Patting Chickens to Bed.
Uy Darlln Swanson. Aged I Tears, For-ty-eigniit

Omaha- Bed Side.
Once upon a time there waa a story
named "Putting the Chickens to Bed."
One would naturally suppose that
chickens would know when to to to bed,
but what Is a chicken to do if It la sua.
denly taken from the state of Wajshlng
ton to Alaska, .where the nights axe only
one or two hours Ions. It would be 10
or U o'clock, and If he arises at sunrise
U would be 2 or f o'clock. The result Is
he would be liable to die from lack of
sleep.
A friend of mine bad some chickens
in her Alaska home, and had some others
shipped from Seattle. The first evening
the Seattle chickens kept roaming around
by the light of the sun until about lv
o'clock and did this for two or three
evenings. Finally their owner had to
put them In their coop and shut the door
at a very much earlier hour, until they
had accustomed themselves to the long
days. Later they seemed to appreciate
the unusually ions;, bright evenings, but
retired with the other chickens at a rea
sonable hour.
The Cruel Sparrow.

Well, Busy Bees, I have read so many
stories about the birds, X wul UU you
one myself. - -
One day the people next door were
washing their car and tbe little boy and
I were looking at the car and fooling In
the water when we heard something fall
from the tree. Bo we went on the other
side of the car to see what it was. There
we saw a Uttle baby robin. We picked
It upend looked at It. Its eye bad been
picked. We looked up at the nest Just in
time to see a sparrow throw another
bird out. Oh., how sorry we were to see
this done, but could not help it When
the other bird fell. It was still alive so
we got a lot of nice coft cotton and a
woolen rag and were going to try and
nave Its Ufa. It lived one day and then
died. Then we burled them both. We
not pome nicely shaped rocks for tomb
stone and put flowers on their graves.

Fishing Trip.

Neb., Koute i. Red tilde.
One Sunday some friends went fishing
over on the Loup river. We started
about 10 o'clock and ate our dinner on
Prairie creek. We got nearly to the Loup
and ran out of gasoline. We tried to
climb a hill and had to get out and push.
We bought some gasoline at a farm house
ii nd finally got to the river, where we
fished until jiearly dark. Then we drove
to Fullerton and got a supply of gasoline
and things for supper. Then we went
out of town and cooked fish, made coffee
and roasted potatoes by a campflre and
returned, home about midnight. I en
.oyed the trip very much and hope to go
umping again soon.

Our Pet Babbits.
By Marjorle Stllee. Ased Tears. Clay
Center. Neb, Red Bide.
Where we lived last summer we kept
some rabbits and we had a little friend
who kept rabbits, too. But very seldom
my little sister Pauline and I missed see
ing her every day. so whenver she came
over we played with our rabbits and had
great fun. The ones that Insi, Pauline
and I wanted were tbe white and the
black ones. We enjoyed playing with
them very much, but pretty soon we
moved Into another house and did not
have so much fun, and we sold all of our
rabbits, and then Inea moved to Lincoln
and i have not seen or heard of her since.
Hjr story la getting pretty long now, so
I think I had better close. Good-bye.

Successful Gardener.
By Mary Orevson. Aged 18 vars, West
Point, Neb., Blue Bide.
I am going to write about . my flower
garden.
Last spring my mother gave me a
patch of land eight feet by ten feet
I dug It up with a spade, and then
took a rake to get all tbe lumps out. .
After I had raked It, I bought the fol
lowing seeds: Four-o' clocks, sweet peat,
daisies, pinks, carnations, moss roses and
h. Uy hocks.
They all grew very well and I have a
very nice flower garden. I also received
several slips of flowers from a girl who
writes to this happy page. Now I wish
all you Busy Bees would plan to make
a garden for next summer.
I always wanted a camera, so badly and
now I have one. The camera which I
have takes pictures 2x5. The first
pictures we took were very good, but of
the second batch only five were good. I
am going to send my picture in some
time.

Busy Bee Rhymes.
By Helen Vals, Aged 13 Years, Ciarkaon,
Neb. Red Side.
'Twas on a cold night,
A sailor left his boat In fright;
And quickly hastening- to the shore.
No sootier got there than It started to
- pour.
Ho was just in time,
To hear the clock strike nine:
He saw the chicks whom a woman fed.
And quickly ran under the neighboring
slied.
It gave him much pain
To think that he was In the rein;
But he was glad to think
Quicker than you could blink.
That ha had a place of safety to go.
But soon the rain was over.
And the rabbit Jumped in the clover:
And the sailor came out
From his hiding place.
He son reached home,
I.Ike the Venetian from Rome
His children crowded around" nlin
And started to sing
"We're glsd that papa's come home.
Hut still he Is not sowked
I.ike the mun from Koine,
Who reached the dome."

for he had seen the plan immediately.

Wains, quite forgetting our fears of Del

Just had been. "We've had trouble, but I
guess we oan get you back."
"Thank you." he said, forcing a amilu.
"I think anything would bo an improve

He climbed up and sat on the floor of

Iown the road past where we had
turned, before a pretty little shlnglo
house, the taxi cab chauffeur stopped.
One of the bullet had taken effect on
hlra and his shoulder waa bleeding. 11 ut
the worst as he scorned to think of it
waa that another shot had given hlin a
fiat tire.
He Jumped out and looked up the road
whence he had come. No one was follow
ing. Still, ha waa worried. He went
around to look at the tire. But he was
too weak now from loss of blood. It had
been nerve and reserve force that had
carried him through. Now that the
strain waa off, he felt tho reaction to
the full.
Just then the doctor and his driver,
whom the valet had aircady summoned to
J-el Mar's, came speeding down tne road.
The ooctor sav toe cnauneur fad in a
half faint, stopped his car and run to
him. The ohamfeur had kept up as long

A moment later tney picked him up
and carried him into the house. Thoie

Elaine bi-gan again to question me. But
1 had determined not to teil her what 1
was doing, for if my Imitation of Ken
nedy failed, 1 knew that, she would laugh
at me.
"Oh, very well," she salnd finally In
pique, "then. If you're sing to be so secret
about it, you ran sit up alone there!
She flounced otf to bed. Hure as I
could be at last that I waa alone, I
opened the package. There wsre the
tools that I had ordered, a coll of wire
and some dry cells. Then I went to the
table, unlocked the drawer and put the
plan In my pocket. I had determined
that whether the Idea worked or not
no one waa to set the plan except by
overcoming me.
Ahli iii-rh I ws no expert at wiring, I
started to make the connections tinder
the table with the drawer, not a very
difficult thing to do as long as It was
to be only temporary and for the night.
From the table I ran the wires along
the edge of the carpet until I came to
the bookcase. There, masked by the
books, I placed the little qulok shutter
camera and at a distance also concealed
the flssh light pan.
Next 1 aimed the camera carefully and
foaused It on a point above the drawer In
the writing table where anyone would be
likely to stand If he attempted to open
It. Then 1 connected the shutter of the
camera and a little spark coll In the
fiash pan with the wires, using an appa
ratus to work the shutter such aa I re
called having seen Craig use. Finally
I covered the sparking device with th
flashlight powder, gave a last look about
and snapped off the light.
I'P In my bedroom, I must ssy I felt
like "some" detective and I could not
help slapping myself on the chest for
tho ingenuity with which I had dupli
cated Craig.
Then I lay down on the bed with my
clothes on and picked up a book, de
termined to keep awake to see If any
thing happened. It was a good book,
but I was tired and In spite of myself
I nodded over It, and than dropped it

When the white men first came to Ne
braska to live, a hundred years ajro. they
found Indians every whne. The vmaha
Indians lived a little way from where the
city of Omaha Is located. One of the white
m-n, nsmcil I.uclon Kontanclle, who came
up the river front Ht. Louts to hunt snd
trade with the Indians for fur. built a
log eahtn on the bank of the Missouri
rlter near the Omaha Indian village,
lie hunted and traded many years. He
visited the Omaha Indians very often,
and lifter a time he took an Omaha girl
for his wife. They lived for meny years
more In the log cabin near the river
bank. They had four children, who grew
up tsll and strong and aooke two lan
gUHRcaone the Indian language, which
their mother knew, and the other the
French Isngusse, for their father waa
a Frenehman. They played all the sum
mer king under the ahade of the great
trees which grew on the bank of the big
river. Homet'mes they went with, their
mothers Indian people away across the
pralrlee to hunt buffalo. Such sport as
they hnd on these hunts! In the fall
they nlwnvn came bark to their home In
the log cabin by the big river.
Ono of the boys was named Ixigsn by
his father. He grew to be a very brave
and handsome boy. He learned to speak
Kngllsli besides French and Omaha.
When one of the old chiefs died, tagan,
who waa then a very young man, was
mado chief In his place. He was the
first Indian chief In our state who could
talk with the white men Just aa well as
a white man and with the Indiana Just
as well as an Indian.
In ISM when more white men began
to come across the big-river and wanted
to buy part of the Indian land, Jxgan
went to Washington with the other In
dian chiefs, who were not able to talV
In the white man's tongue, and help'
them to get a much for their land an
they could.
Tne Omaha Indians and the white men
arre slnv at peace, hut thero was wir
between the Hloux snd the Omnhas.
In the summer of ISM the Omsha In
dians left their village by the big river
to go out west to hunt buffalo. They
went along the Kikhorn river for two o
three days and then erossed the prairie
towaid the iintte. They were In what l
now lioouc eounty when the Sioux In
dians suddenly rame over the hills to
flKlit. Then the Omnha women and chil
dren ran back to camp as fust as they
could, while Logan and several other
On-m!:a Indians went out to fight the
Sioux, l.otiaii hud a fine, new double
barreled rifle of which lie was verv
, proud. It would ehoot a great deal far
ther than any other giin In the Omahrt
tribe. The tiloux had not seen a rifle
that shot twlee without loading and so
were much surprised when they founl
whst lagan's gun would do. Ferbep
this is what cost Logan his Ufa He rode
boldly out toward the Sioux and whan
they charged him he did not retreat, but
kept on shooting. Five or six of them
mounted on their ponies and mado a rush
at him. He killed three, but the others
came on and shot and scalped him.
Then there waa great sorrow in the
camp of the Omahaa. They gave up
their buffalo hunt and sewed the body
or Logan In an elk skin and brought It
on two ponies all the way back to the
Missouri river. On the top of a little hill
between Omaha and Bellevua, from which
one can look a long way up and down
the river, they dug a grave and hurled

had been my cleverest coup.
A little exclamation of aatonlshment

I looked again more closely. On the
Uttle finger of the left hand waa a pe

readily forgotten..

It on Del Mar's hand at his house this

I could only stare.
