Maggie'i Birthday Present
Maggie was very sad because it
wss her birthday and the did not re
reive ny presents fier mother was
too poor. Her mother nd Tom
(lirr brother) took care ot me came,
tlral in order to keep the little (am
ily together. Maggie could not
work, tor (he was crippled and had
to walk on crutches. Today she
vetit a usual with her mother to
the cathedral and aat on the steps
and passed the day watching the
rasiersby. As the aat there the s aw
tmall dog running up to her. lie
jumped tip and down and did many
tricks for her. It could be plainly
seen that he was a well-brought-up
dog. Finally, her mother came
from the cathedral and they went
home. The dog followed closely
behind. Months passed and one
day as they sat on the steps a
stranger came up to Maggie and
aid:
"This is a fine dog you have."
"Yes," said Maggie, looking with
pride at the well-kept Nido.
"Can he do any tricks?" asked the
Stranger.
"Certainly," replied Maggie, and
JCido did many tricks. He danced,
cried, played dead, shook hands and
many other tricks.
Neat day while Maggie was gono
the stranger came to the house and
offered Maggie's mother $50 for
Nido. It was lots of money to her
and finally she gave him Nido. No
Nido was there to greet Maggie
when she came home and her moth
er fold the whole story. Maggie
vas very sick and nothing could
make her better but Nido.
One day in bounded Nido, dirty
and thin, but happy as eer. He
nearly wagged his tail off trying to
express his joy. But suddenly
Haggle's n mother grew grave and
said: '
"But, Maggie, the man paid . so
much for him and he really isn't
worth it"
Maggie did not reply, for she
knew better, and from that day on
Maggie improved and was soon hap-
py as ever. Faithful Nido never got
' out of her sight. Inez Hardy, Co

The Little Match Girl.
Once upon a time there was a lit
tle match girl whose name was Eva.
Eva went on an errand. Before she
started her mother gave her a' pair
of slippers to wear. She was very
poor. When she was crossing the
train track she lost them. -A boy
found one and said when he got
married he could use it for a cradle
for his children. The other she could
. not find. So she went on barefooted.
Her feet were black and "blue with
cold. It was just before Christmas
and no one even stopped to give
her a penny. She came to a house,
sat down beside it, put her feet under
her dress, but this did not keep
them warm. She lit a match and her
fingers got warm. When the match
went out she lit another and kept
on doing this. Then she thought
she saw a Christmas dinner on a
table. There was a big goose on a
- platter. The goose jumped down on
, the floor.. It had a fork in its
i breast When this match went out
she lit another and saw a Christmas
tree all lighted up. It had 'a big doll
under it and playthings. When thi
match went out she saw her grandma
in the next. Her grandma was the
only one who had loved her. Before
her grandma died she said when a
Mar fell a soul was going up to God.
She knew when this match went out
her grandma would go away. So
she lit the whole bunch. In the night
she froze to death. She told her
grandma to take her in her arms to
heaven. Eva thought she did. No
one ever knew what this little girl
had thought about Elsie Jensen,

What Good Old St. Patrick Did.
St. Tatrick's Day it atinntt here again, for lh4t was the name that
was long io given to ,Urih 17, There are many legends and stories con
nerted with this holiday, and I am going to tell you one that is facially
popuUr in IreUnd. where it was firt told many years ago.
Of murse, you have heard that when M. Tatrirk went to Ireland he
found the Isle running over with snakes, toals and serpents el all kimls.
Hut lie had a great time getting rid ol them and at lt he suerreded. Hut
there was on sly old serpent who escaped fonhe had hidden awny
in a hole in a lake.
The good old Saint was much surprised when he found this out and
knew that something would have to be done, for the old serpent wits
making a lot of mischief. He thought and thought about it, and finally
he got t strong iron chet and nine bolts. Then one fine morning he
took a walk to the hole where the serpent made his home. The old ser
pent didn't like St. 1'atrick a hit, for he knew what he had done to all his
brother and his uncles and his cousins, so he began to his and show
his teeth.
"Oh!" called St. Patrick cheerfully. "What's the sense of making
so much noine when a nice gentleman like myself comes to call? And
it's a line houe I am bringing you for the winter. You can come out and
look at it whenever you plcae."
The serpent hearing such plcaant words began to be interested and
he stuck his head out of the hole, then came wriggling after to see the
new house St. Patrick had brought. But when he saw the nine bolls he
was friyhtened and began to wriggle away as fast as he could.
"Stop, stop!" cried St. Patrick. It's a long ways you'd be going
before you found such a nice warm house!"
"Thank you kindly, St. Patrick" answered the old serpent, "but it's
too small for me."
"Too small!" laughed St. Patrick. "I am sure it will fit you com
pletely. If you only try, there's plenty of room."
"I don't like to contradict you," replied the serpent politely. "But I
am sure it is much too small."
With that the serpent swelled himself up as big as he could and
crept into the chest all but a bit of his tail.
"There now, you can see for yourself!" he cried gleefully. "The
house is much too small (or me. I can't get my tail in." '
And what did St. Patrick do? Why, quick as a wink he slammed
down the heavy lid of the chest with a bang like thunder. When that old
rogue of a serpent saw the lid coming down he drew in his tail like a shot
for' fear that it would be snapped off. And St. Patrick began to lock
the nine bolts.
"Oh, murder! Won't you let me out?" cried the serpent.
"Let you out, my darling?" replied St. Patrick. "To be sure! To
be sure! But you must wait until tomorrow."
- With that the good saint rolled the chest down the hill and right
into the lake, where 1 think it is to this very day. And the old serpent,
struggling at the bottom, is what makes the waves roll ami toe iin in
!.:!. c .i. .. . . . -r
iiigu. oume even say mey are sure iney nave heard
tne serpent calling: "is it tomorrow yet? Is it tomor
row yet.' vv hich it sure can never be, for it is always
TODAY. And that is the way St. Patrick settled
the serpents in Ireland.
How Did the Forests That
Turned to Coal Come
to He Buried?
All the earth that covers the great
coal depotits of the earth's cruit,
called the carboniferous, wlihlii
meant carbon-hearing, was laid!
there through long ages by the sea.
Nothing is more certain than that
over" every part of what we call the
dry land, the sra has rolled for many
age Probably mot part of the
earth's surface have many times been
under water and many times above
it. Wherever the sea is, there its
water slowly deposits an ever-deep
ening layer of substances which it
has dissolved from the rocks and
other materials which the rivers have
brought to it, and yet others which
are the remains of creatures living
in the depths of the sea.
Then as the waters roll eUewhcre
and the bottom of the sea is un
covered, the surface of these deposits
becomes the surface of the dry land.
If we carefully study the rate at
which the waters are forming de
posits today, we can get some very
rough idea of time that has passed
since various layers of the earth s
crust were on the surface, as every
layer of it has at some time been.
And so we can guess that many mil
lions of years must have elapsed since
the coal measures were alive. Book

A Circus.'
For more than a week excitement
had run high in the neighborhood of
the Carroll home. The Go-Hawks'
were to give a circus and day or
night it "was the absorbing topic of
conversation. The barn was head
quarters for the troupe, and the lot
at the rear was to be the circus
ground. Practising on the, home
made trapeze, with ancient bed
quilts and comforters to soften the
numerous falls; .was the program for
every afternoon. The twins had won
much admiration for the manner in
which they walked the tight rope
a performance it was well for them
that Aunt Sallie did not see. How
ever, tight rope walking did not
wholly satisfy the ambition of Pru
dence. "Isn't there something else that
we can do, Jack?" she asked one
evening.
"How'd you like to be a side show,
you and Pat? You might be the fat
lady with something dreadful the
matter with you, or a giantess and
stand on a box in the tent."

please the restless child. "May we
be anything we can think up to
s'prise the boys?" she asked.
"Sure t(jing," answered, the chief,
"but get up something lively and
different from anything else, 'cause
you two'Il be the only lady actors in
this show."
"What'd yoti rather be than any
thing else in the world?" asked Pru
dence on the way home.
"Oh, I'd rather be a beautiful prin

"But that won't do for a circus,"
interrupted Prudence.
"Well, then let's be bareback rid
ers and go round and round the ring
on our horses and Napoleon can
stand in the middle and crack a whip
at us," continued Patience, "only
where'Il we get the horses?"
"We'll have just pretend ones. We
can ride broomsticks. This circus
mustn't be like any other circus,
'cause Jack said it must be differ
ent." "If we ride broomsticks then how
can we be bareback riders?" asked
Patience.
Prudence studied the question and
then her eyes brightened. "I tell
you! We can cut the backs out of
out waists and then we'd be bare
back riders."
, "Auntie wouldn't like it."
"Dear me, Pat, I never saw such
a girl. One'd s'pose you were 'bout
two years old, and here you are with
your children getting married. You
mustn't get in the habit of thinking
about things to worry over. Jack
says it's always more comfortable
not to worry about anything' till
ev'rything's all over.

Daddy's birthday is the same date
as our old friend, St. Patrick, so next
Friday we are having a little dinner
party in his honor. I am going to
make the salad to help mother and
this is what I am planning to have.
ST. PATRICK SALAD.
Use a green pepper for each per
son. Cut out the stem and end and
remove the seeds and white part.
Wash out your peppers by running
some cold water into them. Then
take equal amounts of celery, apples,
olives and nut meats all chopped in
small pieces, mix with salad dress
ing and fill the peppers. Put a spoon
ful of mayonnaise dressing on the
top of each one and decorate with
a shamrock cut from a pepper.
And I must tell you what mother
is getting for place cards. She bought
some . tiny white pipes and we are
going to write the names on the han

HOW TO BE A
GOOD GO-HAWK
A good Go-Hawk does not
look over another's shoulder to
see what he is reading or writ

or disagreeable habit than this
one, for what a person is reading
or writing is private unless he

Last Sunday the curtain rose in
our 1 airy Groto of Happyland on
our March play. You read the little
story of the play and who were
to be in it and what they were to
wear. Today you will learn what
made Peggy and Jcanette feel so sad
as they wandered through the Hap

You will find out who comes to
help them. The name of our March
play is:

One line day in summer my friftid

and cake and many other things.
We caught 19 fish, each about 10
inches biiir. We went home very
happy that day. When I got home
my brother was there. It was his
birthday. The folks bad a party for

Gogo Has a Terrible Experience.
How it did rain! It came down
in great drops almost big enough to
fill a Teenie Weenie bucket, so it
would be quite safe to say that the
rain came down by the bucketful. It
started early, in the morning and it
fell so hard there was nothing for
theTeenie Weenies to do but stay In
the house, for one drop would have
soaked a Teenie Weenie from head
to toe.
It was most tiresome 'sitting by
the fire with nothing to do. Some
of the little folks played checkers,
some dozed by the fire, and some
talked.
"Let's talk about something to
eat," suggested the Dunce when the
conversation had lagged for a few
minutes during the afternoon.
"What's the i-e talkin' 'bout, fings
fI J,
to eat? Dat done do no good," said
Gogo. "I'd like to have a big piece
of watermillion, but talkirj' don't
bring no watermillion," and the lit
tle fellow wiped the corner of his
mouth as he gazed into the blazing
fire.
"I'll bet you a grape seed I could
eat a whole thimbleful of whipped
cream," cried the Dunce, smacking
his lips.
"You all can have your whipped
cream," said Gogo. "All I asks fo'
is jus' watermillion, plenty of wa
termillion." -
For some minutes the little folks
sat silently blinking into the tiny
fireplace. Some of the little heads
nodded, and loud breathing told that
several of the little people had
reached the land of dreams.
Suddenly the drowsy Teenie Wee
nies were brought to their feet 6y
loud yells, and Gogo, who had been
nodding beside the fireplace, began
to shout at the top of his tiny voice.
"Hey! H-H-Hey, let me go! O!
O!" shouted the little colored fellow.
and, jumping to his feet, he grabbed
the poor Dunce about the neck and
began to shake him.
"I'll . teach you all to go 'roun'
foolin' folks what done like water
million. No old frog can play low
down tricks on me."Gogo shook the
poor Dunce until the rest of the
Teenie Weenies came to his rescue
for the Dunce was scared half out
of his wits and could not help him
self. "Here, quit that! What do you
mean by such actions?" shouted the
policeman, prying the little colored
chap away from the poor Dunce.
"Land sakesl" cried Gogo, rub
bing hi seyes and looking foolishly
about. "I done been dreamin."
"Well, that shakin' you gave me
wasn't any dream," cried the Dunce,
backing off to a safe distance.
"O! It was awful, dat dream,"
sighed Gogo. "I was sittin' right
here befo de fire when there was a
knock at de door. 'I went to de
do' and a big frog done stan' dah
and smile a great big smile. After
i
he done smile a long time he done
tell me to come out in de yard fo'
to eat watermellon. I called de
Dunce and de Chinamans and we
go out and in de front yard we done
fine a big piece of watermillion. I
done climb up on dat piece of water
million, and jus'- get two big han's
full when a big han' done come
down out of de sky and snatchem
me away. I done kick and scratch
and de ban' done drop me kersplash
in de watermillion. I done get up
and de frog he says it all joke,
and I say it ain't no joke, losin'
watermillion jus' when yo' all have
it right in yo' mouth, so I done grab
dat frog by de throat to give him
a good shakin' when I done wake
up."
"Well, that was some dream,"
said the Old Soldier.
"Yes, sir," answered the little
colored fellow. "It come near be
ing some dream, and I is goin' right
back to sleep and see if I can get
a taste of dat million next time."

The Kind Little GirL
Once upon a time there was
little girl named May. May's father
was very rich. May was very, very
kind little g;rl. May was the only
child in the family. So her mother
and father pelted her. You may
think May was spoiled, but she
wa-n't.
One day May's mother was going
down shopping in town and told
May to stay home. May obeyed and
told her mother goodby. Then she
ran upstairs to get her doll. When
she came to the door she saw a rag
ged boy. May felt sorry for the
boy and said he should come in and
have something to cat. After the
boy had eaten hw meal he told how
poor he was. May felt sorry for
him and gave him $10. The boy
did not want to take it, but May
said, "I have $10 more." So the
poor boy took the money and was
very glad. When May's mother
came home, May ran out and told
her mother about the ragged boy
and what she gave him. Her mother
asked why she gave the money to
the poor boy. May said "because I
promised to be good to animals and
I think it is good to work with my
Go-Hawk pin to help poor people
just as well as animals." After a
white May said, "Mother, I didn't
mean to say I just want to be kind
to poor people, but I will help out
the little animals too it they are in
bad luck." Then her mother said,
"Oh I know you are kind. Now come
to the house and look over the things
I bought you." May ran to the house
and looked over her things and then
sat down and wrote a letter to the
Happy Tribe. Freda Koehler, Aged
