Washiru Dishes.
"OIi, how I hate to wash dishes!"
exclaimed Elinor. "It seems jusl
like as soon as you get the dishes
washed for one meal you have to
turn around and wash the next
meal's dishes."
"Dear, dear," said her mother.
"That is no mood to be in. Why
don't you learn to like to wash
dishes? Send them all to a party and
give them a good time once in a
while."
"Take them to a party," cried
Elinor. "Why mamma, dishes cant
go to a party."
"Yes they can," asserted mother.
"Yes they can."
"How?" was the inquiry.
"Well," continued mother, "the
glasses should always be washed
first, so we will have them give '.he
party. The rest of the dishes are
guests and their best dresses must
be brought out and washed and
polished.. You must be sure their
dresses are clean, because no .erne
likes to go to a party with a dingy
dress. After the party the dishes
must be placed in their own special
places, because no person likes to
live in anybody else's place."
So the game began and the dishes
were washed with utmost care and
sent to the party on the kitchen
table. They were soon done and
Elinor exclaimed, "Dishes are like
some people. You have to learn to
like them." Margaret ,Yoder, Aged

The Doll Party.
It was during the last week of
school that Miss Wynn decided to
give a doll party for her class of lit
tle girls, ranging from 6 to 8 years of
tier
She decided to nave it on
Wednesday, so when she announced
it Tuesday afternoon there was
quite a bit of buzzing going on in the
class as to which doll each one would
bring Every one was happy except
Betty, who knew sne woum vc
doll to bring, as her mother was ill
and her father was by no means rich
and the money he earned had to go
for necessities,
In the class there was a kindlittle
girl named Carrie. Carrie noticed
that Betty looked sad and asked her
why she was not happy like the rest
of the girls. "I have no doll and
don't dare to ask papa for one," Bet
tv replied.
'That night when Carrie went home
she told her mother about Betty
and said, "May I give her one of my
dolls? I have more than I r.eed. "Cer
tainly you may, Carrie," replied her
mother. The next day when Betty
came to school she found a pretty
doll on her desk with a note pinned
to it, "From a friend." Betty was
very happy, but I think Carrie was
still happier to think she had made
Betty so happy. Virginia Stephen

Two Disobedient Boys.
There were once three boys who
were brothers. The youngest one
was a very good boy .v His name was
lfred Alfred's brothers were not
Kood'boys. Their names were
Robert and John. Robert and John
did not go home from school
promptly. They would go a long
vvav around the road, where they
could see nice fruit or candies. Al
fred did not want them to go this
road, but he did not like to go
alone, so he went with them. One
night, as they were coming home
from school, they passed a grocery
store in which they saw some nice
oranges. Robert said, "Let us take
three oranges when Tony is busy
and .does not see us."
"NV said Alfred, "that would be
stealing." Robert and John just
laughed- at him and teased him. Al
fred did not like to be teased, so
he ran home quickly. Robert and
John did not care, so they stole
oranges and many things. This made
thern sick, men mey went iwure
.clt They did not get any supper.
The next morning Attred went to
school, but Robert and John did
not, because they were sick. The
next day they went to school again,
but came home right away aftei
school. They learned a lesson and
would not steal any more.-Helena

Sandman, so they stole his Magic

the air. There were several other
planes up. They were sailing
leisurely along when bump they al
most ran into another plane. They
dodged and swooped down to avoid
hitting two or three other planes. In
thpv went into some tall
trees and put the left wing out of
order. So they had to land, ihey
found they could soon fix it and in
half an hour had joined tne otner
planes. They stayed up until it was
getting late, and then tried- to land,
but found they did not know how.
Thev couldn't find a place large
enough. So they went up again.
Then they flew a little lartner. men
down again. They went up and
down for three times, then Jack de
teVmined to light. He shut off all the
power and just let the plane drop.
Down, down, down and they hit the
ground with the nose of the plane.
When Jack woke up again he found
himself in a hospital. He found his
head ached badly, and was not able
to take another flight for a good

Alice's Visit to Fairyland.
Alice was a little girl about 5 years
old. She had otten heard 01 iairy-
land, but had never been to visit it.
One night a fairy came and asked
her to go. Alice was disappointed,
for how was she to go. me mj
told her she could ride in the air
plane. Alice thought this a splendid
joke, for how was she to get m such
a small airplane. But the fairy said
she could make her smaller and the
first thing Alice knew she was flying
in the air. After riding about two
hours they came to fairyland and, oh,
such a sight it was. Fairies of all
kinds, some dressed in blue pink and
other colors. The fairy invited
Alice to lunch. Just as Alice sat
down to eat a ray of sunlight came
in at the window. Alice sat up in
bed rubbing her eyes. She found
that her visit to fairyland was only
a dream Bernice Berney, Aged 11,

The Little Folks Have An Auto
mobile Accident.
"We ought to make good time to
day," said the Turk as he threw the
tinv eneine into third speed and
leaned against the soft cushions of
the Teenie Weenie truck.
"Don't see why we can t,
answered the Doctor, who sat on
the driver's seat with the Turk.
"We've got wonderfully good roads

clear through to South Bend.
"Well. I'm going to see if we
can't break a record today." said
the Turk. "We've got a fine road
jnd thp machines are ill COod
and the machines are in good
shape."
There are always things wnicn
bob up at the most unexpected
times and spoil perfectly good
chances for automobile records, and
one of these struck 'the Teenie
Weenies, or rather they struck it.
The little trucks had been rolling
along for about an hour when the
Turk saw a young chicken ahead,
near the side of the road. The little
fellow blew his horn and pulled over
to the opposite side, and just as he
was about to pass the chicken it
cave a great jump and landed right
in front of the speeding truck.
TheTurk threw on his brake, but
the truck was traveling too fast to
be brought to a stop quick enough.

Blue Book
Every member of the League of
Irritable Spinsters will agree that a
good old adage about children is
overgrown with moss and lichens.
Children are heard nowadays long
before they are seen. Yet never was
there a time when one felt more
justified about restricting their mani
festations, for never was a time when
children were seen to greater advan
tage. Nowadays most mothers ate get
ting ready school clothes. These in
clude jerseys, homespuns, and the old
standby, serge. A novelty among
them is the kitted dress, which ap
pears smartly with the design part on
the waist instead of the skirt. The
designer for children has also used
knitted trimmings for the serge
frock. Among more familiar fab
rics, too, there is constant ingenuity
displayed in the combination of fab
rics. For example, a little skirt of
homespun may start from a long
bodice of black satin.
Yet there are many who prefer not
to move their children out of the
summer cottons and linens. In line
with this thought we present the
above delightful little dress of blue
sateen combined with white organdy.
This has the long waist lins so in
sistent in all models for the small
girls. C. Lowe.
Attacked by Baboons
Baboons are becoming a great
menace to live stock and even to
humans in the district known as
Vereelegen in South Africa. Troops
of as many as 300 baboons are re
ported as having been seen. A
Ypim drouth has driven them Out
of the hills and into the cultivated
districts. In one of these raids a
narti- nf hahoon dries were turned
loose and drove the baboons back
into the mountains. A big male, ac
rnrHinir to Hsmlcv's Menaeerie
Magazine, remained at the rear of
the troop and acted as defender of
the weaker ones. As the best dog
in the pack attacked him the baboon
leaped aside, gripping the dog around
its middle and hurled it over a cliff
some SO feet below.

The boys' division locker room is
being enlarged again for the fourth
time in thp nast two vears to take
care of the greatly increased mem

The locker room capacity is now
being increased so that over a

Boy Scout
Another full camp was the re
ward of the directors at Camp Clif
ford last week. Fifty-six boys were
in camp for this last period of the
season. Next week 25 or 30 colored
scouts will have the camp.
At the court of honor held in
camp last Sunday, 50 merit badges
were given out. This brings the
total number of merit badge rewards
for camp this summer to over 300.
Another court will gather at the city
hall Friday of this week.
An executive committee meeting
was held last Wednesday in which
the moguls of the scout organization
laid plans for the work this fall.
Chief Executive Gendall would not
divulge the plans made, as they are
not yet complete, but he said that

A rolling egg accumulates no

It is all right to count chickeus

Plans Being Made for
Y. M. C. A. Open House
During September
Flans are being made evciy day
at the "Y" for the big open house
program which will occupy the
month of September for tlu school
boys of Omaha. The entire boys'
division is to be turned over to
them for this month, and everything
that will amuse boys will be put on
for their benefit.
The scheme takes in every boy in
grade schools in the city of Omaha
whether they are members of the
"Y" or not and this year it is hoped
that as many boys who are not
members will enjoy this program, as
is possible.
Games of all kinds, athletics, com
petitions and the lmai awaid 01 1
fine bannar to the winning team, win
be the high spots of the open house,
together with a good swim for every
group alter they have enjoyed me
athletics.
It is expected that over 500 boys
will eniov the nrivileges of the "Y"
during this month absolutely free of
charge and special eitorts win De
made to show every one of them the
time of their lives.
E. E. Micklewrieht is in charge of
the open house program for Omaha
boys and is assisted by J. .maner
Arnold. Norman J. Weston is in
charge of the Athletic program in
the gym and swimming pool and
will be assisted by Cecil Fisher and
Carl Weigel, assistant physical di
rectors. A Popular Outdoor
"Y" Lad Philip Price
thn thousand "Y" boys at
the boys' division one can readily dis
tinguish Philip Price, by his coat 01
tan whenever he comes into the
boys' division. He is one of the out
door enthusiasts among Omaha boys
who deserves more than passing
mention.
"Phil," as his friends call him, is
the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. E. Price of 1473 Wirt street. He
is one of the leading boys in the
bovs' division, helping with every ac
tivity that comes along in which he .
is needed. He attends gym classes
regularly in the winter and is a
good basket ball player.
But in the summer time he can
best be found on the shores of Car
ter lake where he keeps his best pa. V
of the summer months his canoe.
Never a day passes but one c?n find
Phil on the lake in the canoe, fishing
or swimming or just paddling
around for the sheer fun of it. He
may have some friend with him or
he may be alone it matters little to
Phil.
But he is a lover of the great out
of doors and when it comes to over
night hikes, camping trips, swim
ming, canoeing and fishing Phil
takes the prize from all the rest of
the "Y" boys.
Notes
annual Nami Bi Zhu festival to be
held at Camp Gifford in October.
All scouts who attended this celebra
tion last fall know that it is some
thing to look forward to.
Here is a good bit of news for
scouts:. A big reduction has been
made in the price of all scout equip
ment. This reduction runs from 25
cents to 50 cents, and includes shirts,
pants, leggings, hats, cook kits,
stockings, ax and sheath, mackinaws
and ponchos. A new standard uni
form is to go on sale the first of the
year. From then on no old style
uniforms will be sold.
A. S. Kent, scout executive from
Lincoln, inspected camp Tuesday,
and could not offer too much praise
for the way the camp is being run,
and for the spirit shown by the
campers.

Little Rich Roberta.
There was a little girl by th
name of Roberta. Her father and
mother were very wealthy. She
bragged about their land, stock and
money. After a while they lost all
they had and they had to live in
an old house. She did not have
friends because when they were rich
she did not care about anybody but ,
herself, and of course they all
thought about it when they were
made poor. She would go to school
sad and leave school sad. One day
she went to school and told the
children that she was so sorry be
cause she acted so mean to them.
They said they would forgive her.
All of the children played with her
and had a nice time. She went home
from school happy and she told her
folks all that had happened at school
that day. After that Roberta was
invited to most all the children's
parties and always had a nice time.
She had more company after that,
too. Leona Keller, Aged 11, Oc
