The sofl 1s not | very rich and we never thought any- | thing would grow there. Last year I planted a small flower gar- den. Around the sides 1 put candytuft and baby’s breath, and in the center I put asters, zinneas, daisies and popples. Each day, about sundown, I watered these flowers. I took a small rake and dug the ground loose about the roots, and by watching the flowers carefully T had a very pretty bed during the rest of the summer. T am planning to have another this vear. 1 got my seeds last year through the school and am getting them the same way this year. I would like to hear from any of the Busy Bees (Second Prize.)

E, gSheldon, from week to week.) Blackbird (Waghinga-sah-ba.) The first Nebraska Indian whose name we know is Blackbird. He wag head jchief of the Omaha tribe and lived more {than 100 years ago 4n the Omahs coun- [try, which then extended on both sides |ot the Missouri river from Bow river in Cedar county to Papillion creek in Sarpy | county. | Blackbird died about the year 1800, be- !fore there were any white settlements in | Nebraska. He left behind him a fame s0 fierce and cruel among the Indians that it endures to this day. During Blackbird's life Nebraska belonged to | France and Spain, and French and Span- ish traders came up the river to deal with the Indians for furs, Blackbird was one of the first Indian chiefs on the Mis- souri to do business with the white trad- ers. He was very shrewd in his dealing. | When a trader came to his village he {had him bring all his goods into the chief's lodge and spread them out. Black- bird then selected the things he wished— | blankets, tobacco, whisky, powder, bul- lets, beads and red paint—and laid them to one side, not offering any pay for them. Then, calling his herald, he or- dered him to climb to thé top of the lodge and summon all the tribe to bring in thelr furs and trade with the white man. In & few minutes the lodge would be crowded with Indians bearing beaver, butfglo, otter and other skins. No one was allowed to dispute the prices fixed by the white trader, who was careful o | put them high enough to pay five tin.es |over for all the goods taken by the l!‘hh*' | Blackbird was also & great warrior. When a boy he was captured by the Sioux, but escaped and fought them afterward until they feared his name He led his warriors against the Paw- |nees and burned one of their large |towns. He took scalps from the Otoes and from the Kanzas tribes. To his |abllity as a fighter he added the mys- terfous art of “making medicine” which would overcome his enemies. Once when tollowing the trail of a hostile war party across the prairies he fired his rifle often into the hoofprints of their horses, tell- ing his band it would cripple tpem so that they would be overtaken. He did overtake and kiil them all, and his tribe looked upon the fact as proof of the | wondertul effect of his “medicine." | The Ponca Indians lived at the mouth of the Niobrara river, in what s now Boyd and Knox counties, and were neighbors of the Omahas The two | tribes were related and spoke languages Stories of Nebraska History SHELDOW grade of the Glitner public school. 1 work in a store downtown on Saturdays and after school, and get $1.35 a week greatly outnumbered the Poncas and were about to kill them all. The Poncas sent a herald carrying a peace pipe. Blackbird shot him down. Another her- ald was treated In the same way. Then the head chief of the Poncas sent his daughter, a young girl, in her finest In- dlan suite of white buckskin, with the peace pipe. Blackbird relented, took the pipe from the girl's hand, smoked it, and there was peace batween the tribe: The Ponca malden became the favorite wife of Blackbird. ence over him, but in one of his violent fits of anger he drew a knife and struck her dead. When he knew what he had done his rage ended in violent grief. He covered his head with a buffalo robe and sat down by the dead body, refusing to eat or sicep. He answered no one. The tribe feared that he would starve to death, One of them brought a child and, laying it on the ground, put Blac bird's foot hpon its neck. This touched the chief's heart. He threw off his buf- falo robe, forgot his deep sorrow and re- sumed his duties, Blackbird, the great chief, was finally stricken. His friends gathered about his dying bed to hear his last word. He ordered them to bury him on the top of the great hill which rose saveral hun- dred feet above the Missouri and from which one could see up and down the river for thirty miles. Here the Indians watched for the coming of the white traders, and the latter as they tolled against the current saw its summit with joy, for they knew great aprings of cold water gushed from the sandstone rock at the foot of the hill and there were rest and food and friendship for the white man in the lodges of the Omaha village. On the top of this hill Black bird desired to be buried, seated on his favorite horse, so that his spirit might overlook first see the Loats of the white men as they came up the river The dying chief's command was car: ried out.
