Nv Trim Over the Atlantic.

BY Nathan Miller Aged - Years li22
South sixteenth Street Omaha, Neb.
As I started out Of a European port
Rotterdam. for New York ! had to go
twelve days by large ocean steamer. For
twelve days | didn't see anything but the
sky, the ship and the big waves Of the
ocean.
As the city Of Rotterdam is few miles
the large ocean steamers to enter.
The first day that 7 was on the ship not
knowing that l was on the canal. It
seemed strange to me that everybody fears
to go across the ocean. The waters were
stll and It was a pleasant evening, SO I
went TO sleep
came here myself when I was 10 years
old, so when ] was sleeping it seemed to
me that was falling into the water and
finally my head began to ache. so l said
to one of my neighbors that slept in the
same room with me:
81 have a very sick headache"
lie said, That's what | was going to
tell YOU"
said, Let us go up on the deck"
We went up on the deck and, seeing the
ship swinging in the big waves, | said,
Where are We now"
From this time ] found out the mis-
take | made the first DAY when l was on
the canal. had to go twelve days before
came to New York on this stormy ocean
spending all Of this time in sickness.
The last day when / awoke / found my.
self near Ellis island

once there were two dogs. Their names
were Bob and spot
one day Bob saw spot lying asleep on
the railroad track and the train was com
ing about two blocks off Spots master
was very fond Of him and was just in
time TO see Bob pull Spot off the track.
Spots master was so pleased with Bob
that he bought him a very pretty collar
with his name engraved on it.
couple OF days after that a man tried
to take Bob's collar, but Spot jumped up
and bit the man.
They were very fast friends after that

Starfish and Grabs.

BY Helen Verrll. Queen Bee, Aged "A
Years. The Strehlow. No. 10. Omaha.
Neb. Blue side.
Last summer I went cast and spent the
summer on an island, and two very in
teresting things were the starfshes and
baby crabs.
Every morning | used to get up early and
go out when the tide was low and pick
up starfish. ! often got as many as
twenty-five or thirty in one morning. The
funny thing about them is they have five
arms just like star, and on the end OF
each arm is an eye, so they have five
eyes There are two rows OF legs or feel
ers, I'm not sure which, on each arm
They cannot walk very fast and they very
rarely try it, but cling to the rocks, where
the waves left them, and wait for the
tide to come in and get them.
They way to tell the different kinds Of
starfish is by a little colored spot in the
middle of what looks like their back. The
spot Is their stomach and the most com
mon kind have an orange stomach and
rare kinds have other tolored stomachs. 7
put a lot m the sun and dried them and
brought them home they are very pretty.
They are all sizes.
The baby crabs l found under large
stones where there was plenty OF mud,
They were Just as cute as they could be,
and almost every color, red, orange, yellow
pink, brown and green. One tried to bite
me once and II felt Just like a SHARP
needle. OF course after watching them
awhile | let them go.
hope II any OF the Busy Bees go TO the
seashore this summer they will watch tn,

grew fond OF Flossy, and showed in various
WAYS that he recognized her voice. When
ever she ran 10 his lot-a big space fenced
about in the bright sunlight-he would
come slowly toward her looking at the
little golden haired girl as foudly as an
elephant could look,
OF course, Flossy really never went in

beside the fence and give the old elephant
