The Fairy Shoes.
Once upon a time there was a
littli boy and his namewas Tom,
Tom was always late to school
and his mother didn't know what to
do. One day she went to town and
she complained and the people all
said. "Why get a pair of fairy shoes."
So she did. She went home very
well pleased. Tom came home and
the next, morning he put on the new
fairy shoes and started for school
Just as he was but Jialf way he saw
rabbit over in the other field. He
said he was going to get it so he
crawledjQver the fence and his new
fairy shoes started to pinch his feet
but he didn't care. The fairy shoes
knew it was near school tune. He
started still farther in the field, so
his little fairy shoes got off of his
feet and went on to the school house
and tip-tap, tip-tap,, the little shoes
went right up in front where Tom
should have ..been.
Tom finally came to school, tie
put on the fairy shoes and next
morning he was the first one there.
The fajry shoes had taught Tom a
lesson. Tom nvas never late any
more. So let's all take up this and
you won't he late to school.

The Story of Alice.
Once upon a time there was a
little girl, her name was Alice. Alice
was a bravegirl. Once her mother
said to her, "Alice, I want you to
. 6 down town, anu kci
meat, and sctme bread." Alice had
on her every day dress, but" she went
down town, anyway. Her dress
wasn't very dirty. She put on her
hat and away she went. The first
thing she saw was a boy. .He said
to her, "You get out of my way
or I will throw this rock at you."
Alice said, "If you do I will throw
something at you, too." "If you do
anything to me 1 willv throw this
at vou.' ' .
"Oh I I bet you cant throw it
at me." And she went on as if
nothing Had happened. Soon she
came to the store. Someone was
getting waitedyn. Then she thought
a minute what kind of bread does
mother always get. Well, .anyway,
I will get Tip-Top bread. Then she
went up to the counter. "I want a
loaf of Tip-Top bread." "All right,"
answered the iclerk, "is that all."
"Yes, ma'am." 'Then she went down
to the meat market and got twenty
cents worth of beafsteak. One the
way coming back she got home
without talking to the same boy.

y Enjoyed Her Book
To the editor of the Busy Bees,
Thanks to you dear editor,
For the prize you gave to me, '
And for the kindly interest you've
shown
Through the page of the Busy Bee.
I have read my prize book all
through and like it fine. My brother
sent you a story a few years ago
and got a prize book called "Sowing
Seeds in Danny," and he liked it
fine. So I thought I would send
the poem that i maae up m my own
T ds and was so surprised when
we got the paper and I found I had
gotten the prize. I wish , to thank
you very much for it. I am now
sending you a poem of mine called
"The Easter Poem or the Two
T inlc Grains of Corn." I have writ
ten quite a few poems and like the
work fine.
A 'little girl planted tw6 grains of
corn, 1
In the cold damp earth onf April
morn;
Cold and helpless in their earthly
"bed,
They closed their eyes and , their
prayers they said.
But the sun came up and warmed
their bed,
And soon the living rose from the
dead;
They grew to maturity in the sum
mer's sun,
And a voice from heaven said,
"well done!"
So if you have earthly trials and
afflictions
And wished you'd never been born,
Just take for your comforting lesson
The two helpless grains of corn.

The Spider and the Bee
And the Memory-Man said:
An envious Sp:der, observing that
the Bee made profit with her honey,
sought to enrich herself also. Seeing
a merchant sellint? linen in his shop,
she set to work and, all night long,
spun magnificent webs. But, next
day the,buyers purchased linen, and
only looked askance at the Merchant
who Had neglected to brush away the
cobwebs. Soon the Merchant took
a broom and swept the webs away.
The Spider was indignant
"See," she cried to the Bee, "how
unjust is the world 1 Whose weav
ing was the finest, mine,' or those
that the Merchant sold?"
"Yoursof course," soid the Bee.
J'Who can deny it? But in your
"weaving there is neither warmth nor
wear. Why, then should it be
bought?"
Often the greater usefulness lies in
the coarser things. R.-W.

Saturday. The confetti ran out and
ended the chase when it was but
half over. When it came time to

throng wended their way to Center
street and hiked along till they

darkness came and the girls found
their way to their hornes.
V$hy Do I Get Out of
Breath When Running? ;
This is also caused by your brain
in its efforts to keep up your sup
nlv of good blood.. We breathe to
take air into the lungs, where the
blood which has once been through
the arteries and comes back cm its
return trip to the heart is"8woo;ed
to the air in the lungs, before going
back into the heart Ihe air which
we take into our lungs purifies the
once used blood and makes it into
good blood again. When you run,
the heart pumps blood into your ar
teries 'faster to enable you to run.
Ufrus also, the arteries send much
blood back to the heart through the
vines, and this must be purified by
the lungs before going back into
the heart. To' attend to purifying
this extra amount of spoiled blood
the lungs need more air, and thus
you are made to breathe in more
air for the purpose. Unless you are
in good training your wind in good
condition, as we say it is almost
impossible tor you to supply the
lungs with enough air forvthe pur
pose, but whether you can do it or
not, the lungs 'call upon you for
more air, add cause you to try 'to
get it, and that is what makes you
get out of breath. From the Book
of Wonders.

For
Standard Troop New
-'Plan for Scouting
The disappointing thing about
most contests and races is that there
can be but one winner. And while
the victor is exulting in his laurels
the other contestants are disappoint
ed, discouraged, and downcast But
now a new form of contest has been
developed for scouts, one in which
there will be as many winners as
there are hard workers.
Headquarters has evolved a new
organization to be known as the
"Standard Troop." This means that
the local council has set 4 certain
standards to 'which they - expect a
troop to be able to measure up, if
-rt is efficiently conducted.
A list of "Standard Troops" will
be published at the end of each
month in the "Scout News" and also
posted on some form of plaque at
headquarters. Then the stunt will
be to keep your troop on the list
month after month.
The", list of requirements which
will become effective December 1,
will be published in the next "Scout
News." -The present plan is to raise
the standards , March 1 to require
that a Standard Troop must" have
at least one assistant scoutmaster
and one scout aide who has attended
the Scout Aide's training camp. Also
the'six months' time limit for remain
ing tenderfoot may at that time be
reduced to four months. ,
A Scout Aides' Training camp will
be held af Camp, Gifford for three
days beginning November 2d. The
purpose of this camp is to better
prepare the leading scouts for the
work this winter. Each day will
have a full program and a great deal
will be accomplised in a short time.

Frank and the Birds.
Frank was a little boy about 4
years old. He liked to throw stones
at the birds. One day when he was
playing a boy threw a stone at him.
He went in and told his mother and
she added: "How do you like to have
stones thrown at you?"
"I don't like it," he replied.
"How do you suppose the birds
like it?"
"I don't know," he replied.
"They like it about as well as you
do," she said. He never threw a
stone at a bird again. Paul Schmin
