Busy Bees - -:- Their Own Page
LITTLE boys and girls tr apt to be much the same, whether their
parents are rich and dwell In beautiful places or whether the
live In humblier circumstances. Especially when the are rery
young is there little difference. Little John Jacob Astor VI, son
of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor, one of the Tlctlms of the
Titanic disaster, Is shown tn this picture as he Is toddling about the paths
of Central park on one of his daily outings.
- Just like all other mothers, young Mrs. Astor. believes that fresh air is
the best preventive against ull ills, and arranges it so that her little son
spends the greater part of his time out of doors, regardless of the condi
tion of the weather. By his father's will, a trust fund of $3,000,000 waa
created for little John Jacob VI, but even that would not be sufficient to
make him happy unless he is well and healthy, like all our little Busy Bees.
The editor has received an article on "The Eskimos" )roni Palmer, Neb.
No name appeared on the letter or envelope, but It will be held until the
Busy Bee who wrote it corrects the mistake. '
This week, first prize was awarded to Ines Roberts of the Blue Side;
second price, to Eunice Nelson of the Red Side, and honorable mention to
Howard Mattox of the Bine Side.

Turkey and Pumpkin.
By Inn Roberts. Aged 12. 4001 Charles
Street, Omaha. Blue Bide.
Mr. Farmer was laying to his wife, "I
muwt fatten up those turkeys so we wtll
have a nice, fat one for Thanksgiving."
Tho chickens and turkeys overheard
what the farmer said, so the chickens
Hid they would keep out of the way of
Mr, Farmer ao one of them would not
boTriade into a chicken pie.
But the turkeys were proud and they
wanted to be useful, ao one turkey, who
was very proud, ate na much as he could
got hold of ao he would be the one to
get, skilled and eaten on Thanksgiving.
He told Miss Pumpkin about it, and ahe
alJ, "Maybe I will be made Into a
imiqpkin pie. I heard that one of us will
be a' pumpkin pie and I do hope It is me
because I do sowant to be useful."
"Well, goodbye. Miss Pumpkin: I am
going to see Mr. Sharpedgo (meaning the
axe) and ask him If he knows who is
going to be the chosen one. (low I hope
It Is me." v ' t. t
So Mr.-Turkey went to where Mr.
Sharpedge'' lived, and Mr. Turkey told
him all about It And, sure enough, on
Thanksgiving Mr. Bharpedge cut off Mr.
Turkey's head and he waa roasted In the
oven.
Miss Pumpkin., was made Into a pump
Kin pie. ' i ;'
Mr. and Mrs. Farmer sent an invitation
over to the, Browns.-who, were very poor
and would only have one slice of . bread
apiece. The Browns : necepted th lnvW
tntion. They were very busy getting
ready Thanksgiving day. ' They aoon came.
The dinner was ready and they sat down
at the tabto. First they, gave thanks to
God. And you never saw such happy faces
as those Browns had.' -
They all enjoyed Mr. Turkey and Mies
Pumpkin pie. 'i
After dinner the enildreri eat "down and
told Thanksgiving stories and tlie grown
folks talked. The happiest people there
were Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, who had
made some one else happy. . ." S

One day we started for - Millard, going
by way of Center street. When we were

we would go to Millard then.. When we
were within about a mile, the tire camp
off. . We put on a new tire and went on
for about two blocks when the second
tire blow up.- We had no other tire, so
wo had to go on the rim till we got to
Millard. - At the garage in Millard, we
bought two new onee and so got borne
quits safely. . , . ,

of feasting, but aa a day of prayer. They
were ever, thankful. .

OF THE CHURCHES
December
7th to 19th
TPIIE handiwork of hundreds of Omaha's prominent church
A workers will be displayed. These will be offered for sato
over the counters, temporarily constructed around tho fountain
and in the court of The Deo building, during the week days;
from morning until night. The beautiful linen pieces, useful ,
and ornamental embroidery work, serviceable wearing apparel,
art goods and bric-arbrac, as well as delicious pies, cakes,
doughnuts, candies and other eatables, have not traly been made
by these faithful women but they will seo that every stitch and
piece is sold by themselves.
These church fairs .are conducted solely for the purpose of
; raising money to defray tho expenses of the different churches;
no one individual derives any recompense for their labor, except
-, the satisfaction that what they do is freely given to further pro-
mote the glorious and noble work of the most Holy institution,
the' Church. The use of tho building for the fairs is donated by
the management of tho The Dee and all publicity through the
the columns of this paper is given free. The churches arrange
the decorations so as to make tho bazaar as attractive and com
fortable as possible for the public to lend their patronage.
You are all invited to come. More beautiful and useful
Christmas gifts cannot be bought elsewhere and the prices
asked are most reasonable. .
