The Reward.

BY Luella GibSOn, Aged Is Years,
Dodge, Neb. Blue Side.
As l have not written to this page
for some time will write story en-
titled "The Reward"
Once there was a woman who lived
in a small village. She was very old
and very, very poor. She did not
have any friends, for people would
not associate with her because she
was so poor.
She did not have any relative nearer
than Lincoln, which was located near
ly 200 miles from where she lived.
She had no money, so she could not
ride, and she did not have the correct
address, so she could not write.
She said TO herself, "The only thing
for me to do is to walk or stay here
and die of starvation" she felt that
she must reach the only one in the
world who was related to her. her
brother.
1t was with heavy heart that she
set off on her long walk the next
morning. In the daytime she begged
food at the houses and at night she
slept beside the road.
When she reached Lincoln she
looked up her brothers address in a
directory. Then she went to the door
Of his home and rang the bell. A
maid answered the cali and she asked
her for the man OF the house. The
maid showed her into the library
where her brother was reading.
When he saw his sister. whom he
had been separated from since the
war, he opened his arms and she ran
to him with a cry of relief. She
stayed with her brother and was
given a reward of $500 for having
walked the farthest of any woman
known. She and her brother lived
happily ever after.

Hunting Violets.

By John Engel, Aged IL Years, Nc
Clelland, la. Red Side.
Every spring Our school goes out
along the creek to look for violets.
We generally get more than we can
handle, too. Last year we put them
in a box and sent them to a sick
girl in our neighborhood, who is dead
now.
We start at noon and go long
ways, first one way and then an
other. At first we did not find very
many, but suddenly one of the chill
dren found the biggest patch / have
ever seen. l think we stepped on
more than we picked, for there were
so many. .
Then we went on until we came to
a little bridge, which we crossed, and
then hunted on the other side until
we came to the bridge a little ways
from our house.
Two of the girls got some water
for US to drink and we found not only
violets, bur-other flowers and nest
of snakes and turtle. How the girls
did run when they saw the snakes.
We could not get them TO go near
there for a while again. l hope we
go this spring. too.

Vanity.

By Helen Crabb, 4Ol6 North Thirty
fourth Avenue, Aged 10, Omaha,
Neb. Red Side.
Once upon a time there lived a
little girl who was very pretty. Her
mamma dressed her very nicely and
kept her hair in long curls. This little
girl was told that she was pretty and
so became very vain. Her mamma
helped to spoil her by not making
her mind and always praising her be-
fore people in her presence.
She was given everything she
wanted or she would cry and pout
until she got it. Soon che asked for
things her mamma knew she should
not have, but since she had always
had her way, she was able to do as
she pleased and get what she wanted.
As she grew older her mamma
wanted to teach her to bake and to
other housework, but she would not
learn.
At last she was married, and as she
cid not know how to manage and to

Omaha, Blue Side.
: One day 2-year-old child was play
ing with matches. He lit one and the
house caught on fire. A neighbor
called the fire department.
When everyone was out Of the
house, except the little child which
the fremen had not seen, he looked
out of the window and cried, NAM
NAL Mammal
Everybody called out in surprise,
HE will be burned to DEATH"
Just then a fireman started to climb
the ladder, but was driven back by

CARELESS USE OF
SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use
Is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (which is pure and grease
less), and is better than the most
expensive soap or anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t In. It
makes an abundance OF rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt. dandruff and ex-
cissive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and 1t leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage. o
You can get mulsified cocoanut
