the champion of humanity-as the
friend of the weak and distressed;
in the singleness, dignity and invio-

the validity of our national tradi-

friendship with all nations that re-

liances with none; in reasonable
preparations for national defense by
sea and land; in Sinking no sacri-
fee needed to hand down to the flu
ture the priceless treasures be-
queathed to US by the past; in the
necessity of keeping the western
hemisphere free from the intrusions
of European institutions and ambi-

ion that he is of much consequence
as a political asset. In their estima-
tjon he. IS yet z great and good man,
rejecting his personal attributes
from his past career. but his sun OF

Foolish Jocko.

BY Lallian Pokorny Aged 10 Years,
Clarkson, Neb. Red Side.
Jocko was a bright monkey. II was
given to George and May. It could do
many tricks. George and May were very
fond of it. It could chatter in the most
curious ways II would climb the fences
and 20 into the neighbors' gardens. Best
OF all, it liked to get into the chicken
yard and pull the hens feathers.
Georges father bought an iron ball
and tied it to jocko's leg by a chain.
Joeko did not like the iron ball. When
it tried to climb the fence the ball would
pull It down. The chickens in the
chicken-yard had peace
In the yard was an old well that was
not used. The children always uncov-
cred the we'll and threw stones into the
water They liked 10 hear the splash.
Jocko liked to watch them at their play
ana liked TO try It itself.
One day the well was left uncovered.
Jocko wanted to throw the ball In the
we'll II came close and leaned over.
Then Il rolled the ball close to the edge
OF the well. II gave a push. A great
splash was heard and this was the sad
end OF Jocko.

Life of a Fisherman.

BY Henrietta Lentz, Aged u Years,
II. F. d. l, Sothenburg, Neb. Blue Side.
How many of the Busy Bees have ever
thought of the life of a fisherman
When the sea is calm and the fish
plentiful, his life Is easy, but when the
cold storms come and the little fishing
smack is half covered with ice and sleet
the fisherman has a hard life
He must live upon the coarsest food
no table neatly spread with linen, dainty
dishes and cut glass, but a tin cup, a
tin plate and very few or no Injuries
at all.
When the winter is severe he often
spends his time carving buttons and many
ornaments from the shells he gathers up
on the shore and so helps out a scanty
income.
Sometimes while he may be quite
distance out on the water, severe storms
come up and the small smack perishes
and all other fishermen drown that are
On board.
There might be more than one fish that
some of the Busy Bees have eaten while
the fisherman was in great danger pull
ing the nets during a heavy storm.
L wish that every Busy Bee would
think of the fisherman when he eats fish.
This is the first time have written
to this happy page and 1 wish to join
the Blue Side l expect to enter the
ninth grade next fall.
