Thompson on the Blue side. MA4JKeSWW (.First Prize.) Robins. By Dorothy M. Tatty, .Aged S Tears. Fre mont, Neb. Red Side. When the robins came to town the flint thing they did was to look for a pood place to build their nest, so they (.hose a Plum tree In our ynrd, quite near the house, and It was very Interesting watch ing them work. Their nest was quite a curiosity, fur they had found great bunches of twine and one sldo of the nest was made almost entirely of the twine. Finally the eggs hatched, and the mother and father bird were kept busy feeding the little ones, but it sremed they were afraid to leave the nest at the sama time, for one of them would stay and watch the little ones until the other one would re turn. When they were old enough to fly they could not go very far or very fast at first, so a little boy going to school caught one, and that made the father and mother bird very angry and thoy flew aroum and made such a fuss that It frightened the boy so much that he put the bird down and ran away. I suppose the little ones have gotten strong enough to look out for themselves for I have not seen them for several days. (Second Prise.) The Debate. By Gladys Thompson, Aged 14 Tears, Wood River, Neb. Illue Side. Mr. Jackson, a middle aged farmer, tired . from his morning's work of plowing, placed I himself in the shade of a pine tree to eat 1 his lunch. After spending half the noon reading his morning paper, a voice was heard over head. It waa the tree speaking! "I am the better," it was heard to soy, "because J shade the men from the hot sun." "Tea, but I help to get the ground ready for the ' next year's ubc," a voice was heard to respond. Listening closer Mr. Jackson came to the conclusion that it was his plow that was speaking. "Why not have a debate?" asked the pine. "Lets Walt for five minutes and then decide who is the most useful to man." The plow agreed. After tha time asked for by the tree had elapsed, the debate began: "I am the better," spoke tho tree, "be cause I shade many tired people from the hot sun." ies, but why would men be tired If it were not for me to tire them?" "You would not be made if it were not for the pine trees of which you are made," spoke the tree. "Well," answered the plow, "1 helped to get the ground ready on which you are plunted and more than that I got the ground ready for tha food eaten by those who planted you." "Yes, but I do more things than maka plows." spoke the tree. "Just think of the things made from pine!" Much of the machinery and oh, so many other that it would be of no use to name. "You will at last die," said the plow. "But I II live longer than you'll last," said the tree and I help people while you're in use and afterwards too." "Yes, but when I'm no longer UHed for a plow. 1 11 be made Into paper or used to kindle a fire." Just then Mr, Jackson awoke and found that he had over slept ao the debate was never finished, flls dream was told and retold, but as yet he has not decided which would have won. (Honorable Mention.) Our Goats and Sheep. By Willie H. Thompson. Aged 11 Years. Wood Ktver, Neb. Hlue Side. I live on a farm about two and a quar ter miles from town. We farm about 400 acres. We have about SM old ewes with lambs. The firm lamb we had was born one cold Saturday evening. We did not find It until the next morning and it was nearly froien or chilled to death. We brought It to the house, gave It a warm bath and wrapped It in blankets and placed It on a chair by the fire until It was warm. When It waa warm we fed it soma milk from a bottle and then took it out to Its mother. It is now roal strong. We have fed a good inuny on bottlea. but have not suc ceeded in keeping any of them. My, but the lambs ara a sight when they get to gether and run up and down the slough. They are nearly as playful as kittens. We gave one to our uncle about two weeks ago. Ho has been feeding it on a bottle and It is still alive. I have a goat named Snowball, and my brother has one which he calls Nannv. His goat will drive pretty well, but I am Just training mine. He does not drive quite so well. They will Jump a fence which is about ten feet high. We sheared them hut spring and their wool is Just conUng on asaln. They will crowd like a mule. I had rather have mine because Ma horns spread as they go up and tha horns on my brother's goat are straight. Ia the Attic. Oy Magdalena Conrad. Aged IS Tears Wood Klver, Neb. Ued Side.

All they could find at first was an old broken gun, which they played with for nearly an hour, when all at once Carrie fell against a trunk and the lid flew open. She and Paul began at ones to unpack It and see what they oould find. AH they found, though, waa a tet of oM-fashloned clothes and a few papers and at the very bottom a big doIL Carrie waa very delighted when she saw it and hurried right downstairs to show it to her mother. Mrs. McOoy, for that was Carrie's mother's name, came Immediately upstairs to look at the trunk. She said it had belonged to her great-grandparents. The papers in it were found to be quite valuable. She said Carrie could play with the doll until she could get her another. When Paul went home they declared they had had a very happy day and they had forgotten all about the rain. Greece and the Greeks. By Mildred Wohlford, Aged S Years. K22 South Thirty-third (Street. South Omaha, Neb. Red Side. The ancient Oreeks were a very wonder ful people. They lived on a sunny penin sula in southern Europe. Their land waa Interspersed with every thing beautiful. Indeed, everything about them waa so charming that the Greeks thought more of beauty than of all things else. Their minds were filled with poetry. They thought that everything was caused by some God. As we know from our geogra phies this world is a ball flying around the sun, but the Greeks thought it waa round The ' Shadow Fairy of Rock Gulch NL'GLT hidden between two pre S cipitous mountalna was a deep gorge which was known ai "Hock Gulch." At the foot of one of the mountains stood a little rock house. Behind the house were stablea for horses and cows. Another pen a little way from that sur rounding the rough house held a dozen or more swine. A well-tilled field ran up the mountain side, growing grapes and other fruit. A garden patch extended lower down, filled with growing vegetables. Three persons lived In this rural habita tion, a man and wife and an orphan child. Tho man and woman were dark-browed Italians, the child a sunny-haired, blue eyed boy of 10 years. Where the black browed Italians had picked up the falr halrcd boy none could say. Of a sudden one day some of the far-off neighbors hap pened to bo passing that way and saw the child at work in the garden, planting seeds. When they asked the Italian, whose name was Tony Hatl, where the child came from, ho shook hla head, replying, "Only the curious ask questions." And he gave no in formation concerning the little chap whom they called Peppo. But Peppo could remember something better than the harsh black-browed Italian and his wife. He could remember a sweet faced mother and a mild, blue-eyed father. But both had died in that southern land, foreign to their own country. And Peppo had been taken core of by the aged woman in whoso villa his parents had been stay ing when illness and death overtook them. And so several years had gone by, when one day the black-browed Tony who proved to be the old woman's son came to pay his respects to his mother and de manded money of her. Seeing the orphan boy whom his aged mother quite wor shiped, for here waa a kind heart he aald:, "Ah, mamma mlo, I'll take with me the boy. Ho'H grow up to be like my own son " In vain did the aged woman plead with her wicked son to spare the child to her, promising to give him all tha gold she had if he would but honor this, her dearest wish. "I am an old woman." walled she, "and the child is like an angel te me. He has no mother or father. I try U be both to him. I pray you, do not rob me of my ray of sunshine. But the son Tony, who had never loved his good, old mother, and who had given her much trouble, carried away, not only all her gold, but tha boy also. But Peppo (las heard everything that passed between Tony and the good old woman, and his heart waa heavy at parting.

Omaha, Blue Side Commodore Oliver H. Perry was born August 23, 17S5, at South Kingston, R. I. When 24 years old he joined the American navy and at the beginning of the war of 1812 he Was transferred from the command of a division of gunboats on the Atlantic coast to serve under Chauncey on Lake Erie. This was done at his own request. He built a fleet on the lake in a short time and drilled his new men well. At the head of the flagship Lawrence he placed a blue flag with the words "Don't give up the ship" on it. These were the words of Iawrence, after whom his flag ship was named. He met the fleet of the British, which was about the aame slsa of his own. The British fired mostly at the Lawrenoe, which was soon in a bad condition, with only a few men on board. Perry, however, taking his flag with him, iwent In a small boat to the Niagara, which went In among the enemy. In fifteen minutes the British had sur rendered, with 200 killed and wounded, while the Americans had 122 killed and wounded. This was the first time the whole British squadron bad surrendered to an enemy. Terry's dispatch announcing the victory as she kissed him. "And I'll bring back your gold, too." And from that day, which had been two years before the time of this story, Penpo had kept a close watch over a great brass box which waa kept under the flat rock- hearth In front of the fireplace Ih he house at the foot of the mountainside. In that brass box the child had watched, un- observed, Tony and his wife place tho gold which the former had stolen from hla aged mother. Many days, aa Peppo worked like a little slave in the garden, and ran with feed and water to the swine and cows, he kept think- Ing over and ever: "I must get away from here. I must return to grammy. She Is lonely without me. Next to mamma and papa, she is dearest to me. And she Is poor now, since this wicked man has robbed har of her gold. And aha is too old to work." And at night, as Peppo lay In his miserable pallet-bed in the kitchen, he planned and planned. "I shall have to get the brass, box from under the hearth and run away. I shall ask questions along the loadside, and people will set me right, for all know where the villa of rtnetl is." But one night Peppo could not sleep. He was much worried, for that day Tony had opened the box of gold and taken out scv- eral coins, going off to the fair to buy an- other cow. And Peppo feared lest he would PEPPO WENT TO THE Licking you are In a position to get it. place me ofer your knee In a position to was as follows: "We have met the enemy and they are ours; two brigs, two ships, one schooner, one sloop." He was rewarded with the rank of cap tain. He stayed In the navy until his death, which occurred on the Island of Trinidad, August 23, 1819. A Tramp in' the Woods. By Grace Sur. Aged 12 Years, 2S08 A Street, South Omaha. Blue Side. One day in April a few girls and I de cided to go to the woods, which were a mile away. We chose Saturday for the day of our tramp. Saturday came with Its beautiful warm sun and clear sky. We started in the morning and took our lunch. When we arrived at the woods we were very hungry and ate our lunch. After that we started to gather violets, Johnny-Jump-ups, fern leavea and sweet Williams. There were robins and bluejays. The robins seemed to be everywhere. There was one robin which came to our lunch and ate the crumbs which we fed it. He was building a nest in a tree nearby and we watched it for quite awhile. The blue Jays flitted from tree to tree, making their peculiar noise. We went down to the spring and watched the water run over the mossy rocks and into the lake. We arrived home very sleepy and Urod. A Dream. By Margaret Foldcn, Aged 11 Tears, SOU - Jackson Street. Blue Side. A little boy had been told to go to the store, but he said he was too tired, SO he lay in the hammock and fell asleep. His mother went to the store. He dreamed that his mother told him to go to the store and he didn't go and she went to the store and got some things he liked very much and she would not let him have any of the things, because he had not gone to the store for her. Just then he woke up and saw his mother coming home from the store and his uncle with her. She got lunch and he got everything he wanted. The Thief. Munch. Aged 12 Years, 2618 South By Clay Eleventh Street, South Omaha, Hen erne. One night some one stole a farmer's best horso out of his stable. The farmer rode fifteen miles to the horse market to buy another ono. But as he looked around he saw his own horse. He grabbed it by the bridle and cried out, "The horse is mine; apend all old grammy'a gold. 8o he lay awake, and worried till past midnight. Then he arose and slipped into his clothes end crept from the house going up the mountainside to the verge of Rock Gulch. peppo always loved the gulch by day, and it was grander by night aa the shadows deepened it. Long Peppo stood, looking down into the gulch. Then, as he was about to turn and retrace his steps to tho house, he saw a deep shadow a tiny one ' moving along the border of the gully to- wards him. He did not feel afraid, but ha WBg moBt curious, for there was nothing visible to make the moving shadow. A moon above shed a splendid light every- wnere. A th8 tlny Bnndow came near to Peppo it g(0ppe)j. Then a voice spoke: "I am the shadow Fairy, and know you are In trouble, Wnat can , A'0 tor yo uttle manr.

It isn't your horne. It Just looks like your horse." The farmer quickly held his hands over both the horse's eyes and cried out: "Well, If you have had the horse a year already, tell me In which eye IS he blind." The man that stole the horse got afraid and he raid In the left eye. The farmer cried out, "It Is a lie." The man said then In the right eye. The farmer took his hands off and said, "Now we know that you are a thief. Now see here, the horse Isn't blind; I only asked to show that he stole the horse." The people that stood around laughed and clapped their hands. They put the man In prison. A ri&hing; Party. By Pearle Davis. Aged 10 Years. Fullerton, Neb. Ited Side. Ona Saturday some other children and myself went Into the country fishing. As we were walking through an alfalfa patch one of the boys stepped on a little baby rabbit and hurt it so badly that he had to kill It. We reached the place at last and we be gan to get our poles ready at once. After we had fished for about an hour we girls got dinner ready and we ate. After we had finished eating we crossed to the other side of the pond. The fish would bite as soon as we threw our lines In. We caught fifty-two fish in all. On our way home we gathered flowers. When we got In town everybody admired our fine string of fish and asked us where we got them. Advice. By Merl Dahle, Aired 12 Tears, Spanish Fork, Utah. Blue Side. "Mamma,'' said Hilda, "can I go over to Leona's to play?" "No dear," said mamma, "you have Just been playing." "I am going to go," said she to herself. "I'm going to play with Leona." When her mamma went in the house she crept through the hedge and went to Leo na's home. Leona waa playing in the barn with her dog. Just the day before Hilda threw a Btone at htm. When he saw her getting in the loft he darted after her. She fell out of the barn door and cut her head. She went home to tell her mamma about It, but she only said: "Well, my little girl, I am aorry you were hurt, but it was all your fault. If you would listen to me you would not get hurt." Hilda always remembered what her mamma told her and never ran aray again. LIFE OF HARRIET B EEC HER How Her Father Inspired Hla Chil dren and Helped Their Ambitions. Never waa a father more looked up to by his children than waa Lyman Beecher, the father of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mra Stowe mentions especially his power of ex citing family enthusiasm. "Whenever he had a point to be carried or work to be done he would work the whole famljy up to a pitch of fervent seal, in which the strength of each seemed quadrupled. "For instance, the wood for the family used to be brought In winter on ox aleds and piled up in the yard exactly over the spot where father wished to plant his cucumbers and melons. Of course, as all this wood waa to be cut and split and car ried into the woodhouse before the garden could be started It required a miracle of generalship to get It done, considering the Immense quantity of wood required to keep an old windy castle of a house com fortable In winter weather. "The axes would ring and the chips fly, the Jokes and stories would fly faster, till all was out and split. Then came the great work of wheeling In and piling." Harriet would work like one possessed, gold la bidden and take it from beneath the stone dearth and put it In a safe place here in the gulch. Then, when you are ready to start, you will find It In the spot I designate." "Oh, thank you, good Shadow Fairy. I shall start as soon aa you can get the Sold," cried Peppo eagerly, his face alight with happy anticipation, "I'll ge down the gulch towards morning when sleep ia heavy upon Madam NatL Yu see, I know that her husband Is from home, and that he took some of the stolen g"'d with him. But he shall put bis fingers 1" the brass box no more. The gold will disappear before his return." Then Peppo hastened back to the bouse and lay down to sleep. He was In deep slumber when the Shadow Fairy entered y the window, lifted the stone hearth by touching it with her wand, and disappeared as she had come, with the braas box under her arm. At daybreak, Peppo was aroused from his slumber by Madam Natl call'ng to him. He bounced from bed and ran to the spring for a pall of water. Then he bathed his face and hands In a great wooden trough outside the door. After breakfast, Madam Natl told him to work In tha garden. As soon as be had gone from the house, the wicked woman went to the fireplace and lifted the edge of the stone hearth. She thrust one band beneath to ascertain whether the brass box with Its rich treasure waa safe. To her astonlsh- ment. the hole which alwaya held the box waa empty. Madam Natl flew into a rage, accused her husband of having taken the treasure away with him, and deceiving " i'""" i" " " " r In a frantle way. "He has taken all the '1 and made off with It. But I'll follow him and have my share. He's a thief a thief! I'll have him taken Into custody." BRASS BOX OF GOLD. The BEES Junior A-.-jl HI MW n ii iu, i n w N i JANE KENNEDY, 3014 Miami Street.

Then she would, throw away her book, or her needle and thread, and, donning a little black coat which she thought made her look like a boy, she would try to outdo all the rest till the wood was all In and the chips swept up. Frequently Mr. Beecher would raise a point of theology and start a discussion, taking the wrong or weakest side himself, to practise the youngsters in logic. If the children did not make good fhelr side of the case he would stop and explain to them the position, and say "The argu ment Is thus and so! Now, if you take thts position you will be able to trip me up!" Thus raving like a mad woman, Madam Natl prepared herself to follow her hus band to the fair which was being held in a village ten miles distant. As soon aa Madam Natl had disappeared round the rock point of a hill, Peppo ran to the sheds and turned the cows and horses into the pasture where they might feed upon the grass and drink from the spring brook. Then he placed plenty of feed In side the pen for the swine, filled their troughs with water, and departed. He knew what had taken Madam Natl to the fair she had missed the gold! And ha knew her husband would hasten home with all possible speed, knowing that he had not carried away the treasure. Peppo knew the couple well enough to fear a great fight between them, for that Madam Natl would accuse her husband of foul play, he did not doubt. And that Tony would return to ac cuse his wife of having removed the gold during his absence, and of having hidden it elsewhere, so that he might not lay hands on It, Peppo fully realized. So he knew he must put as many miles between himself and the wicked Natls as possible. So he started up the mountainside, going to the place beside the gorge where he had talked with the fairy. On drawing near, the shadow advanced to meet him. "Oo to the great brown ro&k. look beneath Its edge and find the box covered with leaves and moss." So spoke tha Shadow Fairy's voice. "And, my son. take this as a safe guard against harm." And before Peppo there fell a tiny bit of wood Just resembling a ahlttled bit of stick. Peppo took it up, placed it Inside his blouse, and .turned to ask the Shadow Fairy how to use it when he saw she had faded from sight. "Ah." said Peppo. "She has departed. But she has done all that she could do. Bo from this minute I must think of myself." So saying, Peppo went to the great brown box and found tha brass box of gold. He secreted It Inside a little traveling bag he had put some clothing into, hung the bag over a stout stick and went up the moun tainside. The day was fair, but before nightfall, clouds gathered. Once a wild animal came into his path, and remember ing the tiny stick he carried Inside his blousa, be quickly took It out and wavod it round his head. Instantly flashes of lightning minded his eyes. Then a heavy pal of thtrnder shook the earth. When tha lightning and thunder bad subsided, Peppo saw the wild animal a dangerous one lying dn&d In hla path. "Ah, the good Shadow Fairy gave me a wand!" he crtod. "And I muit una It with caution." But he knew that he waa now aafe In the face of any danger. Bo he went on and on, coming te a hermit's but at night. There ha beg ged lodging and food. The hermit gave him both, askmg no queatlona. In the morning, bar ore the hermit was awake, Peppo anew te depart. But he bethought BirthdayBook This is aSte Day We Cewbraie Juno 4, 1911. School.

So he waa about to place a copper coin of small value In the table when he remem bered once again the wand. Taking It out Of his breast, he touched the copper coin, and it became a gold coin of great value. Then, feeling happy that the hermit who Was very poor would find himself quite, rich that day, Peppo went on hla way. Ha met a wayfarer on the top of the long range, and asked for directions as to how he might find Villa Rosetl. The aged man turned and pointed into a valley, far, far below. "A day's Journey, son, right down that mountain," he replied. "At the foot you will come to a lane. That lane will lead you to good Mother Natl's villa. All the countryside loves the old lady as they hate her wicked son." Then the aged trav eler turned and pursued his way. Peppo followed the directions the old man had Indicated, and aoon found himself far down the mountain. That evening just as old Mother Natl was lighting a candle in the pretty living room of her villa a tap came at the door. She hastened to open the door, and) lo! thero atood her long-lost Peppo. "The gods be praised!" cried Grammy Natl, clasping the little traveler In her arms.
