ToNY'S DEED OF KINDNESS
ON FOURTH OF JULY
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
n ONY WILSON. aged 7, was sitting
on the step leaning his head
u against the post, looking very
gloomy. His mother happened to
glance out the window and saw him.
so she went out and asked him what
was the matter.
"Oh, I was thinking how 1 shall miss
the fireworks this Fourth of July" he
said, looking up at her.
"There is no use in that, Tony. Just
suppose you got hurt, and then where
will I be?" she answered.
He did not answer, but sat staring
into the street until she said once
more:
Suppose. you were some little boy
that couldn't have any firecrackers be-
cause your parents couldn't afford it,
or some little boy in the hospital who
couldn't enjoy these holidays; you
wouldn't like it very well, would you?
Now just think, wouldn't you like to
make some little boy or girl happy by
doing a kind act instead of keeping
it all to yourself? I think you would"
''Do you really think I could?" he
asked.
"Why not?" she replied, ''you have as
much chance as anyone"
"Well, then, what can L do" he said;
there isn't anything for a boy to do
on the Fourth except have fun?"
Just listen now," she said. This is
my plan. Suppose you ask papa to get
you some little flags instead of getting
your firecrackers. And then on the
Fourth of July you and I will go to
some hospital and give each child a
little flag. Don't you think it will
make them happy?"
He seemed very much pleased with
the plan, but only answered, EYES,"
and his face told the rest.
So it happened that on the Fourth
of July Tony went with his mother

CLEVER YOUNG SKATER
HAD AN UNPLEASlNG DUcklNG
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
George was a bright youngster about
IL years old He had the advantage
over the other boys of being an expert
ice skater, owing to the fact that he
had a small pond in his back yard to
practice on. He had learned to skate
when only years old, and had devoted
all his leisure hours in practicing.
He had noticed that the bulletin
board had announced skating con-
test to be held January 2S. He pFac-
ticed especially hard and had entered
his name among the contestants.
On May 2S many people had gathered
at the appointed place. George had
arrived early, so as to exercise little
before the race.
There were to be different races for
the different ages. George entered the
14-year-old race. In the middle of the
race the ice was broken by one of the
contestants ahead of him, and he.
going at high rate of speed, did not
have time to swing out of the way,
but fell in the broken place and re-
ceived a good wetting. which resulted
in a severe case of pneumonia. Your

AN INDIAN WARRIOR
HUNTS FOR HIS soUAW
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
On the 22nd of April a tribe of Cher
okee Indians celebrated one of their
great chiefs birthdays One of the
Indians took a horse and went off, in
tending to kill a deer to take home to
his squaw and papoose.
He soon killed a couple OF little
fawns. He skinned them both and ate
all he wanted of one of them and put
the rest with the whole deer to take
home.
He went little way off and took
swim in little river, for Indians are
very fond of water. He then got out
and began fishing with string made
of buckskin. He used a grasshopper
for bait. He caught four pound trout.
He then started home on his horse and
arrived with his deer and trout.

HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day Johns mother called him
to come into the house, for she had
something to tell him. AS soon as he
came in she said:
Johnny, am going to let you have
a holiday today and you may go any
where you wish"
That's awfully good of you, Ma"
said John, land will you please put
me up a lunch, for 1 would like to be
gone all day?"
At 8 o'clock Johnny started off. He
walked for nearly a mile, till he came
to a pool. Now this pool belonged to
a farmer who did not like boys, but
just the same Johnny determined to
go swimming here.
He had been swimming about half
an hour when he heard the. sound of
bells and he saw the farmer approach
ing on his old mule. Quickly hiding
among the bushes, he lay quiet as
possible.
Soon the farmer came in sight of
the pool. He looked around and then
his eyes rested upon Johnny's clothes,
which he had forgotten to hide.
"The rascally chap" John heard the
man mutter. "I'1l fix you yet for COM
ing on my premises when you're not
invited"
All the time he was coming toward
Johnny. When he caught sight of

thought that he might join in the pa

with them.
After a while they came to a river.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nephews and Nieces
ZERO HAS FIREWORKS
IN SPITE OF HIS PARENTS
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
~ ERO was sent out in the country
n that Fourth of July to stay with
a his grandmother and maiden aunt
because his parents thought they could
keep him from disflguring himself If
anyone could. His name was not really
Zero, but everyone called him that be-
cause whenever he was asked what he
was doing he invariably answered,
Nothing"
OF course he was to have no fire.
crackers because Aunt Minerva was
very nervous. In fact her name of
Aunt Merry was quite appropriate.
But when he got there he at once went
out to explore the barn and he hid
something carefully under the hay. He
didn't mean to do wrong but he thought
boy ought to have few firecrackers
and he wasn't going to shoot them
where they would do any harm.
The Fourth of July dawned bright
and clear. Zero could hardly eat his
breakfast.
"Bless the child" said Aunt Minerva,
"he's worn out with too much study in
the city schools. The rest and quiet
will do him good"
But that was not what was the mat
ter with Zero. His mind was in the
hay NOW, and after breakfast he ran
out and united his bundle. AS he was
going down the ladder he spied his
grandmother's sitting hen, which he
had been cautioned to let alone. He
could not resist the temptation.
"Oh," he thought, "just one little
cracker won't hurt her. 1 won't throw
it very near her"
But he suddenly grew strong and the
f1recracker lit in the nest and ex-
ploded.
Aunt Nervy had gone away for the
day. When she went out to feed the
sitting hen and looked in the nest:
"Oh, tut, tut, and paid dollar for
that setting of eggs"
That afternoon she was sitting on the
porch knitting when she happened to
see the COW running about the pasture
in queer fashion.
She thought, "Why, wonder what's
the matter with Bossy?'
That night when Aunt Neryy came
home grandma said:
"Oh. Nervy, 1 don't know what's
been the matter with the animals to-
day. They have been so restless. The
hen has broken all her eggs and the
COW has been running around so
queerly, and Rover won't come from
under the bed. and the cats tail looks
like it has been-singed."
When Zero came in Aunt Nervy
asked "What have you been doing
today. Zero?'
He looked very bored as he tried to
hide a powder hole in his waist ana
answered.
Jaw, nothing, auntie. Country's
awful dull"
This Fourth of July Zero can't get
anv firecrackers, which Is good thing.
