dog beside me was my mother. You
never know how you know your

with her long red tongue and it'felt
very warm and .ciean. Beside me
were three other small puppies, all
a golden brown in color, with sharp
noses and bright eyes.
The small curly-headed one, had a
white spot on its chest. l looked
down at myself and grew very
proud for there was, the same soft
white vest. We began to wriggle
around and crawl all over one an
other. Our funny tails were too

Knocking on Wood
By NoRAH ARCHIBALD SMITH

Whether the fairies wish thee we'll
Whether the fairies wish thee we'll.
A PRIMITIVE father lived in a wood,
"A With primitive daughter Of primitive mood,
And primitive wife, who attended the pair
And served them the choicest of primitive fare.
The primitive daughter fearful and shy.
And afraid of her life if a hare nestled by;
The primitive wife had no vaor at all y
And shivered and shook il nut CHANGED to fall
The father often away at the chase
Or running with danger obstacle race,
j. And dreaded loss in his primitive home,
If e'er in his absence peril should come,
He dreaded, she dreaded, they dreaded all three,
The sprtes of the air and the sprtes Of the seA,
The little gray gnomes that live down in the ground
And the gossamer elves that in flowers abound.
1t was only the fairies that lived in the trees,
Whose spells could protect them from evils like these
. And so, as they wendell their primitive ways
And threaded the wood in its devious mage,
They'd knock q tree and would timidly say
"Fairy fair, Fairy fair, wish thou me well;
'Gainst evil witcheries weave me a spelW
Then keen would they listen with primitive ear,
Their hearing made finer and sharper by fear;
And would the leaves make whispered repyi
Gear We not, mortals, harm shall come nighw
Thus primitive mother and primitive child
Protected themselves in the primitive wild,
And cen to this day is the practice made good

An Old Lady.

BY Mildred Demaray, Age II. Caldwell
Idaho.
Dear Busy Bees: This is my
J FIRST letter to you and wish to see it
in print. l will tell you about an
old woman.
Once upon time, long ago. there
lived an old woman. She lived in
the edge of the woods: nobody lived
near her; she lived about 10 miles
from town. She was garden
maker. She made enough to supply
the town near her. She lad but one
horse and buggy, one pig, one cat
and dog. Her house was nothing
but a two-room shack, but she was
always happy. Every week in the
summer she took her buggy full of
vegetables, distributing them all
over town.. She made about $50
every week, so it soon counted up.
Along toward fall she would begin
to fill her cellar with vegetables till
she thought she had enough. Then
she would start selling them again.
She has been selling vegetables for
about 20 years.
One day as she was hard at work
she thought she would go in the
house and count her money, SO she
went in. She counted her money.
No one could guess HON much she
had. She had $6,2l0 saved up. Myl
but that was a large sum. That
very year she stopped gardening
and went to town to live. She
bought a house and lot for $500.
This old woman lived happy ever
after.
