A Runaway.
BY Esther Carstens, Aged II Years

Route No. 2, Randolph, Neb.
Blue Side.
One Sunday morning last year my
eldest brother went to Randolph to
get my aunt and grandmother to come
and eat dinner with us.
When they were very near home,
one of the tugs unlocked and caught
in the wheel. 1t made a noise and
one of the horses, becoming fright
ened, started to run. Then all of the
hooks came off the double-tree and
the buggy stood still.
My younger brother saw the horses
running and called us. He ran out
and saw my aunt and brother coming
down the hill 1t was a very foggy
morning and we could barely see the
horses.
went up the hill to meet my
grandmother, who is old and feeble
and could not walk very well.
The horses ran to neighbors' and
when we saw them they were stand
ing by the barn. They were just 60
ing to run when a man caught one of
the horses.
Nobody was hurt.

find the baby wrapped in swaddling

Then a great many angels praised
God, saying, Glory to God in the

toward men,"
The angel told them where to find
the child and the shepherds went to
Bethlehem. The found the babe in a
stable. When the shepherds saw the
Christ child they looked in amaze
ment. Then the shepherds worshiped
the child and went back to their
hocks.

| In few words she explained what
she had heard: "The raiders intend
looting this car as it crosses on the
ferry. If you hurry" she continued
almost out OF breath, you can catch
them at their shack. ri stay with
the car and watch it cross the bay"
Webb agreed and started the police
for the shack. Marshall, who had
overheard everything, was delighted.
From his concealment he now
watched Helen carefully. She flung a
board across the rods of the car and
climbed in on the hazardous perch
thus contrived, so she could be con-
cealed and yet stay with the car.
With violent jerk as the slack was
taken up the train started toward the
ferry slip. This was Marshalps op-
portunity. Swinging down under the
car he stealthily worked his way

French artist and was born in Paris.
His paintings represents nature.
He also had fortune of his own
and so was able to paint anything he
wished. THE Arrival OF the Shep-

Not very far from Bethlehem, in a
field, some shepherds were watching
their sheep. While they were watch
ing them an angel came upon them.
They were frightened, but the angel
said to them. Fear not, for | bring

Here are two of the best pals in
the world, Bernice Etnyre Chandler
and her dog, Silk Hat Harry.
The two are inseparable. We
never see one without the other"
say the neighbors.
Bernice likes to teach her dog
tricks, and, indeed, he is most highly
educated animal on account of the
interest his mistress takes in him.
Sometimes Bernice wonders what
is iii her dogs thoughts. At times
like this, she writes such whimsical
verse aS,the following:
Me and My Dog.
My dog he looks at me and signs
Then he says, 1 wish there was a
dogs heaven way up in the skies
For when | dies, my pallbearers are
: goodbys,
But when you die, you're laid TO rest
! look at him and guess
He's just a little bit unacquainted

first Street, Omaha. Red Side.
Little Alice asked her usual ques-
ton, Mamma, why can't l have a
starr"
why, Alice" said her mother,
How would You be able to climb up
TO the sky and get one?"
81 do not know, Mamma" Alice con-
tinued to ask until her mother
thought she might satisfy her by CIV
ing her starhsh.
So she went up in the attic and got
starhsh out of trunk. When Alice
saw the star she was delighted, and
said mother, this star is white and
the stars up in the sky are gold"
That is right" said her mother.
Maybe the stars in the sky which
are so far away are white but they
look gold,' said Alice.
She did not know until long time
afterward that she had a starhsh.

Red Side.
In my last story | told how the
earth war formed. Now want to tell
how the mountains, rivers, lakes and
plains were made.
In the time of the earth's early
life, a great glacier formed in the
north and Travelled very, very, slowly
toward the south. The great weight
Of this ice scraped out deep hollows
and in some places smoothed the
earth's surface over. Besides this it
carried vast amounts of rocks that
were left when the glacier melted,
making mountains.
As the ice melted it ran down the
ravines making river beds. The great
est OF the hollow places were oceans.
This study is very interesting be-
cause traces Of this, giant glacier may
be found in our own state, Nebraska.
