Little Stories (First Prise.) Cheerful Bob WWte. By Margaret Crosby. Aged 11 Years, - Sutherland, Neb. Blue Bide. My grandfather and grandmother lire on a large farm. They call it "Olenburnle Fruit Farm." One day early In the summer time a young married couple rame there, Mr. and Mrs. White. As soon as they reached then they began to explore the place, trying to find a good building site. At last they found a plac where Mrs. White said. "Thin hedpe of beautiful yellow roses will make shelter from the road." They didn't ask to buy a lot. but took a claim. As they were talking the matter over a bunny ran past them. Mrs. White screamed a she said, "Let us move at once; I don t like this place at ell!" Mr. White said, "Don't be afraid while I ant with you." But she kept It up until they - had to finally hunt for another place. Soon after they found a place In a beau tiful hollyhock row. Mrs. White thought this was just the place, but after a while the Jaybirds came and made such a racket, they decided to move again to a strawberry patch. One day grandmother came out to gather a few strawbeiiee. Bhe had only picked a handful or two in her baaket when she found she was In the front yard of Mr. and Mrs. White. Mrs. White fluttered and went, "Chat, cHatl" and flew out of the home, with Mr. White after her, saying, "Don't be afraid; that big thing looks to have a kind heart and will do us no harm." Mrs. White said, "I'm awfully frightened. Bob! Just you feel my heart and see how It fluttersl I am afraid If this keeps up I will coma down with nervous proatrationt" ''Don't be afraid, dearie; come back horns with me," he said cheerfully. She wouldn't come for a while, but he urged her -by cooing and making little motions until at last she came, but she was still a little frightened. Not long afterward there was a new . addition to their family. Guess what It was? It was six little "Bob Whites." Mr. While was the cheerfulleet Bob White of all. (Second Prise.) Spring Ii Here.

W must follow th road en th chance that he had taken It. But which wa-? Kennedy chose the most likely direction, for the trail had been 'at an angle to the road and Long Bin was not likely-to double back. We had not gone many rods before Kennedy paused a minute and looked about in the moonlight "It's right. Walter," he cried. "Do you recognise It?" I looked about Then It flashed over me. This was the back road that led past the entrance to ths treasure vault at Aunt Tabby's. W went on now more quickly, listen ing carefully to catch any sounds, but heard nothing. At last Kennedy stopped, then plunged among the rocks and bushs beside the road. We were at th cava. "Tou go in this way, Walter," he di rected. "I'll go around and down wher it caved in " I groped my way along through th darkness. I had gon only a yard er two when It teemed as though something had grasped my foot With a great wrench I managed to pull It loose. But th weight on my other foot had imbedded It deeper tn something. I struggled to fro this foot and got the other foot caught My revolver, which I had drawn, was Jarred from my hand and in the effort to recover It I lost my balance. Unable to move a foot In time to catch myself, I fell forward. My hands were now covered by th slimy, sticky stuff, and ths more I struggled, the worse I seemed to get entangled. Wu and Long Sin paused only a minute In astonlshmsnt Then they literally fall upon th wealth -that lay before them, gloating over the gold, stuffing their hsnds Into the Jewels, lifting them up and letting the priceless gems run through their finger. Suddenly they paused. There was the slight tinkle of a Chines bell. Kennedy had reached Aunt Tabby's Also Busy Bees up.

On day some girls and boys came down th road and said, "Com away, come and play." "No, I will not do It" she replied, so they all ran away and left her. Pretty soon she began to cry. Then a fairy appeared and asked, "What Is th matter?" She told tha fairy and th fairy said, garden outside th roof of th subter ranean chamber, where It had given way, had gon down carefully over th earth and rock, and in doing so had broken a String stretched aoross ths passageway. The tinkle of a bell attached to It aroused his attention and he stopped short, a second, to look about, Wu Ting had arranged a primitive alarm. Quickly, Wu and Long Sin blew out their lanterns whlls Wu gave th rock a push. Slowly as it hsd opened, it now closed and they stood there listening. I was still struggling In the bird llmej getting myself more end more covered with it, when the reverberation of re volver shots reached me. Wu and Long Sin had opened on Ken nedy, and Kennedy was replying In kind. In the cavern It sounded like a veritable bombardment. As they retreated, they came nearer and nearer to me and I could see the revolvers spitting fire In the darkness. So intent were they on Kennedy that they forgot me. I watched them fearfully as they hopped deftly from one stone to another to avoid the Urn and were gon. "Craig! Craig!" I managed to cry feebly. "Be careful. Keep to the atones." He strained his eyes toward the ground In the darkness, at the sound of my voice. Then he struck a match and Instantly took In ths situation which, to me, under any other circumstances, would have been ludrlerous. Supping from stone to stone, h fol lowed th retreating Chinamen.' Bu( they had already reached the mouth of the Cav and wars making their way rapidly down the road to a bend, In the opposite direction from which w had com. There Wu' automobile was waiting. They leaped Into It and th driver, without a word, shot ths car off Into tha darkness of early dawn. A moment later Kennedy appeared, but they had made their getaway. Baffled, he turned and retraced his steps to the cane. I don't think that I ever welcomed him "No on loves cress little girls. Tou must he sweet and cheerful." So she ran on tn play with the atria and boys and they sll played happy totether. One-Lrfg-ed Robin. Josephine Jark, Aged 11 Py Tears, Beatrice. Neb. nine jside.

As soon as the t'nlted States hud bought thin country. President Jefferon sent Captain Meriwether Iewls and Cap tain William Clark with forty-five other men to explore It. They were going to go tip the Mlasourt river as tar as they could, then cross the Rocky mountains "rn ln '' '' wr to mnke maps, bring back reports of the land and make friend with the tribes with which they came In Contact It was a wild land of which white men knew very llttlo. Indians and wild animals had their home there. No one knew the way across the mountains to th Pacific. Iewls and Clark started from mouth of the Missouri May 14, 1M. They had one large boat with a sail and twenty oars, and two smaller boats with oars only. They had powder, lead, tools and trinkets to trade with the Indians. They had two horse for their hunter to rid In order to help them carry th gam which they killed for the party. The Lewla and Clark party made about twenty mile a day up the Missouri river. Part of the time they used the aall and part of the time the oars, and a great part of the time they pulled the boats with long ropva which the men held while they walked along the shore. It waa two months before they reached Nebraska, at the mouth of the Nemaha river, not far from the village of Rulo, In Richard son county. Here they found Indians, wild plums, cherries and grapes. On July IS they were at the mouth of I the I .It tie Nemaha river, and on July 24 they were at the mouth of the Weeping Water In Cass county, where they killed a large yellow wolf. The next day they reached the mouth of the Platte river and camped a little way above It. They sent out runners to the village of the Otoes near the place where the Elkhora flows into the Platte. After resting end repairing their boats they went on past the alte of Omaha, and en July SO reached a high bluff near th present town of Fort Calhoun In Wash ington county. Here they ramped. The hunters brought In deer, wild turkeys and geese. Catfish were caught In the river and the men tamed a beaver.
