Letters from Little Folks of Happyland — (Prize.) I Violet and Dot. ^^^ear Happy: Violet is a little WP^^^ing on her seventh birthday. ! She was going to have a party and t invite her girl and boy friends. All I came except one, a little girl of i almost eight. She was a poor lit i tie girl named Dorothy, but was | called Dot for short. I "I wonder why she doesn't come," said Violet, “I think I’ll go see." f So she put on her coat and bon net and started off. , When she reached Dorothy’s ! house she saw her in by a little 1 bed. • "Dot, what on earth are you do [ ing?” she cried. I Dot looked around and said: “I found this poor pup down In the road and brought it home. Mother said it had one leg broken, so we repaired it as best we could. I think I can't go to the party, for the little dog needs me much more.’’ ‘‘Yes, Dorothy, go on to the par 1 ty,” said her mother. “I'll do my best to watch the dog." I So the two girls were off to her , party. As they reached there the boys , and girls soon gathered around and the story soon began, they all j thinking it a great deed for Dot to do, for even thinking to give up 1 the party for a dumb dog.—Yours ' truly, Nettle Stone, age 13, Lex ! ington, Neh.

An Unknown l>og Saves a Good Go-Hawk. Billie Jac kson had always wished to take a trip to Europe. And at last his long desired wish came true. After several days at sea the cap tain of the ship received the weath er report, which stated a storm would be upon them about 5 o'clock. llillie had not yet been told to stay in his cabin. He was sitting on the deck with the captain's dog, though he did not know the dog s name. He thought as much of it as if it were his own. Suddenly a large wave washed over the deck. Billie and the dog found themselves in the water. Though Billie was a good swim mer he could not reach the boat without the help of the dog. The dog seemed to know that he was In danger. He jumped under the boy and swam as hard as he could. The ship was slowly sinking and by the time they reached it, it had gone under. The dog seeing a large plank swam to it. They reached it safely. Billie who had a few sandwiches in his pocket gladly gave this un known dog half of them. Billie, who owed his life to the dog, called him Faithful. A few days after, the dog came barking up to him. Then pulling him to the shore, the dog saw a large ship coming. Billie and the dog swam out and the captain, seeing them, sent a lifeboat down for them. Billie never wanted to go to the set again, and as for his dog, I think it thought the same.—Hilda Goettsche, sge 12, Grand Island. Neb. A I»yal Go-Hawk.

John was his master and was very good to him The dog would play hide and go seek with him. In the morning when he was coming downstairs, he would hide under the rug and jump out at him. He would play in many other ways with him. One day John and some of his friends went on a hike. So, of course. Pal went too. Pal had a race with the boys. Pal beat but not by far. When they were half way there. Pal got so anxious to reach the end of the journey that he got lost. Some boys who did not know about the Go-Hawks found him. He had a short tail and a pure brown spot under his neck. He was a fox terrier. The boys put tin cans on his tail and stoned him. When John and his friends got to where they were going. John said: Where is Pal?” All the boys look ed so puzzled, for they did not know where he went. John said, "We must find him before we go home.” So away they went in search of the missing dog. First they looked under th6 bridge, then went to the farmhouse to ask the farmer if he had seen a dog like Pal. He said that he had seen the dog amj some boys chasing hint down the road. John ana his friends looked for him for about half an hour. After a while they saw Pal with tin _eans tied to hi3 tail, and boys chasing him in every direction. Pal was very glad to see his own master again. And then and there the bad boys learned what the Go Hawk club meant. Several days later the Go-Hawks received a number of new members who were very happy and proud to be members of this club. I'm sure that If you become a member of this club, you will feel the same. Your Go-Hawk friend. Edward Tra cy, Age 9, 1306 Park avenue. Fre mont, Neb Has Man Pels. Dear Happy: Am sending you a 2-cent stamp for my button.

Hear .little Golden Hair, tired was she. Ail the day long as busy could lie. Up in the morning as soon as ’twas light, Out with the birds and butterflies bright, Skipping about till the coming of night. Grandpapa, toyed with the curls on her head. “What has my darling been doing," he said. “Since she arose with the sun from her bed?” “Pitty much," answered the sweet little one; "I cannot tell so much things I have done— Played with my dolly and feeded my bun.

The bright moon sheds upon the garden, a glorious golden llgnt Lightens the silent darkness and illumes the tranquil night. A peaceful rest settles over the Jowly garden wall, And the dainty petals of the rose to the earth's breast gently fail. The wild enthralling beauty that surrounds the silent place Garbs and envelope* it in a nolle stately grace. Tis a masterpiece, Nature in her happiness has made farpets, hangings and draperies of yellow, brown and jade. Nature sings a song of gladness for those who wish to hear. And walks hand «n hand with Beauty and whispers in her ear. She tells her of the trifles that would make the place more fair, Ai d da.ly puts fresh f! vert within her golden hair. The gentle breezes w hisper thrc .gh ■the leafy verdant trees. While the robins, bluebirds and redwings sing wonderful mel odies. The flowers lift tht.r sweet f e and look into the skies Then nod the;r dainty heads and close their lovely eyes. Thus sleeps the masterpiece «>f Na ture in loveliness and calm. The spruces, lindens and maples stand rivals of the palm. —Violet A. Linig. age 13, P!a;n view. Neb. f ond of Cats. Dear Happy: I want to join the .'Iappy Tr'be and I am serdirg a 2-cent stamp.
