Ys, f - SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1923. STORIES BY CASPER PUPILS---THE TRIBUNE'S HONOR PAGE Dan, the Faithful HERE was once a band of wild horses. They had no owner. One day when a gay young fellow went out riding, he saw this band of wild horses, He said to himself, ‘I will shoot my gun, and the horse that runs the fastest I will choose for my for my own.” He shot and all the horses ran as fast as they could. There was one horse that stayed ahead of all the rest. That was the leader of the banc. Tex, for that was the young man’s name, picked the leader of the band for his horse. The next day Tex went out and lascoed him. He gave jim sugar, apples and salt to eat to tame him. After the horse was well tamed, Tex taught him how to do y tricks and called his horse Dan. One day Dan thought he would ike to join his comrades, and so he on away, ‘ow there happened to be a cruel band of Mexicans just a short dis- tance from Tex's home. They saw Dan run away. Now they hac al- fways wanted this horse, Dan. So they fixed a trap to catch him, and succeeded. The leader of the Mexi- cans-got a long wagon whip and beat Dan until there were marks all over his back, The Mexican thought he would. break Dan's spirit and then he could ride him. So he got on again, Dan tugged and tugged and finally broke lose from the rope he was tied with. He threw the Mexi- can and when he fell, he got caught in the rope, Dan ran and he draggec the Mexican to death, This angered the rest of the band very much, and they planned on kill- ing Dan, Dan was with bis band now. ‘They got thelr guns and horses and went out. They shot down three or four horses but they could never get Dan, Now that they could not get Dan, they thought they would get ‘Tex for it. In the hills nearby was « lonely cave. No one knew of this cave but the Mexicans, They planned on tak- ing Tex here and ttying him an¢ leaving him there. ‘Tex had gone out to get Dan. The fexicans seeing him go, thought it was their chance to capture him, The| and starte¢ after him. Just as they were almost upon him he heard the pattering of feet and a familiar neigh. It was Dan. Tex mounted Dan and knowing the band would follow, made directly for a slough. Tex took the long way, avoiding the quick sand, and knew his enemies would choose the shorter way, His plan did not fail. Tex! saw ‘his enemies struggle and. sink) in the: quick sand.

Best Poem—Donald Taylor. The Magic Weed. QYNCE upon a time there was a prince who lved in a beautiful castle. All the people loved the prince's father, but his mother was a grouch and wanted her own way. One night there was going to be a ball at the king’s palace. All the nobles and young ladies came. The ‘ast one that came was a poor young lady. She was dressed in poor clothes, but she was a very pretty woman. The prince asked her where she ved and she said she had no home. The prince took pity on her and let ber stay there. One day the prince was showing the lady what was in- side the rooms. They came to one of the rooms and the prince sald that there was a secret weed in this room, and that if anybody saw it they would fall in love with the first thing that they saw, He said that nobody had ever been in that room before but himself. And he went in every day to water it, and had to be very careful with it. The Wood-Folk’s Ball, i. In the mountains, great and All the wood-folk held a sate” They held it in honor of old King Bear, And all the guests came and near. I. Of course, they all enjoyed the east; They danced and sang and jus- tled about, Until completely tired out. Old Hing Bear had a merry time, ‘00, And didn’t go home the least bit blue; They hada horn, And didnt go home until early morn. DONALD NORTON. Park School, Grade 6th, prc cthceel Ded a Harold and His Little from far violin, drum, and The young woman who was quite interested in what the prince had told her, asked: “And have you no key to your door?” ‘The prince said “Yes,” and showed her a bunch of keys. I will now go and lock the cel- lar door, Just then he heard his mother calling him. He gave the keys to the: young woman and told her to gv and lock the cellar door. He to:d her to come up again and wait until he returned. The girl took the key and went to the cellar where the prince had told her, She locked the cellar door and went back to the place where she had started from. When she got there she was standing ust out side of the room in which was the magic weed. She Icoked at the door and then at the key to the door. The prince had not yet come back, so she thought she would see for herself. She took the key, unlocked the door, and went in. There sure enough was a weed growing, But it did not lok magic, so she thourht she would touch it, an angel from the sky came down and touched her shoulder. Then rose up into the sky again, The lady looked rather queer and went back out of the rovm and lock: ed it, She then stood and waited for the prince to come back up to her. He came in a minute an@ when she) saw h'm she loved him very much. He had always loved tho lady but the, lady did not love him very much. The prince asked his father’s con- sent, but he did not ask his mother's because he know she would say “No."! About a month after they were married, their father and mother died and so the prince became king and the lady became queen and lived hap-| pily ever after. NELLIE CASH East Casper, Sixth Grate. A Dog’s Good Deed NCE tnere was a dog named Jack. He was very god to everybody. One day he was walking along the street and he met a poor man, He had ragged clothing on, and he was very hungry, Jack was very sorry for him. The man petted Jack, and he barked and went down the street. The man fol- lowed him to see where he went.| Jack went in a cave in a big hill.| There was_a table full of good things to eat. The man went in there. He} was so surprised at the focd there that he sat down and ate until he had satisfied his hunger. Then he put the rest of the things away. He was thankful to the doy for leading him there. ‘The man kept Jack and they lived) very happy ever after, . DONALD GARD. ‘West Casper, Grade 4A.

He tcok quite a large basket with him, Per- haps he would have filled the basket but soon he heard some one singing on the other side of the hedge, so he ran up to the gate, and saw there a dear little girl near it. She wore a ‘arge poke-bonhet, out of which her face peened prettily. Harold said to himself. “Why that is theglittle girl frcm kindergarten. I should like to play with her.” He had many times seen his father help his mother over the gate, so he held out his right hand and said, ail in one breath, “If you please may I help you over the sate, little girl?

Harold said, “If 1 had known you were caming, I would have left them for you, Let's go get some more.” Aline was delighted and the two children ran off together as happy as could be, full of fun and merriment.

Casper Sunday Morning Cribune The Story of the American] Flag. | Ls before men had learned to | 44 build houses, before they knew a thing about how to manufacture the bunting and silk of which our flags are made today, they used the skins of animals fasten to a long pole to show the tribe or band to which they belonged, and to signal to one an- other, Men traveling long distances through the forests knew by this whether they were in the presence of friends or foes. This was perhaps the first use of a flag. When you go to a football or basbba:l game between two great universities or colleges, you know at once by the flag and colors displayed by each team to which side they be long.

It means the freedom to do what wi think right, no matter what others may say or think, Whenever and wherever we see the flag we are proud to remember that we are liv ing in a country which 1s called b: all nations the land of the free. There are other thoughts which come to us when we sce the splen- lid colors of our flag, the red, white and blue, streaming in the wind.
