bly, you wouldn't want to wait for me-
And then it was that Jack cried out that
he wouldn't run errsnds for that old
woman
But she has no boy OF her own to 80
on errands for her" said Charlie; and
as she is our nearest neighbor 1t is natural
that she should ask me to oblige her oc-
caslonally. And l am only too glad to be
OF service to her. Why, when mamma was
SO sick last fall Mrs. Richards came to
our house every day and did ever so many
nice things for mamma and for us Kids,
too She brought doughnuts and fudge to
US regularly, for she knew that mamma
always made them for us when she was

"Oh, you're like a girl" grinned Jack,
LAS for the old lady doing nice things FOR
your mother and for you lIids-why, that's
the duty OF a neighbor. Mamma is always
doing nice things for her neighbors, and
they in turn do nice things for her. But
| don't feel called upon to run errands for
any Of them. Let them call a messenger
boy and pay him for his work, say l"
But that would be unsatisfactory de-
clared Charlie. Besides, a messenger boy
can't always be had, and he charges like
everything for doing the smallest errand
Nope, I'm going to run errands for Mrs
Richards, just as | should want a neigh
boris boy to run them for my mother in
case she hadn't me to do it for her And
must hurry. along, for Mrs. Richards is
in need Of some things for luncheon"
Does she give you anything for you

offered to pay me. but | couldn't think OF
taking anything from her, l don't rur

How the Schoolhouse Was Moved,

BY Florence Brugger Aged 9 Years Ninth
and Fulton Streets Columbus,
Neh. Blue Side
When my mother was a little girl she
lived in the country. She went to a country
school that was near a river. Later, when all
those children were grown up there were
none to go to school from this side Of the
track; the little children had to walk to
school from the other side.
The people wanted the school board to
move the school house. Every year the
school board put 1t off.
One spring the river overflowed and
picked the school house up and took It
across the track,
