A gettler saw him and told the Indian if he moved nearer he would shoot him. The Indian came nearer and the settler shot at him. By luck it missed him. He knew that the man would have to reload and ran toward him, When he got near enough the Indian made signs to him for something to eat. The man understood him and brought out some feod and water, The Indian ate, Then he told his story. His tribe had chased him into the woods. While he was telling the lWrK he saw two Indlans coming to catcl him. He ran away into the woods and never was seen again by the Indlans, ‘but came back to the settler. Then he went back into the woods and the set- tler never saw him agein. HARRY BAMFORD, Age 12. Plainfield, An Invalid’s Supper. “I can't eat any more of this nasty stuffl” sald Phoebe to her nurse. Phoebe had been 11l with the measles and while in bed had been given oranges and jelly and all kinds of nice things, and when she got well again she did not at all like eating her usual supper of bread and milk. “Don’t be naughty, Miss Phoebe,” re- plied Nurse. “but finish -your supper Wwithout any more nonsense “I can't, and I won't!" cried Phoebe, rubbing her eves to make the tears <come. “Here's the Master coming upstairs!” cried Nurse warningly. “I wonder what he'll say when he sees such an ugly face!” ‘The door opened and in came Father with a brown paper parcel in his hand.

They ha¢ nothing to do 80 they began to quarrel. “I should like to know what you are 0d for without a head,” sald the pin. “What is the use-of an eye if there is always something in it?" ‘I ‘can do more work than you,” said the needle. ‘Yes; but you will not live long” said the pin. “Why not?” asked the needle. “Because you have always & stitch our side,” sald the pin. “You are a crooked creaturs the needle, “And you can’t bend without break- your back,” said the pin. “I'll pull your head off if you insult me agaln,” said the needle. “T'll_put your eye out if you teuch me. Remember, your life hangs by a single thread,” sald the pin. Soon a little girl came In and began to sew. While she was sewing, the needle broke off at the eye. Then she tled the thread around the pin. Trying to sew, she soon pulled its head off. She then threw it away in the dirt with the needle. “Well, here we are” said the needle. Then both said: “It did us no good. This is what becomes of all idle, quarrelsome people.” ALFREDA E. BROSOFSKE, Age 12. Norwich, In The Bundle of Rods. A man had seven sons who were always quarreling. They left their studies and work to quarrel. Some bad men were looking forward to the death of their father to cheat the sons out of their property by making them quarrel about it. The good old man one day called his sons around him. He laid before them seven sticks which were bound to- gether, and said: “I will reward the ome who can break this bundle.” Each one tried but could not break 1t, After a long but vain trial they sald it could not be dome. “And yet nothing is easier,” said the father. He then broke the bundle, one one, with perfect ease, “Ah!" the said it will be with you, my souns, Bo-long as you are united you will presper, and no one can injure you; but if the bend of union be broken, it will happen to you as it did to the sticks.” ROSE MURPHY, Age 9.

In a man- sion at one of the windows was a girl with her face pressed hard against the pane. The rain had spoiled their pleasure, so you know why she looked €0 desolate. In the room was the nurse, with the baby; and the other three children were cuddled at her feet. There were five chiliren—Richard, Myrtle, John, Francis and James, the baby. The oldest girl said “Q dear! I wish I could think of some games. Then nurse said to her: “No games to play? Couldn’t you play you we actors and actresses?” “Oh, ves; we could do that! We'll ask mother if we can have some of the clothes in the garret.” Away they went and soon appeared carrying colthes. They were soon a rayed in them and their first play was “Beauty and the Beast,” and they played other games. Soon the tea bell rang, and they said to one another that they would know what to play on another rainy day MARY SHUGRUE, Age 11. Norwich. My First Hunting Trip.
