to where the apples were. half
covered by the broken pieces of
the car.
While feasting on these the horse
felt hand laid on his name, and
on looking around to see who it
was, he heard Pete, the man who
had been sent to take care Of them,
say:
by all that is merciful, how did
you and Billy escape from being
blowed to smithereens? thought
yes were both flying around the
dog star by now. But it's mighty
glad / am to find yes both alive,

both and | wouldn't "a had any
thing happen to yes for worlds

Pete led Star off, and finding a
piece of rope, tied him to a tree,
to wait until another train was sent
to carry them on, while he sat down
and commenced to smoke, too lazy
to help clear away the wreckage.
He let Billy roam at will, for he
knew he would not go far from the
horse, they were such good friends.

ELLEN TERRY

ELLEN. dear, here is your go.cart.
Go on the stage now and push it,
as you did in the rehearsal this
morning."
Ellen Terry's mother and father
were playing in Charles Kean's
show and eight-year-old Ellen was
to take the part of the boy
Mamillius.
Accidents will happen, even on
the stage, and one happened to
Ellen that evening. She pushed the
cart with so much vigor, that she
tripped over the handle and went
sprawling on the floor. A litter
went through the audience poor
little Ellen thought her career as
an actress was ruined.
This childish mishap did not pre-.
vent Ellen Terry from becoming
one Of Englands leading actresses.

OUR HIKE

We are going on a hike
Up the Greens Fork Pike,
Some real warm day,
The Teacher says we may.
When the teacher says we may
It's like a sunshiny day,
For we're going on hike
Up the Greens Fork Pike.
We're going to take pony
Just to carry our Bologna,
When we go on hike
Up the Greens Fork Pike.
I'll drive the Pony
For the Roads will be stony,
And I'll carry the Luncheon all the
way,
Some real warm day in the middle
of May.
Well cross the Creek
Where the water is deep,
For it is warm
As the day is at morn.
The Teacher will be scarey,
And will think she is Fairy,
AS we cross the Creek
On our hike up the Pike.

A HORRID TALE

The knight in Black, he swore in
his beard,
And muttered til the pages feared
'Twere best to relieve him Of
helmet and sword.
And order food on the creaking
board.
But when they approached, the
Knight cried out,
why come we forward? What are
We about?
Got" cried he, and out they went.
Each his own way on some errand
bent.
The knight in Black, he DOTTED his
clothes,
And betook himself to his couch to
doze;
No sooner had he touched his bed
Than he dreamed dreadful
dream of the dead;
Up before him a ghost arose,
Clad in white, with a crooked nose.
In one hand he held a dagger old,
In the other an ancient goblet of
gold.
"By which," cried he, "do you
choose to die?
"The goblet of poison or the dagger

The air turned from white to
smoky blue.
What happened next?-I'll leave
that to you.

When Billy Jr. left Star to look
at the wreck he came upon a sight
weird and appalling to the last de-
gree. The night was inky black,
while the flames, as they licked up
car after car. lit up the landscape
with red glare like some scene at
the theater; while fopa background
stood the tall, black mountains
silent and still, like sentinels
around camp fire. Running hither
and thither were men and women
trying to save their companions
from the burning train, and many
acts Of heroism were performed,
while lives were bravely risked to
save friend or stranger wedged in
between the broken seats Of the
smoking mass.
Billy waited only to take one LOOK
and then he ran back to tell Star
that he must get out as soon as
possible, as the flames were spread
ing fast In his direction.
While Star was kicking at his
partition with vehemence and Billy
was trying to help butt him loose,
there was a terrific explosion and
they felt themselves being hurled
through space. The car ahead of
them had contained some gasoline
and when the fire reached 1t, 1t
had exploded, blowing up the car
and the one next to it.
But, strange as 1t may seem,
neither Star nor Billy Jr. were hurt
seriously. Star got sprained
shoulder and Billy skinned leg,
that was all.
The wreck delayed them thirty
six hours, and while they were
waiting for the wrecking train to
come to their assistance, clear the
track. and put the engines on
again. Billy Jr. and Star had fine
time roaming around the noun
tains and rummaging among the

"Bread n Jelly"
Being a Tale Of Spuds, Whitley, and
Slice Of Bread m Jelly.
PART ii.

1t really wasn't much of fight
not a fight with fists, at least. 1t
was more of wrestling match.
Few blows were exchanged, and
then only when one of the two had
the other firmly gripped about the
neck with his arm, holding the op-
ponent's head in a convenient way.
The two lads were in such a posi-
ton, and Whitley was about to try
to poke his fist into Spuds' right
eye, when, to the dismay of Whitley
and much to the relief Of Spuds.
the latter's mother appeared at
the back door of the Barthelmew
home.
"Richard Barthelmew!" she
called.
At Richard" Whitley dropped his
fist. He looked sheepishly in
Mrs. Barthelmew' direction. He
quaked. His arm loosened about
Spuds' neck, and Spuds regained
his balance.
Spuds was just as surprised as
Whitley to hear his mothers voice.
but he kept his surprise under con-
troll. He did not turn in her direc-
ton, but glared hard at poor
Whitley who was now edging slowly
toward the gate to make his exit
from the Barthelmew premises.
See. now, what you've gone n
done?" said Spuds. fixing all guilt
to Whitley. Gone n got me into
trouble, that's what. What va
goin' to do about it annahow, huh?"
The tears began to spring from
Spuds' eyes.
"A-w-w!" replied Whitley. and
with quick dive he dashed
through the gate and hied himself
swiftly up the alley.
BY this time Mrs. Barthelmew
had arrived on the scene of con
flict.
Richard Bartholomew"
Richard turned. On his face
streaming with tears now, was the
most angel-like expression Spuds
himself knew he had assumed since
the Fourth of July before when his
father had accused him of tying
batch of baby fire crackers to the
cats tail and setting them off.
"Yes'm,' gulped Spuds.
A feeling of pity surged through
Mrs. Barthelmew as she saw the
tears streaming down her sons
face and listened to his broken
voice. She laid her hand on his
shoulder.
What has that boy been doing
to you?" she asked tenderly.
Spuds didn't like that. Why, gee
whiz, he had done as much to
Whitley as Whitley had done to him,
hadn't he? But he let that little
matter pass by lightly-he had
more important things to take care
of.
ooh, nothing, mother"-Spuds'
voice was sweet and quite in keep
ing with his facial expression. I'VE
were JUS havin' a little fun"
"A little fun-why. dear child.

At that Spuds broke down. New
tears rushed into his eyes.
1t was a pItiful scene, to be sure,
and the results were just what
Spuds wanted. He won his moth.

lated from beginning to. end-how
Whitley had come boldly into the
yard and snatChed the slices OF
bread and jelly and peanut butter
from Spuds' hands, and how
Whitley had then attacked SpudS
himself. He ended up with An
I'm agoin' to get even with him,

Now, sweetheart" said Mrs.
Barthelmew, Just forget about it.
You mustn't fight any more. Just
come in the house with me, and
mother'll give you another slice OF
bread and jelly. Let that nasty
boy have the other slice if he wants
it. Come, dear" Together they
walked into the house.
"Ah," thought Spuds, as they
passed through the back door, "ah.
how easy it was to straighten that
affair out" He chuckled merrily
within.
He had put something over on
his ma. Mentally he patted him
self on the back. Great work.
In the house Mrs. Barthelmew.
trusting in her dear sons story of
the fight, busted herself for a mo-
ment, preparing another slice of
bread. At Spuds' suggestion she
added a dill picklc--a nice. big,
juicy dill pickle-to the slice of
bread and jelly and with these two
bits of food in his hands. Spuds
once more stepped out over the
back porch and down the stairs.
A quick survey Of the surround
ing territory revealed Whitley
standing in the alley about half
block away shying pebbles at a
weather-cock on the top of old
lady Russell's barn.
For a few moments Spuds wan
dered aimlessly about the yard.
picking up little pieces of paper
scattered about here and there. All
the while he kept a watchful eye OH
the open back door of his home.
through which he could see his
mother in the kitchen hurrying TO
and fro.
Then Spuds noticed his mother
leave the kitchen. Suddenly for
getting the scraps of paper he
dashed for the back yard gate.
Arrived there he glanced ner
vously along the ledge. Yep, they
were still there. quite undisturbed
by the battle that had taken place
right before their crusts. SO SpudS
grabbed them up--the half eaten
slice of bread spread with peanut
butter, and the slice spread with
jelly. Crowdinc the three into one
hand and holding the dill pickle
tightly in the other, he dashed up
the alley toward Whitley.
He stopped about ten feet from
the boy.
Hey. Whitley" cautiously called
Spuds.
Whitley turned Now. what do

jelly" answered Spuds,
Whitey's face cleared quickly,
He threw down his pebbles and
hurled UP to Spuds. rubbing his
hands eagerly on his trousers legs.
Sure. Mike" said he as he
grabbed for one of the slices.
And SO that is how piece of

FOR sALE-LIvEsTock
MIR. DAIRYMAN

We think We want show herd of dairy COWS all just alike with spots in a certain place and pedigree papers enough to wrap them up in. Which we agree would be lovely and if we had the money to buy such a herd and to fix the necessary stalls and concrete floors and the kind of feed that it's absolutely necessary to keep that kind of cattle we would not want a dairy ranch. The writer has the greatest respect for the above pie ture and would like very much to see it here, but that takes us back to s1.50 a pound for cotton which is impos- sibIe. Let us get back to common sense and grade of cattle than we can pasture on the kind of feed that we have and where we can back them up in the fence corner and milk them and phone our creamery what corner of the field we milked in last This may not sound good to the fellow who stands on the corner and talks about what we should have in the Valley, but we have hundreds of good dairy men here with families; we have thousands of acres of land here that would pas ture cattle without extra expense only water. Now let us get back to earth and buy cows of good butter and fat qualities regardless of color or kind, which will cost about s125.00 each :. As they get old and can not serve us longer as a milk cow the butcher can use her without much loss. The only way to have our dreams come true IS to get us a meal ticket and pure bred bull and raise us a show herd.

PAVING WORK
3 ! !. MAY Be DONE
g Is &. Conditions Warrant it,
improvements May Be
Made in City This Year.

While no definite plans are being
made. Grand Forks city officials are
~an0tncially considering the question Of
paving various streets during the
$sprdng ahdssummer. The question of
completing the ha~rd-surfaced road to
thasssatates mill and elevator and the
Northern Packing ~con.pany's plant
also il being considered.
II conditions warrant it. there may
be much Improvement work done
during the year, 1t was said today.
Prices must be considerably lower
than they were last year however.
Paving districts were established in
the9south and north ends last summer
and bids were advertised for. but the
proposals were so exorbitant thai all
bids were rejected and no paving was
laid. The program contemplated the
extension of the paving on Chestnut.
Walnut and Cottonwood streets in the
south end and OF Fourth. FifN and
Sixth streets in the north end.
City officials said today that steps
may be taken to do this work this
year. 1T is expected that labor will
be,much cheaper. they said, and if the
price Of materials drops, it may be
possible to do the work. By making
one contract for all the work, Off
Gals say they could get a better price.
It is hoped hat the road to the
packing plant can be completed this
year. 1t is a federal aid project and
Is to be a ~hard-surfaced road. State
highway officials also are interested
inlthe completion of this road.
