TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 24, 1900.
UR FAITHFUL little Busy Bees, Slgrld Sand wall and Ingrld Sand-
Owall, who are spending several months abroad with their parents,
do not forget the Children's page, and still take a great interest In
it. Tbey are spending most of their time in Sweden and will later
visit Paris, France find Berlin, Germany. The Busy Bees enjoy
these interesting letters of travel very much and hope they will send some
more. One writes for the Red side and one for the Blue t'.i.
Ronald V.'jcotf of Wilbur, Neb., the new king of the Busy Bees, writes
that he is pleased thit the children elected him king. The Busy Bees would
like to have both thfj king and the queen send in their pictures for the page,
V would like to bave pictures of any of the little writers and the pictures
will be returned to them as soon as they ar. printed.
So far this month the content between the Red side and the Blue side Is
Just even. Four prizes have been won' by each side. The Busy Bees must
be careful and not write on both sides of the page, for that is against the rules
of the page. The stories written on both sides of the page are not always
thfown in the waste basket, but they are never awarded a prize.
Prizes were awarded this week to Helen Johnson of Lincoln, who Is as
sisting the Red side, and to Sadie B. Finch of Kearney, on the Blue side.
Honorable mention was given to Ruth D. Guyer of Fort Crook, on the Blue
side. All three writers are regular contributors to the Busy Bee page.

WHEN Hallowe'en at last does come,
The boys, and the girls, too,
Go slyly looking 'round to find
What mischief they may do. .
Gates are marked, barn doors are found
In village and in town;
And little mischief-makers plan
To turn things upside-down.
Tick-tacks mysteriously appear
On maiden ladles' doors; '
Reproduced from St. Nicholas.
And every sort of thing is piled
'Gainst fronts of shops and stores.
Queer signs are made and hung in style
Where ne'er a sign Bhould be;
And now you'll see a tub. or gate
High up In some tall tree.
It is the time for jokes and pranks
When Innocence holds sway;
And every child in all tho land
Should bave a Jolly Day.
tore In Chicago. While there, one day we
met a colored student and his wife, but
they were not quite as dark as some of the
Omaha colored people.
We see children here every morning going
to school. 'The Swedish people want their
children to be well educated and. by law,
every child has to be sent to school at the
ge of five years. We have not started
school yet because papa and mamma have
been undecided about staying here on
aooount of the strike that Is still hanging
on. Tou can see men going on the streets
everywhere doing nothing and It seems a
pity because they are not able to support
their families.
I must tell you about the beautiful palace
In which the king and queen Mve, It con
tains eight hundred rooms and Is located
on the edge of the harbor. It Is considered
one of the finest buildings of Europe, but It
looks to me like a rather lonesome place.
I suppose I am not used to seeing such
large grand rooms of state.
Another thing here that Is worth seeing
la the church where alt the royal people are
burled, called Rlddarholms kurkan. It was
built by King Magnus Wrgersson In the
- year 1270. It haa not been used for gospel
servloe since th.year 1807, only on certain
occasions and then Just for mentorlal ser
vices. I saw the coffin of Charles XIT,
Oustaf Adolphus and many others, but
where the crowd gathered the most was
at the vault where King Oscar was peace
. fully laid at rest, 1907.
Tou can still see the beautiful and
costly ribbons that were , attached to
the flowers and wreaths that were sent
from different countries; but, ohl this is
too lonesome a place for me, t wanted to
get out ameng the living, so on we went
to the exposition, which changed our mind
to a different spirit
The exposition was a great success, It
was called the White city and looked
something like the one Omaha had In the
year 189. according to my papa's state
ment. It was visited by between seven
and eight thousand people a day.
If we decide to go back to American we
might go by the way of Berlin, Germany
and Paris, France, and If w do I will
write you a letter from these places. Hop
ing you are all well and happy as I am.
.Ever yours, a BUST BEE.

Lois' Dream.
she had a little garden all her own, filled
I thank you for nor throwing my last
letter In the waste basket I felt quite proud
of your asking me and my sister to write
again. I told you In my last letter I would
send you a line when we came to Stock
holm. I felt sure that some of my friends
wished that they could come and see this
beautiful city. There are lots of children
here and a great many little boys and girls
that are very poor, but oh! how polite
they are. The boys take their cap off as
quick, and the girls, they bend their knees
a little and courtesy, a sign of respect My
sister and I and little brothsr had to
learn these things when we came to Swe
den. I tell you my little brother, who Is
4 years old, can make the nicest little bow
you can Imagine. But I was going to tell
you some thing about Stockholm. I saw
What was to be done with the lea! But
they enmn to no conclusion. Soon two
more ships sailed proudly Into the bay,
namely the Eleanor ami Beaver. On I'e
cember IS the colonists again assembled
and the same men made their speeches
burn with enthusiasm. Finally some one
asked If tea wouldn't mix with snlt water.
At this, they nearly rained the roof with
their loud applau-e. Then Samuel Adams
arose and said. "We can do no more to
save the country." Suddenly, such a
hideous warwhoop arose tnt all the sub
jects of old King Philip couldn't have
made a more hideous sound. They ran
down to Griffin's wharf and with buoy
tomahawks had, before 9 p. m., thrown
342 cheats Into the bay. Swift riders car
ried the glad tidings everywhere and
church bells seemed to Peal gladder and
louder than ever before.
No! Ne'er has mingled puch a draught

As freemen brewed and tyrants quaffed

True Friendship.

"Mother always said that was tine."
moaned Dovey one morning :in she was set
ting ready for school. "Surely she dors
not think I said that."
Dovey had lost her t est friend and
through no fault of her's, fcithcr. In times
past she and Esther had been as true to
each other as friends could be.
An exhibit had been given by a man who
wanted to help some who might have a
talent for drawing. Esther had won and
so ehe went to the city to study. Some way
It got out that Dovey said Bhe copied her
drawing. Here the bonds were broken ami .
Esther went to the city without so much a
bidding Dovey good-bye.
While Dovey was In her room' thinking
of Esther, her mother handed her a lerrer.
It was directed to lior In Esther's Wid-
writing and from that city too. w
Her fingers trembled sh sho broke the
seal. Much to her surprise, it contained
another letter, addressed to Esther. It ran
like this:
"Dear Esther:
"Dovey did not say that about you. It
was Jane. She told me all atmut It, but was
so ashamed she couldn't tell yi u.
; "Your dear friend,
"Louise."
'Oh, mamma, come here!" she cried."
Her mother came and Dovey told her the
story. "Mamma," she said, "I am going
to Esther this day. My letter wan from
Louise and she said Jano told that. Louisa
mailed It to Esther and Esther thought it
ws from me, and didn't open it, but mailed
It back again. Her mother was surprised
but said nothing and Dovey started for the
city.
Imagine Esther's surprise, when she went
down the stairs of the hotel to find Dovey
waiting for her. A cloud passed across
her fair face, but raised after she had
read the letter. "And to think I should
have accused you of saying that," was
all she could say.

The disappearance of the S cent i.lecu has

fully slumbering in sundry lurte fat can van
bags In the vaults of a certain electrical
manufacturing company of Chicago. They
are not for sale Just yet.
Each of the coins is an evidence of potlt
larceny.
Tears ago the company equipped many
telephone pay stations with dime slot ma
chines. It was supponed that they -ould
be worked only with dlimo. The J cent
pieces were becoming rsre and no thought
was taken of them.
Hardly six months passed beforo one
of the telephone companies discovered that
the collectors were yielding a harvest of 8
oent pieces. Then from all over the coun
try cam. similar complaints.
Each company forwarded th. plerea to
th. manufacturing company and more or
less politely asked that a corresponding
number of dime, or a ch.ck for an equiv
alent amount b. sent back in exchange.
A council was held at the oftioe of the
manufacturing company. The cost of cor

that a balance was In favor of the S-cent
piece, and It was decided to accept the
pieces as dimes.
Gradually th. In pour of S-cent pieces
narrowed down to an Intermittent current.
The company seemed to have about all the
pieces. v
