An Old LadY,s Christmas

By Emma Bressman, 1881 Emmett Street.
Red Side.
In a little red house far out in the woods
lived a poor old lady, her name was Mrs.
Brown. 1t was near Christmas time and
the old lady was working hard to get
enough money together to buy her a
Christmas dinner. The children in the city
all knew her. So one day the teacher at
school said, Children, let's all save UP
our money and put 1t together and we
will buy Mrs. Brown a Christmas dinner.
How may will do it?" II WILL" Il will"
shouted all the voices. 50 when Christmas
eve came the children got together and
bought her a turkey, cranberries, jelley.
and all kinds Of good things to eat, then
they took them to her. She was very glad
to get them, indeed. II will tell you what
1 am going to do" said May, "a rich little
gtrl) II will invite her to come to my
house and live when 1 go home. 1 will
ask mother If 1 may" So when May got
home she said to her mother: Mamma,
may / invite Mrs. Brown TO live with Us,
she is poor and she has to work so hard
for a living"
Yes, May" said her mother. you may
take Rover with you and go over to her
house right away" So off May started
with Rover on the run Mrs. Brown"
she said, when she got in, Mother and I
wish you to come and stay with u.s." IAN
right" said Mrs. Brown, wait until 1 get
my clothes wrapped up So, after a while
Mrs. Brown, May and Rover started out
for Mays house. The next day was Christ
mas. Mrs. Brown had lots to eat and got
many pretty presents. After that Mrs.
Brown was never alone on Christmas day
and always had a good time.

maid came in. a pretty, short-snouted maid
called Pinkey. Here, Pinkey,' said Mrs.
Pig, ARE two dozen Invitations that l want
you to deliver in person to the addresses
on the envelopes. Now, please be quick
about Il, for 1 want those invited to get
the Invitations at once so as to make any
plans they may see fit"
yes, ma'am," nodded Pinkey, and she
got her fur lined cape and hood and set off
on her mistress errand. She had delivered
about half the Invitations when, on turn
ing a corner, she came face to fact with
Bristles Long Tail. As she had so often
admitted Bristles to her masters house he,
of course, recognized her, and bowed in a
friendly way, saying, What takes you
out on such a cold day, PinkeyY'
I'm delivering the invitations to Master
Snouty's birthday party said Pinkey. And
she held up TO Bristles' view the remaining
dozen invitations.
Now Bristles Long Tail had not heard
anything about the coming party, but he
was not one to be caught. for he be-
thought himself OF an ugly trick to play
on the Physics, whom he envied and hated
without just cause. 'Ah, yes" he smiled.
"Snouty was Just talking 10 me about the
party the other day. Why, at that time
he decided that he and I would carry round
the cards OF invitations. as he wanted to
be quite sure they reached their destination
safely. But-how many have you there?'

How John Got the Prize

BY George Nicholson, Aged 10 Years, King
Bee, Abbott, Neb, Red Side.
Last Christmas a boy named John got
a pair Of skate for a present. He did not
know how 10 skate, and he asked his
brother Charlie to show him how. so the
next day John and Charlie went down to
the pond. They each had a new pair Of
skates. Charlie helped John to put on his
skates and then he showed John how to
skate. John tried to skate, but he always
fell down.. After they had been skating
for about two hours they went home and
John told his mother that he could skate
a little. The next day they went to the
pond again, and when they went home
tina night John could skate a little better
III the day before. After he had been
skating for over a week he could skate
as good as his brother Charlie.
The next week there was going to be
a prize given to the boy who could skate
the fastest. John thought he would try
for the prize. And when the time came
all the boys were there; they all got In
line and then they started. They had to
skate for half a mile. The first quarter
Of a mile John was the fourth. but he
kept gaining, and when they had got to
the winning place John wa the first, so
he got the prize. The prize was a nice
volume OF books. When John got home he
showed his mother the books and she was
pleased he had won the prize, and John
told his mother he was very glad he had
learned to skate.

BY Dorothy Taylor, Aged . Years, Abbot,
Neb. Blue Side.
One Christmas a little girl named Mary
was playing with her doll when her mother
called her downstairs. Her mother told
her to go in the sitting room. When she
went It there was a Christmas tree full OF
toys. She saw a doll, a stove and a doll
bed and some candy. Her mother told her
the things were for her. There were lots
Of other toys on the Christmas tree. She
took her things upstairs and began playing
with her doll, Again when she went down
stairs her schoolmate was there They
played house a while n then took their
sleds and went to ride on them. When
they went In the house Mary's mother had
a lunch ready for the two girls. They had
cake. apples. candy, nuts and oranges.
When they had finished their lunch they
went out and built snow men. They
knocked them down as soon as they built
them. When they had built snow men an
hour they got tired and went in the house
and played with their dolls, when Mary's
school mate went home. Mary said It was
her happiest Christmas.

anything happened to any of them I'd be
to blame" But at the moment Mr.. and
Mrs. Pig stepped to the reception room
door to greet the arriving guests, and you
may believe they were d~umbfounded to see
the Long Tails there. But, being we'll
bred hogs, they greeted the intruders
clvily, though not cordially, and Mrs. Pig
said: d you know that we are entertain
ing in honor of Snouty this evening? It is
his birthday"
The Long Tails mumbled something and
said they wished to pay their respects to
Snouty and to wish him many happy re-
turns. Then they pressed themselves into
the reception room, bowling right and left
to the guests assembled, pretending they
were OF them.
HAIR an hour later Mrs. Pig went TO the
dining room to question Pinkey Say.
Pinkey." she said, ''only half of the guests
have arrived, and it's now an hour past
the time for them to be here. And as I
know then, all to be prompt in keeping
social engagements, / fear something must
have happened. Did you deliver the invita-
tons exactly as l told you to-in person?
You did not trust any OF them to the malls.
did you? 1t seems very strange that only
half Of the guests expected nave arrived.
And, %strangest OF ali, the Long Tails are
here, and they were not on the list Of in
vited. / cannot make 1t out"
Pinkey began to cry and hid her face.
"Oh, Mistress Pig" she walled, II shouldn't
have done It'll know I shouldn't. But at
the time 1t didn't seem wrong. But every
day since It has been in my mind. and 1
have feared some harm might come OF Il"
Then Pinkey told the story Of the invita-
tons and how Bristles had got them into
his own hands.
Mrs. Pig called TO her husband. who was
made acquainted with the facts. He was
so indignant that he could scarcely retain
his composure. Those people shall be
shown up-and at once" he cried.
Then, accompanied by his irate wife, Mr..
Pig walked boldly into the midst of his as
sembled guests, and, with flashing eyes on
the three Long Tails. he exposed their
mean trickery, sparing not a detail. And,
now, sir, and madam, and also your son.
he said with biting scorn, you will prob
ably find 1t convenient to take your leave.
Good night" And waved his arm towards
the hall door, which the weeping Pinkey
was holding open for the intruders to pass
through.
After the Long Tails had departed Mr..
~ was pusy AT the telephohe ior some
time, calling up the twelve guests who
had, through trickery. been prevented from
coming to the party. To each. in turn, he
told the whole story, and all declared that.
though the hour was late, they would dress
and present themselves In due time. And
20 they did. and soon the Pigs spacious
parlors were ringing with gaiety, CONVERSE
tion and music, for the Long Tails had
not succeeded In doing any harm except
TO themselves. But they would henoeforth
be ostracised In cOrneob. and they fully de-

Apostle

By Annette Shultz, Aged II Years, Council
Bluffs. Red Side.
Apostle was the name Of a little dog, but
he had worked hard for the name.
One day a ~woodcutter, who was of a
rough nature, was cutting down a tree.
He heard the howl Of a dog and the crash
of a tree. Turning around he saw a little
dog, crying because his mother was killed
by the falling tree. The woodcutter cared
for nothing and he paid no attention to
the little dog. He worked until dark and
then started home. The little dog followed
him, and the man, seeing it, kicked 1t and
threw stones at 1t until it was out of sight.
When he reached his cabin he made his
supper and ate. He then noticed the dog
on the porch. Then the woodcutter kicked
the dog, and seeing 1t would not go away
and thinking that he might nave some use
for IT, gave it somethink to eat.
A few years passed and the man became
a shepherd and had many sheep. The dog
watched over the sheep. One day the dog
came home barking as loud as he could.
The woodcutter got mad and scolded the
dog, but the dog would not stop and the
man made up his mind to so and see what
was the matter. The man followed the dog
until they came to a deep pit. There in the
pit lay a lamb which had fallen in. The

A Dangerous m

BY Edythe Kreitz, Aged IL Years, Lexing-
ton, Neb. Blue Side.
Baby Dorothy loved her morning bath.
Oh, how she crowed and kicked and
when mother put her into the
water. 1t was the happiest, jolliest minute
OF the whole day for the baby, and the
rest of them enjoyed 1t as much as she
did, for she was the pet Of the whole
household and the only child In II.
But one day Aunt Bertha came to make
a visit and brought Elsie with her, and
Elsie brought her dollies, one, two, three
of them. Elsie was a loving little cousin,
and let Baby Dorothy play with Flora,
Adeline and Jane as much as she wanted
to. But she explained TO baby that she
must not pull their hair nor take off their
dresses, and baby was very good about IT,
so good that Elsie was not afraid at all
to leave her dollies IN the nursery. One
morning after Baby Dorothy had had her
bath, mother was called away for a min.
ute. There was the bathtub, still fun Of
the nice soapy water, and there were the
three dollies who hadn't had a bath since
they came. baby was sure. 1t would be
nice to give them one right away, for they
needed one badly she thought. Baby tod
died over and brought Flora, Adeline and
Jane to the bath tub. Then she lifted
Flora high in the air. just the way mother
always lifted her, so as to give her a nice
dip right down into the water. Poor Floral
she couldn't scream. Neither could AIDE
line and Jane say a word to stop Baby
Dorothy.
Flora couldn't even shut her eyes. be-
cause she wasn't made that way, but Jane,
who was, closed her eyes light as she lay
helpless on the floor and listened for the
coming splash.
But it never came, for just then mother,
who had come in behind and saw what
was happening, picked Baby Dorothy and
Flora and all right up and away from the
bath tub.
Wasn't 1t fortunate she got there Just
in time? Flora hasn't quite gotten over
1t yet; she feeels cold al over every time
she looks at the empty bath tub and I
don't believe any of the three dollles
will feel quite safe till they get home
again, in Aunt Bertha's own house. where
there isn't any Baby Dorothy to crow and
splash in the mornings.

Jeans Adventure

BY Jeannetta Schroeder, Aged Il Years,
Tekamah, Neb. Blue Side.
Jean was sitting in the library reading
a book. Soon her mother called her TO
come downstairs and meet Mrs. Edwards.
Mamma" called Jean, II don't want
to; 1 am interested in this fairy book"
Her mother didn't call TO her again, but
would take the book away from her when
the company had gone. Soon Jean fell
asleep. She dreamed that a little fairy
came to her. He was dressed in a red silk
suit. He said, Would you like to come
to a fsiryland?' lean was very much
pleased, and they started at once. At the
gate they got into a carriage drawn by
two white horses and rode away. They
were there in a very short time. Soon
the ball commenced and they all began to
dance. Many OF them asked her, but they
danced so funny that she couldn't, for they
didn't dance like the people she had seen,
At last they had lunch. and in the midst
OF 1t her mother called, for the company
had gone. and she wanted her to go on
an errand for her, Her mother asked why
she had talked back to her when company
was there. Jean said, "Oh, mamma, I've
been in fairyland and all the little girls
there are so nice, and I'm never going to
talk back again"

crate to toss then into the fire. Just as
he was about to do so, his mother cried
out: Keep one Of them, son, and wen
erase the name and substitute our own
Instead. Then, to the surprise of the Pigses,
wen go to the party. And they are too
well-bred to deny us admittance. so wen
be at the party and many Of those ex-
pected viii be absent; and offended, too,
when they believe they have been
sighted"
Mother, you're a schemer for fair" de-

cards from the flames and, with his
mothers assistance, soon had 1t neatly ad-

he smiled wickedly. Now wen 20 in
great style to the party. Wen go late SO
that all the other guests-the few who are
lucky enough to get their l~nvitations-wiI
have already assembled. Then our host
and hostess cannot do anything except to

so the days flew on and the evening Of
the Pigs party came. The news of 1t had
reached the ears of those whose Invitations
had been destroyed by Bristles and his
wicked mother, and many marvelled at
having been so sighted, for some of those
who thought themselves excluded from the
Pigs party list were the Pigs very warm
est friends, and they could not explain
such a sight.
The twelve guests who had received
their invitation through Pinkey arrived at
the hour named, and half an hour later
the Long Tails rang the Pigs door bell.
Pinkey admitted them. did you tell your
mistress? p whispered BTtstles In the hall.
Pinkey shook her head, then said: "But
