GRETCHEN

Once there lived in Germany little

her father went to sell his yegeta-
bles.
One evening Gretchen asked her
mother if she might go with her faith

would do my lesson first" "oh" she
exclaimed, Il can do them when we
get home. Father says he viii be
back early" And slipping her sun
bonnet over her brown curls, she ran
off.
When they reached the city Crotch
en went off to look in shop windows
while her father sold his goods.
At last they started home, when
suddenly something went bang! and a
wheel came off. 1t was three hours
after when they were again started.
On reaching home she just had time
to eat a hasty supper and go to bed.
She slept later than usual and had
to run so as to not be late for school.
When she arrived at school she re-
membered her lessons were not done.
At 8 o'clock when she returned
home, she looked very down-hearted.
and as she met her mother at the gate
she handed her note. 1t was from
the teacher, saying that Gretchen did
not know her lessons Her mother
scolded her and she cried bitterly.
Then she looked up and said, "Ill
never go with father again unless my
lessons are done"
And she never did.

THE BoAsrFUL THRUSH.
4 (1H0EC9AcS4 (9EC4O4C

One day. 4 long, long time ago, a
thrush sat among the branches of a
tree singing with all his might. A
traveller, who happened to be the good
ST. Peter, was passing by, ard heed
ing the song of the bird, said
Good day, little thrush. you appear
to be very happy"
81 am happy, answered the thrush,
''for | make the summer. 1t is l who
make the flowers bloom, The grass
grow and the trees to BID. Watch the
world grow more beautiful as sing"
and he sang louder than ever.
What conceited little bird"
thought the good saint as he resumed
his journey, leaving the thrush alone
to continue his song.
Toward midday heavy storm
arose, and it began to rain and hail.
The flowers shriveled from the cold,
the grass turned brown and lifeless,
and the half-frozen thrush buried him
self in the dead leaves under the tree
to keep warm,
He next ulUIlliuS 81. ISLSl ACtuiA-
eG to the tree, and finding the bird I'M
der the leaves, he said:
Good day, little thrush, are you
still the wonderful creature who
makes the summer"
'sNo, no, good man." answered the
thrush in a weak voice, there is a
greater power than mine which causes
the flowers to bloom and the grass to
grow, and the cold of death to come
to me"
"You foolish, boastful bird chided
tie saint You said that you made
the summer, SO to punish you, the
Great Being sent winter You shall
not die, however, for tomorrow the
warm days viii return.
Remember never to boast when
you sing your song, but send thanks
to heaven for the summer"
And this is why the thrushs' song
is always one of thanksgiving.

Last year, to a greater or less ex-

but this year they claim to be strong

the democrats must line up with them

I'll -fnaal meeting If the Idaho r.
Jion congress will be held at Twin

company, Mr. Gibson said.
In announcing the dates of the con-

gated section of the state most
cordial invitation to be represented at
the Twin Falls meeting by actual dirt
farmers, officers, directors and mem
bers of canal companies and irriga-
ton districts. representatives Of COM
merciaI bodies and others. The con-
gress in the past has devoted its en-
ergies largely to physical problems
having to do with the high crop pro-
duction per acre of irrigated land. In
the coming session we want to dis
cuss and adopt ways and means of
securing more money for the farmers
on the irrigated acre Idaho does not
want to see her famous baked potato
drop out of the markets; her prune
and apple orchards destroyed. Yet
unless the grower can secure fore for
