TfTK OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANTARY 19, 1913.
The Busy Bees
klNDNESS and thouglitfuJness are two qualities in the Uvea of
K
a young boy or girl which aro very neccaoary for tho making
of a good man and woman, and it la nice to know that most
of the Busy Boca hare these qualities.
Three letters havo been received this week from Busy
Bom who have received their prizes, and tho editor appro
elates tho effort made by theso young people in -writing letters
acknowledging tho receipt of their books. It is always nioo to know that
the winners enjoy the books which they receive for prizes, nnd when tho
editor receives thoughtful little notes of this kind she Is well aware that
the writers must be thoughtful of other things in mnny other ways.
Dean Tancock said not long ago that unless someone was thoughtful
of tho little squirrels and birds during tho winter they might go hungry.
I wonder if many of the Busy Bees think to boo if these little friends ovor
get plenty to eat when tho ground is covered with snow and they aro not
able to find their usual food. Perhaps some have already glvon food and
shelter to theso little friends, and if they have, won't thoy pleaso write somo
tories about it.
There are many now members of tho page who live out of town, nnd
the Busy Bees who live in Omaha would llko to know what tho out-of-town
members do during the winter days.
Little Stories
(First Priie.)
The Adventures of a Penny
Jiy Inilse Congdon, Aired 13 Years, Car
roll, Neb. niuc Bide.
On morning I lay In a very dark room
Inside of the earth.
Soon I heard a noise and something
touched me. Then I heard a voice say,
"Ha! I am In luck. I hare struck some
thing which looks like copper."
He put me In' his pocket and carried
Jne to a place where I wits put In a
machine. When I waa taken out I was
very shiny and I thought I waa very
tfietty.
I was nest taken to a big building
called a bank. On the front of ma was
a Mg Indian's head and under that were
these numbers "1899."
Soon a kind lady came In and Land
somo more of my comrades were given
to her.
From there I was put Into a little
girl's hand who exclaimed, "DI4 I ever
see such a Uttle beauty. I will put it
away with my other presents.
From there I have wondered many
places. My color Is so changed and I
feet so ugly when I look at myself now,
and think ofwhen I was so very bright
and pretty,

although they did help their mother.
When Eugene and Patricia were told to

Tho Christmas holidays were drawing
near and Patricia was going to make

Why Robins Have Red Breast;.
By Marjorle Jessup, Aged 12 Tears. si4
Davenport Street, Omaha. Bed Side.
Once upon, a time there lived a wood
cutter, his wife and 'their baby, james.
James was almost S years of age. They
lived In the woods In a house made of
logs which James' father had built.
One day as the woodcutter waa coming
home from work he found a Uttle robin
that had fallen from Its nest. lie tool:
tt home and his wife fed It, and when It
waa able to fly they were going to let It
go, when it began twittering its thanks
so beautifully thst It seemed to say, "I
will help you somo time when you are tn
trouble." Then It flew away, twittering
all the more beautifully.
Ona day the woodcutter had gone t)
work and bis wife had made a fire out
doors to bum up some of the leaves. As
It drew near evening she went into tin
house and began to prepare her dinner.
In the meantime James had crept out
Joora and was playing on the ground near
the fire (as It was sttlll burning), when
r high wind came up and started the
leaves to blowing. One blew on James'
lap and bis clothes began to burn.
Just then the little robin was flying
by, who saw James waa heirless and he
twittered and said. "I will help you In
just a minute.'"' Ho. flew down and be
gan to beat the fire out with his wings.
By this time James mother had heard
him and started out to see what was tho
tnatttr. But before she was near Jsinis
the robin had beaten the fire'- out, but
Willie beating it out his breast had bn
tfrorched and he waa In great pain. He
knew that he was going to die, so he
called out, "I have aaved someone's life.
Just as they saved mine." James' mother
picked the robin up and tried to save .ts
life, but It died soon after.

Oar BoaJ.
By Surah Faler, Aged 11 Years, 11 South
Tenth Street, Omaha, Neb. Blue Side.
Freddy and I quarrel sometimes, but
not always. We don't like quarreling, and
yet somehow wc can't holp It; and Freddy
will want everything his own way bo-
) causo, he Is the cldor, and that Isn't
fair. I ought to have my way some
times, I think.
Mother gave us a boat not long ago
a beautiful boat, with a sail und a dingy
and overythlug complete, and It was
to be between us. Bo wo took off our
shoes nnd stockings and went down by
the quay to sail our boat. It sallod as
nicely as any boat could, and we were
so pleased with It, but In splto of that
wo began to quarrel. You nee, Froddy
wanted to call the boat th "Amy,"
after Amy Stevons, a lltle g'rl v have
mt on the, beach this summer, froddy
thinks her as pretty us a falfy, Mt I
don't, though she's very Jolly somotlmes,
and can play at anything. Well, Freddy
would have the boat called "Amy," and
I wanted It to be, "Laura," after mother,
because she gave us the boat, and we
love her, better than anyone else In the
world. And then we quarreled. I sup
pose we made a nblse quarreling poo-
pi generally do for suddenly we found.
that Amy was watching and listening,
and then Freddy turned very red and
did not say anything for some minutes.
"look here, Sarah," he said at last,
''I'll give you my share of the boat, and
then you shall call It what you like."
"Oh, no!" I said, "you must have half
and so you shall, for If .you give mo
your share I'll give you mine,"
8o we settled It very nicely in thut
way, and called the boat "Miura Amy;"
and all the afternoon Amy Stevens played
tnat sne was tne captain anu we were
th sailors.
A Naughty Boy.
Frances Kritenbrink, Aged 10 Tears, 24SS
South Twentieth Street, Omaha,
Neb- Hed Side.
Once upon a time thero was a Uttle
boy, and he was very naughty. Ho also
made his teacher mad by not learning his
lessons. II was sent every clay to tho
professor to got a licking. Finally tho
llttlo boy, which I will call James, made
up his mind tobe-good. One day the
the teacher gave him a note to take. She
said, "Give this to the professor," So
the good Uttle boy knocked at the door.
The old professor roughly said, "Is It you,
JainesT" Then James answered. "Yes.
sir." "Come here, you mischievous boy."
The professor came by the door and took
hold of him and spanked him, and
spanked htm very linrd. Then the Uttle
boy said. "What have I done?" "I
know without you telling me," the old
professor said. James pulled from his
pocket a note. "1 didn't think I did any
thing wrong." The. professor looked nnd
then said, "You poor boy, I thought you
were sent up for a spanking." Then lie
felt sorry for. James. He sajd. "Tell the
teacher I will be down before school dis
misses," The professor never was sj
quick to lick after that.
King James.
By Morton Blum, Aged lott Years, 6S9
Polk Boulevard,' Des Moines,
About 2,000,000 -years ago there lived a
boy named James.
Ills mother was dead and his father
was poor and he Jived at the bottom of
"King's Hill" and the king of that
country was, "King Joseph."
One day James' father died, poor James
waa now alone,
He thought of the king's palace, so he
started up th hill and reached It In
safety, h went and asked for the king
and the king came and asked hlra what
ha wanted, Jams told him what he
wanted: to be a knight
The king said. "U I make you a knight
and wUl you be truthful and obedient.".
I said, "Yes. sir." So James became a
knight, after a time the king died.
There was nobody to take his place.
Th people said, "James was a brave
knight he ought to be king," so that
night he wa crowned king.
He became such a good king that wtisn
h died,- they mourned for him for a great
many years.

was blttor cold. Men wero hurrying

feeble cry of "Oh. sir, please buy a pa
per," "Oh, God, will nobody buy a paper
from me?" cried tho llttlo newsboy. His
clothes wero hanging In rags on his back
and his foe was black and blue from
the cold.
II walked to the next street Every
thing was quiet. It was past S o'clock
and the iopla wero all home. "I will end
It all," cried the newsboy, "by laying In
this snow and frecrlngto death. There
Is nothing but starvation here." Then
he cried out. "Oh, God In heaven, be mer
ciful. I cannot die and leave my mother
here to fight the battle alone."
IDs prayer must have been answered,
for right In iront or him stood a finely
dressed man. "My boy," he said, 'T havo
heard your prayer. Take me to your
mother."

now returned a millionaire. The boy

mother will never forget how the prayer
was answered.

Health and Beauty Answers
BY MRS.
Cora S.: As your hair Is short and-thin
and you have so much trouble to make
it stay up and look neat, try shampooing
it with a teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup of hot water. This sham
poo is the one generally used by the best
hairdressers to tnako k the hair look
thicker and lustrous. It produces an
abundant lather, Jries quickly and not
only cleans tho hair and sc.ilu well, but
stops all irritation ana gives the scalp
a reeling of pleasing freshness. Canthrox
makes a delightful shampoo and will
make your hair soft and fluffy. You will
have little trouble then to make your hair
look nice. Never uso soud for. shampoo
ing, as It makes tho hair brittle, harsh
ana taKes away tno glossy look, (a) To
get rid of dandruff and stop falling hair,
tee reply to "Gertrude J."
Mcta D.: A dclatono paste will removo
the fuzz from your lln without dancer or
Inconvenience. Just mix enough powdered
dekitono and water to cover tho hairy
surface, apply and after two or threo
minutes rub olf. then wash the skin
carefully. Ono application of dclatono
usually suriices excepting where tno
growth is quite tnick or Ktubhorn.
Grace: Lone curlv lashes and thick.
glossy eyebrows add greatly to personal
beauty. Get a small orlKlnal Dackairo of
pyroxln fiom your druggist and with
forefinger and thumb apply a llttlo at
lash-roots; also, rub Rome on eyebrows
with finger-end. Do this a fow times and
you Will havo beautltul eyelashes and,
brows. Uso care and don't Ket any
pyroxln where no hair Is wanted.
MADAM X.: Nature Intended that all
women .should have voluptuous figures;
aud even though your bust Is underde
veloped, with tho famous vaucalro treat
ment you can soon have a figuro that is
well rounded and nleuslntr to look unnn.
You can prepare tho vaucalro treatment
rigiii in your own homo hy dissolving H4
cupfuls sugar In 1 Dint water. To this
add 1 ounco gallol and take of It 2 tea-
spoonrum oerore meals. Keep up treat
ment until figure is properly developed.
Mrs. I: What a shame to have wasted
so much money in vainly trying to get
rid of your fat. I havo a formula that
some of my close friends have tried with
marvelous success. Here it is: Dissolve
four ounces of pamotis In V& pints hot
water; when cold strain and take a
tablcSDOOIlfUl Of thn llnuld hnfnr. nnrK
meal. This remedy will not injure your
health or force you to starve yourself In
order to get back your comely figure. It
cuts down fat rapidly, Is not expensive
and will surely help you.
