A Pleasant Journey.
By Mildred White. Aged 14 Years,
D00I
Chicago street.
Herberta closed her eyes with a' sigh
for she had, played hard all day and so
,waa very tired. In a few minutes she was
tost asleep and dreaming.
Bho thought she felt a light tap on her
shoulder and she awoke to behold a little
personage, who Introduced himself as.
Prince Grcencheeso."
"Ah, I see you are tired," he said, "and
need a rest, so to pay for my interrupting
your slumbers, I will take you for a ride
In my aeroplane, 'which' I trust will be
a pleasant one."
By this time Herberta was all ready
to start
"But you must havo some goggles to
protect your eyes," and 'he gave her a
pair. "I want you to know," he said,
"that I am the most graceful ot all our
people."
Just then he stumbled and fell.
"Well." said Herberta, "If you lived
on earth you would' be' considered very
ill bred to mention the fact at least" '
"No time to argue," said .Prince Green
cheese, "for we are due at Morsovla by
11 p. m. sharp.".
Bo they stepped Into the aeroplane, or
rather Prince Oreencheeso (the most
prace ful of all their people) tumbled In.
"All aboard," said Prince, Qreencheose,
and they mounted higher and higher.) On
and on they went, post stars and planets.
"While we are on our way-1- will give
you a little of the biography of 'our peo
ple. "My father 18s the ruler of Hhe Moon
Kingdom, and a very good one he is, too.
"It you are hungry, I fear we cannot
atop here, because all our people and
sky-scrapers are made of green cheese.
"While our furniture Is mado of varl
pus kinds of cakes and '-candy.
"Once one of father's subjects brought
somo hungry strangers, who devoured
half a doxen of our best citizens, so. we
are cautioned to be careful who we
bring." , .s .
Just 'then there' was a loud cry from a
nearby planet, Morsovla. and Prince
Greencheeee knew that they, wjould .soon
arrive .' j. y.. -,
But all of a sudden there was a iS
and Herberta awoke .tO'41nd,jtp her; dis

A Visit
By Charlotte Coolldge. Aged 11 Tears, 72
Railroad Avenue, Uead, S. D. Blue Side.
Tho last part ot vacation we went to
epearflsh canyon. There We went 'to. a
cabin of a friend. There Was another
family there and we hd lots of tun.
The boys had built a little wigwam and
we had lots of fun thero. We were there
almost! all the time. We built a little fire
there.
One night It was quite cool and we hod
a fire In the fireplace. We roasted apples
and popped corn. Then wes sat down
and told stories. We slept outdoors every
night The moon was beautiful and there
was a high rock above the cabin, and
When the moon shone on it it was beauti
ful. The next day we went fishing. Arthur
had gone up the stream a way when he
called, and there was a snake with a tiny
fish In his mouth.
The stream is very clear and you can
Bee the fish swimming about
After we had been there a few . days
we had to go home, as It was time for
school, and I was very sorry.

Billy Bumps and Dolly Dingle were
walking down the broad driveway Which
led out of' Dingle Dell, when, all at bnce.
they heard a timid mew from the bushes.
What do you think tyey saw? The
sweetest little kitten, all dressed in cloths
like Dolly's.
How surprised tbey were when the kit
ten walked up and said, "My name Is
Kitty Cutle and I live over there. But
my marmar went "6ut and never came
back."
Billy and Dolly took hold of the kitten's
hands and took her home with them,
Dolly's pretty mamma had a room fixed
for Kitty Cutle and she was soon in bed.
In a few moments- she was slumbering
sweetly in a very pretty pink and white
and gold room.
Perhaps you would like to get ac
quainted with Dingle Dell. It ia a largo
stone house, with large verandas and
large stone steps. There is a wide drive
way leading down to the stone gate. On
either side of the drive are shrubbery and
bushes. Now and then a smaller drive
way leads oft Into delightful places. At
the end ot one. Is a pond;, at another a
fountain. It Is a cuptd, carrying on Its
head a basket which has flowers In It.
The water falls down over the flowers
and over cupld.
In the center ot the pond is a spray,
and In the pond are some gold fish. Dolly
Dlpgle feeds these fish every morning.
Mom. Beck, her colored nurse, stands by
and watches to see that she does not
feed the gold fish too much.

Into tho cabinet Both boys were watch
ing her and when she turned her back a
minute Ous got Into the yolks and before
you could wink your eye he was covered

"The First Christmas,"
By Helen Reynolds. Aged 11 Tears, Box
11. Niobrara, Neb. Red Side.
One day, long, long ago, there -were
some shepherds herding their flocks of
sheep away up on the mountain side.
They herded day after day until ono
night as they were sitting on the top of
the hill watching the .sheep they saw a
light waj up hi the sky that they- had
never seen before. They wondered jrhat
It was. It. did not look much Bke a light
but like a large ball of fire. They heard
the angels sinning, which they had never
beard before. The angels seemed to be

all meant till the glad message was
brought to them. The angel voices said
there was a child born that night In a
manger at Bethlehem. The shepherds
.went at once and followed the star until
they came to a large barn at Bethlehem,
where the star stopped. Thero they
found the little Christ child. They
brought many presents for the llttlo
child with them, which made him very.
happy. The shepherds sent for wise men
and soon the glad news spread all over.
And now the Christ child Is trying to
make every man, woman and child good
kind, happy and gentle. After that
night when Christ was born, which was
tho SSth 'day of December, that day has
been always called Christmas, becauso
it was Christ's birthday. Ever after that
day people give each other presents, and
that Is how we celcbrato It each year.

and tired of watting the guest they were
waiting for, one of the tornado family,

He seemed to have been In a great
hurry, for he was all out of breath.
"Now," said Mrs. Winter, "Just as
soon as Mr. Rain Cloud arrives we will
be all ready to go and surprise my hus
band."
They had to wait again for Mr. Rain
Cloud, At last he came.
"I forgot all about the party until Just
a few minutes ago," he said.
'I had a big load of rain and It was
very hard to carry, so I left a good deal
of It behind."
i They had a good deal of fun In sur
prising old Father Winter, and then they

The Story of a Cent.
By Reva Rosseter, Aged 10 Years, Valen
tine. Nfb,. Box 834. Blue Side.
In a big bank In New Tork, in the
great safe, there were hundrod-dollar
bills and large sums of money, and in a
aarsr comer a llttlo penny hid.
One day the hundred-dollar bill eald:
"Humph, look look here," and ha
pointed out the cent to another hundred-
dollar bill, "why, what business haa he
mero7" The cent looked ashamed. Not
many daye after the penny was glvqn to
a poor old lady. Bhe took the penny and
gave it to the baker for a loaf of bread.
and then the penny was given to a man
for change. The man was going away
ana he dropped me into the suit case.
When he opened It I dropped out and
a little girl,, whose name was Bertha,
found me. When she got off the train
she got on a ship and after .awhile I
was on land again.
I was -In a strange land and I was
given to a -storekeeper for candy. And
although a good penny In America, he
seemed to think ma counterfeit Then,
after a few days, I was given to another
old lady. She (to make my color dif
ferent) put mo in vinegar. There I stayed
for many days. At last I didn't seem
much good, so she punched a hole In me
and put -a string In the hole and hung
me on a little boy's neck. Next I was
Klven to the man that lost me and he
took me back to American.
One day he lost me In the sand and I
haven; t been found since.
So, you see, a penny goes through many
hands.

New Busy lee.

South Eighth Street, Omaha Nob.
Dear Editor: I wish to Join the Red
Bide. I bad an experience in .the Omaha
hurricane on May 14, 1918. I went out
roller skating, but found no one out so I
went to a friend's house. We were en-
Joying ourselves at the piano when it
came time to go home. I and my friend
went out to the street, and a girl friend
came across to show us her now silver
pocketbook. When I looked up and saw
the sky looked as If a blaok cloud, and
soon It began to roar and come faster,
leaving a seemingly mass ot fire behind,
I began to run. When I got to our gate
at 2003 South Eighth street, I met my
grandmother and, frightened, she said,
Get Into the cellar or on tho ground as
quick as you can; It's another tornado."
I ran into tho house, threw my skates
down and ran Into the cellar, taking the
southwest corner. I had Just got seated
when a largo plank, flying through the
air, struck the house, and f put my head
to the window In time to see tho plank
blown toff and a bird's nest taken from a
tree and set on our sidewalk. Arter it
was over grandma 'and I went back up
stairs to find that the chimney and roof
was all riant but the fenco de.wn. I hap
pened to think to look for the nest, but
instead of a nice nest there was a flat
tened, pulled to pieces mass ot feathers,
rags and other stuff, laying on the side
walk, caused to be so by the hall and
rain. I believe Omaha needs some of
these kinds ot destroyers.

Elizabeth, Aunt Dinah haa 'come and
haa brought her little girl with her and
you may go out and play with her."
Now, Dinah was an old negro woman
who used to cook for them and had re
turned to pay them a visit
To have some one to play with was an
uncommon thing to Elizabeth.
Soon Elisabeth came back to her
mother. "Oh, mamma, Dinah's girl Is
black."
"But, Isn't Dinah black, tooT"
"Tes, but sho Is much older."
"Never mind; Dinah's girl Is a well be-
haved little girl, and Is Just as good as If
she were white."
Soon Elizabeth was back with her black
playmate.
What makes, you black V asked Eliza
beth to Sarah, which was the negro girl's
name.
"t don't know." she replied.
"Did you ever try to wash It offr
Elizabeth asked.
"Tes, but It don't do no good," Sarah
replied.
"Let me try it," said Elizabeth, going
for a pan of water and soap and sand.
Soon she returned and began scrubbing
with' all her might. Sarah screamed, for
It hurt her so. Elizabeth's mother came
running upstairs, two steps at a time.
Elizabeth is a young lady now and
often laughs at her attempt to wash the
colored girl.
