Tho Omaha Indians and the white men
were always at peace. but there was war
between the Sioux and the OmRhas
In the summer OF 1855 the Omaha In
dams left their village by the big river
to 20 out west to hunt buffalo. They
went alonE the Elkhorn river for two or
three days and then crossed the prairie
toward the Platte. They were In what e.

Omaha Indians went out TO fight tho
Sioux Logan had fine, new double

proud. II would shoot a great deal far
Their than any other gun in the Omaha
tribe. The Sioux had not seen a rife
that shot twice without loading and 50
were much surprised when they found
what Logan's gun would do. Perhaps
this Is what cost Logan his life. He rode
boldly out toward the Sioux and when
they charged him he did not retreat, but
kept on shooting. Five or six OF them
mounted on their ponies and made a rush
at him. He killed three. but the others

Then there was great sorrow in the
camp OF the OmahaA. They gave up
their buffalo hunt and sewed the body
of Logan In an elk skin and brought It
on two ponies all the way back 10 the
Missouri river. On the top Of little hill
between Omaha and Bellows, from which

BY Darline swanson. Aged Years, For

Once upon a time there was a story
named Putting the Chickens to Bed"
One would naturally suppose that
chickens would know when to go TO bed,
but what is a chicken to do II It is sud
denly taken from the state of Washing
ton TO Alaska, where the nights are only
one or two hours long. 1t would be 10
or II o'clock. and II he arises at sunrise
it would be or z o'clock. The result is
he would DO liable to die from lack of
sleep.
A friend of mine had some chickens
in her Alaska home, and had some others
shipped from Seattle. The first evening
the Seattle chickens kept roaming around
by the light of the sun until about 10
O'Clock and did this for two or three
evenings Finally their owner had to
put them in their coop and shut the door
at very much earlier hour. until they
had accustomed themselves 70 the long
days. Later they seemed TO appreciate
the unusually long, bright evenings, but
retired with the other chickens at a rea-
sonable hour.

Well, Busy Bees. have read so many
stories about the birds. I will tell you
one myself.
Ono day the people next door were
washing their car and the little boy and
were looking at the car and fooling In
the water when we heard something fall
from tho tree. So we went on the other
side Of the car to see what 1t was. There
We saw a little baby robin. We picked
it upand looked at IT, Its eye had been
picked. We looked up at the nest just in
time 20 see q sparrow throw another
bird out. Oh. how sorry we were to see
this done. but could not help IT, When
the other bird fell. II was still alive so
we got a lot of nice soft cotton and a
wooden rag and were going to try and
save it's life. II lived one day and then
died. Then We buried them both. We
got some nicely shaped rocks for tomb
stones and put flowers on their graves.

Busy Bee Rhymes.

Twas on a cold night,
A sailor left his boat in fright;
And quickly Fastening to the shore,
No sooner got there than 1t started &c
pour.
lie was just in time,
To hear the clock strike nine;
He saw the chicks whom a woman fed,
And quickly ran under the neighboring
shed.
II gave him much pain
To think that he was in the rain.
But he was glad 10 think
Quicker than you could blink.
That he had a place OF safety to go
But soon the rain was over
And the rabbit jumped In the clover;
And the sailor came out
From his hiding place.
He soon reached home,
Like the Venetian from Rome;
His children crowded aroun0 him
And started to sing
We're glad that papa's come home,
But still he is not soaked
Like the man from Rome,
Who reached the dome"

river near the omaha Indian village.
lie hunted and traded many years. lie
visited the Omaha Indians very often,
and after time he took an Omaha Girl
for his wife. They lived for many years
moro in tho los cabin near the river
bank. They had four children. who grew
up tall and strong and spoke two Ian
guages-onc the indian language, which
their mother knew. and the other the
French language. for their father was
Frenchman, They played all the sum
mer long under the shade OF the great
trees which grew on the bank OF the big
river. Sometimes they went with their
mothers Indian people away across the
prairies TO hunt buffalo. Such sport a.
they had on these hunts! In the fall
they always came back To their home In
the log cabin by the big river.
ono of the boys was named Logan by

and handsome boy. He learned TO speak
English besides French and Omaha.
When one OF the old chiefs died, Logan.
