weeping water, NeO.
Dear Busy Bees: Once I had a
dog named Jack. He was a Level
len setter and he used to stay in the
house most of the time when he
was puppy, because there was dis
temper in the neighborhood and
we were afraid he would catch it.
One day my mother made a nice
lemon pie and set it on the pantry
shelf. We were all sitting in the
front room that evening and there
was a swinging door between the
kitchen and the next room. Every
little while Jack would jump up and
g. out into the kitchen and we
thought he was getting drink, as
we kept pan of water for him out
there. | went once or twice to see
what he was going for, but he
would always go and take drink
every time I watched him. Finally
l waited until lie had gone out there
and then went quietly on tiptoe to
watch him. When I pushed the
swinging door open there he stood
on his hind legs at the pantry shelf,
taking a big lick of the lemon pie.
He only took about four ticks and
then turned to come in again, as
he seemed to know we would get
suspicious if he stayed away too
long. When he saw me watching
him he looked just as ashamed as a
little boy that had been caught
stealing jam, and he began to lick
my hand and wag his tail as if he
were begging me not to whip him
and I didn't.

often pour water over him and wash
him clean, Then wet his name
and tail and braid them into tight
little braids and when the hair is
dry it is, all curly. He knows when
he is all washed and curled up and
he is very proud. When l ride him
down town he Frances along and acts
like a young colt. My pony is very
fond of me and doesn't like to have
me pet other horses. Once when l
was tying Prince To telephone pole
where another horse was tied, the
other horse looked as if he wanted
to be petted, ana so | stroked his
nose, and Prince just reached out
and bit the poor horse until he
squeaied.

Dick Squirrel.
By Clell F. Cottrell, Aged IA Years.
Clearwater, Neb.
It happened that there was but one
tree left standing after the cyclone
had passed. Of this tree l took par
ticular notice. 1t was a willow.
about Is feet high and about IA
inches in diameter.
About half way up there was
hole. I was going to investigate,
so I climbed up to the hole and
looked in. ] saw four young horned
owls. | took them out, one by one,
and dropped them carefully on the
grass at the base of the tree.
/ looked again and saw, to my
surprise and joy, that there was
what / had always wanted, a SPUR
rel. 1t was quite young, but ! took
it home and made a cage for it. T
named it Dick.
l took good care of it and It grew
to be very tame. 1t would play with
my hand and sometimes nip my fin
gers, but not very hard. l would
give him walnuts and watch him
crack them. Sometimes he would
hide them under a paper in a box,
or in anything he could find suitable
for his purpose.
One morning I went TO Dicks
cage to get him. I opened the cage
door and called, but no Dick SPUR
rel came to my call this time.
I could not find how he got out
Of his cage. I have seen him sew
eral times near my home since then.
He stays in the trees near here q
great deal.
I am sending with my story
small photo of Dick. My brother
is holding him.
This is a true story and wish
to see it in print.

This particular phase of the story of the Franco
Prussan war is not easily got at. Even compre-

into detail of the final peace negotiations but hurry

CELEBRITY with which Il was passed through the Ger

Importance 1t was, indeed, Jules Favre, who had
undertaken to surrender Paris upon the best terms
he could get.
His intention when he went to meet Bismarck at
Versailles was just that-to surrender Paris, just
as any other fortress might be surrendered, and
to let the conquering army march in. Perhaps
Favre could get terms whereby the garrison could
march out with the honors Of war. Perhaps
not.
