EARL BABBITT of Plattsmouth has written to the Busy Bee editor
for information with regard to the kingdom. A king and Queen
are chosen to head the Busy Bee kingdom by votes of their sub
jects. Their duties are to contribute letters and stories to the page
as often as possible and to encourage their friends to do likewise.
They reign for a period of four months, new rulers being announced tha
first Sunday In January, May and September.
There is no meaning to the Bed or Blue side, except that children gen
erally favor these colors. You have the privilege of Joining whichever
side you choose. Since the boys generally choose the Red side and the
girls the Blue side, the king is selected from the Red side and the queen
from the Blue side. Members of each side have the privilege of voting for
candidates on the other side.
Busy Bees may write to this page up until their fifteenth birthday.
Out-of-town children are Invited to snd in their letters and stories as
freely as Omaha children. The editor will print pictures of all Busy Bees
that are sent In. This Is to aid you in knowing each other better. Having
. read a Busy Bee's contribution and seen his or her picture, you can get to
feel pretty well acquainted. Is It not so?

with It. Tut It down and come along."
l Hut the kind little frill couldn't leave tho

Ihome. There wore tears In her eyes as
'She started back for she had planned for
'this outing for weeks, and it was a
Brent disappointment to her not to go,
and the others called her silly for giving

Mr. Clark bound up the injured leg of

illkc her. It was the loveliest day In all
June. I was waiting patiently for my
inutit, who had Just gone over to a neu.1i
bor's nearby, for ahe had not expected
ime to arrive until the next day. I waa
lecturing her and I thought she would
Ibe like a major general, kind, but want
ing to keep children in and teach ttiem
Bow to sew and not let them run or play.
Soon I heard the carriage come down the
pike. My first Impulse was to run to the
grape arbor and hide and then come In
mnd surprise her. But she had already
een me. She came over and said, "My
k'ear, I am very glad you came, altnoogh
1 waa not expecting you today."
My aunt was not at all like a major
igeneral, but kind, gentle and sweet in
wvery way. I like the flowers and love
jlhem very much dearly as my aunt did.
ery morning we would go out and
tei.d to the flowers. She promised me
thai I could come next year and make
her another visit and I was very lad.

will tell you of my Journey north.
One warm day I happened to think
I hat It was time to fly north. There were
many birds going so I soon got a com
panion. We flew a mile or so without
liavlng any trouble. But all at once my
li'cnd said. ''Oh! lookout!" Id'd not see
anything, so I asked her what wm the
Intttcr. But before ahe could answer I
te.lt a sudden shock and I I waa lying
on the ground unconscious. I lay there
a long time. By and by some girls came
and one said, "Oh! I bet John and Joe
Hid this. They had out their guns. I -el
us take it home." So they took me home
und bandaged up my wing. By this time
9 felt better and in a short time I was
flying home. I soon reached my old
home, the north, and did not forget my
two friends.

Saved by Pumpkins.
By Esther Klpple, Aged 12 Years, Colum
bus, Neb. Blue Side.
There was a family that lived in Ohio
when It was very thinly settled, named
Place. Mr. Place was very kind to the
Indians. Once Mr. and Mrs. Place and
the younger children went on a visit and
left the two twin girls 'to keep house.
The two had been busy one afternoon
cutting hideous faces out of the pump
kins they had gathered. One ot the
girls went to get the cows, when she
came upon three Indians pointing to
their house and making all kinds of mo
tions. She ran home without allowing
herself to be seen and told her sister.
The frightened girls did not know what
to do. Then one of the girls thought that
ptrhaps if they would show the hideous
faces of the Jack o'lanterns it might
I frighten the Indians away. So they
crawled Into a pit covered with brush
and waited till evening. At last the In
diana came and were looking for them
In the garden. The girls at once lit the
candles in the Jack o'lanterns. The In
diana waited for only one glance and
fled into the woods, thinking thsy had
seen devils.
Soon after the girls' parents returned,
end they told them of their adventure
with the Indians. The Indiana never ap
proached the Place family house again.

Major Long's Expedition
In 1S18 the United Stales government
sent an expetUtlon under Major Stephen
IL Long to explore the Platte liver and
the mountain region beyond. This ex
pedition Is famous beoause it brought
the first steamboat to tho Nehraaka
shores and placed the great American
Duaort on the ninp. The steamboat was
named the Western Engineer, and left
Pittsburgh. Pa., May S. 1819. for the long
Journey down the Ohio, then up the
MlsHlmrippI to St Louts, and thence up
the Mlmourl river to tlie eld Council
Bluff of Lewis and Clark. The Western
Engineer was well calculated to strike
terror Into the hearts of the western In
dians who had nvor seen a steamboat
Ths bow of the boat rose In the form
of a huge, black, scaly aerpent with
open mouth, from which poured amoks
and steam when the boat was under
way. The Indians who saw tha boat
said, "White man. bad man, keep Oreat
Spirit chained, build fire under him to
make him paddle the boat"
This serpent steamboat arrived at Fort
Lisa, ten miles above tha preeent site
of Oinalie, on September IT. The party
under Major Loner at once began to pre.
pare cabins for winter quarters. Ths
spot they choae, with plenty of wood
and stone near at hand for building; and
for fuel, may still be found between the
hlKh bluff and the MlHaourl river.

things:
"Here I am, my Father; all these

yet they are your children. All my na

not believe It. For although 1 am a poor
simple Indian, J know that this land will
not suit you farmers. If I even thought
your hoar Is bad enough to take this
land, I would not fear It. aa I know
there is not wood enough on it for the

White Cow, another Omaha chief, said:
"Look st me, my Father, look at my
hands. I am a wild man born on the

any blond of your people upon me. Some
