jVBRY boy and girl In the United States has hoard tho story!
of the life of George Washington. You will all romember
the story of the cherry tree, and how ho did not Ho to hit
father. It has been written for this page today by ono of
the Busy Hoes. Honor meant moro to George Washington
than anything olee. and I hopo It will mean the same to all
' Busy Dees. When you have grown to be men and women
you will find that there la no feeling quite so comforting as to know
that you have told the truth. If you have done wrong you will feel
hotter to acknowledge It than to toll a falsehood that will shield you from
n punishment that you Justly deserve. This was the practlco of this groat
man from tho tlmo he was a small boy, and tho thing which mado all tho
pooplo of his country lovo and tniBt htm. The same might bo said for
Abraham Lincoln, whoso birthday anniversary was last Wednesday. I
am glad to know that so many of the Busy Bees have read tho stories of
the HveB of these nten.

A Sweet Dream.
By Mildred White, Aged 12 Years, 60O4
. Chicago St., Omaha. Blue Side.
Winifred and Edith Sherman had been
honored with an Invitation to Eugenia
Forbes' 'coasting party.
And the night the invitation had been
reoelVed Winifred, the younger, went to
bed in a restless frame of mind, thinking
What a lovely time they would have. 8o
he fell Into a light slumber and dreamed.
Just as she closed her eyes a fairy
came gllddlng In on a moonbeam.
,,Come on, get up and go out for a
coast."
Obeying Winifred got up and put on
her clothes.
"You may call me Hllver Moon," said
the fairy personage, "and Just glide out
on the Bllverlest moonbeam you see,"
"Oh, I can't, because' 1 haven't any
wings as you have."
"Is that all that Is troubling you? Well.
Just slip on these."
While the fair' had been speaking it
dived Into Its pocket and produced a
pair of wings that would Just fit Wini
fred. "Come on," said Silver Moon, "no time
to talk."
So out they glided Just a If they had
been birds. On arriving outside Wini
fred found the sleigh was much too small
for her. As she was Just going to ex
plain the defect to Silver Moon the fairy
aid. "Now Just look Into this mirror
and you will fit the sleigh."
Winifred glanced Into the mirror and
was surprised to find herself as small as
Silver Moon.
They Jumped Into the sleigh and Sliver
Moon cried, "All ready," and the sleigh
mounted higher until they reached a
great white hill. "This Is the Milky
Way," said Silver Moon. Then tho sleigh
commenced sliding on and on. It went,
never stopping, past stars, through clouds
It went, past the moon, faster and faster
they went. When all of a sudden the
sleigh stopped with a Jerk that almost
knocked them over. A large palace stood
before them. It was made of different
colored glass and fairies could be seen
dancing.
"There Is the home of the queen," said
Silver Moon, "come."
Winifred followed Sliver Moon Into a
large hall, brightly lighted
"Hero Is a visitor, your majesty," said
Sliver Moon, addressing Its words to a
beautiful fairy seated on a glass throne.
The queen dismissed court and all the
fairies left immediately. Winifred was
about to state her name when tho lovely
Utile queen said "Winifred, aren't you
hungry Irom your long Journey?" With
out waiting for a reply the fairy queen
pushed a button and a little maid set a
delicious feast before them. When they
were thrcnigh eating the queen announced
that she would have Dew Drops show
Winifred her room.
Winifred followed a neat little maid
up a 'glass stairway and Into a room
which Dew Drora said was to be hers
Then she departed. The bed was made
of plate glass and old rose satin curtains
around It. Just as Winifred was about
to go to sleep Dew Drops came In and
drew tho curtain. Then Winifred heard
a voice palling her and she awoke to
Und her mother bending over her.

He was an honest and obedient bo.
George's mother had a colt that was
very beautiful, but no one could break
him In. One day George said to his
brother. "If you will saddle and bridle
htm I will ride him."
The boys quickly saddled and bridled
him.. Then George Jumped on and stuck
tight to the reins and saddle. The colt
kicked vigorously ard tried hard to
throw George off. but he tried In vain.
Then the colt tried harder than ever to
throw him off, but this was his last, he
bursted his blood vessel and fell dead
to the ground. ,
The boys, all frightened, went Into the
house. They did not think that Georgo
would tell his mother of what he had
done. But he told her right away.
His mother was very sorry that he
bad killed her favorite colt, but she said
that she would rather have all her horses
killed than have George tell a lie.

One day as Ruth and Esther were
sitting on a bench. Sam passed by. As
you will hear. Ruth was a selflBh and
Ignornnt child. Sam. who was a very
nice and polite llttlo boy. stopped und
talked to the girls. Ruth wanted Sam
to sit next to her. So sho pushed Esther
off the benoh, when Ksther began to cry.
A young man who heard nnd saw the
commotion, stepped toward the children
and asked them what wns the matter, I
but, of course, he knew. Turning to
Esther, ho asked" Why were the child
ren pushing you off tho bench?" Ksther
did not answer him, so he nsked Ruth.
Ruth said, "Because she wanted to hit
me."
Then ho turned to Sam and said, "Do
you know what tho matter Is?" Sam
said Ruth pushed Esther off the bench
because she wanted to sit near me." The
man knew that Sam told tho truth, nnd
he told Sam nnd Esther to run homo nnd
ask their mother If they could go with
him for a ride. Their mother's nnswer
was yes. 1 think that will bo the very
end of this story.

She went on the side and It went In
