Little Stories
(Prlis Story )
Fint Thanksgiving Day.
By Grace I Moore, Aged 11, Tears,
Silver Creek. Neb. Blue tide.
Many, many years ago. when the Pil
grims and the Indians lived In this coun
try, the Indians showed the white men
how to plant and raise corn.
Although the Pilgrims' winter was very
cold and damp the summer proved to be
very dry., and the Pilgrims' and Indians'
corn suffered for want of rain. So they
; set apart a day of prayer and fasting.
Even the Indians hearing that the white
men were going to pray for rain, watched
! the sky anxiously. Soon a gentle rain
came and then the Indians said that the
i white men's God had heard their prayers,
' too.
j Then there followed ten days' moisture,
and it looked as though there would be
j a plentiful harvest crop for the I II-
grlms. And in November this harvest
was safely gathered.
The Pilgrims felt so grateful for thl
i that they set a day to give thanks te
God, which they called Thanksgiving day,
; After a solemn service they had a great
j feast, which 'ninety Indiana attended At
I this dinner they ate wild turkey, which
' the colonists chot; pumpkin pie and boiled
potatoes, which the colonists raised,
j And ever after they kept this day and
called it "Thanksgiving day.

One evening when I came home from

Then after while I came Into the house,
The folks were all laughing. I looked at

The First Railroad
After 'Lewis and Clark had feund a way
to the Pacifio ocean and the early emi
grants to Oregon, California and Utah
had made the great overland wagon
roads across Nebraska and' on to the
western coast, the people began to want
a railroad to the Pacific. The first rail
road In the United States was built In
1829 at Baltimore. Soon after that a few
people began to talk about a railroad to
the Pacific ocean. It waa a far-off
dream at first. Nowhere In the world
had a railroad ever been built for so
great a distance or over such high moun
tains. Then there were no white people
living along the way, but instead there
were tribes of wild Indiana So those
who spoke of building a railroad to the
Pacific were called dreamers. Very few
thought It was possible to build such a
road and still fewer believed that they
would ever live to see it built.
In 18E0 Senator Benton of Missouri In
troduced a bill In congress to build a
Pacific railroad 'By It the United States
was to g've a strip of land a mile wide
from the Mississippi river to the Pacific
ocean and the railroad was to be built
in the center of the mile strip. More peo
ple began to believe It was possible to
bu'td a railroad to the Pacific. They
began to dispute where it should be
built. Some wanted It built In the south
and some In the north and some In the
central part of the United States. The
dispute was so fierce it seemed that no
road would be built because the people
would never agree upn Its route.
War broke out between the south and
the north in 1861. There was more need
than ever for a railroad to unite the east
with the west. Many surveys had been
made to find the beet route across the
mountains. The Nebraska way, up the
broad, level valley of the Platte, was
ohosen as the best approach to them. On
the first day of July, 1M2, President
Abraham Lincoln signed the bill which
provided for building the first railroad to
the Paclf'c ocean and the first railroad in

A Thanksgiving Story
Margaret Brown, Aged U Years, 1129
South Twenty-eighth Street,
Omaha. Blue Side.
In a certain town there lived a poor
family. One day the children of the
neighborhood were telling what they
were going to have for their Thanks
giving dinner. One little girl said, "V eare
going to have turkey."
The little girl of this poor family said,
"Oh won't that be nice. We have never
been able to have one."
When the rich little girl went home
that night she .old hor father, about It,
so when he 'ordered the turkey, he
ordered two Instead of one and had one
sent over to the poor family. When thess
rich people sat down to their good dinner
they felt happy, to think that they were
making this poor family feel happy, too
They said that was the happiest Thanks
giving they ever had because they knew
that they had made some one else glad.
I would like to see that continued story
in print, written by Edith Kenyon.
A Farewell Party.
By Msry E Orevson, Aged 18 Years,
West Point, Neb. Blue Side.
I am a bobolink. One day while flying
to my ' southern home I stopped In a
meadow, where merry-making children
were having a party. They noticed me
where I was sitting In a tall oak tree and
placed a small paper basket, and filled
with crumbs, and various things. I flew
from my perch, down to it, and enjoyed
eating the crumbs. After finishing my
meal I started on my Journey and left
the voices of the happy children still
ringing "Gocd-by, bobolink, we hope

Nebraska. To help build the road the
United States gave each alternate section
of land for twenty miles on each aide of
the track, and besides this loaned the
company 116,000 for each milo across the
prairie and M8.000 for each mile in the
mountains. The road was called the
Union Pacific and the first shovel of dirt
for Its track waa thrown in Omaha on
December 2. 1SG3.
There were very great hindrances to be
overcome in building the road. A great
war was going on and It waa hard to
get men. All the Iron and most of the
other material had to be shipped long
distances. The Indians on the plains
killed many of the workmen, drove oft
the horses and cattle and burned the star
Uons. It waa July 13, 1865, before the
first rails were laid at Omaha. On March
13, !86, the first sixty miles as far as
North Bend wers completed. During that
year the first trains began running to
Kearney. It took nineteen hours to go
from Omaha to Kearney. It took nine
teen hours to go from Omaha to Kearney,
now Buda, and the fare waa $19. By June,
18S7, the track had been laid as far as
the west line of Nebraska, and on Msy
10, 180, the builders of the Union Pacific
from Nebraska met the builders of the
Central Pacifio from California at Prom
ontory Point on the shore of the Gn at
Bait Lake, Utah, and drove a golden
spike, which completed the railroad and
made a continuous line from the Atlantlo
to the Pacifio ocean.
Since, that time seven other lines have
been built across the mountains to the
western coast, but to Nebraska belongs
the honor of determining the route for
the first Pacific railroad.
Every night and every day great trains
fly along the Platte valley crowded with
passengers for the mountains, the Pacific
coast and the world which lies beyond,
passing on tlielr way the trains loaded
with the teaa, the silks, and the wonder
ful handiwork of Japan, India and China,
the fruit of, California and Oregon, and
the cattle, sheep and minerals from the
mountains. Never a pause In this won
derful proress'on as It hurries over the
Nebraska plains, making them the high
way of the greatest commerce east and
west which the world has ever known.

In a poor little cabin an old man lived
with his wife. One day the man went
' Into the forest to cut firewood. He
rought out a large tree and raised his
axo to strike. That instant the tree spoke
with a human voice, saying:
'lo not cut me old man. Whst you
want 1 will rive."
"Will you make me rich?"
'I will. Oo home. You will have every
thins: you want."
When the old man reaohed home
he found In place of his cabin a large
house well furnished, a full cup, grain
stored up to last for years.
'Where old all this come from?" asked
the old woman.
"You see, wife, off In the forest I found
a tree tnai whatever you asa ror, h

For a few weeks the old couple re

she snld to her husband:

If you were a colonel It would be another

"Make me a colonel."
"Very well. Oo your wav with Ood."
He went home and was appointed col

"What good Is 1 1 this? ' said the woman.

"What do you want?" aeked the tree.
"Make me csar."
"Very well."

him profoundly and said: "Our csar Is
dead. You may fill his place."
'A great affair Indeed to be c.ar. It
