where swans and ducks splash and
float on the water. "There is a nice
pavilion there and on beyond a wild
'little creek is ero'ssed by a rustic
.bridge, and here the water lillics grow
Stid tadpoles and frogs leap and swim
iiiong the leaves.
"There is a nice playground near
the band stand where there are
swings and slides andmp on the west
ern slope are the flower beds for
which llanscom park is famous.
Plants from everywhere: cactus,
orchids, palms and ferns, old fashion
ed posies and new varieties of blos
soms make glowing sp Jts of bloom,
and there's an arbor covered with
growing vines where you can sit and
rest and watch the humming birds

The met'ibers of the Fisk Bicycle
club of Dundee staged a "nearly" cir
cus Wednesday night for the benefit
of the French orphans and it was a
very novel and successful affair.
Over SoO was Liken in by the
treasurer.
Believe mc, it was a really truly
circus and ended in the regular ap
proved wild west style with a stage
coach holdup! Jean Rcdick was the
fair lady who was rescued from a band
;f warpath Indians by cowboys, who
had a boy scout look.
Oilier girls in the show who acted
as bareback riders and popcorn and
lemonade vendors were Alice Leslie,
Elizabeth Hecox, Jane Hecox, Helen
Hecox, Belle Arey. Mary Edminson,
lane Powell, and little 3-year-old Mol
lie Mclntyre, who did acrobatic
stunts. The boys who took part were
Ralph Church, George Tunnicliff. Ed
ward Rogers, Cameron Millard,
George Redick. Henry Silver, Haw
thorne Arey, Eugene Ely, Loyd Leslie
ind the three Mclntyre boys; Loyd,
Bruce and Jack.
"It's sure a circus to raise money
for, the French kiddies," said the pro
moters of the affair.
Forest Burbank is spending the
month of August at Intertockcn Inn.

Pierrot Goes
Up among the chimnevs tall
Lay the garret of Pierrot.
Here came trooping at his call
Fancies no one else might know;
Here he bade the spiders spin
Webs to hide his treasure in.
Here he heard the night wind
croon
Slumber songs for ileepy-heads;
Here he spied the spendthrift moon
Strew her silver on the leads;
Here he wove a coronet
Of quaint lyrics for Pierrette.

-But the bugles blew him down
To the fields with war beset;
Marched him past the quiet town,
! Past the window of Pierette;
Jtomrade now of sword and lance,
Pierrette gave his dreams to

Ells. Betty Sheets
Allow us to introduce Mademoi
selle Betty Sheets from Paris. This
little 8-year-old miss has lived nearly
all her life in France, but the deadly
aeroplanes which hover over Paris
frightened this little girl's mother and
father so badly that they came to
America. You have. read about the
German airmen who throw bombs on
the helpless people in the towns and
you can just imagine how frightened
Betty was when they all had to run to
the cellars to escape being killed. She
has nearly forgotten about those
times now, though, for she is having
such a lovely time visiting with Mr.
and Mrs. R. B. Howell.
Betty's daddy has gone back to
France very recently to help our sol
dier boys in the Young Men's Chris
tian association huts. Betty and her
mother will stay in peaceful America
until the war is over.

Frederick Abel lives away off in
Brooklyn, N. Y., and writes that he
has a large war garden that he cares
for and that a garden club has been
formed by boys and girls of his neigh
borhood. The members of this club
have a most unusual way of earning
money for thrift stamps, and this is
what it is.
It seems that this year Brooklyn gar
dens have been in danger of being
eaten up by caterpillars and so the
members of the garden club asked
their fathers what they would pay
to have the caterpillars killed. "One
cent for each worm," was the answer,
and now all the children are busy kill
ing the hairy, hungry worms.
Frederick has killed hundreds of
them and has over $50 in thrift stamps
already. He says that he knows that
caterpillars are pro-German 1
Mother's Birds.
By Dorothy Sherman, Aged 13 Years,
132 North Thirty-eigth Avenue,
Omaha.
Down in the orchard, under the trees,
There played the children, busy as
bees;
Each had her dolly to.love and caress.
While all centered 'round the wee
baby Bess.
Then, when mother called from the
stoop,
They started home, a tired-out group.
Each her supper soon was fed
And, hugging her dolly, went to bed.
They, like the birds, when in want of
rest,
Had come back home to, the little
nest.
So, when the sun set, golden red,
"Good night, dear mother, good i
night," they said.

ling he had caught up a big club that
stood near and began whirling it over
his head. But before it could de

his sword as far as it would go into
the corrugated body of the giant.

Little Stories
(Prize Story.)
Wise Little Hans.
By Marie Christenson. Aged 12. Alvo,
Neb.
My Dear Busy Bees: This is my
first letter:
Hans was a little 13-year-old boy,
who bad lived alone with his father
in Berlin,
One day he said, "Father, why don't
you go to America? I read you could
make more money and l know they
have a better government." (This was
25 vears before the war).
His father didn't want to go. He
said, "This is my favorite country.''
Then the boy grew angry, tor he
didn't like Germany's ruling and ways.
He went down to the seaport. Hans
then thought his father would not
know he was going. He wrote him
a letter, telling him. He would soon
be out of this ill-governed land.
One of his friends let him work his
was across on his ship. When he
landed in New York he got a posi
tion as an office boy. He soon worked
his way up until he was junior partner
I of his before-called employers. He
j then sent word to his father, only to
I learn from one of his friends that his
father had died in the poor house.
I He kept earning money until he
w as 35 years old and a rich man.
Then he bought Liberty bonds, gave
to the Red Cross, to the Young Men's
Christian association and joined the
army. He is now righting gloriously
"over there." This is not a true
story.
(Honorable Mention.)
Joan's Hardships.
By Marian Miner, Aged 10, Wayne.
Neb.
Joan was a little French girl who
lived near the fighting line.
Every night she could hardly sleep
because of the cannons roaring and
shells bursting.
There also was another little girl
who lived in New York City and was
very rich. Her mother and father
had never helped in buying war sav
ings stamps and Liberty bonds. The
rich girl's name was Alice. She had
never helped win the war.
Oneway a telegram came to Alice's
father saying he was drafted.
Her father went.
Two years later her father came
back, bringing Joan with him.
Alice's mother adopted Joan and Alice
was very happy.

How Laviriae was Hurt.
Thelma Deles Dernier, Elmwood,

Dear Busy Bees: This is the third
time I have written to this page.
One day at school we were tcter
totering on the tetertoter and one of
the children jumped off and my leach
ed jumped off, too. And as the other
end went up Lavinae caught her finger
between the boards and my teacher
just started to get on, and Lavinae
began to cry and the teacher got off
and took it out, then washed it and
it was all right. .

An Indian
By Lillie M. Daw, Aged 13, Oakland,
la, Jv, r D., No. 1.
I received the prize book several
weeks ago and I thank you very
much. 1 will write a story about an
Indian.
One day when Helen Brooks was
15 years old she was left at home to
do up her work while her parents
went visiting. While they were gone
an Indian came toward the house.
Helen was very frightened and the
Indian knocked at the door, Helen
went to the door, but she was pale
with fright. The Indian looked at
her and said "you frightened, Mc
not hurt you. Me am tired and wants
a drink of sweet milk." Helen now
was not so frightened as she was at
first, so she said, ''Come in and have
dinner." The Indian accepted and
ate heartily. When he was through

dead.
Then the fairy turned to Twinkle,
and kneeling before her he kissed her
hand.
"Thank you very much," he said, in
a sweet voice, "for setting me free.
You arc a very brave little girl!"
"I'm not so sure about that," she
answered. "I-was dreadfully scared!"
Now he took her hand and led her
from the castle; and she didn't have to
squeeze through the fence again, be
cause the fairy had only to utter a
magic word and the gdfe flew open.
And when they turned to look back,
the castle of the Corrugated Giant,
with all that it had contained, had
vanished from sight, never to be seen
again by either mortal or fairy eyes.
For that was sure to happen when
ever the giant was dead.
The prince led Twinkle into the
valley where the fairy palaces stood,
and told all his people, when they
crowded around to welcome him, how
kind the little girl had been to him,
and how her courage had enabled him
to defeat the giant and to regain his
proper form. And all the fairies
praised Twinkle with kind words, and
the lovely Queen Flutterlight, who
seemed altogether too young to be the
mother of the handsome prince, gave
to the child a golden medal with a tiny

TO RUTH i
Up in the air, in the tall rope swing, j
e liked it as well as anything. j
We could reach the high boughs of the locust trees, 'j
And hear the loud humming of the bumble bees. !
In the grove were hammocks swaying,
'Round the see-saw birds were playing
What a lovely place to be,
What a happy time had we.
"Giggy" was Ruth's sister's name;
She sometimes. joined us in our game.
But, alasl came news one day
Ruth was going to move away. ,
But the swing that we loved so well
Was left behind, I'm sorry to tell.
The see-saw, it was taken along,
And the trees all sighed a farewell song.
But her new home wasn't so far away
But what I could sometimes go and play,
When I first went there I thought 1 heard,
"Welcome 1 Welcome I" from a singing bird.
And we now take dancing lessons together,
And we go in bright or rainy weather.
Just for the chance to meet again,
We two, happv, life-long friends.

he said you good lady, you kind to
poor Indian. Indian never forget,
and he walked away.
After that he was never seen until
one day when he came through the
country selling baskets. He came to
the house and Helen bought a
basket, but he would not take pay
for it. He said: "No, No. You were
kind to poor Indian when he was tired
and hungry. Me told you Indian
never forget. This is my pay for it.
Helen looked at him and saw it was
the same Indian, so she was glad that
she had given him dinner. For it
was a very beautiful basket.
Well, I hope this is in print and I
hope the Busy Bees will like it.
The Penny.
By Rosie Prazak, Aged 12 Years,
Clarkson, Neb. Blue bide.
Dear Busy Bees: This is my first
letter and I wish to join the Blue bide
Long, long ago, I was a piece of
copper. One day my triends and 1
were having a nice time, when we
heard a noise. It was so near us that
we were frightened and did not know
what to do. All at once it became
very light and nearly made me blind.
I was taken up by a man and put
into a cart with many of my friends.
We were very sorry to leave our home
and were taken to a building atd
washed off so that we would be clean.
We were " put in a big kettle to
melt. It was very hot. After we
were smelted we had to go through
a tube into another kettle, where we
were melted.
Then we went through another long
tube into a big iron pan. Here we
were left to cool and harden. We
were then shaped into pennies.
We were left to get real Jjard and
then wc were put into the register.
There were many strange people
there. They. did not care for me and
talked about me. This made mc very
sad. After a while I was taken out
and given to a little girl. She lost me
and a man found me and with some
other pennies and me he bought a war
savings stamp. I think I helped in this
war, too.
How Claud and Lily Earned a Living;
By Frances Tomjack, Aged 13, Ew
ing, Neb. Red Side.
Claud and Lily's father and mother
were dead and they had to work
very hard for a living.
They, Claud and Lily, owned a
small five-acre piece of land, of which
they made good use.
Lily was 17 years of age and Claud
was 21. Their mother died at Lily's
birth and their father some three
years later.
The children had been taken care
of by an old lady called "Mother
Brown" until Claud should become of
age, so as to work on their small
piece of ground.
The first year Lily planted a large
garden. Claud bought a cow with
the money he had earned. They were
getting along nicely when war was
declared. Claud was drafted in the
first draft and went to the training
camps a few days later. Lily was
left all alone and she felt very sad
when Claud went awfcy, but s.ill she
was glad to think that he was serving-
their country to help win t' :
war.
But in her sorrow Lily did not
forget herself.
, What was she going to do? First
of all, she would start to economize,
in case Claud would not come back.

Then, after a fine feast had been
prepared, and the little girl had eaten,
all she could ot the tairy sweetmeats,
she told Prince Melga she would like
to go home again-
"Very well," said he. "Don't for
get me, Twinkle, although we prob
ably shall neyer meet again. I'll send
you home quite as safely as you came,
but as your eyes have been rubbed
with the magic maita-leaf, you will
doubtless always see many strange
sights that are hidden from other
mortals." , -
"I don't mind," said Twinkle.
Then she bade goodby to the fai
ries, and the prince spoke a magic
word. There was another rush of
wind, and when it had passed Twinkle
found herself once more in the back
yard at home.
As she sat upon the grass rubbing
her eyes and wondering at the strange
adventure that had befallen her, her
mamma came out upon the back porch
and said: '
"Your turtle has crawled out of the
tub and run away."
"Yes," said Twinkle. "I know, and
I'm glad of it!"
But she kept her secret to herself.
(New Story Next Week'1
At the end of one month after Claud
went away Lily received a letter from
Claud in which he sent her hit first
month's pay. She took this lonev
and bought everything she needed
for canning purposes. Then she
canned all the vegetables and .ruit
that she could, so she would have
something to eat in the winter. Then
another idea came to her. She would
let the place and go and work out,
She sold everything she had canned
and made about $20 profit on it. Then
she rented the place for a modert-te
sum. She also rented the cow with
the place. She hired herself for a
