Uncle Jed’s Talk to Wide Awakes. 1 wonder how many of the Wide Awakes have a hobby. There are a Sreat variety of hobbies in life and every one of them is good if looked upon right. ‘There are among children collectors of stamps and of buttons and of pic- tures and of leaves and of colored earths and of shells and of woods and of stones.

No birds could- talk -as-these birds did ex- cept dickey birds. These dickey birds had been sitting on a fence rail noticing the little blue butte fitting. among. the flowers with the bees, and the busy spiders in the grass. laying their.traps for them. “What makes the butterflies and the violets come at the. same.time of year and wear the same colored costumes?” askeq John Dickey bird of Joe. . “That is something the philosophers have never. been able to find out,” re- pliea Joe. “Nature's laws make them subjects of the.same atmosphere and when the sun has perfected the violet why then he wakes up.the butterflies and they get to work. Perhaps it is be- cause be fanties most the color of the sky.” ‘How he?’ asked John, “when most of the things on earth are dressed Joe Dickey-bird came near saying “Children can ask questions wise men cannot answer,” but he didn’t.

Joe looked up and said: “John, this is one way God’'s creatures have of loving owe another. The grasshopper in me feels just as good as the chick- en does in the cat,” and then they both laughed. They stopped, however, when they saw a bird hawk hovering over- head, and John said: “Let’s hide, Joe, 'm getting nervous. Mr. Hawk's appetite makes it danger- ous for us to remain here any longer, and they disappeared beneath a great rock and peeped out of the shadow. “It makes a difference,” said Joe, “whether you are hunted or are the hunter, in this“world. They all have to take their turns fleeing or,hiding.” “If life wasn't so fierce,” said John, “we shouldn’t any of us be so alert, perhaps.” And then the near approach of the hawk made them remain silent for fear they would attract him and lose their lives. ‘While they were waiting and watch- ing they saw the Io family come out of thelr cocoons and spreading their wings for flight under the stars when the sun had gone down.

We got off at the depot and walk- ed to the house which is about a mile. After dinner we went to a friend’s house a little way from where we ‘were staying. New Years day my cousin and I went for a walk toward Ballouville. The next day we walked around the place. We found some evergreen and some bright red berries which we brought home to grandma. After supper my friend and her mother came up and we talked and played sames until ten o’clock. Friday it rained and we had to stay in the house. We read books and looked at pictures. In the afternoon it cleared off and we went down street, where /I bought some cloth at the store for the baby's dress. Grandma has four cats, s dog and Bk g Shicieae: AR Ta s kittens are great pets.

Taftville. . He Lives Besids a River. Dear Uncle Jed: My house is right beside the river and in the winter when the trees are covered with snow and the pond with ice, it looks like dia- monds when the sun is shining. We can see icebouts skimming up and down with their big white sails swinging and catching the wind. The pond looks never lonesome because there are always boats of people on it; but in summer it looks prettier with the boats and canoces floating up and down with their flags in. the stern and the bow. There is a boathouse on the river and often the fellows have races up and down. of and two yards of half inch ribbon. Cover with the ribbon two four inch circles of card-board and overhand together. Close the remainder of t.ie wide ribbon to form the bag.

My father would not let me sall un- til I knew how to swim a little. Most of the accidents in sailing come from jibing the boat. Jibing comes when the boat is going side of the wind and you turn down with the wind. The right way is to turn the boat into the wind and go around. The most dangerous way to safl is directly in front of the wind. I have a round bottomed rowboat with a keel that I use in the summer. It has a sprit sail, two oars, and a rud- der to go with it. I like to race across the pond with other boys and their boats. CHARLES H. TIRRELL, Age 11. Norwich. A Trip to the Moon. One night when I was going to bed I went to the window to pull Gown my curtain. I saw that the moon had stolen through my window and I stood looking a few minutes at it I sald: “Oh, how T would like to take a trip to_the moon!” But how I could get up there, I do not know. Just then I heard a voice say: “Step right on _my beam and you shall soon be up here with me.” Idid so. I stepped righ! on the moonbeam without any _delay, and within a few minutes 1 found myself above all houses, trees and people. ‘As I said, I soon got to the moon In safety and I stepped out. When I got up there I thought I would see a big lump of green cheese and a thousand mice nibbling at it. But I did not see what I expected to see, 5o the first thing I asked the moon in astonishment was: “Are you made of green cheese and do mice keep coming once I a while nibbling at you?” The moon opened his mouth very wide and laughed at me for agking such a foolish question. I also met many litile people up there, and I saw many little houses, and I Jooked jn ome in which I saw very many small people sitiing at a very small table, eating black bread and green cheese, which did not look very delicious, On my way up I saw very many laces end very many Beautiful cit- es, I saw Paris, Melrose Abby, and Pompeii, I also saw the great Al- hambra eastle in Grenada, and a good deal meove, but I eould not name them, 1 had not peen up there more than an hour when I theusht it was time to >0 home, and I stepped into the moon- beam and found myself asleep in bed, and my mether calling me to get up and ge to sehool, HANNAH FIRTH, Age 13, Baitis, A Burnirg Ship at Sea, Tt may be interesting for our readers who do not know the dangers of the sea to be enlightened by my story.

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth pres- ident of the United States, was born Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Ken- tuc After struggling for an education, he became a lawyer at the age of 27. He was elected to the presidency in 1360, and re-elected in 1864, and con- ducted the affairs of the nation through the Civil war. At its close he was assassinated in Washington on the night of April 14, 1865, and died next morning.
