11-B The Busy Bees Their Own Page TIIE OMAHA' SUNDAY BETC: MAKCTT 14. 1013. r THE BUST BEE3 are to enjoy as part of their owa page, an Inter esting feature a weekly Installment of the History and Stories of Nebraska, compiled by Addison E. Sheldon of the University Of Nebraska. The study of history ought to be of vital Interest to all Busy Bees. History doea not necessarily mean the study of dry, uninteresting facts of persons and places that concern no one of us. Rather, It Is in tended that the study of history should aid us In gaining a proper perspec tive of things as they are today. A knowledge of historical events aids us too In most any line of reading that we would wish to take up, since his torical allusions are so frequent. So a knowledge of the history of early Nebraska, Intimately Interwoven with the lives of Its pioneers, of whom some of you are descendants, will not be amiss, and since the history was made, perhaps, in the localities in which some of you live, I am sure this feature of the page will prove doubly interesting. This week, first prize was awarded to Helen Ballou of the Blue Sldec second prize to Helen Vals of the Red Side, and honorable mention to Ethel Lulu Pyle of the Red Side.

(Bv special permission of the author, The"Boe wUl publish chapter from the History of Nebraska, by A. B. Sheldon, from week to week.) The Story of Coronado Francisco Vasques Coronado and hi eoldler were the first white men to visit the Nebraska-Kansaa plains. Coronado waa a Spanish general who oame to Mexico to eek his fortune in th New W"orld. While ther wonderful atorle were brought by Fray Maraoa, a monk, who had traveled 1,000 miles north. Into, th country now called Ailsona. Ia that land t waa said were the Seven Citlc of Cibola, with houses buUt of stone many atories high, and great aBundano of gold and silver, turquolacs, cloth, sheep, caws and tarn partridges. All the Spaniards In- Mexico were eager to take possession of such a wonderful land Snd to sella Its riches. Coronado waa tha lucky man who waa made general of the army which waa sent out to conquer these famous seven cities. Three hundred Span iards on horseback and 1,000 Indiana with a long train of horses and cattle carry ing food and ammunition, started In February, 1540, on this fine errand. After a long and hard Journey across the desert the army arrived at the towns of the Zunl and Hopl Indians In ArUona, They found what one finds today a desert with houses mad of sun-baked mud, the home of poor and peaceful Indians who make pottery ' and weave a little cloth and raise corn and bean and fowl. The riches and splendor of th wonderful Seven Cities ef Cibola were a dream of the desert. Lik many other things in life, the farther off, the more wonderful the nearer, th more common. At this time Coronado heard for the first time the story of the land of Qul vira, far to the northeast An Indian slave whom the Spaniards called th Turk, because they said he looked like a Turk, told the story. HI home wa far out on the plain, but he had been cap tured by the Pucbla Indians and hald aa a slave. It Is supposed that he was a Pawnee - Indian, for the Pawnees wore their hair In a peculiar way so. that they resembled Turks. The story o'f Qulvlra told by the Indian slave was of a wonder ful land far across the plains. There waa a rlvsr six mliei wide, and In It wer finhes as big as horse and upon It floated many great canoes with twenty rowers on a alda Some of theae canoes carried soils and the lords sat under awning upon them, while the prow bore golden eagles. Th king of Quivlra, Tatarrax, slept under a great tree with golden bell pa the branches.' These bells swung to and from In the winds which always blew, and thalr music lulled the king to sleep. The common people in Quivlra had dlshe of plated war and the Jugs and bowla were of gold. The king of Quivlra worshiped a cross of gold and aa lnia.ee of a woman. tha goddess of heaven. Stories like these filled the heart of th Spaniard with longing to reach the land of Quivlra and to help tha people there to take car of its riches. On th Hd of April, l&l. Coronado and hi army marched away from 'the Rio Grands valley, guided by the Turk and by an other Indian from the same region, whom they called Iaopete. For thirty-five day they traveled out upon the high plains. These were so nearly level they could look as far aa the eye would pierce and see no hill. They found great herds of buffaloes, or "humpbacked cows," as they called them, on theee plains, and Indian who traveled around among these cows, killing them for their flesh and kins eating tha flesh raw and making th skins into tents and clothing. The said, "Don't bother me: I'm reading." Uls slater Ma said. "I will go and get It. then."

Abraham Lincoln wa born February 12. 1809. His family waa vary Poor. They Uved In a llttl log cabin. Tha UtU crbinhad only one room. There war crack between th logs, where the wind nd rain cam in.

The Spanish army saw for tho first time the 'American buffalo. None of these Indiana who hunted the cow had ever heard of the rich land of Quivlra with It gold and silver. Its great canoes and Its king. Here tlfe two guides began to tell different stories and confessed that the houses In Quivlra wer not quite so large as they had said and the people not so rich. Coronado and his army had eaten all the corn they had brought with them for food. The land of Quivlra waa still said to be far to tho north. A council waa hold and It was determined to send the army baok to th Rio Grande, whU Coronado with thirty horaemen and two guides pushed on to find Quivlra So the army went back and Coronado with his thirty men traveled on, eating nothing but buf falo meat After crossing a great river, supposed to be the Arkansas, they came to the country of Quivlra, forty-two days after parting from the army, or seventy seven days after leaving the Rio Grand. Coronado says In his letter to th king Of Spain: "Where I reached Quivlra It waa In the fortieth degree (of latitude)." The fortieth degree forms the tate line between Nebraska and Kansas, Thla would make Quivlra In tb Republican valley. Coronado found no gold, no sliver, no bell tinkling from th trees, no fishes big aa horses and no boat with golden prows. II found Indian living in grass huts, growing corn and beans and melons, eating raw buffalo meat and cutting It with stone knives. Ther wer twenty- five of these grass hut village and th only metal seen In them was a plec of copper worn by a chief around hi nca. Coronado went on for evnty-flv mile through the villages of Quivlra and came to the country called Harahey. The chief of Harahey met them with 200 men. all naked, with bows and arrow and "some sort of thing on tneir neaas. which probably means the way they put up their hair, and. suggests that they were Pawnee. Hero th Turk conrossea b had lied to the Spaniards about the riches of Quivlra In order to lead th army off on the trackless plains, where; It would perish. "W atranglod him that night so that ha never waked up," 1 th way one of the Spaniard tells tha story of what happened to th Turk. Coronado spent a month In Quivlra and Harahey. He wrote that the country was tb best ha had seen sine leaving Spain, for th land waa vary fat and black and well watered wtlb, rlvulote and springs and river. He found nut and plum and very good sweet grape snd mulberries to eat and plenty of graa and wUd flax and sumach. Tho Spaniard- held a council and reaolved to go back to Mexico, for they feared trying to winter in tha coun try so far from the ret of the army. So Coronado raised a great cros and at th foot of it ha mad soma letters with a chisel, which said that Francisco Vaaqucs de Coronado. general ef the army, ha arrived there. The Spaniards then marched away In the month of August It almost 400 years ago, and loft the land of Quivlra with Its fat black soil. It beautiful rtvulcta and prtng and rivers. It great prairie of grass and Its nuts, pluma. good aweet grapes and mulberrlea.

On day when I was out around th barnyard I found an egg. Thla being about the first egg I gathered. I picked It up and rsn Into the house and said, "Mamma! mamma!" "What dourT" she Probably Pauline will be a millionaire ome day and will hrvve a grand big home In New Tor and one In Paris and her private yacht. And then you'll read about her In the society columns like this:' "Mien Pauline Burkett, the million aire, entertained, at her magnificent home on Fifth avenue. New Tork City, yetrday afternoon. Mine Burkett was dreed In a lovely Imported gown trim med In gold lace anil diamonds and pearl. Tho affair was In honor of his majesty tha king of England and her majesty the quoen of England and his royal highness the prince of Wales, who.ar visiting In thla country.

Well, that would look pretty nloe In the paper, wouldn't HI Pauline wouldn't like that aort of thing probably. In the' first place she says she -would rather live where she doe live than any other place In the world. And she would rather have the friend she doea have than senators and millionaires, yes even than kings and queens and royaj highnesses. In other words, Pauline Is contented. And do you know why sh Is contented. Johnnie and Busier Bhe la contented because eh haa work to do and she Is doing it Bhe Isn't com plaining because someone els In the world haa things easier than she has. Instead of that she la happy becauaa sh has so many things to be thankful for. There's th secret of Pauline's content ment said. "I hav something; guea what It I." Sh did not know, so I told her and h wa surprised. For a few day I kept getting on egm out later i goi more. I only have seven hena, but I take very good car of them.
