over to the wounded bird an indig

"Thomas Smith how could you
have the heart to do such a cruel
thing."
The speaker was a girl of 11 or 12,
who told Tom all about Happyland
and its motto to make the world a
happier place and that hurting birds
and animals is not making it any
happier. .
Tom took the robin home where
it got well in about three weeks.
Tom was glad to see it fly again

Eva and the Fairy.
Eva had been a very bad girl. She
liad sassed her mother, slapped her
brother and killed some birds. Now
she was pouting about it.
"You need not cry," said her
mother, "it will do you no good.
Now you must go to bed."
Eva went but very unwillingly.
She could not sleep. There was
a noise in the chimney. Eva held
her breath. At that second a fairy
appeared. She said, "I am the
mother of a Go-Hawk. I, have
come to tell yon that it was wrong
r . . . nil... P1nn
xor you to ass jum inviuvi, ?iap
your brother and kill the birds."
"Please forgive me," begged Eva.
"I will forgive you this time,, but
next time I will never forgive you."
Before Eva could say thank you
she had flown up the chimney again.

CHAPTER IX.
Prepared for the Worst. . .
"I wish we could a-sung 'John
Brown's Body Lies a-Moulderin',"
said Little Smoke as the band - of
"half mourners", filed into the barn
and began removing their badges of
sorrow.
"It'd the word 'grave' in it, so
seems like it'd have been most 'pro
priate," answered Sitting Bull, "and
too, long as Rain-in-the-Face likes
it so well as he does."
I "What're we goin'1 to do with these
things?" asked Piggy, holding up
strips of violet silk.
"We'd better hide 'em 'way to
save 'em for some other mournin'
time: A man never . knows when
he'll need such things," responded
Sitting Bull, looking round at the
group of sober-faced children. "Any
cf us may have an accident and we
ought to be prepared. I only wish
we'd some black, so when" Rain-in-the-Face
is dead we'd be ready."
The squaws exchanged meaning
glances that Lodded ill for Aunt Sal
lie's black silk petticoat.
"My Aunt Sallie had a black pet
ticoat, butshe loves it so much that
she wears it 'most all the time," said
one.
"And our Sunday school teacher
told Susie last Sunday that she
mustn't think so much about things
to wear but more 'bout being good.
P'rhaps it's that way with auntie,
and if she didn't have that petticoat
sh'd think more 'bout being good,"
add the other. .
- "My Sunday school teacher says
we ought to help ev'ry one to be
good as he can," remarked Spotted
Wolf. v -
The chief of the Go-Hawks was
much impressed by the success which
had attended the efforts of the tribe
all the afternoon and it now seemed
really necessary to be prepared with
something black in case the worst
should befall their injured . brave.
"P'rhaps it's our : duty," he said,
slowly yielding to temptation.

"I don't think we'd better ask for
it," warned Piggy, whose broad ex
perience with having requests re
fused made him now struggle to ob
tain his wishes by some other method
more certain of results.
"I think we'd better just t'prise
her," suggested Whispering Leaves.
"She'll most likely wear her white
ess tonight, for it's so hot, and
when we squaws have gone to bed
and auntie has gone downstairs then
we'll go to her room, take the pet
ticoat and throw it out of the win
dow and you Indians can slip into
the yard and get it and hide it over
here with the half mournin' bands."
Thenraves nodded a vigorous ap
proval. They were in favor of( any
plan suggestive of the warpath.
"You Indians must be in Broken
Arrajy Town by dusk," directed Sit
ting Bull. "Bring your bows and
arrows, 'cause it may be a bloody
night's work. . The palefaces may
fight. Remember it's in a worthy
cause. It may help Aunt Sallie be a
better lady, and we may need that
black stuff tomorrow to mourn for
Rain-in-theFace." '
The mention of Donald caused the
little ones to scatter more soberly to
their homes than was their wont.
The twins, however, talked briskly
all the way home. In their childish
way the attempt had been very real
and sincere to express their sorrow
over a playmate's danger.
"I thought," said Prudence, with
pride in her voice, "that we looked
perfee'ly stylish as we marched .down
the street, most as stylish as if -it
had been a really truly fun'ral."
"I wonder if Donald saw us,"
mused Patience. ...
"I hope so, 'cause it'd please him
and oh, Pat, how grand it'll be to
have the Indians stealin' up tonight.
We can watch for them an' sit in
the window and shiver. OhI I hope
father an' auntie won't hear them
and go out 'cause they might get
killed." .

Dear Happy: Once I dreamed that
I was . in Santa's palace. There were
lots of children there. Santa called
out, "You come here." I went upon
his throne. I could see many chil
dren from many lands." A little girl
received a ring, -many boys got
rocking horses. Some girls got
dolls. I received a sled. I awoke
and found the sun peeping in my
window. Lawrence i Knutzen.

The Dunce Leaves Home.
There was no use denying the
fact the Dunce was just as bad as
he could be. It might have been the
spring weather which caused all his
naughtiness, but it is more likely it
was caused by a letter the Teenic
Weenies received. - "
A few weeks ago a little girl wrote
to them and said she felt sorry for
the Dunce. "I think I could help
him to be a good boy. don't you?"
she wrote. "If the Dunce would
come and live with me I would makt,
a good boy out of him. Please lei
him come."
After this letter had been opened
and read by the Teenie Weenies tht
Dunce was so stuck up there was no
living with him, He got into all
sorts of trouble. One morning hi
dropped the head of a match down
the spout of the old teapot which
served the Chinaman as a chimney
for his laundry, and when it landed
in the fire it exploded, blowing the
lids off the tiny stove and scaring
the poor Chinaman nearly out of a
year's growth. i
The Dunce ran away several times
when he should have been helping
with the work all Teenie Weenies
have to do, and the General sent him
to bed once without a bite of supper,
but it did not seem to do a bit of
good. ' a,
"If you'd ask me," growled Grand
pa one evening after the Dunce had
put salt in his malted milk, "I'd sav
he needs a Rood tannin". If I had
my way I'd take him out in the
woodshed and I'd get a good stout
blade of grass and I'd give him a

"Why, grandfather!" exclaimed
the Lady of Fashion, "the Dunce
isn't a bad boy. He's just full of
fun and he really doesn't mean to be
naughty."
"Well, if you call puttiu' salt in
malted milk and stealin' half a thim
bleful of fried cakes fun, then I
haven't got a sense of humor."
growled the old gentleman, glaring
over the top of his tny spectacles.
"Heirealiy uidn't take half a thim
bleful of fried cakes, said the Cook.
"There was only about a dozen and
a half in the thimble."
""Land sakesl' gasped Grandpa,
looking shocked. "A dozen and a
halfl That's enough to make a
strong man sick. Did he have the
stomachache?"
"No," laughed the cook. "I sup
pose he gave most of them away."
The very next morning the Dunce
caught an ant and turned it loose
in Box Hall, where the Guff sisters
lived, scaring the four little women
belt out of their wits. Miss Guff re
ported the matter at once to the
general, and the head of the Teenie
Weenies had the policeman bring the
Dunce to the shoe house.
"Now, Dunce," said the general,
when the Dunce stood before jiiui,
A Happy Boy.
Once upon a time there wa a lit
tie boy; hit name wa Donald. He
was very poor boy. He and hit
mother lived alone in the country.
There wa a rich boy who lived clote
by. The rith loy' name wa Jack.
Donald and Jack were good friend.
One day Jitk came over to Don
ald's liou.e and taid. "See what I
have," and he pointed to a khitiimi
lull Ion on his tie. Donald Mid,
What's that for?" Jak told him
it wat-a badge for the (io H.mk
tribe. The next day Donald tent
for a button and wrote a story. He
got hit button and a prize fr the
tiory. He wrote many other ttorlrt
after that and got a prize for every
one. I would like for tome of the
Go-Hawk to write to me. Dorl

Another Way to Be
a (Joocl Go-Hawk
A good tio-Hawk always says
"Please," or "If you please,'
when asking for anything.
"Please pass, the bread, Mary,"
"Father, I should like some more
meat, if you please ;"i'Plcase may
I go to Fred's house, mother?'-'
sound very much better than just
saying, "Pass the bread, Mary,"
"I want some more meat, father,"
and "Can't I go over to Fred's
house, mother?" Courtesy and
politeness can be made a habit
just as easily as discourtesy and
impoliteness.
"do you think you are behaving like
a gentleman?"
"N-N-No, sir," answered the
Dunce.
"Well, I don't think you are either,
and I want vou to understand we
can't stand for this foolishness
bit longer, and unless you turn over
a new leaf and behave yourself you
are going to get into trouble.
"Well, if you all don't like the way
I behave around here I'm going to
go and live with that little girl who
wrote and asked me to come and live
with her," said the Dunce.
i"I belfere that would be a good
thing to do," answered the General.
"She said that she would make a
good boy out of you, and I think
you had better go."
"Ah-alt-all right!" exclaimed the
Dunce. "I'll go and get a few of my
things and leave right away."
The Dunce stamped out of the
room, and, running upstairs, he soon
gathered a few of his clothes into
a bundle. s -
The news quickly spread around
under the rose bush that the Dunce
wai leaving, and when the foolish
fellow stepped out on the front porch
a number of the Teenie Weenies
were gathered about the old shoe.
"Well, good-bye, Dunce," called
the General as the Dunce shuffled
off. "When you feel that you can
behave yourself you will be wel
comed back home."
The Dunce never answered a word,
but walked rapidly away, and tears
gathered in the eyes of some of
the little people, for in spite of his
foolishness, the Dunce wa much
loved by the Teenie Weenies,

at the postollice and they were off.
As quick a the truck rolled into
the sugar plantation the girls were
out exploring the farm. Betty
found a ring, then they went into the
house and prepared dinner. They
wandered about, then got supper.
After supper they made candy.
When the week ended the girls
and boys went home saying that
they had a good time. Martha Had

To Remove Glass Stopper.
When a glass stopper refuses to
come out of a bottle, we must first
give a few regular steady taps down
ward, round the neck of the bottle.
If this method . fails, -we may try
clasping it in our warm hands, or
wrapping the neck round with a rag
dipped in hot water. One of these
methods will generally release the
most stubborn stopper. Book of
