And e'en although alie'a In the wrong
She never seems to rue It;
Thla Is (lie burden of her song:
"I d dr.'t mean to do It."
She'll tear her cilrlaln, break her bowl
And do all aorta of thinga
Hut a frown never ruffles her placid
brow,
Aa her mournful song ahe ainga
She'll spoil h«r exhibition pleee
And aa ahe stops to View it,
Again we hear In piteous tones;
"I didn't mean to do it."
A book she s lopt, some Ink she's spilt,
* And still she cannot rest;

The Pow lillls llrat* Boy
Dick «»« * pndr little !*■»« hot
vbo lived with bla father and mothei
In a small tenement house
HI* father wu paraly sed and his |
mother worked very hard to keep j
the little family
On* day a* Dkk was going I' j
school h« saw a ahahhy dreased man j
standing tn front -f the p stoffice
Whin Dirk got home from school
h* told hi* mother of seeing thi*
man. The next day he w»* there
again peering Into the window.
That night about 10:i0, while Dick
and hi* mother and father were sit
ting by the stove. Dirk s father let
out a great shriek of pain. Dick *
mother knew what thla meant and
sent Dick for the doctor.
On hi* way he saw the shabby
dressed man trying to get In the post
office. He saw Dick and grabbed him
and told him not to holler or he
would suffer.
Dick was frightened and didn't say
anything. The man tied his hand*
wjih a rope on the doorknob of the
postoffke.
The man broke In the w.ndow and
came out with a bag. Dick watched
him until he was out of aight and
then broke loose. He went to the
doctor'* office, lijekv to find him In,
and told him of hi* father's Illness
and to hurry to Dick's home. Then
Dirk went in the direction of the
police station, but luckily, found one
on the corner, and told him of his
story. They both went In the direc
tion of the robber. They caught him
Juat as he was going to get on a
train. They took him to the police
station and was he given a long
turn In Jail, because there were many
valuable letters In the bag. Dick
w a* rewarded highly for his great
deed, and his father got well, and
they werei t very poor after that.

BOON «_|
Just the other day I had a letter
from Susan Jane Adams of Omaha,
and she sent me a recipe that she
thought I might like to uee Easter
week. Mother had some friends in
for tea yesterday, so I tried Pusan
Jane's recipe for
EASTER SANDWICHES
T'se thin slice* of either white or
whole wheat bread. Butter and then
spread with this filling—two hard*
boiled eggs, one-eighth teaspoon salt,
one teaspoon paprika. Mash egg
yolks until smooth, mix in salt, pap
rika and moisten with a llttla mayon
naise dressing. Spread the bread with
butter, then with the yolk mixture
and then w-ith egg whites chopped
fine. Cut with an oval cookie cut
ter. Pile the sandwiches In the mid
dle of a plate and make a circle
of either water ires* or parsley around
the edge. On top of the sandwiches
stand a few yellow chicks,
PUSAN JANE ADAMS.
Tou can't imagine bow pretty these
looked, and I am very glad Pusan
wrote me how to make them.

In Field and Forest j
Last week all the poplar trees
about me were la blossom and today
I found the slimy bade opening on
the same twtgs. The young (hoots
1 are coming out and the aoft. whhe
baby lea'e* are covered with a silky
down and tinted pink under the hair*.
They will look thla way only a thort
lime and then the hairy coat will be
ehed and the tiny leaves will look a*
white and helpless as babies, and will
become bright green, and then they
will shine and twinkle In the bright
sunshine.
The long, flattened twigs will catch
every breexe and these pretty leaves
will trembla and shake. Tou have
heard of the trembling aspen, end
have often noticed their bright, flut
tering leaves, always dancing, never
•till a minute.
Pid you kn"w that the buds of the
cottonwood tree are sealed with a
sweet smelling gum? Whan growth
begins then the scales loosen and
the wax will soften. Then the bees
begin to swarm around these trees
and they carry away the soft wax to
their hives. Po you wondar for what
they use It? To atop up the cracks
to keep out the rain, for bee# do not
like to have the rain leaking Into
their homes any more than wa do In
ours. Should they happen to gather
more ws* than they need, the wise
bees store it carefully sway for fu
ture use. for they love this wax the
best of all. VNCLB JOHN.
