CHILDREN'S CORNER
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

TN A great factory in one of the
best known cities of the world
there once was a tiny piece of
paper. So little was it that you would
never guess it was to have a very
wonderful life. But it did. Listen
and will tell you all about it.
This tiny piece of paper, along with
thousands of other pieces just like il,
laid for weeks in a great case at one
end of the factory. 1t was very tire
some, So very tiresome, in fact, that
the tiny pieces grew very restless and
began to talk together.
"I'm so very disappointed" said one
piece. Il heard that if we were made
into paper at this certain factory we
would surely have wonderful adven-
tures."
Wonderful adventures, indeed"
said another piece. That's what l
heard, too; and here we stay, from
one weeks end to another, and not
one single thing happens
"I'm so disappointed" complained
another, Il do wish something would
happenP
Just at that very minute there was
p funny little squeak right inside the
case where the paper was kept. Very
well, the squeaky voice said, 'if you
want something to happen, am the
one to help you"
your exclaimed all the pieces OF
paper together, "who are you%
Il should think you'd know that"
laughed the squeaky voice. "I'm
mouse"
"A mousel" exclaimed the pieces Of
paper, well. how can a mouse help
us-we're paper"
Exactly sol" replied the mouse,
"that's why can help you. Now, you
all keep very still, and l will start
nibbling your edges. Then you viii
see what happensF
The pieces OF paper thought that a
very queer procedure. bat they decided
to keep still for a while at least and
see II the mouse could make anything
happen. SO they waited. And the
mouse nibbled.
He nibbled all night. Not until the
FIRST streaks of sunshine appeared
through the factory windows did he
stop and slip away TO rest.
And did anything happens Indeed
"a did-and quickly, too.
The factory Inspector came around
hat very morning, and the very first
thing he saw was the nibbled edges Of
she papers.

banded These papers have lain

here entirely too long, they must be
engraved and sent out"
The papers chuckled happily to
themselves, and wondered what would
happen next
They were not long in finding out.
The sheets were carefully sorted.
The ones with nibbled edges were de-
stroyed and the others on the case
were sent at once to the engraving
room.
There they were made into stamps.
And from there they were sent out
in great packages to postofhce in a
distant city.
There they were purchased by
man whose little daughter lived far,
far away in another city.
He took them home and put them
on a package of doll things he was
sending her for her birthday.
So the stamps went way across the
country-miles and miles and miles to
the little girls house.
Such interesting sights as they saw
on that journey you never could guess.
As they neared the end OF the trip,
one stamp said softly, II think we
have had our adventures, Just as we
wished; and I'm so happy"
I'VE are, too" said all the other
stamps, "and we mustn't forget the
little mouse. Just thinki He started
US on our way"

With tho dwelling house demand sK-
tending TO Wolf street on the south and

of the Glrard Estate operation, the great
est factor for the southeast section in
the near future will be the Pennsylvania
avenue bridge over the schuylkil River.
The approaches and roadway at the
western end are nearly completed.
Trolley cars by extending their routes
over the bridge will unite portion Of

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-03-15

The middle of March finds Wash
ingtn farmers in the midst of spring
work. usually begun a month later.
Seldom has there been so mild win
ter and so early a spring. However
it is still too early to congratulate
ourselves upon having no spring
frosts; but apparently spring is with
us. Dandelions have been blooming
by the wayside for two weeks past.
Crocuses and primroses have been in
bloom nearly as long. Sour cherry
trees are in full bloom and plums and
pears are beginning to show their
pink. The frosty nights of the past
two weeks have acted as safety check
upon too rapid progress, and there is
every promise of enormous fruit
crops. While the mild weather has
saved greatly in feed bi lis for stock,
and has been pleasant for the people,
it has some features which for the
farmer are not pleasant to look for
ward to. There is no question that
all kinds of fruit aid grain pests are
more abundant after mild winter
