think such mothers as ours should be
sainted."
Yes, but you don't find many mothers
as good as ours" declared Bert.
That is the way we think" laughed
Julia. But II we take a vote from the
children at school as to who should be
sainted in our community. why, each child
would vote for his own mother, just as we
would vote for ours"
Bert had to agree with Julia and then
the subject was changed. But throughout
the day Julia kept thinking of good ST.
Patrick, and wishing that she might meet
saint. That evening as she and Bert went
home they decided to stop at the house Of
very poor family TO inquire after their
health. There were only three in the
family-father, mother and young son.
And their livlihood was gotten from a small
tract OF very wretched. sandy soil which
required the tilllng Of every acre and
which grew things so stingily. Indeed, it
was said Of this family that they suffered
dire want during the winter and early
spring, for their provisions usually gave
out before another crop could be grown.
In response to Bert's tap at the door
boys voice called out: Come in" Bert
and Julia entered the wretched abode and
saw the mother on the bed, very Ill. The
father was sitting beside a rusty stove in
which struggled a fire OF green wood The

Discovery of Coal in America
BY Fern Everltt, Aged 12 Years, 62 West
Twenty-flrst street, Kearney. Neb.

BY Fern Everltt Aged 12 Years, 621 West
Twenty-first street, Kearney Neb
Blue Side
Many years ago people used wood for
their fires in America. Coal was used
little in England to run their factories,
but little was used in the home.
One day a trapper was out camping. He
had been out for several days with few
other men. They were far away from
any timber.
On the seventh day their provisions were
getting so low that the bravest started
out. saying: II will not return until
have found something that will be fit for
us to eat"
The following day he was about dis
tressed. He had not found thing and.
besides. he had lost his way. That even
ing he went on, not stopping for the cold.
Finally he came upon some small black
pieces of hard humps. He stepped on one
Of them and 1t broke in two.
Inside OF this 1t looked grainy and shone
like diamonds. He picked them up, think
ing they might be some value. but, before
he went away, he made sure of the place.
The following day he reached the city
about o'clock, and was much surprised
when, after going to a small shop he was
told that it was soft coal he had found,
That night he was not too excited to
remember his poor friends. who by this
time must surely be starving.
Before he started the next day he ordered
a good supply OF food, which was received
Just in time. lie went with the men to
where he had found the coal. 1t proved
to be a great coal mine.
After this he became one Of the most
popular men in the city, for the coal mine
was being worked daily. Several other
coal mines have been found, but none
proved quite as valuable as this one.

II was showing hard, and little Anna was
very cold Under one arm she carried a
box Of shoe strings that she was selling.
1t was dark and she had sold few shoe
strings that day. She knew she must not
go back to her home without having sold
all of her shoestrings because the woman
who kept her would whip her and send her
to bed without her supper
So Anna sat down on a door step TO rest.
All at once a very large snowflake fell on
her cheek. 1t rested there minute, then
turned into a beautiful fairy, who asked
Anna II she would like to go to fairyland
with her for supper and to get warm. :;
Anna said she would gladly go, for she
was very cold and hungry, too.
The fairy then waved her wand over q
very large flake near her and 1t became
a beautiful coach. Then she touched six
smaller flakes and they became birds TO
draw the coach. When all was ready, the
fairy bade Anna get In, but she said
she was afraid she would soil the beautl-
ful coach with her dirty feet.
The fairy then waved her wand over
Anna and she found herself dressed from
head TO foot In lovely warm ermine robes
When they were seated the fairy blew a
tiny silver whistle which hung on a chain
around her neck and the coach was OF
for falryland.

She tells them of fairies
Who live in the clouds,
And who can fly through the air;
And after she's through
They're almost asleep,
And then it is time for their prayer.

And feelingly pray to their God
To keep them through night

ton yesterday, he found one firm in

plosive, and the matter has been
called to the attention of the city
officials.
Mr.. Moury reports the city in very
good condition as far as danger
from fire is concerned. but recon-
mends that conditions will be i'm
proved by the cleaning out of com
bustible material in the alleys.
