rOKEN OF ADMIRATION
By JULIA CONWAY.
It had always been the rule In the
Crompton family for the children to
share and share alike, but when pret
ty Claribel, the eldest, received the
day after her sixteenth birthday a
beautiful basket of bonbons, a token
of the admiration of a youth whom sho
had met while visiting In the sum
mer, she inwardly rebelled at the pros
pect of seeing the dcticloua sweets
melt away like the dew before tho
sun. For the young Cromptona al
ways made remarkably short work of
a box of candy.
"I apeak firat for that big piece of
candied pineapple," said Alice aa the
children gathered around Claribel to
aee the delectable package opened.
"Can I have some o' them candled
violets. Claribel V asked small Joe.
"No. you can't." Claribel quickly
ralaed the baaket beyond the reach
of Joe'a none too clean hand. "You
can't have any, because you said,
'them' Instead of 'those.' "
"Well, I don't care if I did. You
ate more'n half the taffy I bought with
the nickel dad gave me for having
my spelling paper right"
"And it waa the Brat time be ever
got a perfect mark," chimed Helen.
"Why, Claribel, aren't you going to let
us have any of the candy? You shut
down the baaket lid with a regular
forever bang."
"Mayn't I have that pineapple to put
In my lunch box?" asked Alice. "I
guesa If you had to take an old lunch
to school every day the way I do,
you'd "
"No, Alice," returned Claribel with
dignity. "I'm going to save this
candy."
"Save it!" exclaimed all the chil
dren. "What for?" demanded Carita.
You know I had the toothache yester
day and couldn't eat any of your birth
day candy. I think I ought to have
a lot of thia."
"And get the toothache again,"
scornfully remarked Claribel. If you
weren't such a baby about going to
the dentist you could have your teeth
fixed."
"Well, what good would It do If
you're always going to aave your
candy?"
I'm not always going to aave It."
replied Claribel In a tone of martyred
patience, "but this ia a very apecial
baaket of candy and 1 think if I don't
want it all gobbled up the first minute
I've a right to keep it. My sorority
Is going to meet here a week from
next Saturday and I want to ahow all
the girls this beautiful basket Just as
It is Then I II pass it around and
you can all have some."
"Yes. arter the sorority girls have
picked it all oyer," grumbled Alice.
Some day you may wish to Join
my sorority, Alice."
Alice, being an aspirant for early
election to her slater's sorority, looked
somewhat chagrined and mentlonc d
casually that it was time to be going
to school. After the others were goie
Claribel hastily looked about for a hi .
ing place for h-r basket of candy.
After a moment's desperate thought
for nothing was sacred in the ROOM
of Crompton she flew into the library
and secreted the candy with consider
able satisfaction at Iter bright idea.
Where on earth did you put your
candy?" asked Helen the next day.
Oh, were you looking for It?'
"No, of course not, but 1 didn't see
It anywhere and I Just wondered
where It was."
"I suppose you all wondered. "
Claribel was smiling superior. "1 just
put it vay."
Joe, coining in from play on the Sat
urday of the sorority meeting, forced
his way into the library aaint iln
advice of his ouug sisters, who
warned him that Claribel wo::ld be
angry if he went into the meeting,
which was always very secret.
"I don't care If It Is a secret." de
clared Joe. 'Claribel promised me
some candled vl'leta today and I want
'em."
"Joe. run right away," commanded
Claribel as he entered the room.
You know you can't come to our
meeting."
"I don't want to come to your meet
ing All I want Is the candy you said
1 could "
"Oh. my basket of candy!" fairly
shrieked Claribel. It's all burned up."
' Why, how can It be?" asked Alice,
who had rushed in, having been listen
ing at the door. "Where was It?"
Claribel pointed at the fireplace.
"I put it under the cedar boughs
father brought In from the country to
make the fireplace look pretty, and
when i be girls came today 1 thought
how cheerful the fire would be and I
lighted It and forgot all about the
candy!"
All her slaters, sorority aud real.
gathered sympathetically about the
weeping Claribel. but Joe said. "I
gueaa now you re sorry you didn't give
me them candied vi'leia."

The Hjraanll Tribune pulled off
quite n stunt last week by getting a
special wire from Washington, ahead
of any other paper In the state,
giving the full text or an order by
President Taft, Issued March I, op

County Herald, March 21.
H. A. Mark has sold his paper,
The Hammer, which he published at
Gering In the Interest of Irrigation
in the North Platte valley. It waa
disposed of to O. E. Farnbain of
Newell, 8. D.. who will consolidate
it with the Water Users' Bulletin, of
which he Is publisher.
We believe It would help readers
of the two Alliance papers to appre
ciate them better if they would com
pare either of them with newspa
pers in other towns of about the
same slxe. Any one wishing to make
the comparison can do so by calling
at The Herald office and taking a
look at a copy or a paper published
In another western Nebraska town
which, according to the cenaua re
port, had a larger population than
Alliance.
The Marsland Tribune of last Fri
day clips a part of The Herald's
story of the big blizzard and credits
it to "the Alliance papers". Does
this mean that the Tribune editor
considers this the only paper In Alli
ance or does he wish to divide tha
credit?
