visit TO this city continue to cir
cuIate. PRESIDENT Roosevelt un-
quesGonably the distinction in the
eyes Of the proverbial"s rall boy"
of being the greatest hero that
ever occupied the White House.
At every turn in the proceedings
at Charleston Young America was
omnipresant. 1t was unquestion-
ably a great disappointment to
many If the rising generation
that the president was willing to
ride into Charleston in an open
carriage-one who writes SO graph
ically of hunting big game In the
Rockies and shooting Spaniards at
the head of the rough riders.
Theirs were evidently many who
were prepared to see him riding
down Meeting street on jump
ing broncho, in full suit of buck
skin, throwing lariat at every
passing trolley, and with SIX
shooter in either hand sending
every citizen who put in an APP
pearance hurrying to cover. Such
was evidently the dream of one
young hopeful, who ejuaculated:
''He amt him"
''Sure, it g him."
"Ah, gwon, he's a preacher; he
amt no president, an he amt no
cowboy, neither"
swell, it's him, anyhow. Amt
it, mister?"
A nod of approval brought forth
a grunt of disapproval from the
small boy, and the significant ex-
preston, "Hully gee!"
Another bay was made happy,
and undoubtedly went to bed
to dream some day Of being made
president. In some accountable
"a small boy's-a youngster slip
ped through among the horses
feet, and, getting near enough to
the carriage to attract .theI atten-
ton of the guest of the day, stared
in .open-mouthed amazement at
President Roosevelt, and then, just |
before an officer swooped down
upon him, called out: "How's that
boy of your'n!'
"Hello, young man," replied
the chief magistrate, evidently
much pleased; Hes getting along
nicely; hope you are -"
But just then an officer made for
the small boy, who darted out of
sight, evidently the most pleased
youngster in all Charleston, from
having had a real, though inter-
rupted interview with the presi-
dent of the United Safes.
The Fish.
LUCY CROSBY, AGE 8 YEARS.
Early one spring morning a lit
tie fish was swimming in the wa
ter. He had not had an breakfast
that morning. After awhile he
saw big worm. He jumped and
got the worm and said, show good
that was" When he had eaten
the worm, he felt something pull
ing him up. He could not think
what it was. He looked up to see
what it was and what do you think
he saw He saw an old man
laughing. The man carried him
home to the cook and had her to
cook it for dinner. She cut the
fins off and put it on the dish. l
like fish very much to eat.

Bees.
MAY STOREY, AGE S YEARS.
Wild bees build their homes in
hollow trees. Bees that we see
here have hives. They do not live
in houses like we do. Their hives
\
have little rooms and they are call
ed cells and they get the honey
from the flowers and fill these
little cells full of honey. The cells
are made of comb and people take
the comb and squeeze the honey
out of it and sell it. I like honey
when it is fresh. Don't you +?
There are three kinds of bees.
They are the drone, the queen and
the worker and the bees wait on
The queen.
