It didn't take the girs long to get their’ hats, ‘boots, knickers and jack- ets on. Harold and Jack/went out in the fields to ask Uncle Happy what horses to take. Uncle Happy salt. “You two boys can have Joe and Tom. I expect you'd better them two Let me see—they can have jan and Queen.” “You'd better let Mary have Nan and Eleanor take Queen, because Mary's rode more than Eleanor. Now away with you, because you're inter fering with my work.” The two boys went away, discuss- Ing Uncle Happy’s Engiish that he bad used in talking to them. They told Mike West to saddle up Joe and Tom for them and Nan and Queen for the girls. Then they were ready to go over the fields. First, they saw the ducks, geese and all sorts of poultry. Then the valves, sheep and last of all, they saw the horses. Presently they came to the dem.

I've got tke greatest idea you ever thought of,” she cried. "Do tell me before I burst with excitement,” cried Eleanor, “All right, you don't know that there's an attic just filled with ‘old- fashioned hooped skirta, do you?” “I should gay not,” exclaimed Eleanor. “Well, what do you say about go ing up to the attic and dressing up?” said Mary. “Fine, let's do The girls hurried up the stair The trunks ‘were just full of old-fashioned hooped skirted dresses, Mary found a pret- ty orange-colored dressed trimmed fm black velvet. Eleanor found a sal- meon-colorel one with brown trim- ming. They heard the sound of @ car coming down the road. They hurried to get into their own clothes. Aunt Margaret and Grandma were tm the house and had the presents put away before the wo girls came down. ‘The party was on Wednesday. Aunt Margaret had told Harold and Jack that they would have the job of tak- ing the girls horseback rding while the guests were gathering and keep them out till a quarter of one. Then that would give them plenty of time ta dress for the party. The two girls were back at a querter of one exactly. The guests were not there, as Aunt Margaret had expected them to be. Aunt Margaret told the: girls thet there were golng to be some guests from town out for dinner so they would have to clean up. The girls wondered who was coming. When the girls came down the company was there. Aunt Margaret said, “Ha, ha, we've fooled you this time, haven't we?” ‘I should say you have, Auntie. It's very nice of you to think of our Dirthéays,” sald Mary. “Oh, look! “Here comes the coach. 1 wonter who is coming to see us now,” criea Eleanor. “I hope it is Helen and Lucy.” Bure enough, it it” was, “They hed the Magazine Section of the best stories of the preceding nounce the winners weekly. tively. position.] come from town for Mary and Hlea- nor’s bitthday party. ‘The party was a great success.

I hear the bees humming, Happy summer's coming. t I walk in the shady lane, Nor felt no grief nor pain.

Beautiful Summer! Where have you fled? Autumn’s here and the flowers are dead. When the skies are dull and gray Then the winter days are on the way, Daylight fades; fast falls the night, Children play with all their might. The birdies have flown to their nests To dream of worms and take ou. rest, Come, for all thy work is done, Now 'tis time to have somo fu We're longing for winter to pai up and go, But Santa Claus will need the snow, Tha fleecy clouds and feathery enow Come when the north winds blow and blow.

East Casper School. Recdened Acsdb itt a Long Ano: LONG time ago when the early settlers came to this country, they had to travel in wagons pulled by oxen. They traveled very slowly, as the oxen are much slower than a horse, and the roads were very, rough. The only homes that the early set- tlers had in this courtry for a long time were tents and thelr wagons with canvas over them. They hed to cut down brush to Kindle their fires and also to cook. In the evenings they used the bon. fires for lights, as they had no lamps. Sometimes the white men would sit} up at night to keep the Indians away| from the camps, as the Indians were mean in those days, and would try to kill the white people. They would kill thelr oxen and use thelr skins to make gauntlets and moccasins for themselves. Some time the Indians would trade moccasins and gauntlets for some: thing to eat. The Indians used their fows and arrows for shooting and the white people used guns. Sometimes the whites would meet Indians that were kind to them, and take them to their wigwam to get warm and give them some Johnihie-| cake. But now there are very few In- @ans here, and the white people have full possession of this country.

By the time her mother joined hér she had everything ready and they opene/ the lttle fellow's mouth and poured down a little milk, “Feed ‘t often, but only give it lit tle each time,” cautioned her mother. For the next few days, Betty Jean was so busy with her new pet, Trixie, she even neglected her Aire- dale dog, Pal, who had been her play- mate since she was a tiny baby. Hé would sit in the far end of the room and watch her pet Trixie until he could stand it no longer, then he would sneak off to his kennel for the rest of the day. The Uttle prairiedog gained very fast, bis eyes opened and he would sit up on his little hind legs and beg for more milk, to the great amuse: ment of Bety Jean, who would jump up and down clapping her hands with delight, Her Joy knew no bounds when the Iittle fellow sat up on his hind legs grabbed the spoon in his forepaws and drank the milk him- ‘self. “Mamma, Trixie “is so tame T am to take him outdoors with me ‘All right, but be very careful of Pal; he is so sullen since Trixie came I believe he {# jealous because you don’t play more with him,” answerec her mother. Pal was in the yard when Betty Jean went out and at sight of her he barked with delight and bounded off in readiness for a romp, but when he saw she was carrying Trixie, his manner changed completely. He walked away in disgust and all her coaxing would not bring him rear. He sat down a short distance away and his eyes never left the little fellow who was so happy to be free, and was running all over the yard. Su¢denly, almost before you could think, Trixte darted up in front of Pal, with one leap the big dog was on him. Betty Jean saw the danger to her wee pet and screamed at the top of her voice, grabbing a big stick, she ran to where the two were and for the first time in her Ife hit Pal with all her might, he dropped Trixie and looked into her face in mute sur. prise.
