week, as jou will see by reading the iwsc, there is a variety in

Two of the Bees who have come to Ameriia from the coun

of the sea voyage, but from different viewpoints. There is the
Mory of another trip, but one which was. unplanned and almost hud a dig
ital reus ending.

keep hint In practice," as he explained
to Flossy, who was standing near, the
overtaxed animal got Into a rage and even
had the trainer a bit uneasy. Having
dealt with animals all his life, the fellow
understood how Impossible It waa to man
age an elephant once he b"came Infuri
ated. nd for once during his acquaint
ance with old Alexander the (Jreat the
trainer felt that he had pressed the beast
too far. He cracked thewhip about the
angry animal s head, threatening hlin. as
was his way when training, but Alex
ander atlll ragrd. tossing his trunk about
wildly, and trumpeting loudly.
"!el away-go beyond the topes'" cried
the trainer to Flossy, for the little girl
had gone Into the big lot with the trainer
that morning.
Hardly had he hpoken when Alexander
caught him round tha waist with his pow
erful trunk and held him quivering In the
air. Then, as if revengeful for the way
he had been treated, the angry beast tossed
his keeper Into a farther end of the lot on
a mound of ha .
Having rid himself of the domineering
trainer, old Alexander turned for fresh
prey, his rage still possessing him. It la
possible thai at that very moment he felt
'a resentment against all human beings,
for through iluni hu was in captivity.

Starfish and Crabs.
By Helen Verrill. Queen Pee. Aged It
Years. The Strehlow-, No. V. Omaha,
N'eb. Hlue Side.
Last summer 1 went east and spent he
summer on an Island, and two very In
trrratiiiK things were the starfishes and
baby crabs.
Every morning I imed to get up early and
go out when the tide was low and pick
up starfish. I often got ns many as
twenty-five or thirty in one morning. The
funny thing about them Is they have five
arms Just like a star, and on the end of
each arm la an eye, so they have five
eyes. There are two rows of legs or feel
ers, I'm not sure which, on each arm.
They cannot walk very fast and they very
rarely try It, but cling to the rocks, where
the waves left them, and wait for the
tide to come in and get them.
They way to tell the different kinds of
starflah Is hy a little colored spot in the
middle of what looks like their hack. The
spot Is their ctoniacli and the most com
mon kind have an orange stomach and
rare kinds have other Colored stomachs. I
put a lot In the sun and dried them and
brought them home; they are very pretty.
They are all sizes.

A Trip from England.

South Eighteenth Street. Omaha. N'eb.
I will tell about my trip over the water
from England. We sailed on the fourth
day of March, W7. We started from Liv
erpool and stopped at yueenstown. where
a lot of people got on. Then we went
right on until we got to about the middle
of the ocean; then we stopped for mail.
We were pretty seasick. I do, not want
to cross the water again. We saw a lot of
whales. We fed them with bread. There
was a man died on board. They put him
In a box and weighed It with weights to
make It sink. We saw some large ice
bergs which the ship nearly collided with.

As 1 started out of a European port.
Rotterdam, for New York. I h.id to go
twelve days by a large ocean lramcr. For
twelve days I didn't see anything but the
aliy, the ahlp and the his waves of the
ocean.
Aa the city of Rotterdam Is a fp' miles
from the ocean, they dug a big canal for
the large ocean steamers to enter.
The first day that f was on the ship, not
knowing that 1 was on the canal. It
seemed straige to me that everybody fears
to go across the ocean. The waters were
still and it was a phasan. evening, so t
went to sleep.
I came here myself v hen I was io years

I said, "Irft us go up on the deck."
W'e went up on the deck and. seeing the
ship swlnalng In the big waves, I said.
"Where are we now?"
From this time I found out the mis
take I made the first Jay when I was on
the canal. I had to go twelve days before
I came to New Y'ork on this stormy ocean,
spending all of this time In alckness.
The last day when I awoke I found my-
