The Fro Prince, By Mary I.lppold, Aareri 11 Years, Avoca, la. Bed tlde. One upon a time there lived a king's daughter who was very beautiful. Her father loved her very much and gave her everything she wanted. She had all the playthings you could think of. The play thing she liked best wa a golden ball which her grandmother gave her. On day when she was playing with It by a deep well aha let It fall into the well An ugly old frog jumped up from under the water and said: "I will bring back the ball if you let me sleep on a cushion and eat by you." She promised to do what he said. Then tho frog brought her back her golden ball. Then she went home to eat supper with her father and mother, and aha did. not think of what slfe promised the frog. Whilo she was eating a knock came at the door. "Uttle princess, rome open th door for me." She opened It and there stood the ugly old frog. Then aha told her father the story and her father said she must keep her word. So the frog came In. The little princess was so unhappy he ran up in her room and locked the door. While ah wa thinking, there stood the frog In th corner and said to make a place for him on her nice soft Cushion. She was so angry ha took th frog and threw it against the wall. In stead of an ugly old fiog ther stood a beautiful prince. Then the prlnoe oarn to her and thanked her very much for what ah had don. The princess liked the prlnc much batter than th ugly old frog. 8 he wa sorry that she threw him agalfiat the wall, but th prince said not to b aorry any mor because sh had saved him from being a frog. A wicked old wlxard had changed him Into a frog. Then th prlnc asked her to marry him. They asked tho king about it and he said they might, and so they wer married. They went' to-the prince's kingdom, and ther they lived happily' afterward, and never thought again of th time when the handsome prlnc had been an ugly old frog. - Story of an Oak. By Mary Ftndley. Aged 13 Year. 3601 Lincoln Boulevard, Omaha. Bed Side. In the center of a great forest stood a large oak tree, and the north wind seemed more Intent on blowing it leave and acorn off than on any other tree In the whole forest The north wind was blowing with all his might until all th little acorn cam rattling to th ground. "Oood-by, good-bye." they cried. "good-bye, mother oak." They had not lain on th bar ground for more than three weeks, when a heavy snow fell and covered them over like a blanket Boon they began to push their roots downward and their Uttl leaves upward. Ail winter long they toiled, and when spring came ana melted oil th snow she found them to be about four Inche high. In this manner they grew all sum mer. Wihea winter came, try as he might, he could not cover them with now. so at last he gava up trying. Although It seemed a long, weary time, the little tree did not gtv up trying to be big and strong like their mother used to b. On hundred year later found a new forest of oaks, so Ilk th old on that some folks thought it to be th aarae. except for the position. In thl way th atory la repeated century after century. so that th people may hav wood for their fire and home to live in In corn- fort. An Irish Mail's Trip. Hy Mildred Benson.

I was sent aboard th Christina Bhlp to bring a ray of happlnea to some child on th other aid of th ocean. Th first object that met my gaa against th sunset sky waa th Statu of Lib erty. That uplifted arm In my Imagina tion looked as It It wer either casting a blessing of peace over th dear United tftatea, or else threatening to blow th hip of any enemy to pieces. After sailing a few days, on morning l heard th rry or ' Liverpool!" I wa unloaded tn this great city and later hlppe4 Inland about 400 miles. Christmas eve found tue atajidlua under a large Christmas tre. Santa had not forgotten th Cadoro after all. I later found my new Uttl master's nam wa Jerald Cador. Gerald' father was away at the terrible war. Th Cador lived In a Uttl cottage apon th aid of a high land. As I stood there slowly abov th rugged highland and preotpioea rose th mighty monarch of day, like a great ball of fir one more starting on it long pilgrimage acroa th aky. Th whole valley seemed under a spell cast by night, who can down shrouded lu roUt rr the auu sank behind th hills. Nay! Not th whole valley, for from the uest room i-tme the sound of little bare feet pattering on tho floor. Or tJJ gav on delighted "Oh!" and Winner of Last Week's Doll Contest "tV-.' v ?. A if ( . ;: , - -v-o then crouched on the floor beside me. I can attll see out of the window and the valley waa no longer enshruuued by the mist, and under tho rosy glow cast by the sun It was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. A majestic river flowed at the end and reflected the little oloirds that sailed overhead. I have lived with my new little master now for a month and have learned to love him dearly. That evening as I was standing looking out on the pink and gold river, from the effect of the setting sun, I was very happy to have been sent on this beautiful mission. New Busy Bee.

Chickens Pay the Laundry Bill Some women insist on doing their own washing every week to help out the family income. They know a dollar saved is a dollar made, bo they proceed to economize and begin on the laundry bill. ' But this is solving the problem in the wrong way; don't try to save try to make. It is always easier to work with your head than with your hands besides it more profitable. Think of that big back yard where the week's washing la hung out. Instead of putting out tha washing there next week put out soma chickens. You can easily buy a good etock of hens to start with by In serting a small Want Ad in the "Poultry" column of The Bes. You can locate tha best chickens In town by this method, and gat theu at a low price, too. Then dont forget that if you buy your chickens through a Dee Want Ad. others will buy theirs from you in the same way. Yes, and you can sell the eggs that way also. You caa find customers who will take your entire supply at higher prices than the whoesale house would pay. Consider this it is certainly easier to attend to chickens than it is the laundry.
