A Young Hero

Ben" called Ben's mother.
Yes, mother was heard from
| tho woodshed.
Bring some wood for the fire
while you are down there" said
Ben's mother.
While Ben was carrying bun
die of wood to the house, large
four story building caught on fire
and the boys and girls were yelling
at the top of their lungs.
When Ben heard them yell, he
dropped his wood and ran to the
building which was full of people
yelling for help, for the stairway
was full of smoke and they could
not get down them.
A large crowd was there. but
none was brave enough to try to
help the people.
Ben stood there no longer than
moment and then he dashed up
the smoky stairway into the first
room he came to and picked up
little girl and baby and ran into
the crowd and then after letting
somebody hold the children, he
made a second trip into another
room.
Then came the firemen who
came UP with him.
Ben had just gotten up the fourth
fight of stairs when he fell, for
he could no longer stand the smoke.
The firemen started to pick him
up. but Ben said in whisper,
Never mind me, go and save who
ever is In the other rooms"
The firemen seemed to take no
heed in what he had said, but
picked him up and carried him out
of the blazing building.
ooh! here is my brave little boy"
said the girl whom Ben had saved,
and she ran to him and kissed him
about hundred times.
Ben, who was beginning to real
ize what was happening, jumped to
his feet and ran home for the fire
was out then Ben was remem-
bered all the rest of his life

Mary's Easter Egg

Mary found a new laid egg with
shell as white as snow,
And as she held 1t in her hand,
that egg began to grow;
Until 1t was as big as any ostrich
egg you've ever seen.
And soon 1t was no longer white,
but yellow, pink and green;
And in one end a window came
through which wee Mary
gazed.
And oh! the wondrous things she
saw, her two eyes were
amazed.
She spied some chicks and ducks,
and children playing in the
grass.
And next she called her playmate
to peer through the magic
glass.
This magic change was all the
work OF Easter Bunny, see?
He's always up to Easter tricks.
that's plain as plain can be.

he Rose

There was once a poor woman,
who had two children. The young
est went every day in the forest to
fetch wood. Once. when he had
strayed far away looking for
branches, a little, but strong and
healthy child came to him and
helped him pick up wood, and car
ried the bundles up to the house.
And then in less than moment, 1t
was gone. The boy told his moth
err OF this, but she would not be-
lieye it. At last the boy brought
a rose, and told his mother that the
beautiful child had given 1t to him,
and had said that when the rose
was in full bloom, he would come
again. The mother put the rose in
water. One morning the child did
not get out of bed, and the mother
went to 1t, and found it dead. But
it lay looking quite happy and
pleased. And that morning the
rose was In full bloom.

Birds, Our Friends

Birds are found in groves, fields
and forests in warm and temperate
regions.
The body of the bird is soft, and
has two feet, two wings, and also
a tail and bill.
Birds build nests, lay eggs,
swallow food without chewing it,
fly to warmer countries; as the
weather changes SO do the Gus
toms of birds change.
Falcon, hawk and eagle are the
birds of prey. Toucan, cuckoo,
parrot and robin are birds that
climb. Robin, canary, and wren
are perchers, and guinea, turkey
and hen are schatchers. Partridge,
pigeon and heron are waders.
About ten thousand kinds of
birds are divided into birds Of prey,
runners, climbers, waders, swim
mers, perchers, and scrotchers.
Robin, canary, bluejay, pigeon,
and eagle are well known birds.
In the summer birds eat insects,
bugs and food.
They build their nests about in
the middle of March, the eagle
builds its nest on high cliffs and
under caves of houses.
They make them Of leaves, straw,
wood and hay.
The swimmers are ducks.

Once upon time there was a
king named King George. He
lived in a beautiful palace trimmed
in gold. He had all he wished. but
yet he wanted more. At last he
heard about another king. and he
also heard that the other kings

started a war and got beaten. So

The most expert means of counter
feiting American greenbacks has been
discovered by the state police i'm the
Adirondacks lumber camps, where $40.
$50 and 500 notes were being dupli-
Gated. Banking experts have pro-
nounced them the most clever counter
feits, in existence.
The information now in the hands
Of the state police is to be turned over
to the United States department Of jus
tice. The secret of the device is q ma
chine which is capable Of splitting the
thin note paper on which American
notes are engraved and permitting the
face and back OF the note to be
stripped from each other. waxed pa
per is then laid over each half of the
note and solution applied to trans
fer enough of the original ink to the
waxed paper to make an exact dupli-
cate of the note. The waxed sections
to which the ink has been transferred
are then pasted to the opposite half
OF the good note and In this way two
bank notes exactly alike are produced.

MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN ISLE
Idea That the cnomes Have Die

Altogether Erroneous.

There still are fairies In Ireland, de-

this statement will be really news. or
course. anyone who has never taken
any Interest I'm the matter Mt all knows
that In the days gone by there were

But II has been the general belief
that the fairies themselves long ago.
In one fashion or another. had for
saken or been driven from their se-
cret places, the last hegira being
placed NJ as modern a period as the
middle Of the nineteenth century--the
night OF the big wind. In fact when
they were all supposed 20 have been
blown into the sea with the exception
OF few that landed in Scotland.
d The error OF that belief. however,
has been scientifically ascertained In
series OF investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, II. II. A. l.,
for q decade or so. ......."
'The belief is general" Miss An
drews says. that these little people
were at one time very numerous
throughout the country, but have now
disappeared from many OF their for
mer haunts. At Ballynahinch was
told they had been blown away 80
years ago by great storm. and the
caretaker at Killevy said they had
gone TO Scotland. They are, however,
supposed still to inhabit the more re-
mote parts OF the country, and the old
people have many stories OF fairy vis-
itors and OF what happened in their
own youth and I'm the time OF their
fathers and grandfathers."
