A Beautiful Little Girl.

BY Ruth Scout, Age Is, kearney, Neb.
Once there was very beautiful
little girl. Her name was Inez. Her
hair was light and curly and her eyes
were blue, and her eyelashes were
very thick and long.
But people didn't like Inez, She
was very selfish and proud. When
ever people looked at her she didn't
seem beautiful, like she really was,
because she was so very bad-tem-
pered, and when Inez looked in
the looking glass she seemed so
ugly.
One day when she was out walk
Ing in the garden she dropped her
ring in the fountain. When she
leaned over to get it-splashl she
went in the water. She went down
and down until she came to little
door; she opened this and found
herself in 4 beautiful country where
flowers grew and birds sang all year
long. She met an old woman there,
who took Inez to live with her, and
she was to teach her the way to ap-
pear pretty.
After 1nez had been in this beau
tiful place for = long time she sud
denly grew homesick and asked the
nice old woman when she could go
home. The old lady said:
"Now, Inez, you can 60 home;
you have the lesson; you can be
pretty if your thoughts are beauti-
full and if you are not selfish or
proud"
Inez was very happy for while,
then she said:
How am l going to get homer"
Then the lady said:
Here is your ring. Turn it around
and wish to be home"
Inez did this and in an instant
she was back in the garden again.
All the people loved her after this
because Inez remembered the lesson
the old lady taught her.

The Quarrel.

Emma Kucera, Age Is, Miligan, Neb.
Dear Busy Bees: I would like to
tell you about two girls that we're
quarreling. They were quite small
children, and can easily be taught by
an Older brother or sister. These
children owned set of dishes, little
kindergarten chairs and table.
One time Frances came to visit
Lillian, and then Lillian goes out to
make dinner. While Lillian makes
dinner. Frances rocking herself on a
rocking chair says to the audience:
I'm glad l have some things nicer
than Lillian" And Lillian heard
what Frances said.
Lillian, holding her head very
high, said: IF | were as poor a

"A Sympathetic Bow"

BY Honor Cram. Age IL. Wslworths, Web. 7
Tim was a small boy who lived
with his cross stepmother. His step
mother was very fond of birds she
had in two cages; in one were two
canaries and the other two song
sters. Tim argued with his mother
why those birds should be kept in a
regular prison so long, but she only
scolded him. One day he decided to
turn them out, although he knew he
would be whipped. He turned them
out in the open air and they flew
away. His old stepmother whipped
him hard and wouldn't let him have
any supper. He never expected to
see them again. The next morning
they were all singing on the door
step. He opened the door and to
his great surprise they all had straws
in their mouths and flew to the cages
and commenced building their nests.
The stepmother let them build their
own nests and was very good to the
kind-hearted boy. The birds seemed
very happy.

like her very much. Here is my
poem:
Where the waves dash high
On the rocks against the sky;
So dash away above the rocks
The tide comes in so fierce;
They almost dash you off the shore.
The tide comes in again
So fierce they splash against the
shore,
Against the light house window
pane,
They will splash and dash no more
Until the tide comes in again.
Will there be a terrible wreck!
All the men say as they stand on
deck;
And after the storm everything was
quiet;
There's not trace left of that ter
rible riot.
And ali was calm as night.

however, this failed to have lasting ef-

The weather map this morning
showed an absence of rain in the belt,
except along the lower Atlantic coasts
and in Florida, while temperatures con-
tinued rather low. Some of the map
readers who predicted a spell of bad
weather still thought they could see
