"Well, you can't disguise yourself so

laughingly. "Your broad shoulders and

"That's to be proven." laughed Harper.

bub filled the spacious rooms. All were
masked and each was trying to hlds his
or her Identity, thus thfy held their voices
In whispers or talked In a high falsetto
key. '
Harper Goodman waa a trifle late getting
ready for ths party. He dressed In ths
barn In ths rear of his own home. He wss
anxious to try his disguise on his mother
first, and If she failed to recognise him,
he would then hurry on to the party. Hav
ing completed his masquerade toilet
which was that of a tramp hs went to
the kitchen door and knocked. Hs did not
wear a falss face, for "makeup", a full
wreath of straggling whiskers so disguised
blm that he would not have recognised
himself on looking In the mirror. He
had blackened his eyebrows, giving to his'
countenance a dogged, heavy look. The
rouyh black beard covered most of his
lower face, while a slouch hat. drawn
well down, shaded the upper part.
Tha housemaid opened the door In re
sponse to Harper's rap. and on beholding
the suspicious-looking character there did
not Invite him In. On ths contrary, she
pushed the door almost shut In his face,
peeping out through the crack at him.
"I'd like to speak with Mia Goudman."
said Harper, speaking In his natural
voice.
"I'll tell her," responded the maid.
Thn she banged thu dour In Harper's
face, turned ths key and rushed to her
mistress' room on the ssoond flour. But
Mrs .Goodman had gone across ths street
to Inquire about a nlghbor's sick child.

Butterflies.
By Helen Vernll, ex-gueen. Aged 14
Years. The Btrehlow, No. 19, Omaha.
Blue Side.
Hers Is an experience I had last summer
which I think was very interesting.
One sunny day In June 1 was walking In
the garden, when I noticed a lot of big
brown caterpillars, not the kind with fur,
these were large and smooth. They wers
all over the vines. 1 picked up three and
took them Into the house and put them In
a fish-globe filled with nice fresh traps
leaves, because that Is what they eat.
Every morning 1 put fresh leaves In.
And by and by they began to spin. Then
I put them In a candy box filled with
leaves and made a lot of holes In the top
for air. In two days I looked in the box
and found there were only three cocoons
In the box, and each one was fastened up
on the top of the box by a silk thread
they had made.
After about three months the cocoons
began to change colors, they got dull blue,
green and red.
And one day, about a week later, I found
a dear Uttle butterfly. It was very small
and Its wings were all wrinkled up. I
took It on my finger. It stood there, and
after a few minutes Its wings began to
stretch out and the wrinkles disappeared
and there was a large butterfly on my fin
ger. , With Its wings spread out flat on a
post card It would about cover it. The
wings were black with a blus edge, and
red, green and blue dots along the edge.
I put It on a flower and It soon flew away.
In a few days I had two more, all three
were alike.

Biddy.
By Thelma Fredericks, Aged 11 Years, 822
East Fifth St., Grand Island, Neb.
Ws used to have a pet hen named Biddy.
She was a Plymouth. Rock. She was so
gentle that we could pick her up and pet
her. She became ours because sbs kept
coming over to our house and she wasted
to set. Ws drove her off the nest, but she
cams back again.' Than ws asked the lady
who owned her if we could buy her The
lady said, yes.
We set Biddy oa thirteen eggs and when
three weeks earns she had ten little cotton
balls. She was vary gentle to the little
chickens and they lived and grsw up.
Then we set her twice more and shs
raised her little chickens. One little chick
en's feathers didn't grow and lie didn't
grow big. He followed us around every
time we went In the pen. At last one mora
log we found him dead In ths pen.
Biddy Is dead now and ws have Soma
more hens.

The Sponges.
By Ruth K3rchsteln, Aged 12 Years, 2C28
Maple Street, Omaha. Red Side.
Many have never seen a sponge growing
and find It almost impossible to believe
that It Is beautiful.
Bponges are quits common on the rocky
shores of our own country. They do not
- form large mssses like ths sponges grown
In warmer seas, which we import, but the
smaller growths massed together often
cover a great space of rock and are beauti
fully colored. Boms sponges are crimson
and some are green, while some of the
commonest are a brilliant orange yellow.
Ths sponges that are colored orange yel
low are often found near the low tide mark,
on the rocks and covered by growing sea
weed. Though It Is moist and firm when It is
growing it has still the "feel" of sponge.

Each little branch has a hole at the top
and on the exterior of the mass of the bath
sponge there are great numbers of such
holes.
Peoplo would suppose that tha holes are
ths mouths of the sponge branclits, and
they are known by the . Latin iiame of
"oscula," which means "Uttle mouths."
They are not mouths, though. The sponge
has a single mouth when It Is young, but
the adult sponge loses it.
A Timely Reicue.
By John Ashby. Aged 12 Years, Fairmont
Neb. Red Side.
"Too-e-e-e," sounded the auto whistle on
the great airship, "Eagle," as It came from
the shed on the edge of the fair grounds
with six men pushing it.
"All right," sounded the boyish voice of
Bob Norton, aged 17 years, as he cranked
up the motor and took his seat at the
Steering apparatus.
On the other side of the city on the
bsnks of the Mississippi river, a little boy
played beside a little cove and although
the Inlet did not have any force. It was
eleven feet deep.
It was at this time that the "Eagle" left
the Judge's stand and was speeding toward
the park, which the airships had to round
and come back, the winner receiving a
beautiful oup. As all the other airships
had coma back, and none were as fast
aa Bob's, he was sure he could go.
As Bob was coming back across the
Mississippi (and no other had made such
gocd time aa ha), ht heard a scream and
saw the boy fall Into ths cove. Bob In
stantly shifted the elevation rudder and
with a graceful swoop the "Eagle" reached
the place where the boy had fallen and Bob
caught the belt of the Uttle boy and drew
him Into the airship and then landed.
Bob saw a woman run from a house and
oon she was hugging the little boy and
thanking Bob at the came time.
It proved she wss Bob's sister whose
husband had died recently and she moved
to Bob's house to keep house for him and
Bob never regretted the loss of the cup.

One afternoon a man that my father

My little brother did not want to go.
He said, "I want to stay with grandpa."
So he stayed and my other brother went in
his stead. We went up ths Dundee car line
and passed the Happy Hollow club. After
that we saw several farms and little pigs.
Then we saw some acres of corn. We
went 'pretty nesr Calhoun. I hope we can

"ASK NO QUESTIONS. MY FELLER," INSTRUCTED THE
school. Shs was bright for a child of her
sgs and she loved to help her mother.
One dsy her mother got some cherries
and Helen aked It she could pick the
stems off. Her mother said yes. She had
picked several of them as she went In and
asked If she might slop.
"There are Just a few left," she said.
"You might as well do them, dear." said
her mother.
So she started out and one thing and an
other attracted her until It wan fully ten
minutes when she returned. Then what
should shs see but Tim, the dog, running
off with the last few cherries In his mouth.
Shs began to chase him and when her
mother called her shs was saying, "aaughty
dog."
. "Helen," ssld her mother, "It is not Tim's
fault thst you did not finish your tank.
It I Just your own fault." Then she added
gently, which made Helen cry: "Remember
this. If a task Is once begun, never leave
It until Jt la done."
Helen 'understood and always tried to re
member It.
This story brings to mind two helpful
thoughts which will benefit everyone if
they remember them.
First, no matter what excites you, speak
gently.
Second, whatever you undertake to do
you should finish.
The Adventure of a Penny.
By Ava A. llufsmlth, Aged 12 Yssrs.
Creighton, Neb. Blue Side.
I was born in the Rocky mountains and
was mads Into a United States penny In
Philadelphia In 18S7 with an Indian head
on one side and the words "One Cent," on
the other. Well, I was taken to a bank,
and that very day a little girl came and
said she wanted five cents out of her
bank acoount. Then she handed him a slip
of paper and I and four other pennies weio
exchanged for It. She took us to a candy
store where I was exchanged for a sugar
Image. I don't know what became of my
companions.
Next I was given in changs to a very
close old gentleman who filing on to me
as If I were a gold coin. He took me home
and put me in a large bag where there
were several other coins and then placed
the bag In an Iron chest. In ths night a
burglar broke Into the house and got us
all. He took us to a cave and put us Into
another bag. The next day lie packed
his clothes and said he was going back to
hlc old home In the Rocky mountains. When
we got there I looked out of a hole In the
bag and saw that I was at my old home
so I rolled out of the hole and I have been
lying here ever sines.
Nannle'i Visit at Grandma's.
By Mary L. Koewler, 1M Corby St..
Omaha. Red Side.
Nannie had been sick and her parents de
cided to send her to Rocky Nook, the
place where her Grandma Richmond lived.
When Nannie heard this she begsn to
feel well at once. She grew well and
strong and gained ten pounds that very
summer.
One day a queer tblng happened. Nan
nie's grandma lived In a stone house. The
front door opened on a beautiful green
lawn. The aide door opened on a large
yard. Nannie was playing on the grass
with Caesar, a large ehepherd dog, when
she heard music. She ran and peeked
through the hedge. At the corner of the
house wss a little boy playing a flute and
a monkey was danolng.
Nannie went and told her grandma and
they went out on the lawn and her
grandma asked him where he lived and
where he came from.
He said he had no home and that he
earns across ths ocean In a ship. Then
Nannie's grandma said she needed a boy
to feed chickens and carry wood.
So the boy came to live at Grandma
Richmond's and the monkey came, too.
Presence of Mind.
The burglar, having pocketed all the
loose Jewelry In sight, which was not much,
roughly awoke the sleepers.
"I want them diamond earbobs o' youro,
ma'am," he said.
"Plesjie don't tear them out of her ears,"
begged the husband; "I'll detach them and
hand them to you myself."
"All right, sir. Quick, now.."
Subsequently the burglar learned that he
had robbed the dwelling of Prof. Presto,
the magician, and that the professor had
cleverly substituted a pair of glaos Imita
tions for tha diamond earbobs. Chicago

the surprised fellow heard her stamping
hurriedly out of the kitchen. Then ha
heard her bang the street door behind her.
At first Harper smiled: "She thinks I'm a
tough character," he mused. Then, find
ing himself locked In the butler's pantry,
he began calling loudly to his mother.
He did not know thst she had gone across
the street.
In vain did Harper call. No one re

ths gleam of something bright in bis faoe.
It waa the mussls of a revolver. Th dark
form waa that of a policeman. Carry,
arms akimbo, and a look of "An, my man,
I got you," on her face, stood just back of
the policeman.
"Up with your hands and coma out
Tha officer spoke sharply, authoritatively.
Harper obeyed, too dumbfounded to speak
at ths moment- Bat ones In ths lighted
dining room, he smiled, for he thought
ths policeman must recognise him. Hs
knew ths officer wall, for his beat took
In ths block In which Harper lived, and
Harper was In tha habit of p easing a few
words with him of a morning as he went
to school.
"Say, Mr. Folsy, don't you know me?"
asked Harper, just as ths officer waa
heading him toward the front ball.
"Ask no questions, my feller," Instruoted
ths officer. "Go to tha door as I tsll yon.
Miss Carry, open the front door for us."
Carry hastened to obey, saying as aha
went: ."Say, Mr. Foley, If there happens
to be a big reward, don't for git It's mine.
And a nice shsre of it will go to you fer
mak In' ths arrest."
"Sure, my girl," laughad Mr. Foley. "I
think I've got a man we've been lookln'
for a long time. He's In disguise. I'd
know them false whiskers anywhere.
March!"
Harper now saw that he was in a dl
lerana. Hands up over his head, he could
not drag off ths hat and beard to show
the officer who he really was.. The officer
had commanded silence, and the poor boy
was afraid to speak.
But at the door, and just as Carry waa
about to open It, It opened from ths outside
snd In stepped Mrs. Goodman. Shs had no
time to ak questions about the strange
scene transacting In her hall, for before
the policeman or Carry, or even she could
speak. Harper, all fear now gons, had
Jerked off hat and whiskers and was cry
ing out: "Mother, I've been arrested for
being In my masquerade costume."
Well, of all the surprised persons In ths
world, that policeman and Carry were the
moft surprised. Carry stood open-mouthed,
not able to say a word. Mr. Foley shoved
his revolver Into his pocket and tried to
look unembarrassed. Rut his face was
crimson, and he looked like creeping
through the keyhole.
A few words from Harper and everything
was explained. Then Mrs. (ioodman and
Harper laughrd heartily. But the officer
beat a hasty retreat after a look meant to
wither his victim, was directed at tarry.
Ha knew that on the following day he d be
the butt of his fellow officers. Carry,
humbly bogging pardon, snd contending:
"But. Mrs. Goodman, Master Harper
looked like a bloke. Sure an' he did. An'
I thou t tu there d bs a big reward, so I
did."
"You wers In ths right, fines you mis
