her as their own and loved her very
dearly.
When she was 10 years old, her undo
who had been away at sea for years came
home. Now her uncle, Mr. Blake, was a
very rich man and took 'Nan. for that
was the little girl's name, home to live
with him. Of course the made new
friends among tho rloh girls of the town
her uncle lived In. but ehe loved" her old
friends tho best and used to play with
them, although tho rich girls used to
make furi of her for doing so. Nan
would also take the money her undo
would give her to spend on herself, and
ive it all to the Door. One day her
uncle bought h a pair of red shoes.
Poor little Buslo, who never had a pair J
of new shoes In her lire, was so de

The Three Piga.
Ellen Grobeck, 36M yaiiey mreei,
Omaha. Neb. Blue Slde
I will tell you a story about three Ilt
tlo pigs. You must know these pigs
lived In a farm yard. The first little pis
was named Whltey, the second little
pig named Blacky, and the third
' named Browny. The mother pig did not
like Whltey very muoh because It al
ways wanted to play In the mud. 8he
scolded him, but ho would not mind her.
And Blacky was always very selfish
when It was time to eat he would push
the others away; he wanted the most
food. The mother pig scolded him too.
Then came Browny, tho very best ot
all, for 'he was neither dirty nor selfish,
and he was a very nice little pig. Ope
day the mother called them and she
said; I -am getting old. but I .want you
to' be safe; so Sho said, what kind, ot
house do you want, Whltey? 1 want a
mud-house, of course, because. he always
played in the mud. And you. Blacky 1
I want a cabbage House. And you,
Browny? I want a brick house. Good
x for you. said the mother. You'll -be safe

Once upon a time In a bright brass cage
thero lived a little bird named Dlcklo.
He was a very pretty little bird. His

and thero was a spot of white. Around
his neck was a circle of very delicate
lavender colored feathers, which we
called a necklace, und his Ilttlo eyes
were very black and beady and when
you talked to him they looked as If
they understood every word, and Dlckl
wasn't .a lazy bird by any means. He
atd, drank, slept and song. When ho
sang his little throat rose and fell and he
made motions just like a, great opera
singer.

the story of the rebuilding of this city after the Easter tornado. This book is "a companion
to the one issued a few days after the storm, and it has clear, sharp photographs 4x7
inches. They show interesting places in the district as they appeared the day after the tornado
and six weeks later. k
Omaha was wrecked in a few minutes, but the amazing spirit and enter
prise of its people resulted in repairs being made on nearly all the damaged homes within six
weeks after the tornado. No city in the world ever recovered so rapidly from a catastrophe.
