The Household Fairy. ¥ave you heard of the household fairy sweet, Who keeps the home so bright and neat? Who enters the girts, And finds lost marbles or smooths out curls? TWho mends the rent in a girlle's frock, Or darns the hole in a tomboy’s sock? 1f you don’t believe it is true, I say You may search and find her this very day In your home. rooms of boys and You must not look for a maidenefair, With starry eves and golden hair; Her hair may be threaded with silver gray, But one glance of her eyes drives care away, And the touch of her hand is =0 soft and light When it smooths out a place for your head at night. ou know of some one just like this, household fairy you cannot miss— It's Mother. —Alice B.

When I mean me than I say “I" Then why do you say “you?” And if T'm “L” then tell me please, How you can be “L” too? If “T” am “you,” and “we” are “they,” Then who is which or what? If “mine” means “vours” and “theirs” is “ours,” Then whose is all the lot? It is a dreadful puzzle! How shocking it will be, If “yours” does not belong to “you,” Nor “mine” belong to “me!” JED'S TALK TO WIDE- AWAKES. In wonder whether you have decided to be “Eyes” or “No Eyes” in life? It pays to be “Eyes,” but you can get slong and be “No Eves” Perhaps you have never yet awaken- ed to the truth that “there are people who having eyes see not and having ears hear not.” Do mot think this means those who are born blind or deaf, for it does not. It means that those who have their sight increased by knowledge have sharp eyes, while those who have the UNCLE How to Make Better Cough Syrup than You Can Buy A Family Supply, Saving $2 and A full pint of cough syrup—as much o aliE Ty foc @ o easily :g made at home.

Wayne, Ind. , THE WIDE AWAKE - Boys and Girls Department CIRCLE sight dulled by ignorance might just as well have no eyes. The brain is in business with the eyes, and if it is recognized as a part- ner it will constantly aid the eyes in seeing morg and more, while it gets more and more knowledge. The earth and the rocks and the plants and the insects and all things created talk to “Eyes,” but they are only objects of ordinary interest to “No Eyes.” “Eyes” look not only at the object but for the why and the wherefore, and when the brair holds the why and the wherefore the eves ever after see all instead of part. The difference between “Eyves” and “No Eyes” is really the difference be- tween th: places in life men occupy. “Eyes” =ets the cream of life and “No Eyes” catch what they can. The Wide-Awakes should all resolve to be Eyes.

Black Jim lay stretched his whole length in front of the fire taking his after-dinner nap, but at last it be- came so hot that he got up and stretch-. ed himself, and sat down on the door mat to wash the little white spot on his throat, the only white on his whole black body. These few white hairs were his pride and he washed them often so they would be as white as could be. As he sat there Little Ruth, his mis- tress, came in and nearly stumbled over him. Tl “Why Jim,” she said, “that is no Place for a big cat like you, why don't you stay in your basket?” _Then ehe took something from a little shawl and put it on the floor beside Jim. “This is little Shadow and you must be very good to him.” He looked up and there he saw a lit- tle kitten just like himself, only small, even to the white spot on the neck. Jim did not think much of having another cat in the house, and just like himself, too, but Shadow mewed soft- Iy and put one little black paw onm f'fils great big one and said in cat alk: “Please be good to me.

But when night came Shadow lay on Jim's big paw with the other around its neck and both were asleep. _“Tm sure they will _get along ‘all right together,” said Ruth to her mother that night, and they did. Even Jim got to thinking so mugh of Shadow that one morning he came and dropped a little baby mouse at the kitten's feet ang that surely showed they were friends. ~ MADELEINE TUCKER, Age 14. Columbia. Our First Skunk. Ono day when we were up In the woods we discovered a skunk_hole. We set a trap this way: First we Gug a small hole in the ground and put our trap in if. We covered it with some light dirt and then fastened it to a = ground. We set about six traps in the same way. We went up there every day. After we had had our traps there about two | weeks we caught him. We had on good clothes then, so we came home to put on old ones. When we went back the skunk was gone. He had pulled his leg out of the trap, We set the traps again, then went home disgusted. We kept on golng up there regular- 1y, and in a few weeks more we had him again. This time we climbed up, in back of | him and peited him with stones and | hit him with clubs till he was dead. Then we pulled him out of the hole ar brought him home and skinned We sold him that day and were sur- prised at all the money we got for him.

ETHEL MAE DAVIS, Age 14, Wauregan. The Origin of The Woodpecker. There was_an old lady who lived on a hill. She was very small, and she always wore a black dress and a large white apron with big bows be- hind. On her head she wore the queer. est little red bonnet you ever saw. It is a sad thing to tell, but the lady had grown selfish as the years went by. People said this was be- cause she lived alone, and thought of no one but herself. One morning, as she was baking cakes, a tired, hungry old man came to her door. “My good, woman,” said he, “will you give me one of your cakes? I am very hungry. 1 have no money to pay for it, but whatever you wish for, you shall have.” Then the old lady looked at her cakes, and thought that these were too large to give away. So she broke off a small bit of dough, and put it into the oven to bake. But when it was done, she thought this one was too nice and brown for a besgar. So she baked a smaller one, and then a_smaller one, but still-each was as nice and as brown as the first. At last she took a piece of dough only as big as the head of a pin, yet even this looked as brown and fine as the others. Then the old lady put all the cakes on the shelf and offered the oid man a dry crust of bread. But the poor man only laoked at her and before the old woman could wink her eye, he was gone. Then the old lady thought a good deal about it, and knew that she had | done wrons. “Oh, I wish I were a bird,” said she, I would fly to him with the largest cake on the shelf.” As she spoke she felt herself grow- ing smaller ang smaller, until the wind | picked her up and carried her up the | chimney. ‘When she came out, she still had on her red bonnet-and black dress.

The willows had yellowed and put forth their catkins, the woods were half hid- dem in the haze of spring, and there a violet was in bloom in a warm and sheltered spot. The odor of fallow land was in the air, and the birds were chanting happy roundelays. It was the kind of a day the butterflies that have wintered in the shrubbery was and these are the only butterflies thaf look upon the departing ice and snow. Mrs. Mourning Cloak and Mr. Grapta Coma met in an open lot, and after a social dance in the air they flew to a low, sunny fence rail for a little chat, as cousins- will. You could see that they were glad to see one another, for they touched horns and courtesied as polite ~ butterflies do when they are feeling happy and friendly. “How have you been all winter?” in- quired Mr. Grapta Coma of Mrs. Mourning Cloak. “Passed a real comfortable winter in a pine tree,” replied Mrs. Mourning Cloak, “altho’ I must say I have had a few noisy neighbors, I do not sce why the owls hoot so at night, and the jays holler so by day.” “It is because they belong to mnoisy families, I guess,” remarked Mr. Grap- ta Coma. “It's natural for some folks to make a big noise so other people wil] know they are alive.” “Where did you spend the winter, Mr. Grapta Coma?” asked Mrs. Mourn- ing Cloak. “I shall have to explain,” answered Mr. Grapta Coma. “You gee, I stayed out late one evening in the Fall, and when I started for home it was so blustery I couldn’t get there, and when I was bewildered and almost lost a strong gust of wind kindly threw me into a bed of leavas en the south side of a wall, and I stayed there, I crawled into a hole, and as the zephyrs played with the leaves they closed me in, and none of these searching winds found me all winter long.” “Oh, what an adventurel” exclaimed and here | SUNNY DAYS IN The Gossiping Butterflies (Copyrighte & Written for the Wide-Awake Circle. | Mrs and trees make their first flight abroad, | t Mourning Cloak. “Then you do what became of your mate— not kno whether he survived or not?” Dear Uncle Jed.
