from memory after you have hoard or read It before. Tho
J y editor will publish stories that have been told before, pro
vided that you toll them over In your own words, and that
they aro Interesting enough. You must bo careful, however, not to cllns
to closely to the text of tho story as you have read It or It has been told to
you, else the story will not be printed, but will bo thrown Into tho waste
paper basket. The encouragement of original stories is tho aim of this page,
bomo or the Busy Bees aro becoming rather lax in their spelling. You
must remember that tho children's

this week were "chifonear" for "chiffonier," "blue" for "blow' and 'wlch"
for "which."
You must learn to consult the dictionary whenever you are In doubt
aa to the spelling or moaning of any word. And after having looked up a
word, be sure that you do not forget It and have to look It up again. Loarn
to retain the spelling of unusual words in your memory.

Life of a Wren.
Dorothy Stewart, Age 9 Years, Tecumsch,

This Is the first time I have written to
the page. I will try and do better next
time I write. Last summer my father
made a wren house. First h nailed the
lid on. Then he made a hole which was
to represent a door. Then he nailed a
board to the bottom of the box and let
a little piece of the board stick nut in
front. When It began to get warm &nd
the birds from the south began to come
back, a wren came and saw the box and
stopped to examine It. When she saw
the box was safe she brought sticks and
began to build a nest. When the nest
was done she laid some eggs. In three
weeks there were four babies. One day
when she went to get some food for her
babies she was hit with a rock. She could
hardly hop but she tried. In pain. Pretty
toon she got to the post then she tried
to fly hut could not

The Tame Cow.
By Viola Pospeshll, Venus, Neb., Oak
View Ranch. Blue Side.
"Aw, I bet you're afraid to," exclaimed
a boy of 14 years. "No, I'm not," de
clared the girl.
These two children had moved to the
country. Where their father had bought
a section of land. Their father bought
a cow and It now stood in the yard gaz
ing at the children with wide-open eye.
"Fraldy-cat, fraldy-cat" Bald the boy.
"Well, I'll ride her now if you think
I'm afraid." And suiting the action to
her words, the girl scrambled over the
gate and stood In the yard with the cow.
"Whoa, Bossy, whoa," she said, as she
advanced toward the cow and held out
her hand. It seemed to the girl that
the cow waa glaring at her and that
she was ready to run. She laid her hand
on the cow's nose, but to her surprise
found that the cow only shifted at her
hand.
"Why, she Isn't very wild," she ex
claimed In a surprised tone.
After petting the cow awhile, she
stepped back to the cow's aide. The cow
Jumped aside and shook her head. .
"Oh, I'm afraid," the girl said, as she
turned and looked at her brother. "Aw,
Sis, you're afraid," he began, but
stopped for "Sis had turned resolutely
toward the cow.
"Whoa, Bossy." The girl Jumped and
found herself on the cow and holding on
for dear life.
The cow stood still. "Sis" looked at
her brother and he looked at her and
then they both burst out laughing.
"Why," exclaimed Sis, "It'a a tamo
cow."

John's Reward.
By Mary Ooldensteln, Aged 9 Years,
' Olenville, Neb. Red Side.
"John," said Mrs. Brown, "will you
go to the store for me?"
"Oh, mamma! I'm having such a nice
time with Rover. I don't want to go."
As he glanced up at his mother and saw
her pale cheeks, he felt very bad. He
knew that she had to work very hard to
keep them well and strong.
"I'll go, mamma," he said.
"I want you to buy some thread," said
his mother, "and some coaloll,"
John took his wagon and, putting the
coaloll can in It, he started off.
As he went on, an old woman who
was sitting on the porch, called out to

Discontented.
By Mildred Stark, Aged 10 yearB,
Kearney, Neb.
A little pine tree grew in the woods. It
had no leaves. It had needles. All the
other trees have pretty leaves. Why can
I not bo pretty, too? But I wish to have
better leaves. I want gold leaves," said
the pine tree. At night tho tree wont to
sleep. Then a fairy came by. "This little
tree does not llko needles," sho said. "I
will glvo It some pretty loavos." When
tho tree awoko It had leaves of gold.
It said, "I am so pretty! No other tree
In tho woods has leaves of gold."
One day a man come into the woods
with a bag on his back. He saw the cold
leaves on the little tree. He took them
all and put them Into his bag, then car
ried them away. Tho poor little tree
catted out, "Oh, do not tako my pretty
leaves." But the man did not listen to
her calls. Thehn the tree said, "I do not
want gold leaves, for the man will bo
sure to take them nil. I will have glass
leaves." Tho Uttlo tree went to sleep. In
the night the fairy came by and put gloss
leaves on It. The Uttlo tree awoke and
saw Its glass leaves. How they sparkled
In the sunshine! No other tree looked so
bright. By and by a strong wind came
and swept Its glass leaves away. It
blew and blew. Again tho Uttlo tree wns
without leaves. It was very sad, and It
said, "I must not have gold or glass.
I want to be llko the other trees In the
wood." And the little tree went to sleep.
When It awoko It was like the other trees
In the wood. It had green leaves. Soon
a goat came by. He say the green
leaves on tho tree. The goat was hun
gry and ate all the leaves. "I do not
want any leaves. The man and the goats
and the wind will not let mo keep them.
I like my own needles best." Then It
went to sleep and a fairy came by and
gave It what It wanted. When the tree
awoke It had Its needles again. Then
the little pine tree was happy.
The Great Stone Face.
By Fay Baldwin, Aged 11 Years, Her
man, mcd. ilea tsiao.
The Great Stone Face" was written
by Nathaniel Hawthorne. We find the
Great Stone Face in the White hills of
New Hampshire. It was made by na
ture. It had a forehead 100 fee high, a
nose like a bridge and Hps so largo that
if he could have spoken his voice would
have sounded like thunder.
Some of the people In the valleys of
these mountains lived In log houseB, some
In forests and some in comfortable farm
houses.
Ernest and his mother sat in the door
way talking about the Great Stone Face.
Ernest's mother told him that there
would bo someone that looked like the
Groat Stone Face. This story has been
told from family to family. It had been
told to the Indians by the mountain
streams and among tho tree tops that
there would be someone that looked like
the Great Stone Face.
Ernest was born In a log hut. He
would always mind his mother and helped
her with many things even more by his
loving heart He grew up to be a Quiet
boy and sun-browned by the labor in
tho fields.
About this time there was a story go
ing around the country that there really
was, a man that looked like the Great
Stone Face. His name was Mr. Gather
gold. The reason why Mr. Gathergold
got this name was because he was so
rich.
I hope my letter will be in print. It Is
to be continued.

Wlllard Stewart, Age 10 Years, Tecumseh,
NeD. itea tilde,

One day I was playing cowboy. We boys

aide was going to surround our camp. We
captured them, then drew our pistols on
them. At night we covered the fire with
ashes, then went home. This Is the first
time I have written to the page. I hope
to win the prize.

will come soon: we have been waiting
here for about an hour and haven't seen
anything of them yet."
Just then they heard tho sound of musto
and soon a little band of soldiers, fol
lowed by a largo crowd of people, were
seen approaching slowly. As they came
nearer Max saw an old man limping
painfully along bearing a large American
flag, which had "been torn by bullets of
the enemy In the battle In which many
had fallen. Even his father who had
never returned might have given his life
at that time nlBO.
The man was now Just opposite, and as
Max saw the sad' look on his face ho
sprang down from his place on the fence,
took the flag from his hands and
marched proudly along by his side.
Tho old man leaned heavily oj Max's
arm, but when they reached the ceme
tery he straightened up and wanted to
take the flag from the boy's hands, and
iMax seeing that the old man wished to
help carry It, lot him take hold of it,

As they reached the unknown, grave,
Max took from his pocket a tiny flag.

The Panama Canal,
By Cora E. Bishop, Ago 14 Years, Per
elvol, la., Box 42. Blue Side.
The Panama canal is being dug through
tho southern part of Central America.
Tho use of it Is to permit ships to pass
to and from tho Pacific Ocean to the At
lantic, although It will be useful In many
other ways.
They have many miles to go before It Is
completed. They say ships will be per
mitted to go clea? through' by the year.
1915. They are planning a Panama expo.
sitlon when It Is completed,
I think It will be very nice, and lots of
people will be there. I have been reading
In the papers about the first warship
which entered the canal at Gatun Locks,
by the electric locomotives. It was a
warship called Severn, and ran on cogs
on the walls of the locks.
