Teacher Admits Burning
Ottertal County School
District Building Destroyed By New
York Mills Girl on November
Second

The Bowers township schoolhouse
in District No. 271, which was total
| ly destroyed by fire November End,
was but part of a poorly conceived
plan by Miss Eleanor Lahde, of New
York Mills, to cover up her dismiss
al from the school as teacher. Her
arrest followed an investigation by
State Fire Marshall Tourtellote and
she made a full confession to the
Ottertal county authorities. She is
now in the Women's Reformatory at
Shakopee. The schoolhouse was a
frame structure worth $4,000 and
the insurance coverage amounted to
5000.
Miss Lahde is twenty years of age
i, and was engaged to teach the Blow
ers school, entering upon her duties
there the first Tuesday in September.
Failing to secure her teachers certi-
ficate the board was forced to dis
miss her, her dismissal coming at a
time when she contracted smallpox
the latter part of October. She went
hcme for treatment, carefully guard
ing the secret of her dismissal and on
November End announced that she
was going direct to the Andrew
Malta home where she had been
boarding with the announced inten-
ton of getting her things. There
she spent the night.
During the early morning hours
she slipped out of the Malta home,
crawled into the schoolhouse through
window and set the fire after piling
up waste paper and wood. The des-
truction of the schoolbouse would
account for her return home to her
aged parents, who had worked hard
and economized in order thet
daughter might get ahead. Wadana

the Big Rock. They danced through
the tops of the rushes and made the
latter whisper together. They rocked
Grandfather Frog by making little
waves roll under the big, green lily
pad on which he sat.
By and by the Merry Little Breezes
danced over to the upper end of the
Smiling Pool, and there they dis
covered Danny Meadow Mouse sitting
motionless and scared half to death on
the end of a piece of board caught in
the rushes. They whirled around him
and then they saw why he looked
scared half to death. They saw a big
fish called a pickerel in the water
alongside that board That fish was
nearly as long as the board. On the
other side they saw the head Of
Snapper the Swapping Turtle. and
then they discovered on the shore, in
back of Danny, Longlegs the Heron,
standing without motion, waiting for
something to eat to come Within
reach.
Goodness exclaimed the Merry
Little Breezes, and whirled away over
into the Green Meadows to talk it
over.

DLD lllL - O1l11LO ". BURGESS

How under the sun did Danny
Meadow Mouse ever get out there?"
exclaimed one.
Il don't know how he got there, but
that does not matter at all. The i'm
portant thing is how is he going to
get back where he belongs?" said
another.
There's an enemy to the left OF
him, enemy to the right of him, an
enemy behind him. / think we really
will have to help Danny" cried
third.
"Of course" cried all the Merry
Little Breezes together. Then they
talked it all over between them, and
when they had decided what they
would do, they all raced back to the
Smiling Pool and got behind Danny
Meadow Mouse. Then all together
they huffed and puffed and puffed and
huffed and blew with all their might
against Danny Meadow Mouse and the
old board on which he was sitting. AT
first nothing happened, because the
old board was caught in those rushes.
But they huffed and they puffed and
they puffed and they huffed, and they
blew with all their might, and by and
by that board began to move a little.
then they huffed harder, puffed harder,
| and blew harder, and that old BOARD

seen Danny Meadow Mouse, and who
wasn't at all interested in an old piece
of board. Only the pickerel, the big

moved. He swan along beside that

| him swimming along. SO they blew
| harder than ever, and that old board,
which really was Dannys raft, began
! to bob up and down. for in blowing
so hard the Merry Little Breezes made
| waves. Danny began to feel as IL he
we're going up and down inside and
! he didn't feel comfortable at all.
| But Danny and his raft were NOV
| ing straight out, straight out toward
/ the middle of the Smiling Pool. And
presently that pickerel was no longer
alongside. The Merry Little BreeZes
were blowing Danny away from his
enemies. They huffed and they puffed
and they puffed and they huffed and
/! they blew and they blew, and presently
| Danny and his raft had passed the Big
Rock and was drawing nearer to the
other side of the Smiling Pool. There
were some big green lily-pads there.

pads and the Merry Little Breezes

The Chase.

Presently the children looked be.
hind them and saw the water-sprite
following. She came so fast in her
cloak of swiftness that it seemed as
though they could not possibly escape
from her.
But the children had the magic
things which the water-cat had told
them to bring with them. They re
membered that it had said to throw
one of the magic things over their
shoulders when the water-sprite came
near to them. So Little Brother
threw the comb over his shoulder. and
at once it spread and grew into a
great wall of spikes. so stiff and high
that it would seem Impossible for any
one to get over it.
Even with her cloak of swiftness on
it took the water-sprite a long time Il
climb over the wall. and the childrer
were we'll on their way before they
heard her behind them again.

Jealousy.

1t happens now and then that one
child of the family is jealous. He or
she is most unhappy if any other
child seems to be favored by any one
else. If father brings home something
for the children and this one does not
feel that most of it was hers and that
father meant it so. a shade falls over
her spirit. If one of the children gets
a new toy or a new hat there is sure
to be storm, although the. jealous
one neither needed nor actually want
ed the thing. Such a character is
burden to the family. but a positive
cross to the afflicted child.
When you notice such a tendency
in a child it is just as we'll not to
talk directly about it, but to set about
amending it subtly and with a long
look forward. The end will not come
in day or a week. 1t will take time
and understanding to work the mira
Gle. One of the best ways to set about
1t. l think, is by getting the child
to serve those for whom he has cher
ished the grudging attitude.
We are all jealous. If you stop to
think of it, you will acknowledge to
yourself that it is easier to be po-
litely regretful for another's Ill for
tune than it is to rejoice at his sue
cess WAen II Is greater imam our own.
We who have been disciplined by life
know that the only way to carry a
sense of inferiority with ease. and
each of us must do it at some time or
other. for we cannot all be masters
in every field, is to find some way
in which we can make ourselves feel
that we have an advantage.
And the only decent way of gaining
that advantage is through rendering
a service to the one who seems to
have the present advantage. That
may seem like putting a high ethical
quality upon a low material basis,
but most fine qualities that l know
anything about have their roots in
the ground and are all the more stable
for that.
How can a child serve another
child? The home conditions will de-
termine that. When there is a festi-
val day coming along there is a good
chance. Let the jealous one into the
secrets and let him help to make the
festival glorious for the other child.
Birthdays are fine occa sions for
service. The sense that he is in the
secret and the other is not will soothe
the hurt of the envy and the actual
helping will carry the day against 1t.
Try giving the jealous one q feeling
