Dear Happy: I will write a story.
Once a man down south was going
In fttA m st..a1m ' I 1. a ai. . an
ugly black teer in the herd, and
they wondered if their old yellow
dog, Tige, could manage him. At
last they set out. When they got
there, Tige sulked about. Then, as
if he had got up a little spirit, he
made a run at th steer. Then the
steer sighted him, gave a hcllow and
started after him. Then Tige turned
tail. The men that owned him were
frantic' Then one can called out,
"Don't .shoot Tige until you see
where he is going. Tige ran right
into the cattle pens.- The steer not
noticing where he was going, went
in after him. Then Tige leaped the
fence and ran barking and yelping to
the gate so that the men would shut
it. The men shut it. Then' they gave
Tige a silver-plated collar. Very
truly yours, Virgil Sharp, . aged 9.

Rules for Go-Hawks.
Ever so many of you have written asking for the rules of the Go
Hawk tribe. The pledge that appears under the picture of your Go-Hawk
button every Sunday on this page is the rule fof all good Go-Hawks to
follow. You have only one symbol, Go-Hawks the Indian head which
appears on your official button. It is the symbol of courage. Who ever
heard of an Indian chief who was not courageous? Another rule of the
Go-Hawk tribe appears on the page every Sunday. Today it appears under
the heading, "Another Way to Be a Good Go-Hawk." So now, Go-Hawks.
I am sure you all understand the rules of the large tribe of Go-Hawks that
extends from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans, from Canada to Mexico.
A good Go-Hawk is a good Go-Hawk the world over, whether he lives
next door to you or miles across the country. Your letters are all welcome,
especially those telling about what you are doing to
make the old world happier. Next Sunday I will tell my
readers what Abigail Shephard is doing and I will also
about Frederick Godslaml. Until

A Good Lesson, or How
a Boy Learned to
Mind His
Parents. '
There lived in a town in Iowa a
boy named Charles. He never mind
ed his mother or father, or anyone
he should have. One day he went
sliding against his mother's will. He
was having a good time on the hill
sliding. He had a new sled and
thought there was not another one
as good on the hill. He was the last
one tip the hill, as he had lingered on
the way. He was going down the
hill on his sled when the rest of the
crowd of boys and girls were coming
up. He cried "Track 1" and the
crowd parted. But as fate would
have it, a big boy was pulling a little
one on his sled and could not get out
of the way fast enough. The result
was Charles cut his scalp open and
he bears a crescent-shape scar on his
scalp. After several other expe
riences that would have been avoid
able he decided to try minding his
parents. Since that time he has Im
proved considerably and is becoming
a better boy as each day passes.
Moral: If all boys and girls would
mind their parents or guardians, the
police courts would not have so
many cases of child crime and there
would not be so many accidents as
there are now. . ,

Where Is the White Man's
Grave? .
This. is a name which was very
rightly given in the old days to part
of the coast of West Africa when
white men first went there for the
riches of the district, and found that
those who stayed for only a short
tune nearly -all died or came to
death's door, The great cause of
this was the fever called malaria. In
the course of long ages the chemis
try of the bodies of the natives of a
malarial district, sudt as the White
Man's Grave, has bconme changed,
so that they ran resist the poison of
malaria. The pqiion enters prac
tically every one of them when they
are tiny children, hut it does them
comparatively- little harm.. The
white man, however, is a very easy
prey, and is struck down almost at
once. Book of Wonders.

Tilly Titter Goes to the Hospital.
It was a very cold night. The
wind howled through the rosebush
under which the shoe house stood.
Inside the old shoe the Teenie
Weenies were gathered , about the
tiny fireplace where a great lead
pencil log burned brightly. .
"J-j-j-jinksl" exclaimed the Dunce,
who lay 'on his Teenie Weenie tum
mie before the fire. "You can just

I've got a good, big fire to keep me
warm."
"I wish poor Tilly Titter had a
fire to keep her warm," said the
Lady of Fashion!" And the little
Lady of Fashion sighed deeply as
she gazed thoughtfully into the
bright lire.
The little people had just finished
their breakfast the next morning
when the Chinamen came bursting
into the old shoe house with the
news that Tilly Titter, the English
sparrow, was outside and wished to
see the Doctor.
She pretty muchie slick!" ex
claimed the Chinaman. "She want
see Doctor light away."
"AH right. Chuck." answered the
Doctor. "I'll be right out," and
taking his tall hat from the closet
under .the stairway he hurried out
to the waiting bird.

(Continued from Last Week.)
"It means today to burn them up,"
he answered haltingly.
' "Burn up Lillic and Susanr.al" ex
claimed Whispering Leaves, in hor
ror at such a thought. . v
"That's what the warriors de
mand," answered Sitting Bull, and
when he taw the anguish in .-the
twins' eyes he added apologetically,
"It's 'cause they're men and never
played with dolls, but "A gener
ous thought came 'to him. "Wc
braves '11 go up in the hay loft and
leave you relatives alone 'with the
pris'ners to take your last looks and
say goodby." So great was thi
chief's faith in th squaws that he
never questioned their giving up
their dolls even as they had their
curls to meet the demands of the
tribe.
The Go-Hawks walked soberly
away and the' squaws were left alone.
They looked at each other speech
less, their gaze then wandering to
the pile of brushwood ready to light.
Running Water stole closer to her
sister. "I can't let them burn Lillie,"
she whispered. "She's 4, and never
said a cross word to me I don't
care 'bout having no . curls, but I
can't let Lillie be burned." "Sit
ting Bull said we must," responded
Whispering Leaves, who possessed
sterner ideas of duty and was more
capable of self-sacrifice. Another
silence followed while each little
maid held her beloved close to her
breast.
"Oh, Doctor!" cried the bird. '"I'm
sick." ; . . . - :
"What's vthe trouble?" asked the
Doctor. ' - N :
"Eyes hurt, wings ache, and my
'ead's so 'ot it's fairly burnin' hup,"
answered the sparrow. ,
"You've got to have care or you
are going to be a mighty sick bird."
said the Doctor, after he had ex
amined the sparrow. "Come right
over to the hospital where it's good
and warm, and I'll get you back to
health in a few days."
"Are vou spoofin', Doctor?" asked
the bird. "I can't get into that ci
gar box you call a hospital. Why,
I could 'ardly get my 'ead in one
of the windows."
"Quite right! Quite right!" ex
caimed the Doctor. "I never thought
of that. But you've got to get in
somehow, even if we have to cut a
door high enough to let you -in.
"We can cut a place big enough
to- let Tilly in," cried the Turk, who
had been listening to the conver
sation. "Ail right," said the Doctor, "get
to work."
In a few minutes the Teenie
Weenies brought out their tiny
tools, and while Tilly sat on a stone
nearhv 4he little mm tonn cut a
great hole in the old cigar box which 1
Running Water kissed her, child
lovingly and it seemed to her that
Lillie was begging for life. It was
more than her sensitive heart could
bear and she threw herself on the
ground, where she lay, with her
dolly clasped close in tier 'arms, n l
sobbed as never before in all her
little life.
The sight unnerved the graver
hearted Whispering Leaves and she.
too, burst into tears. "Darling!
Darling 1" she whispered to her dolly,
"I can't let you get all burned up
I thought mebbe I could but I
can't, I can't," she wailed.
It was thus that Sitting Bull found
them a few minutes later, when he
came as an emissary from the tribe
to see if farewells had not been
spoken and if the burning of the
martyrs might now proceed. ' He
stood embarrassed in the sight of
such keen suffering, for the girls
made no effort to conceal their grief
"Won't you be willing to let ti
burn them, live brave Joan of Arc?"
asked Sitting Bull slowly, "Do yo
care so much about them?"
"How'd you like to have your
pony all burned up?" asked Whisper
ing Leaves, holdingvher doll closer
and weeping harder than ever.
The chief's kind heart, which usu
ally kept him from very deep dis
grace with his elders, struggled now
to be heard. He wanted to be loyal
to his warriors and yet he could not
bear to ee the squaws weeping.

served the little folks as a hospital.
After the hole had been cut it
took much pulling and pushing to
crowd the sparrow into the place,
and when she was safely inside tho
little men quickly closed up the big
hole."-
"Now," said the Doctor, as he
came into the room with the top of
a salve box full of hot water, ".sit
down and I'll give you a hot loot
bath." ; . - : , ' .'a
"I guess not!" cried the bird. "Do
you think I am going to sit down
and ruin my tail feathers?"
"Of course not," laughed the Doc
tor. "It would be rather hard for you
to sit down, so just step into the
water and you can soak your feet
standing up." -
After the hot bath the bird was
given some hot broth which the
Cook brought in.rtd presently she
fell into a deep sleep.
The poor bird slept for a long
time in the warm hospital, and when
she awoke she felt much better.
After several days of careful treat
ment Tilly was quite herself again,
but it was a hard task to get her out
of the hospital, for she had gained
several pounds, and it was all the
little men could do to pull her
through the hole.

A man's frock or morning coat
always has two buttons at the back'
just where the tail of the coat be-,
gins. These are simply for orna

pose, but they are a survival from
the time when back-buttons were
necessary. The frocks of coats were

order that the wearer might not be
Hampered in his movements when
walking quickly, buttons were put on
the back of the coat and buttonholes

him and you can play postman ami

Or the letters may be sent by mail.
Write, this little friend all the school
news, and especially the funny hap
penings" Laughter is a good tonic,
you know. And say you miss him.

be well. If you were ill you would
be glad to hear from your school-'
