We are in receipt of letter from
Congressman w. D. Jameson, who is
still in Washington, D. c., in which
he says he still has few packages of
garden and flower seeds which he
will be pleased to send out to anyone
wanting them. So if you want any
free government seeds for your veg
etable or flower garden, all you have
to do is to write to Congressman w.
D. Jameson at Washington, D. c.,
and he will send them to you.

to start to Greenwood cemetery. Pretty
soon the family Of four were speeding
along the broad county road leading to the
cemetery, Mrs. Agnew, Peggy and Willy
holding on their laps and in their arms
great quantities of flowers. And on going
through the cemetery they found many
graves which had been forgotten in so far
as they were undecorated with flowers,
The four Agnews busted themselves plac-
ing wreathes and bouquets on those lonely
little spots. and once Mrs. Agnew was
seen to put her kerchief TO her eyes on a
babys grave. EITHER the dear mother is
no more, or Is too far away from her
baby's grave to come to II today" she
said. But II she's living, her heart is
heavy now, and she is thinking Of this
little spot. So for her sake-and for the
poor fathers sake-if he be living, too, we
decorate this baby's resting place"
Just as we-you and Twill decorate the
little sparrow's grave" whispered Willy 10
Peggy. It's mother doesn't know anything
about its being kllled-maybe. SO Wen
care for it in her place" "of course,
brother" agreed Peggy, mist coming over
her own pretty blue eyes.
Then, their work being done, the Agnews
returned to town. and Willy and Peggy
took their mother TO their room and showed
her the dead sparrow I'VE want TO give II
a decent funeral" said Peggy. And.

about some rose bushes, saw what was in
progress and DOTTED his cap and leaned on
his spade as the little party passed him
Where did you find all those flowers %
asked Mrs Agnew of Peggy.
why, mamma, you've given them TO me
from time to time to be used as models for
my paper flowers. And instead Of throw
ing them away, | stuck them In q box in
my closet. And being in need Of some
flowers today, and not able to get any real
sure-enough ones, I just remembered the
old artificial ones you had cast aside. And
I've been Strengthening them all up and
fixing the leaves. But they look lovely,
after ALL"
Indeed they do" said Mrs Agnew But
by this time they had reached the bird 5
grave and the little box was deposited.
After which Harry assisted Willy in filling
In the soil and rounding It up And Just
as they were done, there came the old
gardener, a rose-root in HIS hand. Say,
young master" he said. addressing Willy,
TN plant this one on the sparrow's grave.
And next Decoration day you'll have some
fine roses from it to take TO the cemetery
for the unknown graves"
"Oh, thank you. Perkins" said Mrs.
Agnew This is a splendid spot for a
rose bush. Yes, 1t will decorate brides
grave"
And Peggy reached up and kissed the old

A Robin.

BY Mildred r. Voigt, Aged II Years, Dav-
export, Neb. Red Side.
My name is Mrs. Robin. Would you like
TO see my nest? 1t is built in a large box
elder tree; in 1t are three pretty little blue
eggs, In few days there will be little
birds instead of the eggs.
Then when their little wings are strong
enough we will all fly away.
When winter comes all the birds of the
sky fly southwark. But one autumn sad
thing happened. 1 broke my wing and
could not fly and father bird was forced
to go alone. Just at the point of death 1
was picked up by little girl and carried
to her home, She then bound up my
broken wing and laid me in a basket by
the fire. She kept me all winter, my wing
growing better all the time.
When spring came she let me fly out
with the rest of the birds and that summer
every morning would come to her window
and sing her little song.

time to go, they were all to meet at
certain corner. Ida started and Dorothy
was already there. They waited and
waited and Carrie did not come, so they
both went down to her house and her
mother said she had gone, 30 they went
on out to the river. When they got about
half way out there they heard Carrie
trill and they looked back and Carrie was
coming, When she caught up with the
two girls, she said. THE reason l didn't
meet you at the corner was because l
went there and waited and waited and
you didn't come, so l came on out here"
BY that time they had reached the
river. They found a bed Of flowers, which
they picked and then looked for more,
but did not find any. They found a
small neck of land. which they called a
peninsular They each planted violet
plant on II. They afterwards called it the

One day many of my comrades and

some OF US began to soak into a littld

Then someone hung the dress out OF
doors on the line,
The wind and sun took us up to the

AS l happened to go by a window, 1

so l went in. She had a great many
plants in her window, but they were all
very dry. So l sat down on the driest
plant. Some OF my comrades followed me.
Then we moistened the plant In few
days there was a pretty flower on the
plant.
The little girl was very happy, when
she saw the flower. l was glad l had
helped the pretty flower to bloom.

mamma, we are going to buy some flowers
for its grave, IL you don't mind"
why, deaTie, you can't find single
blossom anywhere in town, now. AS papa
was passing the florists shop this morning
he stopped to speak to the keeper, Mr..
Bates, and was told that he had disposed
Of every cut flower, only potted plants now
remaining. So you couldn't find a cut
blossom anywhere. For a week after
Decoration day. you know, the town looks
bare of flowers"
But while Mrs. Agnew was speaking
Peggy had an idea But she kept 1t to her
self at the time. She and Willy found
pretty box in which they placed the littlo
sparrow, all wrapped in a bit of blue It's
sue paper Then the box was in turn wrap
ped in tissue paper and tied about with a
pink ribbon. over all was wrapped
heavy brown paper. Then the little cas-
ket," as the children called the box, was
placed on a foot stool in the parlor where
It should remain till their friends. the
Rogers children, arrived. Willy had al
ready phoned to Harry, explaining what
was TO take place in their grounds-behlnd
the garage, at o'clock. And Harry said
he and his sister Fanny would be dee
lighted to come"
At o'clock Willy took a spade from his
tool chest and went to the spot where the
burial was to take place. and quickly dug
a nice, square little hole about one foot
deep. Then he returned TO the house to
tell Peggy that everything was in readiness.
To his wonder. Peggy would not admit him
to their room, the door being locked from
within. Through the door she talked to
him. I'm very busy with some work,
Willy" she explained, and I can't allow
any one to come in just yet. Even mamma
came up few minutes ago, and I begged
her TO go away till called to her."
So Willy went below and busted himself
about the front yard till Harry and Fanny
arrived. which was just ten minutes before
o'clock. Then Mrs. Agnew Joined the
children on the front porch. Hasn't
Peggy come down yet2' she asked of
Willy. But before that young man could
reply they heard Peggy's voice on the
stairs.
Here I am" she called out. Then all
went TO the open hall door to look up the
stairs. And this is what they saw: Peggy
was coming slowly down the stairs, IN
her arms her big dolls carriage all decor
ated with artificial flowers, and an occa-
sional paper flower amongst them on
reaching the bottom the the stairs she ex-
claimed: Wen carry the casket in this
cab. Isn't It beautiful?"
Indeed It is" declared Mrs. Agnew,
while Willy and the Rogers children said:
"Au!" "Goodnessl" Isn't Il Erand7"
etc. Then the little box was brought from
the parlor and placed inside the doll car
