Bees Are Interesting It takeB a Tory busy pea to write about the busy bee. The bee la an Insect' It has six legs. Bees are divided into three classes the workers, the queen, and the drones. The workers gather the nectar and pollen which they put in the baskets on their hind legs. The

workers mix the pollen and nec

tar, and this is called bee bread. They eat some of the nectar and in a short time a wax forms on the outside of their body. This they

take off and put into their mouths

and work it and make it into cells,

The queen is the mother of all the bees. She lays the -eggs and never makes a mistake in putting

the eggs In their proper cells, but

puts the queen eggs in the queen cell and the drome eggs in the

dromo cells and the worker's eggs in the worker's cells. In three days after the eggs are laid they are hatched. The workers play as

nurses and take care and feed the

little ones.

; Soon the young bees settle down

and in twenty-one days after the eggs are ' hatched they are full

grown bees.. '- ... . . The drones, are the lasy bees,

They do not work because they

have no tools. . '

The bee is a very wise little crea

ture, and can follow directions very well. , The bee teaches us a good

lesson how , we should . always be

busy too' and not waste the preci

ous Ume that Cod gives us. ,.The

bee Is a very expensive little crea

ture. , Onco my grandfather bought

a queen bee from the Caroline Is lands that was worth three dollars

THE OLD KING " Once upon a time' there was a king with a large kingdom. But he wanted a son and daughter. So he went to an old witch and asked how he could get a son and daughter. The witch " said he

could have his wish .if he . woaldJ

sleep in a-cave for one year. He said he would and he gave her sixteen bags . of gold. Next day he went to the cave and went to sleep. About midnight he woke up and saw a ghost that said it he -let the servants stay he, would kill them. . So next day the king sent them home. Some did not want to go but the king said if he wanted to live" he had better go home. ..Then he left hungry and was going out of the. cave but somebody said if be did he, would never have a boy. So he went to sleep. That night he had a dream and he was only about 25 years old and he was

In a strange land-and wassitting beside a fire and a man came out with redskin,' he came in a canoe
