UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE AWAKES. In one respect little birds resemble little children. They have big appe- tites. Song birds. you know, begin to appear in March and increase in num- bers until June, when they commence to grow fewer until about this time of year, when the season’s last fledg- lings are on the wing. These big ap- petites for insects make the birds very useful to gardeners and farmers, but we should never have known anything about it had not men with alert minds and sharp eves watched them and learned of the facts. The thrushes and warblers and vireos and robiny and wrens and sparrows and phoe- bes and grosbeaks keep down the in- sects which would become pests but for the big appetites of the little birds in the mest, and young birds are most numerous when the insects are most numerous, so they do not lack food. The birds make long days and a pair of grosbeaks watched for 12 hours never brought less than two young caterpillars to their nest on any re- turn they made. The chickadees pick up plant lice and spiders and a pair brought their mouths full six times in 13 minutes. Watched wrens have been seen to bring 111 insects and spiders to their young in an hour and three-quarters. ~All the birds gather- ing insects for their young destroy millions every day, which if they lived would produce billions and vegetation would be eaten up by them. This is why states make laws to protect use- ful birds and why every ome should be kind to them. Without the help of God's creatures man would not be able to live on the earth. Keep your eyes open and your minds alert. LETTERS OF ACKNOWLEDG- MENT. Bernice Green of Willimantic: I thank vou very much for the nice book I received from vou. 1 think a book is a very nice prize.

Once upon a time there lived a gov- ernor by the n¥me of Gessler. He was like Iron-sides. To show his pow- er he put his cap upon & pole and sal “Every passerby must bow.” One day Wilhelm Tell and his son Walter came down from their moun- tain_home to the village of Altdorf. Ho went by the cap and did not sa- lute it. He was arrested. Just then Gessler came by and sald: “So you are the best marksman in the land? Walter answered and said: “Yes, sir, my father can shoot an Aappl from a tree a hundred paces aw: Gessler sald: “Oh! Hol Your fa- ther can shoot an apple from your head elghty paces away?” ‘I am not afraid of my arrow.” “Bind him to the tree yonder,” said Gessler. “Bhoot, father's father dear, 1 am not afraid!” Tell bent his bow and shot. It hit the apple. The apple and arrow fell to_the ground, The enraged Gessler said: “Tell, you took another didn't you?” “Yes, sir,” said Tell.. “If the other arrow had harmed by son, it would have found its way to vour heart.

Febrnary 26th was Carnival Day here. In the morning all the school children, six hundred in number, marched from the schoolhouse down on Broaway and up to the band stand, where they all sang “America.” Then they all went home for the morning. In the afternoon I and two other girls, went down to the dock and went for a sail In a boat called the “Lillie.” A REGULAR MASQUERADE It was just before the return of the family; the boards were taken down from the front door and windows, shutters and doors were opened, and the maids were dusters and cloths. Windows wer polished until they flashed back in the sunlight, and the brass door- knobs were rubbed to the color of goid. othing will look natural till the covers are oft the furniture” said Bridget st the close of g hard day’ work. “You can’t’tell which is which, the way they're wrapped up, but things look clean anyhow,” and shutting the parlor roor she went downstatirs. Through the silent rooms swept a light wind, stirring the summer cur- tains at the windows. “That's the first breath of air I've had In weeks” said a muffled voice from the corner. It came from a bul- ky figure, clad in white. “I must say 1 wish this masquerade were at an end; why a really pretty piece of furniture should be ruffled up beyond recognition I can't see. j‘ you could see, you'd sce other pedple just in your plight,” said the chandeller, which was also wrapped in white up to the eyes. “Of course, any one would know me from my po- sition, but 1 don't know you from Adam's house cat.” 5 “Who was Adam’s house cat?” asked a fat figure done uu in striped calico. An armchair creaked with amuse- ment behind its striped domino. The sofas and chairs all wore dominoes and could be easily distinguished, but all the other furniture was shronded in mystery. “Why do you laugh?’ asked the chandelier, a iittle toploftically. “I was thinking of Adam's house cat. He had no house, you know, and the cat must have been quite a Kit- ten in Adam'’s time.” The chandslier shook with merri. ment. “Quite true; I forgot. I sa do you Know half’ the people here? ‘We are ol residents and can talk about strangers, 1 suppose.

They never could dis- guise themselves.” “They certainly look well” said the chandelier, approvingly. “A tailormade costume always adds to a person’s ap- pearance. “You can’t tell anything about ap- pearances in these costumes,” called out a nobby lpoking object at the end of the room. “You wouldn’t think, for instance, that I am a marble statu- f the most beautiful workman- T don’t believe you, the sofas incredulously. “Walt and see. Tomorrow we un- mask, and I'm sure there will be some surprises,” said another muffled figure. “T've been studying my neighbors all the summer and I know I've made some funny mistakes.” ‘Sometimes one's feet betray one,” said the chandeller. “I flatter my- ?elf I can make a good guess at the cet.” said one of ‘Some of us are made without feet; what guide have you then?” asiced the sofa. “In the case of a table—legs,” said the chandelier. “There was once a little boy,” he continued, “who asked why table legs didn't have knees. Did you ever hear of such a ridiculous Question?” But no one seemed to appreciate the humor, and the chandlier looked down upon the company in disgust. “Good night,” he sald shortly, and after that there was silence in the parlor. Early next morning the maids were at work uncovering the furniture. There were little groans and squeaks and creaks of astonishment and recognition as familiar objects greeted one another, y! but those things do need ofl- ing.” said Bridget. “It's the weathor that gets into them that makes them do like that." At these words the chandliar shook with laughter—he knew better. He was as tall as the mountaind and the earth trembled when he walked. He lived in a cave down by the sea, and near this cave the waves beat all day and night. Ho was very selfish and stole all the fishermen’s nets. The fishermen suffered a great loss by such a glant. One day Jack said: “T ‘am going fishing.” 'In a little while he pulled in a large salmon. He threw out his line again and soon had a bite, and all at once he was pulled into the water and was pulled out to sea. The people were so glad that they had a great reception. If he did not drown I hope he will be a better glant, JEFFERY COIT, Age 14. Norwich, The Death of Master Tommy Rook. One day a pair of rooks chose for their home the hollow of a tree.

ADELE DEMUTH, Age 12, Baltic The Horse Rang the Bell. Once upon & time & king who wisheq Justice to be done to all his people had a bell put up, so that anyone who was injured by another might ring Whenever it was rung the king ¢ ed together a council of the wi to decide what should be done. From long use, the lower end of the rope Was WOrn away, and a piece of wild grape vine was fastened on to it to make it long enough. So it happened that me knight had a noble horse, which had served him many vears, but Having grown old and useless had meanly and cruelly turned him out on the common to take care of himself. Driven by hunger the horse began to bite the vine. The bell rang loud and clear, the wise men came, and finiding the horse belonged to the knight called the coun- cil and decided to make the knight feed and keep him through his old age. 3 The horse was put in a fine stall and fed good stuff such s he never had in his life. The council made the| knight pay a heavy fine. CECIL E,” RAND, Age 12. South Windham. LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. She Ran Away From Every One.
