Shepherd Wins Race.
By Aksel Swanson, Age -, 1910 Gold
St, Omaha. Red Side.

by AKSel oWdnSOn, age ID, o9lu bOlG
St, Omaha Red Side.
One day while a poor shepherd boy
was tending his flock of sheep, he
said to himself, "We are very poor
and | only earn a few shillings a
week My father is dead and we can
hardly live on what | earn. SO, after
| am through with my work today
will go and shoot some game in that
forest"
After the boy had left his work
he went to the kings forest to get
some game. He did not know that
this was the kings forest, and he was
soon brought before the king.
The soldiers brought the poor,
frightened boy to the king. The boy
told him what he had done. The king
said he should race with his daugh-
ter in order to pay for the game he
had killed, and if he won the race the
king would also give him large sum
of money.
The princess boosted that she was
the swiftcst runner i'll the kingdom
The king was seated on a porch be-
fore the race course There was a
rope to keep the people out of the
way. Everything was ready. The
boy was used to running so, of course,
he won. He was very glad. The king
was ashamed of his daughter, and she
never boastcd after that.
The boy went home, where his
mother was awaiting him. After
that the boy never had to herd sheep
and they lived happily ever after, This
teaches us not to boast of what we
can do.

We had all been wishing it would
get colder so that the ice would
freeze down by the mill. One morn
ing it was real cold and there was
just about a half foot OF snow on the
ground, and it was still showing. Then
we knew that if the ice was good we
could 60 skating after school.
We went after school and when we
got home it was real dark. sup
posed it was about 8 o'clock.
Mamma and papa were gone and |
went in the house and, of course, went
straight for the kitchen to get some
thing to eat. When | was cutting
some bread papa and mamma returned
and asked me why did not set the
table for the whole family, and | said
I supposed they had had their supper,
! went to look at the clock and it was
only 6 O'Clock. was so surprised |
nearly fell over.
The next night we had skating
party and our whole room went. One
OF the girls fell and hurt her head,
and then our teacher fell and we were
so scared we did not even help her
up, but just stood and looked at her,
One OF the boys finally helped her up,
She was not hurt very much.
The skating has been just fine for
about a week, only yesterday it melt
ed some and it was not so very good

Santa Plays a Joke.

BY Margaret l.. Crosby Aged IA
Years. Sutherland, Neb. Blue Side.
1t was Christmas in very large
city, In inc certain house were three
children, two girls and boy. They
always thought that if they should
sit up and wait for Santa Claus they
would get many more toys.
This evening their parents had said
before retiring that they must go to
bed very early, because Santa might
not come if they didn't. But the chill
dren did not go TO bed, but said,
Mother does not know, she thinks
he won't come; but he will just the
same" So they waited very patiently
by the fireplace, but he didn't come.
When Santa drove up he saw these
bad children and said to himself. 81
will just turn back and this will play
a joke on the bad children" Then
as quick as a fash he turned and
was gone.
When the father and mother arose
next morning and found their children
up yet they were very angry and said
that they must go to bed and stay
until noon. This seemed hard, but
they had to do it.
At noon they got up and went
downstairs Just in time for dinner and
behold Santa had not even come yet
This made the children very sad.
Later they went over to see if their
little neighbor friends had received
any gifts or whether Santa had for
gotten them.
When they got there they saw
through the window the three chill
dren playing with the most beautiful
toys any one could look upon. The
children walked in to see the good
fortune that had befallen them.
The neighbor children cried, 20,
did you get as many beautiful toys
as WEI" The other children tearfully
said mo, he has forgotten us this
time" What! forgotten you? What
shame and you were so good, too"
Eyes, he did, and we waited all night
long for his coming" "Oh, | see"
said one of the neighbor children,
you should have gone to bed like we
did, very early. Then he would have
come, Your staying up must have
surely been the cause of his not
coming" Then" said the other chill
dren, I'VE shall know after this when
mother tells us to go to bed that we
must. We will go home and go to
bed early tonight" they said sadly.
Mother will perhaps forgive us"
When they went home their mother
had forgiven them gladly. They went
to bed very early, but Santa doesn't
come, you know, only on Christmas
eve. SO these children didn't get any
presents this year.

Edith and the Doughnuts.
By Florence Browitt, Age u, 1921
Filth Ave, Kearney, Neb. Red Side.
One fine day in autumn Edith
came running in and said, Mamma,
will you and auntie make some
doughnuts" Mamma said, yes" and
Tor her to run out and play till she
called her.
Out went Edith, full of excitement
She never even once asked for a
doughnut. But the doughnuts were
made and dinner was ready. Edith
was listening close for the call
Finally she heard someone call,
Edith" She ran to the house and
was ready for dinner when her
mother said, 1--WE will not have any
doughnuts for dinner" After dinner
Edith went out to play. Mamma and
aunty washed the dishes, cleaned the
house and were going to sit down
few minutes, when Edith came in.
Edith couldn't stand it any longer, so
in she went where her mother was,
and said, Mamma, can ! have two
doughnuts?" Mamma said, Eyes, and
only two" Now Edith meant to take
only two, but they were so good.
First she looked around for the
doughnut can. There it was over in
the corner. Edith reached in. took
two, then four more, and still four
more. At last the lid went on, and
Edith came in with two doughnuts in
her hands. Mamma said, did you
only take two?" Edith said, "Ye-ye-
yes" Now" said mamma, you can
go out and play for few minutes"
So Edith went.
1t was time for supper now. Nam
ma and aunty set the table. They had
doughnuts. They called Edith and
then they sat down for supper. When
it was time to pass the doughnuts
mamma passed them to Edith. Edith
said, 81 don't want any doughnuts."
They all looked at her so surprised.
Then Edith said, They don't taste
good" Every meal they passed the
doughnuts to Edith. 1t made her so
angry that she said, 81 never will cat
doughnuts."

in the ground and put some sticks in
it and put link over it. We boiled
some coffee, fried eggs and bacon, We
had bread and pickles, too. At last
we went on till it got bit dark. We
came TO little place we thought was
a town, so we drove in and stopped
at a store. We asked il it was a
town and were told it wasn't. 1t was
just place they called Odessa. We
asked how far it was to the next
town and were told seven miles, so
we started on. Finally we had a
puncture but we got to the next town
and stayed all night there. We made
207 miles that day.
The next day we made over go
