The STORY Of a Princes.

Many. many years ago, in a country
called Drez, there lived p lovely princess
She had all she could wish and yet she
was unhappy. When she went riding with
her father and saw the other children
playing about she Ionged 20 get down and
play 20 her hearts content In the dirt,
One. day when her birthday was near
her father called her TO him and lifting
her upon his knee said. my darling, !
am going away for few days and I
wish to know what you want for your
birthday"
The little princess thought n few minutes
and then said; "Father, all I ask is that
I may be free to do as | wish on my
birthday"
The wish was granted and the princess
ran off very happy indeed.
On the morning OF her birthday she
stole silently through the palace and
slipping past guard entered the street
oh, how happy she was, playing In the
dirt and water.
think this story should be an example
for we folks who are wishing we had
more than we already have, and should
be thankful that we are free TO do as
we wish and are not tied 10 thrones.

see-saw and swinging rings.
My cousin, Marion Jussen, from the
lsthmus of Panama, and l play nearly
every day in our gymnasium, and it's
Just as much fun in the winter as in
the summer, for We find some new
stunt nearly every day.
II the Busy Bees want to get good
and strong, my advice Is to play out
of-doors all you can.
have a friend who often comes to
see me, and we three have the best Of
times; either playing outdoors, or when
the weather is bad indoors dressing up
to represent the different natlonalities
and acting out little plays. l have a
chest full OF all sorts of things to dress
up with, for that is one of my favorite
games.
AS soon as l can get some good pic
lures OF my gymnasium / will send you
some.
We have a nine-year-old cottonwood
tree In the yard, and as soon as l learn
how to climb . kuotted rope I'm going
TO get up in that tree and have some fun,
My see-saw Is 30 slippery that 1 can
slide on 1t, and l have made a regular
SHOOT the chutes" out OF II.
1 hope you will all have good time
this winter coasting and skating. But
whatever you do. dear Busy Bees play
out-of-doors all you can, for IT'S much
better than staying indoors. Your

Some men. like some razors, are too

All the crumbs of comfort In the world

Many man actually thinks he deserves

The worst thing about wasting time Is
that It doesn't always belong TO us.
The modern idea OF a piker seems 20

Some men are 20 unaOciable that they
would actually rather play solitaire than
