TKE OMATTA SUNDAY BEE: MAT 21, 1911.
E
TRA.NGE that more of the Busy Beea hare not been out TlalUng
' the parka, or out In the wooda gathering wild flower.
Oh, lome of you have been? Well, the rest of ua would
like to bear fibout those excursions. Won't you write ua and
tell of the tramp over the billa and down the ravines to pluck
the violet or the columbine? We would like to read of the ex
cursions and eh a re your pleasure In finding the blossoms.
When you got back from the trip you no doubt-were tired, and hungry,
and sleepy, from being out In the sun and wind. But the next day, or the
next, you could remember your sensations and had time to write.
If all the Bees would write of flower excursions, picnics or the summer
games, we would have a great many good stories fori the page. Try It

At Elmwood park, half way down on the
aide ot a green hill, a spring babbled out
and sparkled like heaps of dew. We had
a drink out of our handa. A big elmwood

kind friends, for the spring flowed back
into the hill to water the roots of the elm.

the branches of the poplar tree, which
was like any other tree then.
Now, this pot of gold belonged to the
Goddess of the Rainbow, who was Ju
piter's sister. Bo she asked him to ask
the gods and goddensrs If they bad seen
the pot of gold, but nobody had seen It.
So he came to earth and the trees held
up their branches to show that they had
not the pot of gold, and all of a sudden
the pot of gold came from the branches
of the poplar tree. She was so ashamed
that after that she always held up her
branches to show that she was Innocent,
because the man had put the pot of gold
in the branches of the poplar tree.
To this day the poplar holds up her
branches.
