read the stories one week and l liked
them very much. I am going to tell
you of my trip to my sister on Christ
mas in 1916.
My mother and I were at girls
boarding school at Camden Point,
Mo. At Christmas time we had a va.
cation, so we packed our suitcases and
were off for Lincoln, Neb.
We started about $50 in the morn
ing for St. Joseph, Mo, and there
we took the train for Lincoln.
We got there about $50 in the
evening and my two brothers, SIS
ter and brother-in-law were there
to meet US. ...
During a weeks vacation at my
sisters we had fine visit and the
following week we went to my grand

No One Like Mother.

No One Like Mother.
By Margaret L. Crosby, Aged Is
Years, Sutherland, Neb, Blue
Side.
When | was young they used to tell
That | was just the worst kind;
They tried to teach me how to read
and spell,
But they couldn't make me mind.
One day mother sent me to the store,
But didn't want to go,
Though l knew it was my chore,
And walked along so slow,
Because | didn't want to mind.
Here in the pen was our old goose,
Who always winked and blinked;
| did not know that she was loose
Nor even was she linked.
But now I'm almost getting gray
And no one seems to care for me.
There in the grave my mother lay.
If l could only be
That same sweet boy of mothers,
But, then, she couldn't make me mind.
And now l dream OF mother,
When she tried to make me mind.
There is no one as mother
That was so dear and kind
She tried so very hard
To make me what am,
And now my brain is marred
With mothers kind and gentle
words, you mustn't"
But they couldn't make me mind.

Writes Poems for Page.
By Lloyd Pettygrove, Aged 10 Years,
Oxford, Neb. Red Side.
This is the second time / have
written to the Busy Bee page. saw
my poem in print last time and was
very much pleased. I have here en-
closed another poem I have written
and hope to see it in print:
THE SEASONS.
I (Winter).
Hurrah for winter and old Jack
Frost!
The leaves and the flowers all are
lost;
The ground is covered with ice and
snow
And old North Wind his strength will
show.
II (Spring).
But after that will come the spring;
The bees and birds buzz and sing;
Violets and daisies begin to peep,
Just waking up from winters sleep.
III (Summer).
Now comes the days of frolic and
fun:
We all go swimming, every one,
In pond or river, stream or lake,
And tend the garden with hoe and
rake.
