The Busy Bee.

The Busy Bee is a name which
Mrs. Amsberry adopted some
years ago for her Sunday School
class. The members of her class
range in age from nine to twelve
years. And while the membars
of the Busy Bee necessarily must
change by graduation and by the
the admission of new recuits, the
name has served the same class
of loyal workers for the last
dozen or more years. This Busy
Bee Society meets at the home of
its teacher ever Friday afternoon
after four o'clock for the work of
the society. The society elects
its officers from its members.
An election is held once a month
when a president, vice president,
secretary and treasurer are elect
ed. The sessions open with
scripture reading, prayer and
reading Of the minuets. A mem
bership fee of five cents a month;
is collected which added to the
money earned by sewing carpe
rags, tying comforts, etc accumu
lates quite a little sum which il
used as the society may designate
for charitable purposes. In the
winter of "a and IS when Their,
were so many needy in our mids
they used their means to provid,
for the poor. They frequentl,
contribute towards furnishing
the church by helping to blu,
carpet, window blinds for thei

class room, song books, etc.
When a larger expenditure than
usual is decided upon an occasion
social has been held. The society
has an Indian school in Oklahoma
to which it contributes annually
about Christmas. One of the
pleasant features of the Busy Bee
is the Easter Egg hunt which
Mrs. Amsberry provides for an
nually on the Saturday before
Easter. The last egg hunt was
one of the most pleasant. Prizes
are awarded to all the hunters
and the most successful drawing
first prize. The number of eggs
hidden is regulated by the
number in the society from three
to six for each member of the
class. On last Saturday week
when the hunters had completed
their work having found every
egg but one they were served
with refreshments, consisting of
ice cream, cake, fruits etc. The
frequent meetings of the society
and the work in which the mem
bers are engaged helps them Ato
grow up into intelligent and
active workers i'll the community.

A New Time Card

The State Journal of the Stll
gives J. Francis opinion of the
new time card that is to go into
effect on the Burlington May LIST.
No. Al that leaves Lincoln now
at lilo p. m. and arrives at
Billings at ais am. second day,
will leave Lincoln at 100 a. nj,
and arrive at Billings 3:45 a. III.
next day. That will bring Al
into Broken Bow about 6:30 a. NJ.
instead of 4:04 as now. No. AZ
will arrive at Lincoln at ITO p.
IN. instead of 4:45 a. NJ. It's
time for Broken Bow will be
about g or $50. Whether there
are to be any changes made on
43 and Al is not stated, but as AZ
will come in here on AIS time, in
all PROBABILITY there will be change
made in the time of the local
trains. 1t is claimed the change
contemplated will enable the
road to make more satisfactory
connections at both Kansas City
and Billings.
