One of the prize wIiiiith this week writ, h of a Hallowe'en party and Its effect upon the people who lhe In (Joblin-land. In your stork a of Hallowe-en try to Rive us ral descriptions of your parties, of the costumes that the guess wore, so that we may have a picture of what you Raw. Ready for Hallowe'en ... r m topics Yef. Two of the Hees this week have told, apparently, the same story, but told It each In her own way, and It is Interesting to compare them. As they live In the same town, possibly the story Is one which was given In school In tho language class, one which was told them by the teacher. Others of the Pees could write us these stories, couldn't they? They are especially Interesting to read, as they show how differently two people hear, or see, the same story, and how differently they tell fi. The prize wlnneis this week are Eunice Wrigbt of Fremont, Neb., Plue Hide, and Sadie Finch of Kearney, Neb., also Plue Fide. The Pees on the Red aide should work harder to deserve the adjective "busy," and also to win the prizes.

' "And what do you wsnt for Christmas?" asked I'upa Harris, ss he came around to hi. daughter Mary. He was asking every body what they wanted for Chrlstmus. Mary answered quickly, "A nice, big doggie." Her father laughed. "I guess you'll have to .Bk Santa Claus for that. I don't know where to got one. Mary sat down and wrote a letter to Santa Clas and gave it to papa to mall. When Christmas came what should Mary spy under the Christmas tree but a little Newfoundland puppy, all curled up In a box fast asleep. Mary was 3 years old. The puppy grew very fast, and when Mary was 5 years old he was very wise. He would follow Mary round as she played and never would let her he out of his sight. Mary named, him Teddy. Ore day when Mary was playing In the yard she caught sight of a butterfly. She started to follow It and Teddy got up from the grass where he hRd been lying and followed her, keeping track of where they went and, every once ln a while, he turned to look back to see If they could be very far away from the house. They lived In the country. By and by Mary stumbled over some thing and then soon found out that it was the railroad track. She started to cry, but Teddy went up to her and licked her hand.. She .topped crying and began to amuse herself by playing with the cin der, between the rails. Teddy grew anx ious, for he knew well that the train would be coming around the track In a few minutes. "What was that?" Teddy pricked up his ear. and listened. The train was coming! What should he do with little Mary? How should he get her off the track? Whatever was to be done must be done quickly. So Teddy cleverly took hold of Mary's little ging ham apron and pulled her over tho rati with his teeth to safety. It was getting dusk nnd so the trainmen passed on and did not see Teddy and hi. small charge be side the track. Mary was crying and Teddy comforted her by ncBtllng close to her. Teddy dared not go away from her, for he did not know what might happen. Mary grew sleepy and Teddy lay down beside her, making a nice, 'soft pillow for l.er head. Soon she fell asleep and Teddv saw the moon come up from behind the trees, and one by one the stars peeped out, and then Teddy heard a call, then a whis tle. He knew who that whistle was meant for, and so he cautiously slipped out from under Mary's hem! and went about thirty yards away and barked In answer to the whistle. Soon a light appeared ahead, and Teddy kept on barking, to direct the hunter, or men who were looking for Mary. Oh! How he frisked and capered about when Mr. Harris came and patted him on the head and asked him where Mary was. Teddy took them to the place where Mary was sleeping and Mr. Harris carried her home. The other men followed, with Teddy in front, barking and frisking about Joy fully. When they got home Mary was wide awake. She looked at her pet dog and said : "Don't like Teddy." "Why, dear?" asked her father. " 'Ta.ua I was makln' houses out of the stones on the track and a twain tumd along and Teddy pulled me off." Thus the story came out, bit by bit, and Teddy was patted and given many lumps of sugar, (his favorite dish), and Mrs. Harris cried and said she wouldn't let him be taken away for anything. The next day Teddy waa taken to town and Mr. Harris bought him a fine gold medal to wear. (rtecond Prise.) A Hallowe'en Party By Sadie B. Finch, Aged 12 Years, '.nifl Fourth Avenue, Kearney, Neb.
