sters," he said. '1'll creep down the Pond
under the grass and not risk the open
again" And this he was going when an
other and a greater splash came, Earring
the very log under which Mr.. Frog had
taken shelter and causing a tremendous
commotion over the whole Pond. But this
time 1t was not mere stone which struck

And from the water came the bellowins
OF the floundering Boy who was more
frightened than hurt, for the water in the
Pond was nowhere over his head But
like all cruel boys. he was a coward, and
at the first danger to himself beloved and
screeched In most disgusting manner

Lillian's visit to FARMLAND.

Hamilton Street, Omaha, Neb Red Side.
One day Lillian sat down to watch the
snow, suddenly before she knew It a shin
ing young lady drove up to the window
and asked Lilly as they called her for short
II she would like to go to fairylana. She
said she would like TO go very much, but
she was too big. At that very moment
the lady touched her with her wand-she
was changed to fairy like the lady who
came after her Then the lady said "step
into my chariot" Lilly stepped into the
little chariot and rode TO Fairyland, the
queen greeted Lilly respectfully and showed
her all around, and there were lots OF
pretty things In Fairyland. And after she
had seen everything the fairy who brought
her took her back to her own home again
and when she awoke she found herself
in her little bed all covered up nice and
snug. That must have been a dream she
thought, no doubt she was mistaken.

shame. The Girl at last spoke: Wen
promise never to throw stones at the frogs
again, Sir"
Yes, IN never do SO again." agreed the
Boy, still keeping his eyes bent on the
ground. Il guess 1t was wrong for me
to do as 1 was doing when 1 fell into the
Pond and that was sent on me by way of
punishment I'll tell Mamma all about it,
and-if she thinks l deserve it, I'll 60 to

We'll, in future be quite sure that you
do not hurt them" said the young man.
And now I'll be on my way, and shall
believe you repentant boy, sorry for his
past wickedness. Good-day to you both"
The Boy and Girl stood looking after
the young man till he was lost to view
behind some trees; then they turned slowly
homeward. And as they walked along, the
Boy dripping and most uncomfortable they
resolved never, never to inJure harmless
living thing again.
And in the house OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frog
great preparations for a party were going
on, for little Greenback had awakened,
feeling quito himself again, but not able to
go out to play with his comrades, the other

parents had planned to have a party for
him that evening, and had sent out in
vltations to all Greenbacks little friends
TO come just as the full moon was peeping
through the trees at herself in the Pond.
And they felt not afraid, for Mr.. Frog and
many of his friends had seen the Boy in
the Pond and had heard his frantic cries
for help, and later had overheard every
word said by the young man to their
cruel tormentor. and knew that the mon
ster' would not return to annoy them
again. You see, they could understand the
young man, the Boy and the Girl, much
better than the Boy and Girl could under
stand them. And 1t made them feel very
happy and secure when the two children
promised never to throw stones at them
again.
And so It happened that peace and con-
tentment reigped in the Pond, and that
no other children ever came there TO throw
stones at the dear, lively little frogs. for
the story of the Boys experience got
about, and the lesson he learned was an
piled to the other children in the neigh
