Stories by Our Little Folks


Alice Brees, Age IL. Plainvew. Neb
Crane and her mother were
French people. Frame and her
mother believed Frames father had
been lost in storm that began al
ter he set sail from small town
on the Seine river, as he had never
come back to them. Erne and her
mother were very poor since then
and they had to take in washing
and do many little jobs, they could
pick up.
One day, as they were down to
the shore washing clothes one piece
hoated away and Erne ran after it.
1t foated down rapids and under
bridges, once it went under bridge
and staid so long she thought it
might come out on the other side
AS she was over the bridge she
met a man with bronzed face, and
kindly he called her tots" the
name her father called her when a
baby. He had the bright red gar
ment looking like the one she was
looking for. What had convinced
him was his girl. 1t was the dress
he. had made for her when a baby.
Erne then knew her father and so
she took him to her mother. Her
father had made good money
Frames mother never after that
took in washings. Her father took
them to live in grand house in
Paris.

open, and put the fasteners through

The Dance
By Helen Hay nj. ley

Like little, eager children
The tiptoe tulips stand.
Row upon row of dancing heads
In joyous saraband.
With 1.-THE. lone emerald pettieoats,
And happy hands tossed up,
The sunshine is the laughter
That brims their golden cup

How Betty Became a Singer.

Opal Jenkins. Age .. Wilsonville. Neb.
Dear Busy Bees: Once upon a
time there was little girl named
Betty Johnson. She was a good
singer, but she could not take les
sons because her mother was poor
and just earned enough to keep her
self and Betty. Her mother felt
very bad because she couldn't so
she tried to save her money SO she
could take lessons.
One day while Betty was out
playing she thought she would
count her money. She found she
had II dollars. Now she felt that
Betty could take lessons. Then she
called her in and told her. Betty
was very happy now, and she be-
came the greatest singer in Fair
Port.

The Lost Child

Mary Reddon, Age 10, Blue HILL Neb,
There was once little girl whose
name was Bessie. One day Bessie
went out into the woods to pick
berries. The sun was shining bright
and she was happy. Bessie did not
think how far she was going, or
how late it was getting, SO she went
far out into the woods
The moon was shining and the
stars came out. Bessie grew tired,
so she lay down on the grass and
went to sleep.
Her mother and father went out
doors looking for the lost child.
Soon morning came and Bessie
woke up. She did not know which
way to go. She turned around and
went toward home. After she had
walked about a mile. she met her
mother and father. They were all
happy and Bessie promised never to
go into the woods alone again.
