HIE OMAHA SUNDAY BKK: SKPTKMnKK LV.. 1:)1.V
TBS NUMEROUS Bible study classes orginlied in connection with
the "Billy" Sunday meetings have caused a wide awakening of
Interest In the grand old book. One worker, Miss Alio Miriam
Oamlln, devotes her time exclusively to little boys and airls, and
no doubt there are many Busy Bees in her classes. Not con
sidering the religious aide of It, there Is an Immense amount of pood to
be gotten oat of reading the Bible. Many of the stories are as engrossing!?
Interesting aa anything you can pick up on the shelves of the public library.
Tou will never regret any knowledge of the Bible you may glean, so
begin early. When you grow older and read a great deal, there will al
ways be a number of allusions made to biblical stories, which you will miss
Altogether unless you familiarize yourself with it now.
The Busy Bees have been busy establishing themselves la their new
class rooms for the last few weeks and so have not been sending many let
ters to the Busy Boe page. Now that school is in full swing and the days
sre much cooler, we expect to receive many letters from both the Red and
Blue sides.
Fhyllls Armstead won the prize book this week and Alice Grantham
and Helen Zeplln won honorable mention. All three girls are from the
Bne side.
Little Stories
(Prise Story.) j
The Flood.
By Phvllis Armntesd, Ared'11 Years,
North Bend, Neb. Blue Side.
One morning Mary and James were
awakened and told by their father that
the house had turned into a Noah's Ark.
They ran to the window to see what he
meant and found the house surrounded
by water. No green grass to be seen,
only the tops of plants, floating buckets,
boards and bee htves.
All day the children sat In the doorway
sailing- paper boats, wading In the water
end watching the men ride past In
boats.
It was great fun' the first day, but
the children soon wished to see the preen
crass and flowers again.
Very slowly at first, but going faster
and faster the water disappeared, leav
ing nothing but sticks, muck and boards
behind.

to help him out. lfe had a new suit on,
but that did not hinder. He put a log

History of Nebraska, by A E. Sheldon,

The First Homestead
The free homestead law has been called
the most Important act for the welfare
of the people ever passed In the United
States. Under this law any man or wo
man a years old or the head of a family
can have 160 acres of land by living on
It five years and paying about fin In
fees. For the first eighty years of
United States history there were no
free homesteads- The settlers wore
abllged to buy their land. The price
was low, but they were often very poor
and in many cases lost their land after
living Upon and improving It because
ihey had no money to pay for It.
In 1S62 a party, called the Free Boil
party, demanded free homesteads for the
people. In 1864 the first free homestead
bill was Introduced In congress by Con
gressman OaJusha A. Crow of Pennsyl
vania. The people of the west and pr
people everywhere were In favor of the
bill. There was strong opposition to it,
however. The first homestead act re
quired the settler to pay 28 cents an acre
for iris land, and was passed In 1860. This
bill was vetoed by ITesldent Buchanan.
It was not until May , 1461. that the
free homestead act was finally passed
and signed by President Abraham Lin
coln. The law took effect on January
i. im.
The first free homestead In the United
States wss taken by Daniel Freeman on
i 'ub creek in Out county, Nebraska,
about five miles northwest of Beatrice.

"Take your seat Amy and remain after

something. I heard the teacher say,
"Come here, Amy!" I heard the slight
steps of Amy. I heard the pit-spat of
the ruler. Amy came along, stubbed her
toe and dropped her book. I picked up her
book. "Thank you, Ruth." said she
gratefully.
Autumn.
By Grace I.. Moore. Aged 13 Years, Sil
ver Creek, Neb. Blue Side.
The autumn days have come, the ssd
dest days of the year. And all the au
tumn leaves sre falling fast and thick.
The fields and meadows are brown. And
all the flowers are gone except the yel
low goldenrod along the roadside and the
aster In the wood. The robins and the
wren have flown south long ago.
But all through the gloomy day wt can
hear the big black crow with his caw,
caw, caw. The little brook moves slow
as it chatters over its stony way, and
the fields look rich with golden grain.
The little squirrel in the woods creeps
sllghly down and gets a nut or two for
his winter's store. And the wldawaka
owl complains to the harvest moon.
And after dusk in autumn no more we
hear but the faint tinkle of the cowbell
the free homestead bill from the time it
was first Introduced in congress. Year
after year he watched Its progress and
hoped for Its passage and many tlmee
said that he wished to be the first man
to take a homestead. When the free
homestead bill was signed Daniel Free
man was a soldier In the Union army. A
few months later he was given a brief
furlough and cams to Nebraska to look
over the beautiful country, then lying
vacant, for a home. He found the place
that suited him and started for the near
est United States land office, which was
then at Brownsville, Neb., arriving there
December 81, 1SB2. Tho little town was
thronged with settlers, who had come
there to take land. That night there was
a New Year's Kve party at the hotel,
which was attended by all. The new
homestead Si t was to go Into effect the
next day, but ss New Year's was a holi
day, the land office would not be open
until January 2. Mr. Freeman was un
der orders to join his regiment and ex
pected to leave the next day. He told
hU story snd his great desire tu lie the
first homesteader In the United Plate
All the others agreed that he should
have the first chance and with him per
suaded a clerk In the land office to open
the office to open the office a few min
utes past midnight on January 1 for Dan
iel Freeman alone.
Thus It came that Daniel Freeman made
homstead entry number one and after
wards received homestead patent numlier
one for 10 acres on Cub creek near Beat
rice. Thus Nebraska has the honor of
having the first homestead In the United
States. Bines that time over l.OOO.uOO

Mabel Is a bundle glrL From SO In
the morning until o clock at night sue
sits in a little cage and wraps the mcr
chandlse, the salesmen and saleswomen
sell Into neat bundles for the customers.
At night she stays at home and sews thi
clothee she must wear or sometime
spends an evening at a moving picture
show.
Mabel Is very much the same as other !
bundle girls. She is about IS or 1" year
of age. She Is a very skillfull bundle
girl and her packages are always neat,
they never unwrap when the customer Is
caught In the crush of a crowded street
car and she la quick at her work. Hut
handle girls are plentiful. Them are al
ways nure bundle girls to be bad than
there are Jobs. As a result bundle girl
do not draw very pretentious salaries
Mabel receives :..'' In her pay envelope
each Saturday night, that is all she Is .
worth, because as we said before, bundle
girls are plentiful, the supply Is much
larger than the demand.
Mabel lives with her widowed mother :
and her older sister, who Is a salesgirl In .
, the same store with MabeL She was ,
moderately happy, sometimes, of course.
' she wished for the things other girts ,
have, but she was only a bundle girl and
I she realized that was all she was and
generally she was content with her lot. j
It really wasn't so hard te live on 7.50
a wee, living at horns.
Mabel Taken Mick.
But one day Mabel became sick. She
wss very 111 and for four weeks she was
confined to her bed.
To the ordinary bundle girl working In
the ordinary big department store where
a mere bundle girl was not even given a
thought in tho bustling activity of the
big store sickness would be a serious mix
hap. A bundle girl in the ordinary big
department store is only a very small
cog in the Immense tnarhlnery of the
store. If she falls to appear for work at
the usual hour some dsy her name la
scratched off of the payroll and that is
Bll there is to It.
Tour weeks of sickness would be a se
rlois predicament to the ordinary bundle
girl. It would mean the loss of four
weeks' pay. If not her Job. It would
moan big dot-tor bill, big bills for medi
cine nd count loss other bills. The ordi
nary bundle girl would not know from
where the money to pay these bills would
be forthcoming.
But with Mabel It was different.
For Mabel Is a bundle girl at the Burgess-Nash
store and Is a member of the
Burgcss-Nash Welfare association, Fur
tho infinitesimal sum of 10 cents a
month Mabel retains a membership In.
this association. And that 10 cents a
month and the welfare association pro
tected Mabel in her hour of need.
Asaoclnllon n tireat HsrreH.
The Burgcss-Naah Welfare association
was organised in May of this year. It
was organised under the sponsorship anH
encouragement of Louis Nash, manager
of the store, and during its short term
of life up to date has proven a great
success.
In the constitution of the association
it is stated that "the objects and pur
poses shall be to assist the members in
sickness snd distress, to promote a spirit
of good fellowship and fraternity."
And that Is why Mabel considers her
self so fortunate. During her long Illness
all of her doctor bllla were paid. Dr. a
C. Allison Is chief of the association's
medical staff. And when any member
. , .., in j
tSrfjr. dDcromt.n
W1 attention and the association foots
the bin. .
In addition all drugs which may be
necessary are provided by the essocla-
Hon And arain the association payg as
sn Insurance benefit one-half of the
salary earned during the term of illness.
So thus It was that Mabel had all nor
doctor bills paid, all her medicine pro-
vlded without cost and IS.75 a week, one-
half her salary, paid her. So when she
returned to work, once more healthy and
able, she did not owe a person a cent.
The case of Mabel, the little bundle
girl. Is not the only one the Burgese
Naah Welfare association has recorded
on Its books. Several other similar cases,
others which entailed minor operations,
others not so bad, others far worse, the
as the cattle wander off on the pasture
land and the waters of the rill.
The Raindrop Fairies.
By Leona Walter, Ased 10 Years. Wehoo,
Neb. Blue Side.
Did you ever watch the raindrops
Rscing down the window panes?
How thev chase each other gaily
While you're cross because it rains?
Did you ever stop to wonder
Where each sparkling raindrop gees
. As It quickly flashes by you
And across the sill It goes.
I shall tell you If you listen
How some raindrops on the pane
Help to make the earth more lovely.
And how some go home again.

of the homestead act had for Its refrain
these words:
Come along, corns along, make no delay.
Come lrom every nation, corns from

Our lands they are broad enough, have

For Uncle Sam Is rich enough to give
us all a farm.
Daniel Freeman served his country In

bride and settled on his Nebraska home
stead. This has remained ever since the
family home. Here their seven children
grew to manhood and womanhood and
hera Mra Freeman livee with children
and grandchildren.
Mr. Freeman died December 30, 19oj.

When the welfare association was
orgaiUsed .5 per cent of the employes of;
the Burgess-Nssh company became mcni-i
bars. Since then practically everybody
in the store has become a member and
the management of the store has been so
pleased with the success of the orviinl
Satlon that it requires each new employe
to enroll. Everybody belongs, from the
general manager to drivers on the wagons,
from the big buyers to the bundle girls,
from the department managers to the
office boys. Dues range from 10 cents
a week to GO cents a week In ratio to the

But the welfare association is not
merely a sick benefit association. It has
still another purpose. That la to promote
a spirit of fellowship and fraternity.
