The local man- agers have been approached on the matter, it is stated, but are not in any way actively interested in the move nor have they given it their support. “For some reason the backers of the proposed bill intend to hold off for several weeks before presenting their measure. The idea of many is to work towards a continental Sunday in Con- necticut, and that is, to have every- thing wide open as in Kurope.” There is a no. immediate prospect that Connecticut will change Sunday from a holy day to a holiday, by giv- ing the loose and irreligious practices of the people the sanction of law. To legalize Sunday amusements would be to cause a greatly increased demand for labor and to deprive men of the one day in seven for rest and devo- Yaeir freedom to mar the day of med- itation and prayer should bear the seal of a Christian state, or the endorse- ment of any Christian community.

Uncle Jed. . Uncle Jed is going to have chage. of this department of The Bulletin, and will try to make it continuously interesting to all the boys and girls In Bulletin homes,by presenting some- thing edifying and entertaining from week to week. Uncle Jed is no myth. He was a real boy with sisters and brothers, and 1 o has not forgotten that he was a If he had not kept the boy with hlm all his life, and played with him more or less, he would not dare to take charge of a department like this For boys and girls, you know, have among them the keenest critics, and they do not hesitate to knock grown- up folks; and the grown-up folks us- ually deserve all the criticism that comes to them. It takes a boy 50 years to make the t round of life; and then he is just ready to begin the second, for at 10 he thinks pa knows it all; at 15 he is have a good deal of sense; at 35 the boy thinks his advice may be worth something; at 40 he thinks it might not be amiss to ask pa to draw a little on his experience for him; at 45 he notices that pa’s advice has proved to be worth something; and at 50 he is of the opinion that his father is as d a father as any boy ever had ll ‘e, they have such crooked thoughts. ‘This is going to be a truly juvenile department, and if the boys or the girls want to write a letter to it or make an inquiry, or tell a story, or to tell how to play games or do things, they will just write Uncle Jed, jus as mother or the larger girls write open for weekly service. o 5 “Nuts;” verbally. 1.

The little folks, have, of course, heard plenty of fairy tales, and must know the name to be found in this puzzle. Part of the puzzle is to tell what it was that was most closely connected with the adventures of the person named. To solve the puzzle, cut out the black figures and place them together on a sheet of white paper. By arrang- ing them correctly you will find the name.

Then, in the vear 1474—just think, that was 18 years before Columbus discovered America—a man named William Caxton came to England from Germany, where he had been living, with a story of a machine that would print books. Everybody thought he was talking of some new magic and wouldn't listen to him, so Caxton, who was at that time at his home in Kent, went up to London and got a room at Westmin- ster, where he set up what he called a “printing press.” Printed Words Quicker. It was very, very different from the it printed words much and better than they could be done by hand. and. when Caxton showed the first stories he had printed on it all the world marveled at the wonderful invention. For 17 years Mr. Caxton kept his printing press going, improving it from time to time, so that he could supply the English people with the| books that were such a novelty and such a delight to them. He used to translate books. from other languages, too, for he wus a very learned man, having studied hard while he was a boy ‘When he, was only 15 years old he had been apprenticed to a London merchant and served him so well that when the merchant died he left Cax- ton all his money, which enabled the 1ad to go to Gemany to study and also to travel around to see the world.
