A Trip to Lincoln Park.

.
Nv Elizabeth Ransom, 1870 Lafayette Ave-,
Omaha, Neb. Blue Side.
In the morning when we got up we
were expecting to go to Lincoln park ZOO,
But as it looked cloudy we waited until
about 8 o'clock. Then my aunt packed
a lunch and we got on the car and rode
about an hour for 1t was five minutes
of ten when we got Off
We went into the museum and saw the
mammoth bones, stuffed deer and stuffed
birds and many other things that would
be interesting to a nature student.
We then went to the zoo and saw the
birds and animals. There were white
sparrows from Java, canaries from the
Canary Islands. and a bird Of paradise
and many others. All together there
were 105.
AS It was getting near lunch time we
went down on the rocks and ate our
lunch and drank the lake water.
After resting awhile and taking few
pictures we went to the babies sani-
tarium and saw the POOR, sick babies,
but you are not allowed inside so you
have TO stand outside and look in.
From there we went to the conservatory
and saw all Of the foreign plants and
flowers. 1t was just like jungle.
We then went down TO Lake Michigan
and took the Ann Marie "a boaD home
AS we drew near 10 Chicago we saw a
United States warship. We were going
70 take a picture Of IT, but we had Just
used up our last film.
When we got off the boat we saw the
military drill and then We took the ele-
waited car home, having spent a very
happy day.

SOME NEEDS OF A WIFE
Change of scene and
society.

A certain woman was restless She
was worn out. but It was not with physI-
cal work. Her husband was wiser, per
haps, than most husbands. lie did not
send her TO the top of mountain where
she was the only inhabitant. He sent
her TO a resort where there were many
new people. with new personalities and
new topics Of interest. She needed con-
tact with the world more than she
needed a cool climate, Frequently, says
Golfers Weekly. men. who brush ell
bows with a dozen persons each day

wives. SOMETHING'S when a man needs

needed by his wife. Frequently even II

lacks the society OF men. Perhaps her

Omaha daily bee., 1911-10-01

There are quite a few things children
can do in the country.
AS there is no fruit out here, we use
wild fruit. 1 was up at the White river
twice. The first time all of us went ex-
cept two. We went up there to get some
buffalo berries. 1t is about fifteen miles
We started at $3.50 and got up there at
1920. We took our dinner with us.
When we got up there we unhitched, fed
the horses and started to pick berries
We soon found some berries. After we
picked some berries we found some wild
grapes, then we started to pick them in
stead. We picked a tub full and then we
ate dinner.
After dinner we picked berries. They
are a little larger than a currant. They
are red and yellow. They grow on high
bushes, the bushes are real thorny We
picked till about shutdown then we went
and saw the river
The water looks like milk It was real
low so We drove across it On the other
side OF the river it is called Lyman
county and there is a postoffice and a
store, 1t is called Cawhite.
We went up to the store and got some
water. Then we ate supper under the
trees. 1t is lovely country on the other
side OF the river. Then we went home
The last time We went We just got wild
grapes; we did not try TO cross it then
for the river was too high. We had
twelve inches OF rain in two weeks. The
creeks were like river. Altogether we
got two tubs and two sacks full OF grapes
and about six gallons of berries.
Before the girls went back we were
invited away. That evening after supper
We made some taffy. We each had a
plate. My sister let hers drop in a tub
Of water. We pulled, pulled and pulled
it aud It took US long time to pull It,
We had a good time eating it up.
One day my sisters and were taking
the horses TO water. My oldest sister
took our young horse, Barney. When
we got to the creek the horse wanted to
go in the creek. She thought he was
going to swim through the creek and got
scarced and jumped in the water The
water was so high IT came over her head
She had all she could do to get out.

food OF the poorer classes, Is In most
precarious condition. The Prussian gov
eminent has lust issued It's first estimate
OF the probable yield OK this crop, indi-
eating total OF 22567,OOO tons, which
compares with 80 10000 tons actually

already advanced 90 to 100 per cent In
various parts OF the country. other veg

level.
The clover and lucerne crops were so
damaged by tho drouth that a second

parts OF tho country, while even the
first mowings were generally very IN
