Marie's Try Day.

BY Katie Wenot, Age u Years 1903 North
Seventeenth Street, South Omaha, Neb.
Red Side.
There was a little girl named Marie who
had much to, grumble about She always
got up late in the morning and was very
cross. Her father was cross at the break
fast table and the nurse was cross during
the day.
one day she said to herself, q will try
and see II / can get along with every body
today.
She got up early and was dressed be-
fore time to go to breakfast, so she sat
a. her desk and wrote a letter to her
friend. Her mother was surprised 20 see
her up so soon. Her papa was reading
when she came into the library and in
stead Of telling her TO go away he took
her on his lap and told her Of a hero in
a war.
Her mother made her doll dress which
she promised when she had time. Marie
busted the rooms TO help her mother so
she could finish her doll dress. She took
care OF her little brother John while the
nurse went down town to do some shop
ping She did not like to do this but said
all right.
When the nurse came from shopping she
came and told Marie that she was invited
10 her friends house for supper. She told
her TO take her doll with her
The day ended very happily and Marie
said she was going to call this her Try

there few days and Mr.. Lake laugh
ingly looked at Flossy and chucked her
under the chin. Then, as Tommy advanced
to him he picked up Flossys hat from the
ground and put it on her head.
Tommy, whose honesty and cOol-headed-
ness was recognized by all who knew him
and by the Brown Brothers in particu-
lar (for which they held him in very high
esteem) gave his story as he knew 1t. lie
explained that old Alexander had been
driven too hard" by Mr.. Kingston and
that he had borne the whip till at last he
had resented the punishment. Then he had
taken his revenge, or words to that effect
After Tommy's statement, given in a
straightforward manner, Mr.. Lake turned
10 the trainer: Kingston, you've been too
severe on old Alexander. The animal has
done good service for many, many years.
Like people. he gets worn out, and must
be humored. Do you understand

out his limp and swollen wrist. " ! reckon.

whip should be used more as menace
than as a punishment Go on, Kingston
And Mr. Lake waved the suffering man
away.
Then turning to Tommy he said: y like

Exciting Moment for Tommy and Flossy

His eyes fell upon the golden-haired little
Flossy, who. having become too fright
ened to run in obedience TO the trainer >
excited order, stood with hands tightly
clasped, watching intently the mad ele-
plants strange conduct Alexander the
Great threw out his trunk and in another
second had the fragile form Of Flossy
wrapped In It to the tightness Of suffoca-
ton. The child could not scream. She
could not even draw in breath. She closed
her pretty blue eyes fearing that she was
to be thrown into the air, from where she
would fall to her death.
The suspense lasted a long time for poor
little Flossy. but only for the briefest pos
sible time by the clock Hardly had Alex
ander the Great caught the child in his
trunk when into the yard rushed Tommy.
From a short distance he had seen the en-
ragged elephant toss the keeper into the
hay. from which the injured fellow was
now trying TO extricate himself, And with
all speed Tommy had made a dash for
the lot to try TO calm the the ruffled tenn
per OF Alexander. IL was just at the mo-
ment when he was jumping over the ropes
that the beast caught up the frightened
FIossy In another instant and Just as
Alexander was gathering force 10 toss
his burden into the air above his
big head Tommy had slapped his huge
knees. and was saying gently to him bur
forcibly: Come, Alexander, come! Down

keep him in practice" as he explained
TO Flossy, who was standing near. the
overtaXed animal got into a rage and even
had the trainer a bit uneasy. Having
dealt with animals all his life, the fellow
understood how impossible II was to man
age an elephant once he became nfurl-
ated, and for once during his acquaint-
ance with old Alexander the Great the
trainer felt that he had pressed the beast
too far He cracked the iwhip about the
angry animals head, threatening him, az
was his way when training. but Alex
ander still ragged tossing his trunk about
wildly, and trumpetng loudly.
Get away-go beyond the ropes" cried
the trainer to Flossy for the little girl
had gone into the big lot with the trainer
that morning.
Hardly had he spoken when Alexander
caught him round the waist with his pow
erful trunk and held him quivering in the
air Then as II revengeful for the way
he had been treated, the angry beast tossed
his keeper into a farther end OF the lot on
a mound Of hay
Having rid himself Of the, domneering
trainer. old Alexander turned for fresh
prey his rage stin possessing him. 1t Is
possible that at that very moment he felt

whose name was Jenny. She had big brown
eyes and brown hair but she was very

She had no father, but lived in a little
old house with her mother. Jenuys mother
was very kind and good, but she was very
thin and seldom well.
one day as Jenny was walking along
the street she saw a man drop something.
So she ran 10 see what II was and found
II was a pocketbook with $40 inside She
did not run away and keep il. but ran 70
the man as fast as she could and said

book?"
