A True Indian Story.
Once when my mother was a
little girl, she and her sisters were
out of doors playing, when they
looked down the road and saw a
lot of Indians. First came the
leaders riding on horses, next
came horses with the supplies on
their backs. Then last came the
squaws holding the little papooses.
My mother lived near a creek and
that is where the Indians camped
for several days. The same eve
ning two old squaws and one
younglndian girl came to the house
to get some thing to eat. My
Aunt Mary was angry with grand
ma because grandma wouldn't let
her put her hands in the bread
dough. So she went over and
flood by the Indians and said, "I
am going home with the Indians."
They just laughed and patted her
on the head.
After grandma had given them
something to eat they were ready
to go. They started out, one be
hind the other, and ran tike that all
the way. After that when Aunt
Mary was still small and got angry
with some one, she'd say, "I'm go
ing home with the Indians." J'his
happened 39 vcars ago. Avis O.
Olson, Elba, Neb.
The Snake.
Dear Happy: I received my pin
today. I was so glad that I got it
so soon that I must thank you
very much for it. Today the teach
er's little girl and some of her
friends went to get the mail for her
parents. They saw a snake lying
on the road. The girls called the
boys to kill the snake. My friend
and I went to the road and killed
the snake. This happened at our
noon hour. I intend to help my
mother and help the neighbors
shuck their wheat. Paul Potrato;

In Stream and Forest
Do you think, dear young
friends, that all birds are fed alike?
It you do, then some day, if you
watch them, you will have a great
surprise in store for you. You will
see mother and father robins
dropping a big earth worm or a
part of one into each baby mouth.
Sometimes if an insect is too big
or too hard, they beat it till it is
is soft or break it up.
How do you think the humming
bird mothers or the flicker moth
ers feed their babies? They swal
low the food as they collect and
then when they reach the nest,
jerk it up to feed the little ones.
They feed in mouthfuls by pushing
their own long beaks into each
little throat and poking the food
so far down that it does not need
to be even swallowed. Baby pig
eons do just the opposite, for they
poke their beaks down mother's
throat and search for food.
For many years in my little
home here by the Big Forest I
have studied the birds from day to
day. I have come to know that,
each father and mother bird is wise
in his own way and knows how
best to prepare and give food to
their own babies. At least so it
s.'fms to your
. UXCLF. JClia.
David.
One bright June day a little hoy
namrd David was walking along
the road, when ktiddetily he spied
two hoys who were tying tin cans
onto a poor little dog's tail. The
dog was struggling to get free, but
he could not. The little girl who
owned the dog was sitting on the
fence crying. David at once saw
what was the matter. He threw
off his coat and knocked one of
the boys down and then the oth
er. At last he got the dog away
from the boys. During all this
time the little girl looked on anx
iously. When, at last, the dog was
safe in David's arms, he carried
it tenderly to the little girl. She
caid, "Thank you. but why were
you so kind?" David said, "Be
cause of this," and he pointed to
his Go-Hawk pin. The next time
David saw the little girl she also
had on a Go-Hawk pin. -Phyllis

Robins.
Two years ago a pair of robins
built their nest in a tree in our
back yard.
They .were such cute little rob
ins we took much interest in them.
Every day we fed them crumbs
so they became quite tame.
They used to take their bath
under the sprinkler on the lawn.
Last summer they came back
again. They always come back if
we treat them well. When win
ter came they flew to their home
in the south. This morning as T
was looking out of the window I
saw them hoping about on the
lawn, so they have come back to
fpend another summer with us.
You see we are well repaid for
any kindness to birds and animals.

The Runaway Bunny.
One day a little bunny, whose
name was Johnny, thought he
would run away because his
mother had given him a whipping
for eating a pie she had baked
for supper. So Johnny took some
food when his mother wasn't look
ing. Then he took some clothes.
Then he started off. He was walk
ing along quite merrily when a
great big dog started to chase him.
Luckily there was a haystack close
by. and he hid there.
Then when it became dark he
started on again. Suddenly he
saw two monstrous big bright eyes
staring at him. They came closer
ami closer. What was it?
He started to run. Then John
ny cried: "Mamma, mamma."
As it happened his mamma was
calling on Belinda Squirrel, and
was close by. Johnny's mother
heard it and hurried over to him.
"Johnny, come here." commanded
his mother and Johnny, very
frightened, did as he was told.
After his fright he said timidly:
"Mamma, what was that thing
that came after me."
"Oh," said his mother, "that's
one of those two-legged things
and their machines called automo
biles." But Johnny's mother gave
Johnny another spanking and sent
him to bed for running away. So
vou see it doesn't pay to run
away. Madu Plotts. Box 233, Mil
