The Fox and the Crow.

BY Henry Mahlondorf. Aged 10 Years

One lovely summer day large flock OF
coal black crows were soaring through
the air. They were calling Cav, cav.
cav" to everyone they met. They had
not the least thought OF anything hap.
pening TO them. Nevertheless, there hap
pened to be n bunch of rough boys out
hunting, They were killing any kind OF
bird they saw without having any use
for them.
1t happened that they shot at this
bunch OF crows and wounded a large,
handsome one. They then went on their
way. leaving the poor thing lying suf-
fering on the ground for some animal to
feast upon.
soon a sly. old. greedy fox came run
ming along, looking for his dinner. To his
great delight, he found the poor wounded
crow. He sprang for 1t very suddenly
but this time his wisdom proved wrong
for the crow saw him and Jumped away
Just in time. After the fox had made
several attempts TO get the crow, a little
boy came by, soaring the fox away. The
boy took the crow home. The crow be-
came tame and It's wound healed and hs
stayed with the little boy who had saved
his life.

which followed was the deepest ever
known since the settlement of Nebraska
II was five feet on the level and IN

three days. Storm after storm followed
during the winter. As one writer OF that
time says: "A terribly cold winter sci

solid blocks OF ice all the days Of De-

settlers stories OF the "hard winter OF
