while witches ride astride
have spirits possessed. This is the time held sacred for boyish
pranks and neighbors have come to realize that the safe thing to
to do is to place porch benches, swings ana otner aetacnanie prop
erty under lock and key. But even this isn't proof that the boys of the
neighborhood won't transfer your beldngings to a point several blocks
away. tt0
This is a great season for Hallowe'en parties, with appropriate decora
tions, so the Busy Bee editor is expecting a number .of letters this week
telling about the good times the boys and girls enjoyed and just what they
did to enliven the neighborhood. There is only one caution the editor would
like to make and that is against the destruction of any one's property. There
is no fun in doing that that's naughty.

Little Stories
(Prize Story.)
James Whitcomb Riley).
By Rosalia Hertz, Aged 12 Years,
Mb south Seventh street.
Red Side.
October 7 was James Whitcomb
Riley's birthday. He was known as
the "Hoosier'"Toet and was loved
by everyone, especially those who
had really seen him. The following
is a sketch of his early life: '
On an early day ot Uctober Keu-
ben A. Riley and his wife rejoiced
over the birth of their second son
at Greenfield, Ind. The baby, James,
soon found out that he had a brother
and sister, James Andrew and Mar
tfta. Celestia, waiting to greet him.
James was a slender lad and had
silkish hair, wide blue eyes and was
shv and timid. He was not strong
physically and feared the cold of win
ter and the rough sports of the other
boys of the neighborhood. Yet he
. ,, . ' - r .1. ti:
WSL.IUU oi spirit oi youm. iris ev
eryday life was that of an average
boy in the average country town of
that time. His father was a captain
of cavalrv in the civil war. Before
he was a captain he was a lawyer of
irreat ability. Hit mother was a
strong womanwho had much syrn-
patny ana clear understanding, mis
made home lite to james ana nis oro
ther and sister a haDDV one. Indeed.
When he was 20 years old his mother
died. 1 hi made a deep impression
upon him when he became a poet.
At an early age ne was sent to
school. His first teacher was a little
6ldwoman, rosy and roly-poly, and
she looked as if she fell or tumbled
out of a fairy tale, for. she was so
lovable and jolly. She kept school in
her dwelling of three small, but beau
tiful, rooms. There was a small
porch in the rear which was a play
ground for the children. There was
also an old locust three nearby. On
one of its large branches there was
s rone swine:. Everv recess the chil
dren would swing in this old, old
swing or either play on the porch.
If one of the children would grow
drowsy or sleepy, the ' kind little
teacher would carry them to the
porch, where they could sleep peace
fully. When he went through this
school he went to otner acnooia anu
later went to college.
At first he was a sign painter, later
a strolling player and afterward an
editorial writer on the Indianapolis
Journal. His poems became so popu
lar that he soon gave public recita
tions of them in different cities.
Among his poems are "The Old
Swimmin' Hole," "The Boss Girl,"
"Afterwhiles," V'Rhymes of Child
hood," "Green Fields and Running
Brooks." and many others. A lad day
came when he died, July 22, 1916. Of
course, he could not write any more
poems, but the people were satisfied
with those that he did give, or rather
had to be satisfied, for they knew that
the poems would always seem new to
them, no matter how many times fltey
read them.
I have learned a good many of his
poems by heart and am going to

LETTER TO
RAYMOND'S
will be written on a subject
comparatively easy to han

human interest, and your ex

you no' stranger to selling

Therefore you do know how
you like to be waited upon.
The salesman who ad

value in' point of useful aid
to his customer must gain
from those he waits upon the
major part of his knowledge
throughout his years of ex

Blue Side. w
Reading is my favorite pastime. I
like to read books that are interest
ing. If I am all alone I can sit down
in la cozy corner and then reading I
do not get lonesome. When reading
stories of foreign countries, as of In
dia and Japan, it seems as though I
am traveling through the beautiful
countries. Then when I am through
I am home again. Stories of Ireland
are very interesting. The fields are
green all the year and the cozy little
farm houses are surrounded by beau
tiful bright colored flowers. I like
to read books that tell of our coun
try or of heroej.
Some other books that I have read
or have heard read are "Laddie,"
"What , Tommy Did," "Bunny Bright
Eyes," "Evangeline" and "Snow
bound." My prize book, "The Sap
phire Signet," contains a mystery that
keeps unraveling further and further
and makes it very interesting.

One August, about five years ago,

We passed about seventy-five miles
east of the Rocky mountains. They

POLITICAL, AnVERTISEMKNT.
N GEORGE E. HALL
State Treasurer of Nebraska.
Mr. Hall, state treasurer of Ne
braska, ia a man who knows hii own
mind. Nobody who haa watched things
at the slate capltol closely during the
past year and a half vtil question
that statement. It' used tobe said of
some men who served, as state treas
urer at different times that they
were "bossed from the outside." No
body has ever accused Hall of any
such thing. I
Tha principal charge brought
against Treasurer Hall by hia critics,
in fact, is just the reverse. It; is that
he "won't take advice." His friends
put It differently. They Bay
"When George Hall makes up his
mind that a thing is right or wrong,
he acta accordingly. He doesn't play
nolitics in the way that many public
officials do. He follows his convic
tions and doesn't stop to figure out
what the political effect may be upon
himself.
The state treasurers office is a
place where a man has to know his
own mind If he is going to manage it
with an eye aingle to the interests of
the state and its people. He handles
cash and securities amounting to $15.-
000,000, a year. He is responsible for
a million er two of state fundi de
posited with banks.
Treasurer Hall's requirement for
county treasurer! and state depart
ments to pay all state funds into the
treasury monthly (which was never
done before), has- made it possible
for th state board of assessments to
reduce the state taxes during 1S16
and 1916 $1,000,000 lower than they
were for 1913 and 1914. ,
Treasurer Hall's wise and careful
handling of state funds entitle, him
to re-election. 1

One week we went to Buffalo Lake
to camp. It was so wide that we
could not see across it. My uncle
had made a motor boat and a row
boat. We took them along, and also
tents, eats, kettles, bed clothes, dishes,
etc. There were bluffs all around the
lake and we climbed them.
We went out in the rowboat and
motor boat, and also borrowed' a sail
boat and took a ride in that. We
caught fish and killed ducks. We saw
many buffalo skulls and we brought
some buffalo teeth home with us.
There used to be so many buffajo
around there that there is where the
lake got its name.
We stayed about a week at the lake;
We started home at the end of that

SPECIAL NOTE Dr. K, Ssuer. a phy

country and Europe, has bten specially em
ployed to make a thorough investigation into
the real ecretof the great strength, power
and endurance of Jess Wlllard, and the
marvelous value of nuxated Iron as a
strength builder.
NEW YORK Upon being interviewed at
his apartment in the Colonial Hotel, Mr.
Willard said i "Yes, I have a chemist with
me to stady the value of different foods
and .product as to their power to produce
great strength and endurance, both of which
are so neeeesary in the prise ring. On his
recommendation I have often taken nux
ated iron and I have particularly advocated
th free use of iron by all thol who wish
to obtain great physical and mental power.
Without It I am sure that 1 shoud never
have been a be to whip Jack Johnson so
completely and easily e I did and while
training for my fight with Frank Moran,
I regularly took nuxated iron, and I am
eertain that it was a most important factor
in my winning the fight so easily." Con

Is only on of hundreds which I could cite
from my own personal experience which

How Came First Ladyslipper.
Uy Jennie Doyle, Omaha, Neb.
J li the middle of a forest, far, far
away, was a tiny glen, on which grew
thousands of the prettiest and sweet
est flowers " in the world. Now it
happened one day that the smallest
of the fairies, whose name was Lady,
went away on a visit to the elves, and
when she came back she found her
palace, which was in a lily of the val
ley., badly ruined and trampled to
the ground. So grieved was Lady
that she sat down on a small bed of
moss and wept. A robin overhearin
an oak tree heard her and cried:
"Where are your slippers? Where
are your slippers?"
Lady suddenly remembered the
slippers which the queen had given
her, for they were fairy slippers, you
must know, and would carry her
wherever she went, for she had no
wings. One must do a great deal be
fore they can have wings in the fairy
world.
Lady looked all around in the ruins
of her palace, but could not find her
slippers. As she was very sad she
thought she would go over to the gar
den and look at the flowers, thinking
maybe she would find her slippers
there. Lady looked and looked, but
all in vain, for her slippers were not
there.
At last, pushing away some tall
grass, she saw a small plant on which
grew little red flowers shaped like a
cup. They were round and very
small, so small that Lady could
get her foot into the one she had
pulled off. Pulling off another one
she hastened back to the queen's
palace. .' ;
The queen asked her where she got
her shippers and Lady said: "Some
one trampled down my palace and
my slippers were ruined, too. So I
went into the garden, and I saw these
growing on a strange plant."
Thequeen and Lady went to the
glen to see the little plant. When the
queen saw it she said: "Its name
shall be ladyslipper," and to this, day
it is still called the ladyslipper..'

Years., Omaha, Neb.
Once long ago in the city of Troy
there lived a beautiful maiden. She
had long golden hair, large brown
eyes and cheeks that . looked like
roses. Her name was Foxtina.
She was a very bright and intelli
gent girl; in fact, the brightest of
her class. But although she was wise
and good she loved to roam about the
forests and be idle. One day as she
was walking through the forest she
saw a bright streak of gold flash be
fore her. She gave chase to it, but
could not catch it.
Now and then she would lose sighf
of it and then she would see it again,
far across a stream or far in front
of her. Once she came so close to
it that it dazzled her eyes, so bright
was it. Just as they were drawing
near the edge of the forest the golden
flash stopped and Foxtina came near
running into it, but the object held
out a delicate hand. Foxtina looked
at it, then she looked' up and beheld
a beautiful youth. He had'long curly
hair of yellow gold, light blue eyes
and wore a short frock of white mus
lin as the shepherds wore out in the
meadows and field as they tended

spoke his voice was like distant music.
He spoke to her and said, "Fair maid

How Pasy Came to Earth.
-By Anton Stejskal, Omaha, Neb.
Once upon a time in the early days
of Odin and the gods and- goddesses
there was a beautiful woman who was
the daughter of one of the goddesses.
She was loved by everyone because
of her kindness and beauty. Just
outside of this little city there was a
beautiful magic garden of flowers.
As soon as anydne entered they
would at that very, moment be
changed into some flower. She
longed to go to see this garden, but
she had been forbidden by her par
ents. " i
Now there was a god named Loke,
a very wicked god. When he heard
of this magic garden he thought of
taking this beautiful maiden there and
then get a large sum of money from
the parents if he could get her to.
life again. .. i . . 1
The next day he asked her if she
wanted to go to the garden and she
said, "Yes, that's where I've been
wanting to go for years." After a
long and difficult journey they finally
arrived at the garden:,
Loke opened tie gate and bade her
enter: then she sank to the ground,

As years passed by her body de

mixed Tith the dirt. Year and year
passed by and finally there grew a
pansy. So when the gods and god
desses went to see the garden they
found a new flower growing. It had
a black center and the other part was
yellow. When they all saw it they
named it "Pansy." The roots of the
pansy spread and spread until now we
find them in nearly every garden.
This is the way the first pansy came
to dwell in the land.
