HOW MARGARET FOUND HAPPINESS

Once upon time there lived in
a city far away from here little
girl who was very rich. Her name
was Margaret.
Her father was q merchant and
Margaret had her nurse who took
her out riding every day Poor lit
tie Margaret did not get to see her
mother very often. She went to
parties, dances. lawn-fetes and all
kinds of fine things, all the time.
Margaret got to see her mother on
ly once every month.
By and by Margaret lost all inter
est in her toys, her nurse and all
her dignified friends. Now what
do you think was the matter? She
was lonesome. She needed some
one to love her and tell her good
night after she had said her pray
ers, instead of cross old nurse
hurrying her OFF to bed.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-04-28

One night she had a dream. She
dreamed that fairy came to her
and told her to go to certain tree
and say,
"Hokas Pokas Locust tree,
Open your wide door for me-"
Then the fairy said that a door
would open and inside that door
Margaret would find the key Of
Happiness. And the fairy told Mar
garet in her dream that this tree
was in the woods by her home.
The next day Margaret slipped
away from her nurse and ran to
the woods to the tree which she
had seen in her dream, and when
she reached there she said,
"Hokas Pokas Locust tree.
Open your wide door for me-"
Immediately a little door in the
tree opened and there Margaret
saw a most beautiful golden box

HOW FRISKY LIVED
HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Once upon a time a little boy
about five years old had a cat
named Frisky. His name was
Frisky because he was always
frisking around so much. He stay
ed outdoors all the time; only at
meal time he would come in for
something to eat AS soon as he
would finish he would go out and
play some more till supper, then in
again and out again to play some
more. He would always play out at
night even on storm nights.
One night he was hurt by an auto
mobile when chasing another cat.
He made such howl that the
people in the automobile got out to
see what was the matter with him.
The people that owned the cat
screamed when they saw what had
happened. The automobile people
brought him. He was well a little
time after this and was able to play.
He stayed home the rest of his life
and never played out at night any
more He lived happy in the back
yard ever after.-Robert Thomas,
Alb Grade, Warner School

Margaret took out the box, and
then the tree closed up again. She
rubbed her eyes to see if she were
still dreaming, but no, there was
the box in her hand.
She sat down on the grass and
opened it. There inside the gold
en- box was a lovely pearl box, a
trifle smaller. She next opened
the pearl box and there, what do
you think she saw? She saw the
most beautiful diamond key that
eyes ever looked upon.
Margaret took it home and
showed it to her mother and father
and after that they all lived happi-
ly, because Margaret always wore
her little diamond key of happiness
around her neck, and her mother
and father really loved her.
And SO | think this key had a
very wonderful charm, don't you
think So, too? Grace Simcoke,

THE EASTER ROOSTER

Once upon time there was a
black and white rooster. He was
in store when papa saw him. He
got him for my Easter present.
When ! saw it | did not know what
to think Of 1t. 1t has yellow feet
and has yellow eyes and yellow

and he has red comb and there is
a little purple on his head. He has
four toes on each foot. am going

Boy Tries to Save Money

I met boy in the grocery, and
we talked about the school board
giving us the fly traps we made at
school if we paid seventeen cents
for the material. He said they
would let him have his for ten
cents if he furnished his own
screen. So he went down town and
bought the screen and that cost
him fifteen cents. So he had to
pay twenty-five cents for his fly
trap while ours only cost seven

a canary. She has a little dish
shaped like a bath tub. About
every other morning she puts it in

Last week Gaylard Jones (com.

rate all the way out to the patients
house. After delivering the pills of
various denominations to the UNI
willing victim, the occupants of the
heaving Lizzie returned to their
places as before, and started her
off. But-Lizzie got to acting
naughty. She became influenced
by the spring weather and zip
down the road she goes at 80 miles
per hour. She goes faster, faster,
Oh! there's pebble in the road
will she miss it? No, she stubbs

DOdo and Mel?
Hark.! We see them crawl out
from under the auto. Dodo has his
arm fractured. while Mel has sew
eral OF his Stats slit All that's left
of Lizzie is her name, reputation
and quite few pieces-yes quite
a few
So, my gentle readers, this is
merely to prove that not all the |
important events happen in Rich !

When the Palladium staff came

 At the beginning of the European war. Denmark called up 45,000 men in addition 10 the 12,5OO who are always under training This force was grad ually reduced ;o 25,OOO, and a further reduction of about 25 per cent has now been decided upon All the parties. except the Conservative group, have approved of the governments decision.

TELL 4 MAN WHERE HE IS GOOD

Why not devote little time ;o find- ing out the good qualities of those around you rather than to be forever watching for The flaws in their make up?
 Take the man whom you meet 30 often in a business way Instead of making SO much effort to locate his rrailities see if you cannot find 8ome good qualities which do not appear on he surface during the course of your business relations Many a man is cold and apparently hard in his busl- nesB dealings who is, below the crust as fine, good hearted 8 chap as walks in shoe leather
 If you gave one half as much time looking for the good qualities of those about you az you do Co locating the bad in them you might find that good. rather than bad, predomlnates In al- most every person you meet
 Perhaps you do not agree. Possibly you think that the average man Is pretty much to the bad all through Very well then; what are you doing to lessen the bad and make him better? lt'a all well enough to tinkle that old saw about being your brothers keeper. but tho fact ie that when you see a person going wrong and don't try to act him right you are doing wrong yourself
 Dogmas and creeds aside the fact remains that if we are put here for any good purposes at all surely one of ;he foremost Is to help our fellows. This view Is confirmed by the good philosophy of all the ages. And if you fail to make an effort toward les sening the bad in those around yau. you arc not fulfilling your duty. Us- nally the mean things that we gay of man or woman ultimately reach his or her ears And they are certainly not much of an incentive for him or her to do better Usually +heir eftoc: Is just the opposite; they leave d bit terness that rankles and is ultimately vented either on yourself or someons slss
