Story of Ny Cat.

North Thirty-fourth Avenue,
Omaha, Neb.. Red Side.
One day when we had just moved
into our new house gray and white
cat came to us. We fed it and let It
sleep in our basement for while.
One day it tried to get our bird and
mamma thought it best to keep it out
of doors, so the bird would be safe.
We felt very sorry for it, because
it had to sleep in a vacant house next
door, which had broken cellar win
dow. When it was not stormy it
would climb upon our front porch
and sleep under the caves.
Mamma said we should always be
kind to animals, because they have
feelings Just like children and grown
up people. Papa said that animals do
not think like we do, so if one of
them is hungry and sees something to
eat, it tries to get it, not meaning to
do wrong, because it does not know
any better unless it is trained.

We have several kinds of pets on
our farm and ! am going to tell you
about them. One is the cat. which
is gray and white. She seldom kills
a bird. but hunts the rats and mice.
The next is our dog. He is a yellow
shepherd and is very gentle. He will
speak for his food and catch bits
thrown to him. He will do anything
we tell him to do.
We also have several horses and
cattle. We have one horse we call
Daisy who will eat anything that
people will cat
We have six little calves that are
all red and one dark red COW of which
! am very fond.

scream and ran to pick him up. They
found his arm very much swollen.
Some of the other boys ran to the
school house and told Miss Scripture,
our teacher, that Charlie had hurt
his arm. She ran to him and found
that his arm had been broken. She
then took him to the school house,
put her wraps on and took him home.
The next day she asked US if it
wouldn't be nice to take up collec-
ton and get Charlie something and
we all said "Yes." We brought our

This February, on the twelfth day,
we again celebrate the birthday of
the great president, Lincoln, who,
when the war was waging between
the north and south, freed all the
negro slaves on the lst of January in
1868.
Lincoln was born in Kentucky on
February IL, 1909. When a small boy
he showed desire to become learned.
His education was very small, but the
few books he had he studied
thoroughly.
Lincoln was elected president in
November, 1860, and his term was
very hard. The great civil war ended
and Lee surrendered at Appomatox

Coasting.
By Robert McGaffin, Aged 9 Years,
David City, Neb,, Box 544,

NCu DUO
Near my home there is a large
pile of dirt which was thrown out
of the basement of our new high
school building. 1t makes fine hill
to coast on and the boys in the neigh
borhood very often take their sleds
there to coast. Some times we can
go as far as across the street.
Once when it had become worn off
we boys got buckets and shovels and
carried snow, putting it on the bare
places. We were going to put water
on it, but it was too late and we were
wet and cold.
The next morning it was fine. Wa
put board at the top and sled in
front and one at the back. We then
got on the board and went down. Il
was great sport.

Picking violets.

By Elsa Ohlsen, Aged IL Years,
David City, Ncb., Red Side.
One day my friends and l decided
to 90 violet picking. We took our
dinner and started walking along the
road for quite ways until we came
to track. where we found many
vioiets.
We soon came to grove of trees
and we had to go through pasture
before we could get to the spot. The
boy scouts had camped there and we
found table, chairs and kitchen
utensils. We followed the path they
had made that led to the creek, where
we found vine swing. After we had
been there a while we went to a
farm house because we wanted a
drink.
II was 5 o'clock, so we went back
to the grove and played for while.
1t was growing dark, so we started
for home. We saw sign that said,
ask Miles to David City"
There was a push car on the track,
so we thought we would get on and
we would get home sooner this way.
But we were afraid and started to
run. When we were at the edge of
town we met one OF the girls brother,
who was looking for us.
When ] got home it was 9 o'clock.
| don't think mother would like to
have me 60 violet picking again If
