TTIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 1, 1D14.
9-B
The Busy Bees
Their Own Page
MANY of the Busy Bess call on the editor on their vay downtown
or to the library . They are prodigious bookworms, and I am
very happy to say that they read the very best classics. Tenny
son's King Arthur stories, the "Arabian Nights1' tales and
fairy tales vie in popularity with most of the little readers.
Busy Bees should exercise a (treat deal of care In the choice of books
and read only the best that the library arfords. With the shelves upon
shelves of books on varied subjects from which to choose, you should show
your appreciation by reading only the best those which will do you the
most good. How happy Abraham Lincoln would have been to enjoy one
corner of the wonderful libraries which are placed at the disposal of chil
dren today, instead of having to walk miles and treasure carefully the
volume that some kind friend had permitted him to borrow.
Be sure to glean some good out of every book you have read, else do
not recommend it to anyone else or waste time in reading another one like
It. Interesting letters for this page may be written, describing the kind of
books you like to read and what are your favorites.
This week first prize was awarded to Rosella Klein of the Blue Side,
second prise to Florence Seward of the Blue Side and honorable mention
to Genevieve Rounds of the Red Side.
Little Stories by Little Folk
(First Prise.)
The Christmas Ship.
By Rosella Klein, Aired 10 Years. 814
Hickory Street, Omaha. Blue Side.
All the Busy Bees are. very much in
terested in the Christmas Ship, . which ia
soon to salt for our cousins in Europe
Already one carload has been sent on
Its way from Omaha, and another will
be ready in a few days.
It will be hard this Christmas for old
St. Nicholas to find his way around to
the different homes there, for this year
he is so busy doing other things. So all
the Busy Bees have decided to help out
our dear old Santa Claus and send
as many things as possible. And I be
lieve when old Banta fills our stockings
this year he will put in a larger sugar
plum than ever, when he remembers we
have done what we could to help cheer
our JIttle cousins so far away,
t (Second Prise.)
A Willing Sacrifice.
By Florence Seward, Aged '8 Tears.
2520 North Nineteenth Street,
Omaha. Blue Side.
Once upon a time an old man came to
. our door. He was poorly dressed.
He asked for some work. He said he
would sweep the sidewalk for a nickel.
My grandmother said that he could
sweep the sidewalk. Then she got a
broom. When she handed him the broom
he began to sweep.
My grandmother did not think when
she hired him that she did not have any
change. I was Just ready to go to the
store for some candy with my nickel. I
said: "I would rather give blm the nickel
than to get some candy."
When he got through I handed him the
nickel, and he said," Thank you," cheer
fully, and went away down the street,
asking for work. I hope he earned lots
and lots of money, don't you?
I would like to be a Busy Bee and Join
the Blue side. ,
(Honorable Mention.)
,Vuita On Para. ,
By Genevieve Rounds, Aged 11 Tears.
Emerson, la. Red Side.
This is the first time I have written to

every Sunday and enjoy them very much.
Friday afternoon I went out to the
country with one of my girl friends,
Marjorte Snodgrass. It was getting quite
late, so we thought we would go after
the cows. We went to the bam and got
two horses and then started after the
cows. We got them In about :30 o'clock.
I stayed all night and in the morning
we went out to watch them husk corn.
We both got on the same horse and

started out. t live in town and do not
know very much about riding. We went
a little wajsj and I fell off, and then I
had a time getting on. We did not have
any saddle, so it was not very easy to
get on. We did not know where they
were husking the corn, so we had a time
to find them. After a while we found
them and we stayed there about an hour
and started back. We got bock about
11 o'clock, and in the afternoon we we
started to walk to town- about ten min
utes to 1 "o'clock, and got to town twenty
five minutes after 1 o'clock. It was two
and . a half miles to town. I surely had
a fine time while I was out there.
Hallowe'en Games.
By Motile Corenman, 80S- South Seventh
Street, Omaha. Red 9! do.
I thought I would write and tell the
Busy Bees some of the games which my
brothers, sisters and I played on Hal
lowe'en night last year.
One of the most interesting games was
to take a tub of water and put some ap
ples in In. We all had our hands tied up
behind us,, and then we tried to catch an
apple with out' mouths. OK, what fun
it wast Another apple game was to tie
an apple up on something' and then try.
to take a bite off It I 'remember that
X only, got two bls of the., apple last
year. t - V..
But one of our favorite games was to
gather In a dark room, only lit up by one
candle, and to tell ghost stories. Oh,
how it made us shiver as e came to the
ghost part of the story. But how we
enjoyed It! Hallowe'en is surely the best
time of the year to play games.
Little Pet Rabbit.
By Walter Hartuntrage, Aged 12 Tears.
La Platte, Neb.. Red Side.
One afternoon my brother and I went
fishing at the lake. We never caught any
thing. We stayed till about S o'clock'
and then we started home. We had
walked about a half a mile when we
saw a little rabbit Jumping about. I
told my brother to stay there while I
headed him off, and we caught him and
tied a string sround its neck and led him
home, which was about a mile further.
When we got home we made a pen for
him. When we got the pen made we
put him In the pen. When we put him
in he Jumped about, so happily! He
thought that he was free once more.
We gave him a panful of water and
large leaf of lettuce. We fed him every
day, and when we had had him about
two years he died.
This is my first leier to The Bee and
I wish to sec it in print. I wish to Join
the Red Side.'
A Pleasant Walk.
By Mary Orevson. Aged it Years, West
folnt, D. uiue Biae.
Dorothy Williams was a little blue-eyed
girl. She was 8 years old. But Dorothy
never had an appetite, and she soon
grew peJe and thin. Her father.
wealthy man in the city, also saw that
something was .wrong with his little girl.
So one day when she was In her own
room she heard a knock at the door She
went to the door and said,' "Oh papa,
I am so glid It is you. I was Just thinking-
how happy It would be to take a
walk in the country every morning be
fore breakfast. . 1 do think it would give
me an appetite so I could eat more, and
besides, . papa, I would be happier, as I
would get nice fresh air. In the city it
Is so close that I am sure to get sick."
"Yes, Dorothy, I think you a very rea
sonable child, and every morning you
and I shall take a walk In the Cuuntry.
Tomorrow- at-7 t'eWck come to my room
and we will take a walk." t
So the next morning at T o'clock two
figures were seen going down the avenue.
They soon reached the beautiful wood,
where were seen brown squirrels, birds
and many rabbits. They sat down on a
bench to rest themselves, when a little
brown squirrel came near Dorothy and
seemed to say, "Have you any nuts for
us, little one?" . Then Dorothy said, "Oh.
papa, see this pretty squirrel. I do wish
I could take him home."
"No, Dorothy, you cannot do that, but
every morning we will come here and
he shall be your very best friend, but
now we will go farthi-r on."
They crossed a little, trook where they
aw little fishes, and Dorothy was very
glad when her father sa'd she might play
here awhile. 8o Dorothy played there
for about fifteen minutes, when her
ather said:
"We must go home now, as it Is break
fast time."
When they reached home Dorothy
seated herself at the table and stnrted to
est. She ate so much for breakfast that
her father was surprised. He said:
"Mother, 1 do think this walk certainly
made lorothy have sn appetite, as other
mornings something was left at her plate,
but this morning she has eaten much
more, and I will take her for s wslk
every morning."
Dorothy soon grew very strong and
she was) very happy when she could see
her friend the squirrel. One morning she
said:
"raps, I think that the first day I took
a walk was the best day of all the year."
Her papa said: "Yes, darling, 1 think
It was."

Lesson for Marygold.
Bv Vera Hammond, Aged 8 Tears, I.a
riatte, Neb. Hed Side.
This la my first letter to the Busy
Uses. Here Is a little story for little,
folks:
Onco upon a time there lived a Issy
little girl, whose name was Mangold.
She did nothing but play all the time.
One day a fairy went to see her. The
fairy took her off to live by hernelf for
about sis months.
The little girl mould not do anything.
So one day everyth'ng Jumped all over.
The dishes hit her on the head and made
her cry. So she washed and wiped the
dishes, tnadn the beds, swept Uie floors,
rleamid the windows, cleaned up the yard
and made everything look nest and tIJy.
It cured her of that habit.
i
My Pet Cat.
By Agnes MaJallne Nielsen, Aged 11
Years, General IVIIvery, Fre
mont, Neb. Red Hide.
Once upon a time I had a gray rat. One
day t taught It how to dance with me.
She could not dance so very well. It
took nio over a week before she could
danre good. One day when I csme from
school she came running to me ami stood
on her hind legs, as If to say, "1 want to
dance with you." I took hold of lier
front legs end danced with her. Then
she took hold of my stocking nnd led
me to tl box where she slept, and what
do you think T I found two little kittens,
one gray and one black. I put a piece
of cloth over them to keep them warm.
One day my uncle took the cat and th
Krny kitun to his farm. We kept the
Mark kitten, but I did not like him; h!
would scratch. One day my mother was
cutting mcitt and he sprang In at the
window. He wnnted the meat, but he did
not get It. I hope Mr. Waste Haeket la
out of town for a whl.e. I wish to Join
the Hed side.
