Hob was only 10 years old so what

He took it off. It was his Go-Hawk

Happy New Year , to You, One and All!
When you turn to HAl'FYLAND today it will be a brand new year.
With days and weeks and months, stretching out, before you, all new and
fair and beckoning to you to come and meet them and make of each some
thing sweet to remember always. Some weeks ago a little New England
girl, named Hester l-'ay, wrote that she knew she was being true to one of
our symbols, the blue bird, because she had been so happy for the last two
weeks. That was fine 16 hear, because one of the best vay to teach others
to love the Go-Hawks is to have a happy heart at home, in school and
everywhere.
One of our boys, tyilllam Bates of South Dakota, sent this little mes
sage a few days ago: "I understand what you mean by shooting Kind
Deed arrows everywhere. They arc not really truly arrows but the things
we do for others." WilHam guessed just right, for our arrows have always
been just the things we were doing for others and many of you have
found all sorts of unexpected places for yours. This South Dakota Go
Hawk wrote also that one of the things he had tried very hard to do
ever since he joined the Happy Tribe was to see how quickly he could
offer his seat to a woman who was standing in the street cars. So you
see, the idea of both Hetty and William are good ones to share with the
rest of you on the first day of a new year. It is the doinp of such things
that makes the official button you are wearing mean something to those
whom vou meet.
What a lovely thing it is for us to have a new year to carry on our
work to bigger, better things. If there were things that hurt you or made
you sad last year, try your best to put them by now and greet the new
year with a smile. JUet us an worn: togetner to make eacn new nay count
for something. If we take care of each day just as it comes and make it
w hat it should be, we do not hare to worry about
the tomorrows. Try today to wish as many
people as you can a happy new year, Here is
an extra good wish to you from your

A Simple Mattress.
.When resting or sleeping in tnc
open air, it is as necessary to have
something to lie upon as to have
proper covering for the body, other
wise the part of the body that is in
contact with the earth may get
chilled. All kinds of things will pro
tide a useful mattress and in this
matter we may imitate the bird in
making its nest. Dried grass, leaves,
feathers, wed shavings, bundles of
faggots, newspapers, and such like
can be used with advantage, and if
the ground is really wet, an excel
lent bedstead can be made from a
heap of stones or a couple of tree
trunks rolled together .if such are
available. Jiook of Knowledge. .

TtricrViKpvptl Teddv stood at the
window watchine the snow Hakes
fall softly and quietly to the ground,
spreading a white blanket every

gleefully. . .

On the streets outside Teddy heard
a newsboy trying hard to sell his
papers, r '

his hands were bare. But never
theless he was clean.
The people hurried on heeding not
his cries.
A tear rolled down Teddy's
check. ; Many times had he seen
the boy, but now it seemed different.
As Teddy, turned slowly away
from the window, and made his way
to his room, he said aloud, "And to
morrow is Thanksgiving."
Walking to the dresser he picked
up his red mittens. Choking back
asob he - hurried out into the
streets.. - .
He approached the newsboy timid-,

"Want a paper?" shouted the boy.
"No sir," was the answer. "Take
these."
I eddy hew out tne mittens towaru
him.
"I can't take them," said the boy
tcarfullv, "I can't. You are too
kind." "
And unaware of it he told of his
mother and himself trying to make
a living.
"It's hard to keep a goin' some
times," he said, "and we live in a
little cold room."
"Take the mittens," said Teddy.
"My folks aren't poor. I earned
the money all by myself," and he
slipped the mittens on the boy.
"What is your name?" asked the
newsboy.
"Teddy," -was the answer, "and
what is yours?"
"Mine is Billy. 'You are just an
awfully good angel. I just love
you and and the mittens."

of Patience were full of tears while
those of her sister were still red, as
though she, too, had wept but a
short time before.
The heart of Patience had been.
sorely tried by the trial through
which she had passed. She had suf

she were many years older, the doll
human, and in very grave danger. .
.Prudence likewise had crieved. but
in this, as in everything else, seemed
more quickly to throw off nervous
excitement. s
As Miss Sallie glanced from one
tense little face to the other her own
grew grave; she knew instantly that
tins was no childish quarrel, and
that the seat . of the trouble lay
deeper. She put her arms tenderly
around Prudence, . who was ) more
calm than her sister. "Won't you tell
father and auntie what has made you
and Patience so unhappy?"
Ihe child looked at her longingly,
then replied slowly, "I'd like to tell,
auntie,, and get it out of my insides,
but mebbe it wouldn't be fair."
Miss Sallie glanced at her brother,
as much as to say, "We can almost
guess where the trouble lies."

Why Is Bread Such
Valuable Food?
It is only in the last few years
that men have learned how to study
all kinds of food, and find out ex
actly how good they are, and in
what way they are good for the hu
man body.' J. his has been done
many times over and in many differ
ent ways, for thousands of foods
and drugs, and certain very impor
tant facts have already been firmly
established. We are still in -much
doubt as to the exact value of meat
and of many other foods: but every
one who has any right to an opinion
is agreed as to the value of bread.
Milk is the staff of life in our
earliest years, and nothing else can
replace it. But, although no other
one food is as all-important in later
years as milk is at first, bread is
superior to everything else in its
food value, and its cheapness, and
its freedom from anything that in
jures the body. Therefore it can
not be too cheap. Book of Wonders.
It is tima for the curtain in the
Fairy Grotto to rise for a new play.
Of course, you could all easily gues
it will be a New Year's play. It

The little folks were snowed in for
several weeks, but they did not mind
it much, for the cellar was full ot
food. There were four big potatoes,
two apples, four carrots, one turnip,
one beet, canned tomatoesy corn and
fruit, and fully 300 dried beans. There
was plenty of rice, wheat, and a great
pile of corn, to say nothing of 16
smoked frog hams and four large
dried minnows.
"Well, we don't need to worry,"
said the General. "We've got enough
food hi the cellar to keep us all
