Busy Bees -:- Their Own Page
WELL, was Santa Cliui good to all the Busy Bce?
I hope he did not overlook any of th Busy Beea and that
each one of our kingdom received Just what he or she would
like to have best. In all your happlne, do not forget those
1pm fortunate than yourself and If there Is anyone In your
neighborhood whom you think Santa has forgotten, talk It over with
mother, and sho will suggest a way to bring a little holiday cheer to them.
The prUe offered several weeks ago for the best Christmas story wag
won by Anna Tosvar of the Blue aide. There were ever so many good
stories, but In some the writers did not adhere to the rules. Some sent In
tbotr stories written In pencil and on both sides of the paper, so that they
were not eligible for the prize.
Votes are pouring In for the new King and Queen of the Busy Bee
kingdom, who are to be announced the first Sunday In January. Bend In
your votes early, children, the King to be chosen from the Red Side and
the Queen from the Blue side.
Leona Walter of Wahoo voiced a beautiful thought when she wrote to
the editor to cast a vote for her for King and Queen. "Choose some one
who has not yet won a prize book or won honorable mention, so that they,
too, may derive a little pleasure from the page," she writes. That Is a
very kind and thoughtful Idea to pass along, Leona.
A former Busy Bee Queen, Alice Elvira Crendell of Chapman, Neb.,
who waa visiting her aunt In Omaha last week, called on the editor nnd
extended her greetings to all the Busy Bees.
All the way from Phoenix, Ariz., comes a letter and story this week
from Warren Blakely, who wishes to Join our circle. A hearty welcome Is
accorded him.
Edith Wolter of the Red Side won the prize book this week. Leona
Walter of the Blue side and Elva Erlckson, also of the Blue side, were
awarded honorable mention.

I am a dear, rood old man. My birth

I visit the poor, rlrh and good boys and

which change their sadness to gladness.
I bring- present to thoae who obey
their father and mother and do their
duties a they are told, a I think they
hould do that.
I receive many messages from the chil
dren. Everybody want something. Ih
order to please them I fill my pack Just
a the messages come In so I could be
sure to be nearly ready for my Journey.
But there Is more to do before I atart. A

If there will be any, but I have to be
prepared for It. If wa won't have any
anow on Christmas I will fly In an air
ship, as they are now tn use.
I crawl through the chimney and be

Vow. Home chimneys are so narrow that
t cannot crawl through. Then people
Wonder why I don't visit their homes.
Borne children are bad, so they see the
reasons I fill the stockings of those who

Christmas and they were wondering
what Ranta Clnus would bring them.
After dinner Nellie's mother called her
to come and wipe the d'ahea.
"All right, mamma," said Nellie.
The children had planned to go sleigh
riding In the afternoon, but when Mrs.
Houghton called Nellie Bhe took the
towel and wiped the dishes.
Then they took their sled and went to
ride. When they got tired of this they
went to build a snow man. It was but
half completed when they felt cold and
went Into the house. They stayed In the
house all of the rent of the day. When
It Was time they went to bed.

. The Chriitma Gift.
By Katherlne Z-plln, Awed lo Years, Wrst
roint, iNeo. jtiue Biu.
Once there was a woman who had a
llttlo girl who never saw any Christmas
tree nor any Christmas rresents. One
Christmas eve after the little girl had
gone to bed her father and mother were
thinking how thry could make their little
girl happy. Suddenly they heard a noise
at the window. Her father and mother
ran to the window and aaw a fat man
with a long beard trying to get In. They
went outside to look for him, but they
had frightened him away. When they
came Into the house again they went to
bed. Aa she did not expect any presenta,
the little girl got up In the usual way.
After ahe had eaten her breakfaat ahe
took the crumbs from the table to throw
war was going on a new gold field waa
found In Montana. The m st direct route
to the new gold m'nes was over the
Oregon trail to Fort Laramie, and from
Fort iAramle north through the Powder
river country to the mines. A commis
sion came from Washington to Fort
Laramie In the summer of ltet, to make
a bargain with the Sioux for, this new
road. Spotted Tall and the Brules were
willing to make the agreement. They dll
not hunt In that region. Red Cloud and
the Oglalaa refused because the Powder
Illver country was their best buffalj
hunting ground. They had conquered It
from the Ctjwb. They had seen the white
people pouring In everywhere, the Union
Pacific railroad waa being built, the buf
falo were being killed off, and even while
they were holding the council at Fort
Laramie reglmtnia of soldiers arrived
there who were to make the new forts
on the new road. The Oglala chiefs
rcss to leave the council. As they dki
so Red Cloud placed tils hand upon his
rtfle and said. "In this and In the Great
Spirit I put my trust." The new roads
were opened and the forts were built
n the summer of IS6&. Re 1 CI ud became
the leader cf the war against the whites.
Every day came news of fighting on
the road to the Montana mines. Decern

diw Colonel Fetterman and ninety-six
soldiers Into an ambuscade near Fort
Phil Kearny In Wyoming, and every
while man was killed. (
There waa an outcry In the country
against the invasion of Red Cloud
country without hi consent. A great
peace commission was named at Wash
ington with General Sherman at Its head.
This commission came to Fort Laramie
In I, and made the treaty called 'The
ureal Fort Laramie Treaty of lfs. For
more than forty years this treaty was
regarded by the Sioux aa the great char.

Mischievous Boys.
By Dolorls Yetter, Agd 12 Years, Fuller
ton, Neb. Blue S'de.
This Is another story of my father
when he was a boy. One night his father
and mother left thtf children to them
selves. That night they played "blind
man's buff," and when they had one
of tUa boys UUd(oUwV.Abay. would lift
up tho trap doojr and iiove. the door so
the person would ' not know they had
'.Ukf.1 tho Joor aw'ay- Then the person
would " fsfl ' rn(o''lheTlro1erwhrcliv was
under tho house. Now what would our
mother thing of that? ; :.
They would have lots of fun swimming.
Another day when they, were at home
alone there waa a black rooster which
my uncle Orvll cwillod' ' his and he
thought lots of It. , My uncle Orvll said:
"Watch me shoot my rooster." Ho never
thinking he shot the gun off. It was
an old gun which they shoot paper wads
In It. It hit tho rooster on. the back
of the neck taking the feathers' and skin
off. Orvll was so filghtened-he- began
to cry, saying he had killed hi old; black
rooster. Now that was funny. Their
father and mother were coming an4 he
picked up his rooster and. hid It under
the manger and covered It with straw,
but his mother and father found It out,
and his rooster died a few day later.
. One day a they were sitting down at
the table one of the boys threw some
corn dough, which we call corn bread.
The bread hit papa on the side of the
head, which hurt for some time. The
bread was flying in ever direction.' They
had to pick up the bread from the floor
for their dinner. Now what would our
mother think of that? Father tells of
Dy A. E. Sheldon
to the Amer'can people.' The treaty of
18 8 prov.ded that every Sioux over 4
years of age rhould receive from the
I'nlted Statea every year one suit of
clothes, 110 In money, and rations at the
late of one p und of meat and one pound
of flour for each day. To every Indian
who began farming, the United Statos
would Issue one cow, one yoke of oxen,
and S3) in money. The new road through
the Powder Hlver hunting grounds was
to be given up and all the soldiers from
there wit hd awn. The Sioux were to
have the right to hunt upon the Platte
and Republican as long as buffalo were
there. 8 ho Is were to be established
for all the Sioux children. On their part
the Kloux agreed to keep peace with the
white and to permit the Union Pacific
road to be built.
The treaty of 186J wa regarded as a
great victory for Red Cloud. Ha bad
beaten tin white man In battle. They
had abandoned their forte and left him
hi hunting grounds. Yet Red Cloud
wss one of the last of the Indians to
sign the treaty. Spotted Tall and other
Brule chiefs "touched the pen." as the
Indiana call it. on April 29, lat, May 15
many of the Oglala chiefs. Including Sit
ting Bull. aian-Arrald-oMIls-Horsea and
American horse, signed. Red Cloud sent
word that he would not sign until the
soldier were sent away. In August the
forts wero abandoned, and on November
, IStiS. Red Cloud signed the treaty with
Father Ie Bmet as a witness.
The signing of the treaty of 186S ended
the Sioux war for Red Cloud and Spot
ted Tall. Fro mthat time each of these
chiefs tried to secure the rights of h's
reopl tn council rather than In war.
Slno the two tribes were now to be fed
and clothed by the government, a place
was to be selected where this should be
dons. The chiefs visited Washington tn
lt.70, snd met President Grant In 1871
the old Red Cloud Agency wa located on
the north bank of the North Platte river
rear the Nebraska-Wyoming line, about
a m le from where Henry, Neb., now is.
Here the Oglala and Bru'es were fed
In JST2.
