Gee, I'm glad you've come! Mamma, Burt

said Jack. But III call her"
In response to Jacks call Rosie came
running TO welcome the little callers. She
was a year younger than Daisy; was her
chum at school and her very best friend IA
the country.
Say" said Billy. I'VE came over to get
a ride in Burt's boat. Say, its a fine one,
isn't II? Just skins the water like a bird. "
Yes, her names White Wings" in

You've seen how I and Burt can make her

Yes, and I wondered II I might handle
a pair OF the oars for a little while" said
Billy. I'm dead crazy TO learn TO row"
Sure agreed Jack. But wen have to
wait till Burt is here to go with us, you

good at the oars as his big brother, n
now his opinion was strengthened by his
chum's assurance, In fact, when speaking
OF his and Burton's owing expeditions on

. Trip From Omaha to Sweden

By Segrid Sandwall, Aged IL Years, Bar
narpsgatan No. A. Jonkoping, sweden.
Red Side.
Early Sunday morning, May 9, we started
on our trip for Sweden. 1t was quite cold
and the ride down to the sta
ton was quite a brisk one. We left tile
Union depot at 7:25 a. m. and arrived at
Chicago in the evening. During our stay
there we visited Lincoln park and a good
many other places of interest. Tuesday
afternoon we left for Buffalo, N. Y, aTrlv-
ing there at 1880 in the morning. We went
to a nice large hotel and at IL o'clock we
took the trolley car for the Niagara Falls,
oh, What a beautiful sight. The volume OF
water which flows between the banks Of
the Niagara is so great that every minute
more than 800, 600 tons OF water flow over
the falls, and the force with which this
water descends is estimated to be greater
than that of all the steam engines of Amer
lea. We were very tired that evening and
arose early the next morning in order 70
take the train for New York City. We
stayed I'm that great city almost a week
and while there visited Coney Island aud
rode over Brooklyn bridge. which you all
have heard Of. 1t is over a mile long and
it took over thirteen years before 1t was
completed. or Wednesday morning, May
10, we called a cab to take us down to our
steamer, the Lusitania, which was to take
uB across the Atlantic ocean. The Lusitania
is the largest boat that crosses the ocean.
1 wish / could tell you Of all the comfort
and luxury OF the large ocean liners. II Is
interesting to watch the passengers going
on board. And as we leave the haTbor we
wave our handkerchiefs as a farewell to
our dear United States. From the boat we
could see the beautiful buildings Of New
York. the tallest being the great structure

because we were all more or less sick. but
We arrived safely In Liverpool, England,
Tuesday, May 20. The head agent was
there 10 meet us and took US TO the hotel
where We stayed over night. Our Intention
was to go TO London and see that wonder
ful city OF England, but the sudden illness,
and, later on. death Of my dear grandpa
prevented us from doing so. The 10Th OF
May We left Liverpool for Grimsby, and
from there a boat named Rollo mot at all

across the North sea. We arrived IN Goth

part Of the river Burton had gone around
the bar, but, in spite Of his efforts. Jack
could not manage the boat, for the cur
rent, dividing as II did at this point, took
the small craft in an opposite direction
20 the one Jack was trying TO row it. And.
to add to the difficulty, Billy was rowing
as hard as he could, but rowing the wrong
way.
oh, isn't II lovely to land on an island?'
cried Daisy. Yes" declared Rosie. Lets
go ashore and find some Indian graves or
hidden treasure"
Jack, not wishing II TO be known that he
did not land the boat there purposely, said:
Sure, weH go ashore. The boat is safe,
Half OF 1t is on dry land. Wen just drop
the oars into the bottom and get out"
Soon the four little folk were wandering
about the sandbar. which was fully a
quarter Of a mile in length. No thought
Of accident to White Wings entered their
minds. When they had tired OF walking
about they returned to the spot where they
had left their boat. To their horror the
boat was gone, They could see It drifting
down stream, carried on and on by a huge
bunch Of driftwood. Evidently this same
floating mass Of driftwood had struck
against the boat while passing it and had
dragged 1t from the edge OF the sandbar
To say that Jack was almost frantic
would only be telling the truth. He had
brought out Burt's boat-had caused II 10
be lost, lie had brought out his sister and
friends and through his foolhardiness had
them marooned on an island which was
not in sight OF any h]abitation, Their COM
bined voices would not carry to either the
Bakers farm, half a mile distant up the
river, or "a the shack OF an old boatman
half a mile down the river. What should
they do? The dilemma was serious, and
Daisy and Rosie began TO cry and to wish
they had not left their homes.
Say said Rosie, drying her eyes and
looking up into the white, scared faces OF
her companions, say, why shouldn't We
all ask the fairies to come and look after
US? You know the air Is full Of invisible
fairies, and all one has TO do is to beg one
OF them to lend help in time of trouble. !
have e book full Of fairy stories, and the
fairies always come in times like this"
Yes, let's do that" said Daisy, also dry.

he was proud Of It would be ex-
- pressing 1t mildly. Burton was
k&WfSN a high school boy, and loved
NAA&Ny his outdoor sports during the
summer vacation. SO he had prevailed upon
his father to buy the rowboat for him.
AS the smith family spent their summers
In the country on a farm, through whose
broad acres flowed a deep and splendid
river, Burton had fine opportunity to prac-
tice with the oars Tor hours every day
And with him always went his little 1O-yta -
old brother Jack; and Jack was often al
lowed to use one pair OF oars, thinking 1t
was due to his strength hat the boat sped
through the water so swiftly. And Burton,
humoring his young brother, let him con-
tinue to think so.
One lazy afternoon Burton accompanied
his mother and eldest sister to town, leav-
ing the boat tied up al a little cove a
short distance from the house. Wen have
our row on my return, Bulger," he said
TO Jack, who was disappointed when told
that Burton was to spend the afternoon
from home. He knew there would be no
boating while Burton was absent, for often
when he had asked Burton to allow him "a
handle the oars alone the big brother would
shake his head vigorously, saying: None.
Bulger; you're a fine oarsman, I'll admit,
but you're not yet big enoug to lake
White Wings on the river alone
So Jack sat under a big spreading tree on
the lawn, disconsolate, He would rather
row White Wings down the river than eat
ice cream soda, which Is saying a good
deal. And he knew hat his mother and
sister would keep Burton away all IN,
afternoon, and on his return at night il
would be too late TO go rowing, Gee, that
just my luck! said Jack. But just as Jacl
bewailed his bad luck the gate leading 1,
the big road In front OF the house opened
and into the yard came Billy and Dais,

of Jacks. Billy was a year older thar

The Busy Bees will be glad to hear from two little Busy Bees who are
at present in Sweden and who nave written interesting accounts Of their
trip abroad, and as very few of the little readers have travelled SO extern
svely they will be glad 10 hear about these foreign places.
Some Of our little writers seem to be discouraged and most of the let
terss sent in recently have been from the older writers. If the younger ones
will stop to think, they will remember that the older Busy Bees nave been
writing stories for several years and probably at first they did not receive
prizes Usually the best writer's are those who send in the most stories.
Some Of the Busy Bees get splendid practice by sending in a story each
week, and they are rewarded by receiving the most prizes.
Prizes we're awarded this week to Eunice Bode, Queen Bee, of the Blue

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. We will give one
hundred dollars for any case of deaf
ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be-cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. A baby that is digesting its
food seldom cries and always looks cheer
full; the little child whose stomach is good
romps and plays and never whines; the
growing child learns well at school and is
eager for fun if it's head is clear and its
stomach light. and that means if it has
no constipation.
The best and safest way to cure any
irregularity of the stomach and bowels
in children is by the use of DR.. Caldwell 8
Syrup PepSin. This is a liquid laxative
wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John w.
Dunham, Apple Greek, O., Mrs. II. L.
Cullam, Plainville Ind, and numerous
others can testify who give it to their
children with extraordinary results
A bottle only costs so cents or 81 ac-
cording to the size you want, and even
one 50-cent bottle will do a wonderful
amount of good in a family. 1t can be
given to any member of the family in
constipation, sour stomach, indigestion,
torpid liver dyspepsia, heartburn, sick
headache and similar digestive troubles.
It never gripes or strangles like pills.
tablets, salts and powders, which shouId
not be given to children, women or old
folks.
If you have child or other member OF
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, send your name
and address to the doctor and free trial
bottle will be sent to your home. In this
way you can find out what it will do
without personal expense.
