My Bide.
By Mildred Jens, Aged 10 Years. 1303
Hayes Street, Columbus, Npb.
Red Side.
One spring morning ss I was playing
In tho garden, watering my flowers, my
uncle Edward wanted us to go on a trip,
so we went. As wo were passing tho
ocean I saw a boat and as I watched it
I saw a. little girl leaning overboard until
she fell ovor. When wo reached Africa,
one very hot afternoon, we went Inlo
the Jungle. I wanted figs and cocoanuts.
When my mother was not looking I went
Into ,a negro hut and was frightened by
the black faces and so many red lips. I
ran out of the hut. After a week we
went to Europe and met my young cousin.
Then we went to Asia nnd brought my
grandmother and grandfather back to
America again. 1 was very glad when 1
reached home. That was the very first
time 1 had a rldo In an nlrshlp. 1 won't
c' look at Mr. WasteiPapor "Basket at all.

Little Brother's Runaway.
By Bessie Erlckson, Aged 13 Years,,
Naper, Neb. Bluo Side.
One Sunday last fall mamma and papa
went to visit. My two brothers, aged 9
and 10, hitched up a team and drove
across the river to pick grapes and took
by little baby brother along. They drove
down to the brush where the grapes
were and tied tho team to a tree and
left little brother In the buggy because
he waB barefooted. They picked three
buckets of grapes and started back to
the team, but It was gone. My little
brother had untied the horses, got into
tho buggy and started the team.
Some of the neighbors were picking
grapes, too, and saw "the team starting
to run. They got Into their buggy and
started after. They thought they could
get ahead of the team that woo running
away,but they could only see the dust.
AVhcnlhey crossed the river to our house
they found first the buggy broken and
the team gono. My brother was sitting
on a stump laughing. He told them he
had a fast ride. Ho was only past 3 years
old, Tho boys were frightened and
emptied the grapes on the ground. My
oldest brother said, "I will never again
hitch up a team when, mamma and papa
ere not at home."

The Proud laiy.
By Marie Kuhry. Aged 12 Years, Schuy
ler. Neb. Red Side.
Long, long ago there grew up a proud
lily as white M now with a beautiful
yellow pjstll and with Its face looking
tralght up to the clear, blue sky. too
proud to bend Its lovely head to look
at Its little sisters who grew around It.
' "Oh, dear lily," cried the little pansy
one day, "why are you so proud? You
sever even ask any of us how we are
feeling. Won't you look down and see
how beautiful my colors are this morning-?"
But the proud Illy never heeded
the little pansy.
A butterfly come along and while
resting Its beautiful velvet wings on the
lily, It said, "Good morning, dear Illy:
you are so very prou'd and hold your
head so high that I fear to come to
visit you often. Why la It?"
"Indeed I am proud, I am beautiful.
I would not think of bending my pretty
head for anything. I wish always to
Brow tall and stately, looking right up
to the sky. I hop I shall never have
to bend my head like other flowers."
But the little butterfly said, "You are
too proud," and flew away.
pne day It grew dark and dreary, the
lightning flashed, the thunder roared,
the earth trembled and shook and
everything bowed its head In sorrow,
ven the proud lily slowly drooped its
head, for It was filled with grief. When
Easter morning came and everything
shone out bright and beautiful, the lily
stood with Its head still bowed.

An Experiment.
By Quentln R. Knoohson. Aged 11 Years,
Schuyler, Neb. Red Side.
One 8unday a neighbor boy came over,
we talked for a white then George
thought about the shotgun shells In his
pocket. Then my two brothers, Ken
neth. Victor and George went to shoot
some blue rocks. After all the shells
were gone, Kenneth went to get some
ncndr. They took a shell and punched
the cap out and filled the shell with 1
powder and put a fuse In the hole where j

It did not go off. Then they tried other
experiments, i
Soon someone went by our house and
as our hoses were there, one Jumped over
the fence and 1 was sent to drive him
In again.
When 1 came back, they had another
fuse In the shell. Kenneth lit It once,
but he didn't think It would go off, so
hs lit the fuse again, but he Just got
his hand away, when It wont off. Th
shell flew abcut sixty feet.
The powder tlint was left they put in
the gun barrel. George shot It off, It
kicked so hard the gun flew out of his
hands and he staggered back. The gun
It-rated open, up as far as the powder
was. He hurt his finger very seriously,
He went Into the house to wash It, then
he went home. He rang up that evening
and said It was not as bed as It looked,
but It hurt the gun very much.
Tom and His Dog.
By Vera Dunn, Aged U Years, SSW Hamil
ton Street, Omaha. Blue Side.
When Tom was born his mother and
father were poor and his father had to
work.. When Tom was a tew years older
he was going to the store when he saw a
dog lying In tne 'street. Tom went over
to see It the dog was alive. H was, so lie
took It home. One day, after Tom's
father got work as a milk carrier, Tom's
dog acted as if he would like to help him
with something, so the man put a dog's
harness on him and hitched the dog to
the milk cart to pull it and deliver milk.
When they were about homo the dog's
master was very tired and lay down in
the oart to rest Fortunately, the dog
knew the way back and brought him
safely home. When his master awoke
he found himself In the cart held up by
the faithful dog. Ever since then Tom
called him "Faithful" for being so kind
to his father to pull his heavy weight
Now the doc still will pull the milk cart
every day. Tom's sister was very fond
of the dog and neither of them would
part with him for anything. The dog's
master would never make him go fast
unless the dog wanted to. No one could
buy this dog. though many tried.
Playful Prince.
By Myrtle Bloom, Aged 10 Years, Wood
River, Neb. Blue Side.
Dear Busy Bees: This Is my first let

Papa has several horses, among them
one whloh we call Prince. He Is very
playful. One evening papa wont to milk
and could not find hie milking stool. After
looking around for some time he found It
on the other side of the water tank. Of
.course he thought some, of the children
carried it away, but the next evening, to
his surprise, he saw old Prince with his
milking stool in his mouthpunchlng an
other horse In Its back. That Is not the
only trick he does, He will catch hold
of one of the sheep's hind legs and hold
It up In the sir till he gets tired and then
he lets go. Then he turns right around
and gets some other horse by the tall
and drives It wherever he wants It to go.

For sight long ytere the spltter hss been

more games In one eeeson than any pitcher
of modem times. It helped me to do my
share in on American Leegue Championship,
one World's Championship and In two series
of games for the Championship of Chicago.
Having thoroughly mattered control of this
style of twirling, I have, for many year,
been able to go In and finish (and aometlmet

time devoted to "warming up," and I count
this one of the very valuable features of tha
spit ball. The Changs from a (ast ball, a
curve or a cross firs (left-handed), le so radi

most dengeroua opponents If on hat con

how to pitch. Knowing how doee not avail
much In our league unless one can go out
to the slab and deliver. That le what the
manager wants and what the people come to
