What OF Mexieof

What the excursion of American
troops into the Mexican town Of
Juarez may result in remains to be
seen. Under agreements long existing
and practices long tolerated the
United States has frequently pursued
bandits across the international
boundary line. Usually such pursuits
have been made by small forces and

An Indian Legend

called to the poor man, This is
great thing that you have caught.
Better cut the line and, let 1t 60"
And the poor fisherman, so dis
heartened had he become in the
past that he was an easy subject to
follow his friends advice. cut the
line and watched the great alkaline
sink slowly.
Then other friends hurried to him
and cried, "Oh, why did you let it
go? You did very wrong thing"
Then he peered eagerly into the
sea and said, rs IT gone for good?
Maybe / can again catch the riches
that alkaline would have brought
me"
But the alkaline came not again
to his bait, and he cried and wall
ed futiiely at his loss Of riches.
On day he again went out to FISH
with his friends and neighbors, but
he had become so poor that he could
not secure bait. SO he cut a small
piece OF flesh frcfn his body and
soaked a sponge in the blood.
This he tied to his line and dropped
it over into the sea. His friends
laughed heartily at the queer action,
but he made no reply.
He felt a queer trenior over the
line and again found the hook caught
III something. He pulled it about un-
til it was freed, ard then it came in
slowly III obedience to his pulling.
This time he had caught the nest
of a fish called icque-n, which was
most valuable. He filled his canoe
with the fishes and called to him all
his friends canoes. and they, too,
were filled
Then he stood UP and said, The
alkaline has sent me, this nest be-
cause / let it go free. 1t will always
be my friend
And so it was. Wherever he went
fishing he caught great nests of fish
that were enough to supply all the
villages and towns for miles and
miles around. And he received all
kinds of skins for his fish, which
were so sweet and wholesome.
Moose, caribou, fox, bear and other
skins were his. and he sold them
for great riches and always had
enough to distribute TO his friends
and neighbors.

There was long town spread on
the seashore from which all the folk
went fishing for a living. Ths was
before the time when hooks were
made of fishbone. Their hooks were
made OF two pieces of spruce sharp
ened at the points and hardened in
fire. For lines they used slender
kelp stems.
At one end Of this town lived a
very poor fisherman who never
caught anything. While the others
caught many fine fish and he sat
still waiting for bite, they laughed
at him for his bad luck. But he new
er tnurmured. He continued trying,
day after day, and then one day
something happened.
He sat as usual and held his line,
never expecting to haul in thing,
when he felt a queer tremble run
along the line and communicate
itself to his hands. He drew on the
line, but it seemed to have caugh.
on a submerged rock. He moved it
every way to free it, and then it be-
gan slowly to rise >upon the water
His friends laughed as usual, say
ing, "Oh, he is playing he has caught
a fishl'
He said nothing TO this jeer, but
carefully brought his line and what
ever was caught ON the end to shore.
AS the great thing was brought
closer it was seen to be wonderful
large alkaline caught in the flesh. Its
colors shone so resplendently that
the people watching with amazement
reflected the beauty of its scales.

An Indian Girl.
BY Ethel Maddux. Age H. Omaha. N

by Ethel Maddux. Age Il. Omaha. Neb.
Once upon a time there lived lit
tie Indian girl named Merry Sun
shine. She lived on an Indian reser-
walton in Oklahoma. She never
went to school until she was about
years old. Then she started to
little missionary school which was
kept in log cabin by an American
girl. Merry Sunshine was very
bright in her studies and was soon
at the head Of all her classes. She
was liked by everyone and certainly
deserved~the name of Merry Sum
shine. She often thought of when
she should grow up and perhaps be
a teacher and teach little Indian
girls. Oh. if She could only be a
teacherl That was her dearest wish.
She finished all the grades in the
missionary school and graduated
when she was Ia.
When she was IS white woman,
who was visiting the reservation,
asked her what she would wish for
if she could have anything she want
Gu. NSIIy SuhsillHC ICpliCu tiidt ohC
would wish to finish her education.
The woman was interested in her,
and sent word to a woman's semi
nary to see if there was room for
another pupil. There was room and
the kind woman sent Merry Sunshine
to the seminary. So she got the edit
cation she wished for. She graduated
from the seminary with high hon
ors and returned to her home on the
reservation. There she got posi-
ton as teacher in the little log cab
in where she had once gone to
school She taught for about 2
years when war broke out between
her tribe of Indians and another
tribe on nearby reservation. Merry
Sunshine, risking much danger, went
to Boston and lectured to the white
people to help fer Indians. The
white people gave her money and
she used it to end the war. The war
was ended through her efforts, and
she went happily back to the reser-
walton where she was loved and hon.
ored by Indians and white people as
we'll.

A Soldier Without a Uniform.


By Cinderella Guthman. age 10, Plain
view, Neb
Jimmy was boy OF II years.
The family lived on farm three
miles from small city in Kansas.
One afternoon the family was 60
ing to drive to the depot to see the
train as it pulled through with the
soldiers on their way to camp and
see their uncle, who was also a sol
der.
Jimmy's two younger brothers
were picking flowers down by the
railroad track not far from the
farm. Jimmy started down the
track 10 get the children. Il was
about half a mile to the place where
the children were. He was about
half way there when, ahead OF him,
he saw man, This man was so
interested in his work he did not
hear Jimmy until the boy was a few
yards from him: he looked up and
appeared startled.
Hello" he said, II suppose you
know the government sent me to
see how these tracks were fixed
and examine the material. They
have thought of putting some new
tracks here" A piece about foot
long was taken out of one rail
Jimmy wondered why the man
should be breaking UP the track
when the train was to go over soon,
so he asked:
"Are the tracks going to be fixed
by this aiternoon?"
"Surely, my boy" said the man,
bu. the boy thought he saw an evil
smile, on his companions lips and
saw him look up and down the
track TO see if anyone was colnng:
He seemed anxious to get rid OF
the boy, and said:
"Will you get me something to
eat, pleasef"
Perhaps this man was a spy or
traitor, because he acted SO queerly
This was what Jimmy thought as he
walked home. He turned around
only to see the man watching him,
so the boy hid in the tall grass
around the bend of the track and
watched him. Jimmy saw from
here the man ran to nearby cave,
SO Jimmy ran and got his father
and other men. Together they
found many valuable papers in the
mans clothes, who later proved to
be spy. He had broken the tracks
so the train OF soldiers would be
delayed, hurt and probably killed
The tracks were fixed, and how
Jirnmy's uncle eheered and said:
"You have proved yourself a sol
der without uniform, and today
have done great service tor Uncle
Sam"

Queen of Hearts.

BY Gladys Mctiaffin. Age IL, 4ol south
Forty second street.
On very cold day in February,
in aSchool room sat Doriss and her
friends. All were ehattering as fast
as possible. Butt wasn't about the
valentine box and the pretty things
it contained,--but about new little
girl sitting in the further corner OF
the room looking very lonely in
deed. But when the teacher
brought in the valentine box every
one was alert and watching. Even
Alma, for that was the new girls
name To Alma's surprise, the first
big envelope to be handed out was
addressed to Miss Alma Lee" But
that wasn't all, her name was called
FIVE times and at each call she went
up, growing more delighted at ev-
cry step. That night Doris gave a
valentine party and Alma was there
dressed as Queen OF Hearts, and
everyone agreed with Dons that
Alma should have the prize for the
best costume, and she did look like
a real queen OF hearts.
