Nine years ago Miss Sarah Lindjey of

Mrs. Lunde was busy, bit it was the
rule of the Lunde home never to turn a

That was the last Miss LindIey heardof

Then She received a letter from a firm

aged farmer who bad lived near Melissa

tate was worth about $65, 900, the letter
said.

teary because they hadn't Thought
they were going to the circus. He had
dreamed of how they would follow
after him and would say:
"'Me, tooY
"And he would smile at them and
say, Yes, all Of your
ut was beautiful dream.
"Now there are many people who
dream Of doing something fine when
they have more money or when they're
grown up and who forget it when that
time comes.
'"They will excuse themselves by
saying, Yes, 1 have more money than
I used to have, but 1 find I need 1t
ALL instead of doing more than they
had been able to do before. There
are little boys who say, When I grow
up I'm going to see that poor children
get ice cream once in awhile But
when they grow up they forget and
they don't realize that there are lots
of children in hospitals and in homes
who very seldom receive visit from
the ice cream man.
"Now Jay Rial was different. He
remembered. When he grew up he
went into the circus business. He
was the one who would tell the news
papers in the different towns in ad-
vance when the circus was coming to
town so everyone could look forward
to it.
"And he remembered his circus
dream
$50 every year when the circus
came to the very biggest city they
visited, grown up Jay Rial arranged
that every child in every hospital or
home or any child who was crippled
and not as fortunate as other chill
dren should come to the circus free.
'"They arranged one afternoon when
no one could buy a ticket but when
every seat was free. And yet, that
wasn't enough for Jay Rial. When
the hospitals and homes sent in their
lists of the numbers Of children who
would be able to go to the circus the
lists grew so long that the place
wouldn't hold them all.
DO you suppose Jay Rial said,
Sorry, but we've room for no moreT
Not q bit of it. He had another cir
rus party for those who couldn't come
70 the first.
"And Jay Rails face was full of
smiles as he looked at the thousands
IF children who were shrielling with
ioy over the circus, and he said, My
lream has come true
But" ended Daddy, "Jay Rial Is
one of those people who help to make
ircams come true"

The literary history of the raven be-
gins with Noah and Elijah. Natural
lists call him 'the most wary, the most
amusing, the cleverest of BIRDS" He
has also been described as grave, dig
nified and sedate and many instances
have been given of the peculiarities of
this historical bird.
The bill Of the raven Is formidable
weapon-strong, stout, sharp at the
edges, curved toward the tip. 1t is his
one weapon of offense, but it answers
the purpose Of two or three. Like the
dirk of the oldtime plainsman, 1t Is
equally available as dagger or as a
carving knife. 1t can also be used as
a pair of pincers. 1t can kill rat at
one blow. The raven can drive it's beak
right through the spines of a hedgehog.
1t is said that the raven will never at
tack q man. If this be true, it Is, 1t
is thought, not so much from any de-
feet of courage as from the birds
keen intellectual perception Of what
will pay and what will not.
Like most of his tribe, the raven Is,
in the strictest sense of the word, ON
nivorous. His dietary ranges from "a
worm to a whale"
When his nest is built, as 1t general
ly is, beneath some overhanging rock
which quite conceals 1t from view from
above, it's position may sometimes be
discovered by the remains of rabbit
neatly laid in the short grass at the top
of the cliff in what might be called
his Harder" But larder implies an
amount Of economy and self-restraint
that it is not in the raven to practice.
In districts where food Is scarce the
ravens will attack without scruple a
newly born lamb or even a sheep that
has been cast.

THE CIRCUS DREAM.

" want to tell you the story this
evening"" said Daddy, "of little boy
named Jay Rial.
Jay Rial was as nice little boy as
anyone could ever hope to see. Every
one liked him and he liked people, too.
But the thing he loved above every
thing else in the world was the circus.
HE loved the sound Of the train
whistle which brought the circus to
town, and he loved the old circus
which used to travel by the road and
not come by the train at all. He loved
the circus band, the clowns the ami
mails. He loved the very tent itself,
the smell of peanuts, the rOars Of the
lions, the beautiful ladies who rode the
beautiful horses.
"He loved the performers, and every
time he went to circus he wished his
eyes were bigger so he could see more.
and he wished that circus people didn't
have to go to sleep at all.
"He used to follow the circus parade
as it came through the town and he
didn't mind If 1t was always late, for
he could go to the circus grounds with
some Of the other boys and see them
unpack, and maybe he could sometimes
help little, too!
"Once he had been allowed to stand
In the middle Of the sawdust-covered
ring when they were fixing up the tent
That had been great moment.
'"There was only one thing about
circus day which ever made him sad.
That was that sometimes people
couldn't afford to go to the circus. He
had been very lucky. He was always
able to do chores for his mother and
daddy around circus time and he
could make enough money for a ticket.
But there were some little boys and
girls who couldn't do that, or whose
mothers and daddies couldn't afford
to do that for them.

awarded to only one nurse of ma
ton each year. Thus these six women
represent Americas high roll of nurs-
ing since the outbreak of the Great
War In 1914. The Florence Nightin-
gale medal was established In 1912.
1t can be awarded "only to trained
nurses who may have especially dis
inguished themselves by great and
exceptional devotion to the sick and
wounded in peace or war;"
The Florence Nightingale medal is
well named. Florence Nightingale
(1820-1910) was the pioneer of trained
army nursing. She was an English
woman, born in Florence. She became
interested In nursing early and went
through courses Of training in France
and Germany. She then made a study
OF hospital methods In Europe. She
became the friend Of the ragged
schools and other similar institutions
Of London.
Opportunity knocked at her door in
the Crimean war. In 1854 reports Of
the awful conditions surrounding the
wounded and sick reached London
and she sailed for Scutari with staff
Of 80 volunteer nurses. There she
toiled until the British troops left the
town in 1855. Her nightly round of
the wards won for her from the SOL
diers the title Of LADY With the
Lamp" She not only nursed the sick
and wounded but started educational
classes and organized reading.
Fame rewarded her. Her country
made her a gift of $25OOOO. With
this she founded a training home for
nurses. Soon she became a general
adviser Of the civilized world in mat
tiers Of nursing and sanitary reform.
Her example and influence brought
about the organization of the Red
Cross society. She wrote "Notes on
Hospitals" (1859) and "Notes on
Nursing" (186O).
So the name Of Florence Nightin-
gale calls up a brave picture of wo-
manly devotion, made more valuable
by trained skill. The records of the
six American women honored with the
Florence Nightingale medal show that
they are worthy recipients of this
highly-prized decoration. The six
nurses are:
Helen Scott Hay, Washington, D. C.
Florence Merriam johnson, New
York City.
Martha NJ. Russell. Boulder, Colo.
Alma E. Forester, Chicago, III.
Linda X. Meirs, Boston, Mass.
Mary e. Gladwin, New York City.
All six of these nurses saw service
abroad. Following is a condensed
record Of their training and services:
