Cotton.

BY Minnie Nunemaun, Aged II Years,
West Point Neb. Red Side.
The cotton plant is a shrub which grows
in warm countries. Tho shrubs are
planted in rows like corn. and grow
from four to seven feet high.
The plant begins to flower in June.
When the pretty petals drop off, small
green pods or bolls remain. The bolls
grow until they are nearly as large as
hens eggs. The hot sun makes them
hard and brown.
Around the seeds OF the plant there IL
a soft woolly down, which we call cotton.
As soon as the cotton seeds are ripe the
brown bolls split. and the white cotton
bursts out
What a pretty sight a cotton field Is
when the cotton is ready for picking.
Each plant looks as II It were covered
with little snow balls. Men and women
are busy picking the white cotton. and
carrying 1t away in baskets.
The cotton Is then taken to a mill and
put into a machine which picks out the
seed. DO you know what this machine
Is called? II Is called cotton gin.
After the seeds are taken out. the cot
ton is put in large bales, ready TO be
sent away to tho great cotton mills.
There II is spun and woven into cloth.
The many pretty kinds OF calico you SEQ
are made from cotton cloth printed in
different colors.
There Is something else made from
cotton besides cloth. Some paper used
by printers Is made from cotton rags.
The old cotton clothes which we givo to
the ragman are used for this purpose.

This Little Girl is Real Business Woman

II there is a more contonted and use
full and enterprising girl in Nebraska than
Pauline Burkett OF Herman. Neb., people
haven't heard about her.
My. my. my. what little worker she Is.
And she has money I'm the bank and a
nice little bank book. And she's in busl-
ness for herself-raising chickens and SELL
ing them. And she puts Advertisements
in the papers for people to buy her
shickens. You can just believe Pauline
knows which are the best papers to adver-
disc in to get results. Not long ago she
put her advertisement in The Twentieth
Century Farmer and she sold 1853 chickens
at 81 each. She has fino pure-bred White
Leghorn chickens and she has a lot of
them.

Pauline was one OF the leading con-
testants in the recent Bee bicycle con-
test. She had over 5000 votes to her
credit. She didn't win the bicycle, but
that was largely because she tried to do
all the vote-getting herself. She didn't
get enough other people TO help her. Why,
during those awfulIy snowy days she was
out in the country, ploughing through
snow drifts and getting subscriptions for
The Bee.

Probably Pauline win be a millionaire
some day and win have a grand big home
In New YORK and one in Paris and her
private yacht And then you'll read about
her In the society columns like this:
Miss Pauline Burkett. the million
airess, entertained at her magnificent
home on Fifth avenue, New York city,
yesterday afternoon. Miss Burkett was
dressed in lovely imported gown trim
med in gold lace aud diamonds and pearls
Tho affair was in honor OF his majesty
the King OF England and her majesty tho
queen OF England and his royal higlmess
the prince of Wales, who, are visiting in
this country.
Among those present in addition 20
their majesties and his royal highness
were the following: The president Of the
United states and his wife. the ambassa-
dor from England and his wife, United
states Senators Smith. Jones, Higgins
Thomas, Hunter, Dowd and Griswold and
their wives and large number of less
important persons like governors and
congressman, with lots OF nilhonaires"
Well. that would look pretty nice in the
paper, wouldn't Il? Pauline wouldn't like
that sort Of thing probably. In the first
place she says she would rather live
where she does live than any other place
in the world. And she would rather have
the friends she does have than senators
and mIiliopaires. yes even than kings and
queens and royal highnesses.
In other words. Pauline Is contented.
And do you know why she H. contonted,
Johnnie and susle7
She is contented because she has work
TO do and she IL doing It. She isn't com
planning because someone else in the
world has things easier than she has,
Instead Of that she Is happy because she
has so many things TO be thankful for
