Little Stories by Little Folk
(First Trlze.)
War.
Py Mollis Cornman. S06 South Seventh
St., Omaha. Red Side.
War la ona of the most terrible things
on earth. I don't believe there ha been
any greater war than the one which Is
raging now In Europe.
What Is the use of war? Why do so
many young lives have to go to ,th
grave so early? Why does this terrible
war have to be and so much blood shed
for nothing?
Last Sunday, I think It was. I read a
paragraph In The nee that the czar ot
Russia was calling for help from "my be
loved Jews." He promises them a great
many things, hut I think that, although
he promises them now, after the war he
will forget all these promises and not
let them have anything. And the while
many young Jewish men are Joining the
army believing that the ciar really means
what ha says. The czar of Russia Is noth
ing but a cruel tyrant to the people In
Russia, especially to the Jews.
In fiermany It is all different , In
Germany the reople are all patriots and
thty would all gladly fight for their be
loved country any time they are called
on. I really don't see the difference If
they have one city more or one city less
But, of course, they know better than
I do and as they won't listen to what
President AVIlson say, they certainly
woa't listen to what I say. But I hope,
oh, so much, that this awful war will
atop soon.
(Second Prize.)
Bob.
By Dorothy Williams, Aged 11 Tears, 111
North Twenty-first Street, -Omaha.
Blue Side.
Bob la a dog, part bull and part terrier.
He waa 5 years old In May. We have
had him since he was ( weeks old. He
Is a regular "neighborhood dog." I will
tell you ot one of his experiences.
There was a family that lived near our
house who had three small children. Bob
was very fond of them and they were
very fond of him. One day their parents
decided to move. They moved about ten
blocks away. Bob didn't know what to
make of it, but one day he found out
where they hai moved. He almost talked,
he was so glad. After that he went up
very frequently. Ono night ho went up
about 10 o'clock, and the mother had to
come downstairs and let him In. We call
him the "dog tramp."

Accompanies Father.
13 y Russell Shugnrt, 2446 J Street, Lin
coln, Neb. Blue Side.
My papa is a traveling man and every
summer since I was 3 yeara old he has
taken me for a trip with him. Last
week he took me for a trip one week
long. Ve left home Monday morning.
A circus was here that day, but the train
papa wanted us to go on went so early
I did not get to see the parade.
We went first to Beatrice, then to Wy
more and then to Falls City. I went
with papa when he went to sell things
to his customers. Some of them said I
was the best "traveling man" that came
to their town. My papa sells soda foun
tains and stiver and glassware. After we
were through at Falls City papa took
me to Rulo to see the Missouri river and
the big bridge. It Is eighty feet from
the bridge to the top of the water. We
walked out on the bridge a long way,
but not half way. We taw a ferryboat
take three pairs of horses and buggies
across the river.
There was a carnival In Rulo, right in
the street, and teams, could not get
through.
We came home on a night train, but
when we got started I went to sleep.
When I woke up we had reached Lincoln.
We went home In a cab because the
street cars had stopped. Mamma and
my little sister Ina were glad to see us,
but Tna did not know I came home until
Sunday morning. Mamma gave us some
supper and I soon went to bed again.
This Is my first letter. 1 hope It gets In.

rived, waa escorted to the Indian tepees

bend-work, while the boys practiced with
their bowa and arrows. Then the mock
Indian marriage waa celebrated with
Rainbow (Katherlne Fntrlken) as the
bride, and Red Cloud (Bruce Cochran) as
the groom. After the ceremony all of the
little Indians took part in the Merry

Busy Bee. I would like to be on the Red
side. I enjoy reading the stories on the
Busy Bee page very much. I have two
sisters and one brother. I hope to see my
letter In print next Sunday.
- To the Boys.
By Morton Blum, Aged IS Tears, 640 Polk
Boulevard, Des Moines, la. Red Side.
Wendell Phillips gave a speech July
23, 165, In Muslo Hall, Boston. The
speech waa follows:
"Boys, In revolutionary days, they
talked of the Boston revolution.
"But what did Boston do? It aent Han
cock to Philadelphia to write his name on
the 'Declaration of Independence,' a let
ter large enough almost for the king to
read on the other side of the ocean.
"Now, boys, this Is ray lesson to you
today: Tou cannot be as good as your
fathers unless you are better. Tou have
your fathers' example the opportunities
and advantages they have accumulated
and to be only aa good Is not enough.
You must be better. Toil must copy only
the spirit of your fathers, and not their
Imperfections.
"There was an old Boston merchant
years ago who wanted a aet of china
In Peking. You know that Boston men
sixty yeara ago looked at both sides of a
cent before they spent? It, and If they
earned 12 cents they would save 11. Ha
could not spare a whole plate, so he sent
a cracked one, and when be received the
set there waa a crack In every piece.
The Chinese had Imitated the pattern ex
actly. "Now, boys, do not Imitate us. Be bet
ter than we are, or there will be a great
many cracka. We have Invented a tele
graph, but what of that? I expect. If I
live forty years, to see a telegraph that
will aend messages without wires, both
ways at the same time. Tou are bound
to go ahead of us. Ths old London
physician said the way to be wall was to
live on sixpence, and earn it- 'We. rannut
give education under the law of neces
sity; we can't give you that Underneath
you Is the ever watchful hand of city
culture and wealth. All the motive we
can give Is the name you bear. Bear It
nobly."
The Runaways.
By Bernard Carroll, Palmer, Neb, Red
Bide.
It has been a long time since I wrote to
you ao I will write how.
Once there lived two boys who were S
and 12 years old. One day the older was
telling the younger boy what fun It would
be to run away, so they finally agreed
upon a plan to run away. That night
when all was quiet, they slipped out and
down the road. Soon a storm came up.
They were much afraid and got under a
tree. All at once they heard a noise and
saw something coming. "It's a bear,"
said the older boy; so they ran as fast
aa they could. Soon they came to a
house. They ran In and looked around.
It was their own house. Their father
asked them where they had been and they
said, "We don't know ourselves." "Well,"
said the older boy, "I guess we had better
not run away again." I don't think they
had better, either, do you?
Wheat
By Leland Christiansen, Aged T Tears,
Bradshaw, Neb. Blue Hide.
This Is the first time I have ever writ
ten to you.
Wheat Is one of the msln gtalnV around
here. It Is one of the small grains. We
have quits a lot of wheat and other
grains such aa corn and oats. We have a
alio which we fill with corn fodder.
The wheat la very useful for living
things. It Is used for making flour and
then into bread. I like to play tn the wheat
when It is In the bin.
The chickens like the wheat very much.
They get wheat and rorn for meals.
I have a half doten chickens that are
growing nicely.

She Just has one baby and H la very cute.
