    Every Mail Brings Good News to Happyland
(( -w- T LOOKS tn me as though there would he so many new branches of
J the Happy Tribe that you will not be able to count them soon,” is
-L the Cheery message sent to Happyland by Paul Carter of Omaha.
When the mail is opened day after day it seems as though Paul is really a
good prophet.
Russell Sccger of St. Louis sends the Indian names by which his five
Co-Hawks are now known—"Running Crow." "Spotted 101k," "Whitp Wolf."
"Kittle Dog" and "Sitting Bull." These may help some one else who Is
looking for good Indian names.
Twelve membens are now enrolled In John Vierru's tribe in New Bed
ford and more will be heard from them later. Kmily Bates reports eight
members In her tribe In Pottersville, Mass., while Helen Madison sends, word
that every one of her six never fails to read Happyland each Sunday so
they will know what is going on among the Go-Hawks in other parts of the
country.
Mabel Walker, who lives at 4ftD Washington street. I.oogootee, Ind.
would like some suggestions for a good name for her tribe oT eight girls
"Black Eagles" Is the name chosen for John O'Donnell's tribe In Attleboro
Mass, while Helen McKinley, who lives in Uniotiville, Mo., calls tiers "The
Indian Maidens." Aldar Sabo reports that he was chosen chief of a small
ham! in Skelton, Conn.
"I’ve been longing to Join the Go-Hawks because there Isn't a thing 1
wouldn't do to help a bind or animal in distress," is the tine message sent bv
Rosa. Knubley of St. Louis. Every week we have letters proving how many
boys and birls are making a real effort to befriend the birds and animals
about them.
E-” "Good news for you. I've a tribe of 10 started," writes Chief Lilly B.
Zahner of Berlin Heights, O. Each member accepted the pledge and motto
when she pinned on his Go-Hawk button. These ane hut a few of the tnany
good pieces of news. Happyland Is not half big enough to hold all the good
things waiting to be published. The only way Is for
each to wait his turn, for Go-Hawks always play fair.
That means a long wait sometimes, All saving of bird
ind animal life should he reported prointly to

t.id he and Mr. Shirley have a little talk
i fore the editor'* departure.
NOW CO ON WITH THR STORY.
(Continued Prom J.aiit Sunday.)
'.••fora Jack could reply tho moth
•* voice was heard calling, “Come,
it y«, tea is ready. We must hurry,
.'V it will soon lie train time.”
It seemed to Jack but a minute
iore before he and the Squaw Lady
followed Mr. Shirley to the door, and
ith shining eve* be watched him
fold hi* mother close to his heart. It I
rought. a lump to his own throat i
_^ hen he saw their eyes full of tears.
Mr. Shirley laid his hand for a
ver to-be-forgotten moment on the
• y's shoulder. “Don't let her be
nelv, .Tack, and remember all 1 have
told you.”
As he started away from the house
lark -called after hlmCOne thing 1
f» rgot to tell you, even if we are
going to make a squaw lady out of
her. T promise you T will m»t let Rain
in-the fare chop off her hair the way
he did our other squaws."
“I hope not. Jack, for T haven’t a
bit * to spare." Mrs. Shirley closed
w he door, and with her arm aero**
he chiefs shoulders led the way hack
oward the firelight.
• CHAPTER V.
Piggy’s Bliss.
Tn less than three weeks every Go
Hawk was devoted to the service of!
he Squaw Lady. As senior member*
■>f th« tribe, .Tack and Donald had
.een the first to spend a week each
in her home. They were so enthusi
astlc, reporting such glorious times,
that Piggy’ and Tinker could scarce
await their turns. Since Piggy had
been a. Go-Hawk longer than Tinker,
it was decided that he should have
ths third week. Tinker consoled him
.self by dreaming of Inventions he
had planned to bestow upon her dur
ing his week.
Neve^ln his life had Piggy been
so contented, for the Squaw Lady
seemed to understand that he was
always hungry. He had never
dreamed that anyone could make
4 Voklea so plump and bulging with
raisins. Tt had not been his experl
ence that a hoy could visit the cookie
jar any time he wished and help him
self without some one warning him
that he would spoil his next meal,
i nokies were not the only thing*
either, as he boasted to his playmate*,
for nothing was hidden in that pantry.
What could he more appropriate
than that Thanksgiving should come
during Piggy * week, and his young
} eaTt was filled with pride when the
Squaw Lady consulted him about
plans for the day.
“X have been wondering What
w 11u111 make the very happiest day for
us, l*lggy." Mrs, Shirley had early
round by using the little nicknames
of the lads that they drew her nearer
III them. They were haxlng their
usual after-dinner talk.
Piggy looked vaguely troubled.
•'Mother sort of thought I'd hett“r
come home for dlnnei if you don't
need me. Of course, 1 will stay If
you do."
"What would you think, dear, of
having our dinner In the exenlng, fi
o'eloek, and lnvlllng all the Go-Hawk
braves, the squaws, and—"

(Continued Next Sunday.)
One of the Go-Hawk squnws, I.ttcia
Simmons of Morehouse, Mm, sent m*
a description of the pretty little
flower baskets the children in her
neighborhood make. Probably they
used many of them for Kaster and
May dav. They are just the thing to
make and fill with flowers for others
who may he shut in doors, or for
those of you who love to take flowers
to the hospitals or homes for the
aged.
Lucia’a direction* are «« follows:
Take a box about thre* Inches square
or round. Take two colors of crepe
paper, (lather them one shorter than
the other, the longest being as high
as the top. Kor the handle take a
wire and wrap crepe paper around
It. p.end the wire In the shape of
a handle. Make hole in box and
fasten your handle. PETER.

This is a good month to become ac
quainted with the ample family of
i trees, particularly the silver and red
maples. In March and early April,
while the red maple flowers ere glow
ing on their red twigs, those of the
silver maple are greenish yellow. Set
on their long. flexible stems. tire
leaves are white beneath the pale
green. If you examine them you will
find they are larger than the leaves
of the red maple, and cleft In a differ
ent way. Thev are always silvery
white underneath In summer and this
♦ urns to yellow in the autumn.
I^nte this month the pairs of two
inch winged keys may be found bang
ing on short stems. Each key is fuzzy
I green until ripe. At tire same time
keys that are only half ns long are
[ripening on the red maple. When the
seeds begin to fall it Is like a shower
| of rain. As each key separates from
its mat® and loosens its hold on tic
twig, the wind catches its thin wing
and round and round it whirls. Then
the heavy seeds fall to earth.
While It is true that the silver and
red maples grow quickly, the hard nr
sugar maple Is of slow growth. This
Is the sugar maple that you love best.
Its trunk is tapped in tire spring itnd
the sap boiled down In great kettles
over an open fire in the woods. When
Hie water ia all evaporated solid
-akes of maple sugar remain In the

Letters From Little Folks of Happyland
(Prize.)
Missionary Radishes.
The Grubbies class had grown since
Ken had become a member, until now
there were a dozen boys.
One morning a missionary came to
Sabbath school and spoke of the work
in faraway Peru. All the boys were
very much Interested. At the close
of the talk the superintendent said:
“I want each class to pledge a cer
tain amount of money to help the
children in Peru have a Sabbath
school like ours."
Kay was the first class president to
rise:
"The Grubbies will promise ten dol
lars,’' he said.
Kveryine In^he room was surprised.
But after the boys' rlaas had made
so large a pledge It was easier for
the other classes to promise a good
sum, and the missionary was much
pleased.
After Sabbath school, Ray was sur
rounded by the Grubbies, who really
needed to he called grouches from the
way they talked.
"VoU promised ten dollars.’’ said
.Ice. ''Now how are wa going to
get it?"
"I paid my last penny for a window
I broke,” declared Martin Crossby.
"I know," said Ben. "let us meet
over to Ray's house. Monday."
The boys all agreed to this. Mon
day came and the boys were all over
to Ray's home. Ben said:
"Let's all think as hard as we can.
A little V idle. Ben held up his hand
and said. "1 have thought of a plan.
Our name, Grubbies, gave me the
Idea. Let's every one of ns plant a
garden of radishes. They grow fast "
Thev all tluew up their caps and
agreed. They watered and dug and
dug as fast as they could.
Ben said they were ready to sell, for
it took more than four weeks to grow.
They were sweet and crisp. They
washed them clean and tied them In
nice bunches. 1
Ben and Ray were the salesmen:
Then Ray put up a sign he had
painted. It read, "Missionary Rad
ishes—Try a hunch."
When the people saw the tempting
radishes and the fares of the hoys,
they bought of them. A man came
In the store where they were selling
llhem and praised the radishes. Ry
noon not a bunch was left, arid the
boys had nine dollars of the Mission
ary money. The hoys planted mote
radishes and by two weeks they had
sold them and doubled the money. No
other class had done as well as they
had done.—Mary Mason, Islington,

A Queer Miser.
Once there was a hermit 1hat
1 i\ f*rl in the forest. It was a dark
and gloomy forest. A road ran
through the forest and passed close
by the hermit's hut. On thlc road
people went to and from the village
They thought the hermit a nitser, be
cause they would heal a queer clink,
clink a sound like coins dropping
together and he never spent sny
money.
(hie day a stranger from the city
came to the village and asked where
the hermit lived. A village loafer,
who was sitting In the park on an
old log seat chewing tobacco, pointed
out the hermit's place. He wandered
out there and hung around In the
woods a few days. At last one night
growing bolder he crept up softly to
the hut and listened. Then he peep
ed In at the window—one look was
enough. He ran to the village as
fast as he could. He took the first
train to the city. The next day he
came back with ten strong men.
They hurried out towards the her
mit’s hut. They quietly slipped from
tree to tree until they reached the
door. They quickly opened the
door. They had expected to find the
hermit ready to fight fiercely, hut
to their surprise the room was empty.
They tiled to find some one but could
not. Then they eaw a door in the
back of the room, they tried to open
it but could not. One man was
crowded against a picture hanging on
the wall. With a creak the door
swung open. They heard the clink,
dink. Soon they were to know what
It was. They ruche-1 Into the *ave
which was hack of this, door. And
there—In the dim light at a candle
sat the old hemit cracking walnuts.

Our Vacation
Dear Happy: Ted and I went out
in the country near a lake for our va
lation last summer and #t pitched
our tent near the lake. One day we
went out rowing and on the other
side of the lake v.e auw sunie trees
with wild plums on them and we
went on shore to pick some. When
we got back to camp It was near 6
o’clock. Ted said he would get sup
per eu we went Into the tent to get
soma potatoes and other things for
supper. But in a minute he came
running out and said: "lack, the
provsions are gone ' But they can t
tie, 1 told him. "All right" he an
swered, go look for yourself ”
I did, but I found he wss not
fooling. Just *a I came out I saw
a boy walking toward us. "Tarek,
Ted, some one s coming" The boy
came up to us and what should he
hare with him but our provisions.
He said: "I live a short distance from
here and I happened to walk over
here this afternoon and saw your
tent. We are poor and I took your
provisions but mother made me bring
them back." Ted said, "Dick, your
mother surely must belong to the Go
Hawks, because our motto is to make
the world a happier place and you
can do so by truth."
