Baby Ruth,s Bee Story.

So many things were left to do that
Baby Ruth was not nearly ready to go
to bed. Her clothes were off, her little
white nightgown was on; but Baby
Ruth was not sleepy.
Gamma said. Does Ruth want to
hear about the bee?'
Yes, Ruth did. So mamma began:
"One morning all the bees flew out of
the hives, and went over to the linden
trees. Each bee carried two little
honey-bags, which she filled with lin
den-honey, and then toon home to the
hive. Then she went back for more.
All the bees worked hard till they were
tired. Then they went home to sleep,
all but one little bee, who thought
she could carry another load of honey
before night. Back she flew to the lin
den-trees, and filled her bags;
but before she was halfway home, it
grew very dark.
e'What could the poor little bee do?
She looked and looked for place to
sleep, till at last she found and crept
into red rose.

FORTH till the little bee was-sound-

Mammals voice had been sink o.
lower and lower, when she stopped,
Baby Ruth was fast asleep.
In the morning she thought of the
bee; and, when she went into the rose
garden, she began to pull the red roses
open. At last she opened the largest
of all, and there was the little bee!-

since morning!
Poor Harry had been sick, and now,
although he was much better, he had
to lie in bed from morning till night.
Mamma had read to him and told him
stories, and he had looked at pictures,
but now there seemed nothing left to

We're shut tight to keep them back

been strong and well. Now he felt

told Harry, while l get some paper"
Harry watched her. She tore good

then she took the balloon and tied the
paper to the end of the string ani l,,

go up to the ceiling; but no down 1t

Then mamma tore OF some of the

Harry watched II. II hoyercd over

II would be so quiet for several min.

says the Kansas City Journal. This
was Wayne City, located few miles
down the Mississippi river from Kan
sas City, and it was connected with
Independence by railroad in 1851. The
road was built by Independence capi-
tai. and was projected In an effort
being made ut the time by lndepend.

in the overland trade. Wayne City
being the river landing for lndepend'
ence. The railroad was but little
more than Il mile in length and was
built with hewn rails and the trains
passing over IL were drawn by mules.
\ large, two-story brick depot was
built in Independence and used as Il
warehouse and railway station, but
the venture never proved successful
and the first line of railway ever con-
structed In the west was early aban'
doned. The depot in Independence
was long used us IL livery stable, but
was burned nearly 20 years ago. and
the very fact of the existence of the
railroad had nearly passed from mem
ory until Commissioner w. l.. Trick.

Tomato Insecticide.

II is reported that farmer In South
America has discovered that leaves OF
the tomato plant will drive insects
away fron, other plants, He covered
the tomato leaves over rare young
shrubs he wished to protect from the
sun and small insects, and was de-
lighted To lind that the latter left as
soon as they got the odor OF the tomato
leaves. lie then extended the same
treatment to an entire row of young
peach trees. aud his success was com.
plete. To render the process more
simple. hc tried IL coctlon Of the fresh
tomato leaves as u spray In other trees
and shrubs aud found that he had a
perfectly effective weapon, which cost
practically nothing. lie also found
that spray of the same kind would
keep fies of his horses.
