of-door friends, who must proparo their homos for tho cold
days of winter aro hard at work again.
In your tramps through tho woods which many of the
Dees havo taken during theso splendid fall days have you
watched these llttlo friends busy with their work? FaUier and Mother
Squirrel aro busily ongagod In teaching their children tho way that the nuts
must bo gathered and stored for tho wlntor; how tho homo must be made
warmer and ready for tho days when tho trees and tho ground will bo
coverod with snow?
While all those llttlo friends aro proparlng their winter quarters wo
havo somo friends who are more dependent on the work of many of tho
Busy Bees for their caro and protection during tho coming winter.
Tho family cat with hor kittens, who havo spent tho summor out of
doors, must have a place to sjeop during tho cold winter nights and It
would bo a truo kindness to these playmates to help thorn find and make
ready their winter homes.
If any Beo has no dog or cat ho or she can help watch tho trees and boo
what birds are still with us and maybo by putting a small coverod box high
in the tree you will be able to mako thoso little companions change their
plans and spend tho winter outside your window Instead of going to tho
south, whoro the days aro not so cold In tho winter time.
Perhaps some of the Busy Bees can tell others how to help these llttlo
neighbors and what they aro doing for their pets.
Little Stories

The Three Spies.
By Morton Blum. Aged 10 Years. 1141
Eighteenth street De Moines, Is.
During the revolutionary war there
lived three boys named Fred, Tom and
Ben.
These boys belong to our side and were
spying on the British. The British were
encamped about 100 miles from Philadel
phia. Tne general of the British was
General Itmo.
Our general wm George Washington.
"When General Washington heard that the
British were enoamped about fifty mites
from his amp he called Fred, Tom and
Ben and said, "I Just heard the British
camped about fifty miles from here.
I want you to spy on them," Fred said,
Tea, sir." And oft they went
Jurt as they were about halt a mile
(Airty Fred said, "Ben will so the left
Mde and Tom will go to the back and I
will go to the front and when there Is
)a stir about the camp I will send Ben
nnd then Tom to General Washington and
report."
About an hour later Fred was cap
tured and was then taken prisoner. It
came night and about 10 o'clock he peeped
out of the front of tho tent to see If the
guards were around, but as they were
around he then looked through a hole
In the back of the tent and as the guard
that was there had gone to ;ist a drink
of water Fred slid out through a hole tn
the back of the tent and got safely away.
I do not know how Tom and Ben came,
out but I guess they were not captured,
(Second Prized
Crossing the Plains in Early Days.
By Edda Mae Bnyder. Aged 10 Tears.
Provo, Utah. Blue Bide.
When my grandmother was a little girl
her folks came to Utah from the eastern
states, that was a long, long time ago when
they Used to coma with ox teams. All of
the children that were old enough had to
walk, they got very tired. After they
would camp and have supper and rest
awhile they would ofton dance, or they
would alt around the otmpflrs and sing,
One day my grandmother's two sisters,
Pollle and Clna, went In ahead of the
wagons, they kept on going until It was
almost night and then they sat down till
the wagons would oome up. They wero
frightened when they noticed It waa get
ting dark and to add to their fright thoy
heard tho shrill howl of a pack of wolves.
Then they were frightened nearly to
(loath and (rot up to go back to the wag
ons but Pollle said she could not walk
ony further and sat down again. They
heard the wolves and could tell that they
were getting closer and Clna said, "Oh.
come on. Peine, come on, the wolves will
eat us up, hurry Polly. Oh. hurry!" But
rollio eald shs could not help It beeauso
, aha was so tired. But her little sitter be.
Kan to ory and said If, you are golnr to
stay here X will stay with you. She cried
and beared her bo moeh that Pollle got up
and started. They had not rone far until
they saw the oampflra. The people had
come to a good c amplnff place before they
had gone as for as usual. When the
ciris reached the camp the folks had had
supper and the stria' beds wero made
under the wagons. PollU threw herself
onto the bed and stayed there until
morning without undressing, she was in
tired.

J. Tramp to Elmwood.

6004 Chicago St.. Omaha. Blue Bide.
One bright Sunday afternoon a friend
of mine and myself went for a tramp.
, we started about 2 p. m. for Fair Acres,
The sun was shining brightly, the birds
wera singing and the leaves were Jut
beginning to fall Here and there could
be seer! people walking and enjoying the
beautiful weather.
After having walked for quite a while
wo came to a grading camp. Signs of
peaceful repose, could be seen every-
wnerc in uie camp. The horses were
nibbling the srasi and rosy-faced chil
dren were playing about
But this was not our destination so
we kept steadily on. I
Finally wo tame to a picturesque grove,
which Is one of the entrances to Elm
wood pork This looked so Inviting that
we gave up ull hopes of walking to
fKatr Acres and started through the
grove.
We made our way to the spring und
I had a cool, refreshing drink and then
started for a pool which I had discov
ered the last time I waa there.'
The road there proved that It was very
seldom frequented. r
At last we were there. There are
some steps going down a bank and the
water flows down the steps, making a
beautiful water fall.
I christened this "The Elmwood Park
Water Fall." Having -watched the
water for quite n while we decided to
walk over to the "Baby Camp."
We found It deserted. The house waa
closed and tho only things that were
left were some spoons, pans and sand
bouses left In the sand pile.
Aa It was nearly C p. m. we started
for borne.

Riley's Poems.
By Catherine Gobs, Agod 11 Years, 124
North Thirty-first Avenue, Blue Bide.
James Whltcomb Riley was born In
Greenfield, Ind., October T, 1553.
I enjoy Mr. Riley's poems very muoh.
I think I like "Tho IWwgedy Man."
"Utile Orphan Annie," Our Hired Girl,"
and "There Is Ever a Bong- Somewhere
My Dear," beist.
He writes poems for old people and
children. Some of his poems for chil
dren are funny but many are not funny,
He writes poems mostly about nature and
tilings he sees, and his alsq writes about
when he was a boy and what he used
to do.
He loves children, and he would rather
be with them than with grown poople.
Ho often goes to the sohools In Indian
apolis, where Ms home Is, and sake If
some of the children want to go Into the
woods with him after school. Of course
all who can, are delighted to go. He
often makes rhymes about the things
In the woods und then he puts thorn Into
beautUul poems. Mr. Riley's poems are
very Interesting and I love to read them.
We have got all of his books In a sot
and I havo got a few other of his poems
bound sepurutRly.
I hope my story will miss the waste

Katherine was so anxious one day that
she decided to go while her cousins were

A Short Story.
By Walter Averlll, ZS14 mcago Street
Omaha. Red Side.
One day when I was living In Creston,
la., I was surprised to see my cousin,
who lived In a neighboring town, on tho
streets of Creston with a friend of hi.
They were In a .buggy and Harry, my
oousln, asked me to go back home with
them. I got permission from mother
and so I went I had a bicycle then and
I rode part of the way on It; tho rest
of the time Harry or his friend rode It
About three miles out of town we
Came to a big apple orchard. We
stopped the horse and wore over the
fence by the time Harry came up on
the wheel. He held the horse for Us
whllo we filled our blouses, pockets and
hands with flno, dead ripo.ljulcy apples.
As we rpde on we stuffed ourselves with
tho apples. We ate as many as we
could and saved the rest and our cores
for the horse.
Tho farms wo passed have about the
best soil there Is, for, as I suppose you
know, Iowa Is noted for Its rich, fertile
soil. We passed the county poor farm
nnd Just a little east of that we enmo to
the old rldeaway, where tho old railroad
used to bo. This 4s the best rood I
have ever seen. It Is a continual b trot oh
of very smooth, but very narrow, road,
with trees growing up .on both sides,
their tops touching each other. This Is
a very fine spin for bicyclists, as tho
rood Is seldom muddy, and there aro
throe or four miles of shady traveling.
After getting past thts wonderful pteco
of road wo soon Rot to our cousin's
house. The whole distance by wagon
road Is about twelve miles.
I was much pleased with the answer
the Reds give me to my appeal for more
stories. I was certainly glad my sub-

A Letter from Margaret.

Dogs Talk with Their Tails.
It Is no doubt a startling conclusion,
but Dr. Louts Robinson, tho English
scientist who hast been Investigating- the
mysteries of canine language, has prtio.
tlcally .set up the conclusion that a dog
speaks with his tall Up.
In the caso of all hunting' dogs which
pack together, the tall Is carried aloft
and is very free In motion. There Is no
doubt that fox hounds habitually watch
the tails of thexw) In front of them when
drawing n covert. If a faint drag1 Is de
tected, enough to suggest the presence
of a fox, but not sufficient to be swnrn
to vooallyv the tall of tho dog that finds
tho scent Is set Into motion, and, as It
becomes warmer, tho tall wags more
quickly.
Aa soon as the others see the signal,
they Join with the first, and there Is seen
on assembly of wagging tails before the
slightest cry Is made.
Should the scent prove weal: the
hounds separate again, and the wagging
grows Ices marked: but if It again h-nws
stronger, the wagging Is continued with
renewed vigor, until ono after another
tho hounds begin to whine, and yelling,
stream off In Indian file along tho lino
of the scent
AVhen the pack Is at full cry upon a
strong scent the tolls cease to wag and
aro carried along In full view. From
this, Dr. Robinson deduces that tails
are used by dogs In talking', and each
wiggle and wag of a dog's tall has Its
meaning In canine language.

Some Queer
(From his Interesting book, "The Cavo
of Aladdin.")
The custodian of a big safe deposit com
pany is always a solemn-faced Individual.
This Is not only bocause he Is responsible
for uncounted millions, but bocauso of the
astounding shocks he must receive with
out either laughing or showing anger.
The great treasure vaults have the most
curious psychological effects on many
customers. Sometimes a depositor leave
his careless, good-natured self outside and
enters tho steel-barred doors a crcaturu
of suspicion, qoubt and panic. Careful,
thoughtful business men, on the otner
hand, are often careless as little children
leaving their treasures lying about as If
they wero old newspapers.
One moment the 'custodian must re
frain from laughing at She risk of burst
ing a blood vessel and the next he Is con
fronted by a pallid, perspiring, trembling
persons who. announces that he has been
robbed and ruined and exhibits an empty
box as evidence.
Absent-mindedness is a conspicuous
peoultarlty of tho human family as rep
resented by depositors. No exemption of
class, age or sex seems to obtain.
The absent-mindedness of men of let
ters Is, of course, proverbial; so the case
of a well-known professor merely illus
trates the rule. Hastily entering tin
vault at the closing hour to secure the
manuscript of a lecture which he was
engaged to deliver that evening, h
found the unmemorlzcd matter absolutely
unooiainaoie, since, in spue or ino su
preme Importance of Immediate access to
him, he had left both keys at his distant
home, In consequence of effort combining
originality with deep research and upon
whose effects he had built high hopes,
had to be substituted, to quote his own
rueful words, by a "purely technical lec
ture." Tha luckless professor had but lived up
to tho reputation of his cult; but that
similar lapses of memory should be In
dulged In by business men and financiers,,
whose main Interests and dealings run In
practical grooves, cannot but surprise the
onlooker,
Kor Instance, of such common occur.
rence as to cause no comment is the
sight of a customer attempting to leave
' the Institution, deposit box in hand, quite
I unconscious 'that he has not returned It
to its safe In the vault, until reminded
1 by some watchful employe who recotr-
nlzes the situation.
That forgetf ulness should go so far In
the tane and normal Individual, however,
a as to cause ulter Inability to recall the
Institution In which a valuable deposit
has been left, seems almost beyond cred-

Vet such was the case with a visitor

Have you ever given more thnn a
casual glance at the pictures In the art
gallery at the public library? They are
drawing many favorable comments from
visitors to the city, who are surprised at
the excellence of the collection there.
There Is none of the usual type of "flll-lng-ln-space-plcturo"
generally found In
art galleries.
The two most Impreslve paintings In
the gallery are the large ones directly
before you as you enter; "The Departure
of the Fisherman." by Louis Paul Dessar,
and "Abandoned on the New Kugland
Coast." by Charles Howard Davis. Of
tho former, a critic says: "In The De

a religious sentiment. The people

the early morning mist about the crucifix.

Of the other of these lure eanvasr-s.

905 Lowell Tlace. Chicago. 111. "The
trouble began by my hands burning and
Itching and I rubbed and scratched them
till one day I saw little red
sores coming out My
hands were disfigured and
swollen, and troubled me
so that I could not sleep.
They were cracked and
when the small sores broke
a white matter would come
out. I could not do any
hard work; If I did tho som
would come out worse.
"For two years nobody could cure my
eczema, until one day I thought I would try
the Cuticura Soap and Ointnent I used
warm water with the Cuticura Soap and
after that I put the Cuticura Ointment oa
my hands twice a day for about five or sti
tncnths when I wai completely cured."
