A Boys Description Of the Bee.

One day Billy, witch had been . read
in that poetry about the bee, and the
ant, and sech things, KEEP a sayin it
over til we oil got sick of hearin It, so
one time wen he come in the dron
room and bust out with
How duth the little bizzy bee!
my father he said, William, that inseck
has past a tolably quiet mite, and is
doin as wei as GUIDE be expedited, it is
very good of your master to send you
to inquire 50 often, but it is nuisance
oil the same, SO am about to isshue this
bulletin, witch will save you any fur
Their trubble. Wen he said that my
father pict up paper waite and made
like he was q gOin to fling it, but Billy
he improved the shinin our by dashing
thru the dorc into the passidge.
l hate bees cos some foxes witch
writes is oil ways a crackin' 'cm UP,
like they was the NOSE industirus, and
ordly, and pcasable, and clever things
in Of this wOrl, and little boys and girls
OF to be like 'em. But wOt If little boys
and girls wudc sting like they does?
The bunny witch is tuke out of bee
hives is sweet, but frutc cake is the
STUFF for me. Bees wax, witch my moth
u uses wen she sose the baby's frox, is
Yothing but just bunny comb, but not
like you comb your head with.
The way the bees makes wax is this
way. A bee goes to a flour and roles
in it, and the dust sticks to his legs and
makes him feel uncomfortable. and wen
he cant stan it no longer, he
goes back to the hive, and wen
he gifts in there the hol porter bee says
boots! Then the boots bee comes and
brushes the dust off the bee witch rolled
in the flours legs, but don't sweep it
up, and SO many gOin in and out it
gifts trampcd into mud witch is wax.
But how they borcs the six corner holes
in it, les they do it with six corner
Oggur, and were they gifts the bunny to
put 'cm. is wOt beats me!
Maybe you have hear about bee
line. Wen bee gifts his legs lodcd,
like l tole you, and wants q brush up,
it ilise roun and rOun, Citing high up
per and high upper, oil the time, till it
sees witch way the hive is, and then it
has wasted SO much time it has got to
fiji nifty stratc to git home fore dark,

think itself SO Oncderful clever it wude
start of to random and inquire the way
and git home lots quicker and not 20
far to 60, but bees is bees. Only
don't like 'em to he throde up to me rs
if they knode it oil, and me and Billy
was fool.
Las summer our dog Towscr was a
lynn in the sun trine to sleep, but the
flies was that bad he cuddent, cos he
had to ketch 'em, but bimcby bee
lit on his head, and was a working q
bout like the dog was hiscn. Towser
he he'll his head still, and wen the bee was
close to his nose Towser winkcd at me,
like he said you see wot this duffer is q
doin, he thinks I'm lily of the vally
witch assent opn yet, but you jus wait
till l blossom and you will see some
good fun, and sure enuf Towser opend
his mouth very slow so as not to friten
the bee, and the bee went inside
Towser's mouth. Then Towser he shet
his eyes drecmy, and his mouth too,
and had begun to make peaccafle
smile wen the bee stung him, and you
never see a lilly of the valley ack SO in
oil your life!-Little Johnny, IN N. Y
