The Little Busy Bees' Own Page
T
HERE ar fewer lttri oa tb Children's page today than there
tave been for several months. Surely the Busy Be- are not. '
losing Interest la their very own page. Perhaps their atten-
tion is entirely taken up with the beginning of school and that )
when they settle dowTi to the regular routine of school work, !
they will hav some leisure to give to letter writing. '
Of course, the Busy Beea should not neglect studies' for pleasure.
School Is the principal business rigM now. But out of business hours. Busy
Bees, remember tho Children's page.
Writing for for the Children's pa&e is a good thin? for the E".s Tees
because it gives them practice in composing letters and stories which have
definite purpose to interest all the other Busy Bees. Aad who knows j
out wna. some or the authors and authoresses of the future will be devel
oped through writing for the Children's page?
Reading the Children s page broaden the Interests of the Busy Bees
because It enables them to learn what boys aad girls In different parts of
the country are doing and thinking about. There is a Busy Bee away out
la Washington state who is very Interested in reading what Bees In Ne
braska are doing. There is a Bu3y Bee down ia Oklahoma who enjoys noth
ing better than finding out from the Children's page what boys and girls in
Iowa, Wyoming and ai! the other states are thinking ahou.

My Trip to Morris.
By Pea the Alrea ghelton. Aged 13 Tears,
Box M. Checotan, Okl. Red Side.
Last year about this time I began
school la Morris, Okl.. twelve miles
Berth, and eighteen miles west of here.
At that time I had a dear young mar.
tied sister living there.
Her husband bad charge of the tele
phone works, and aa the place was
strange and new. and my big curly
haired brother-in-law had to ba away
sometime quit late, they asked mamma
to pleas let me come and go to school
from their home. So mamma Just got me
ready and we loaded up my belongings
aad drove our Topsy horse over the coun
try to their place.
They were doing housekeeping on
the second floor ot :ie same building
where the telephone o.i:ce was. On the
little dusty. Our Topsy horse did not
much like our loading up. She seemed
to know we were dividing our family up,
and every time she got a chance she
would try to turn to the east or south.

Then - we turned north from there and
came out Into a thick wood but such
a clean, beautiful wood.
About the time we thought the trip
almost a parade, the big files began on
our dear old Topsy horse. She kept her
tall busy and we kept a brush busy, too.
Besides those big ones were the flttle
green nit Cles. This lasted for about
flv miles.
Then we came eut t a beautiful open
ing with, the oil fields In sight. Each
oil well has a large derrick built up,
running several hundred feet In the Sin
Then there are big oil tanks sitting
around which hold hundreds ot barrels
of oil. One of these big wells is at this
present time on fire and wa can see the
blase leaping tn the air from here, over
twenty miles away.
At half past 3 o'clock w arrived In
Morris to se the glad arms of my sis
ter outstretched to meet us. This being
Saturday, mamma stayed over Sunday
to let the horse rest up and also to visit
a day. Monday morning she left for her
home and reached It at high noon, and
'phoned right back to us. We were glad
to hear her voice and know she was safe.
Well, going back when she came after
ma was about the same, only our Topsy
hors got sick and were were from day
light to . t o'clock that evening on the
road.
W met two big negroes and also a
wagon load of Indians, which gave us
quit a scar, so w felt sick, too. when
w got back. Would tell more but this
story la too long now.
That dear sister Is dead now and it
left ma lonesome aad sad. W have her

lUd Side.
One morning when I was visiting la
Chicago, wa went downtown shopping.
Than took a launch at tha drainage canal
to Lincoln park.
We enjoyed the ride as It was cool on
tha water After landing we went to the
children's sanitarium. This sar.irsrvm
was for poor sick children. They doctor
and nurs them. W enjoyed looking at j
the ban lea In little hammocks. ar.d some
comfortably asleep in their beds.
After a while we went to the conserva
tory building. The building Is beautifully
built of glass. It la upon a little terrace.
There were gardens of geraniums and
foliage all around It: also, there was a
beautiful fountain, throwing Its spray of
water On entering the building all we
could see from top to bottom was palms
and ferns of every Imaginable kind.
After seeing all the flowers we got some
peanuts and fed the squirrels Once In a
while we would see a squirrel burrow In
the ground and bury one or two. They
were so tame that they would eat right
out of our hands. As It was getting late
we took the path homeward.

Little Elsia was 10 years old and pos

On day a stranger rang the door bell
and It tell to Elsie to open the door.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, little girl: is your
mamma at home, and may I herr
"Why, I could take your message to
her."
"Oh. vour mamma's engaged?" ex
plained the strangei.
No yjro' ilam.ca's married."
