It fell unceasing down, Till alf the world began to drown. But jyst before it 'gan to pour, An old 0ld man—his name was Noah— Built fiim an ark that he might save His fpm'ly, from a watTy grave; And /n it 'he also designed To shelter two of every kind Of beast. Well, dear, when it was done, And heavy clouds obscured the sun, Noah’s folis to it quickly ran, And then the animals began To gravely march along in pairs; The leopards, tigers, wolves and bears, The deer, the hippopotamuses, The rabbits, squirrels, elks, walrusses, The camels, goats, cats and donkeys, The tall,girafies, the beavers, mon- keys, The rats, the big rhinoceroses, The dromedaries and the horses, The sheep, and mice, and kangaroos, Hyenas, elephants, koodoos And_hundreds more—twould take all a2y, My dear, So many names to say— Ang at the very, verv end Of the procession by. his friend And master, faithfil dog was seen. The livelong time he'd helping been To drive the crowd of creatures in; And now, with loud exultant bark, He gayly sprang aboard the Ark. Alas! so crowded was the space He could not in it find a place; So, patiently he turned about— Stood half-way in and half-way out, And those extremely heavy showers Descended through nine himdred hours And more; and, darling, at ther close, Most frozen was his hanest nose, And never could it lose again The dampness of that dreadful rain; And that is what, my curls of gold, Made all the dogsies’ noses cold.

He thanks them for their thousghtfulness. Printers cannot put in ty that are written too dim with pen or pencil. Be particular to get a black line when you write. Any old thing will not go. Uncle Jed does not like to toss let ters in the waste basket, but he ha to if they are duplicates of stories al- ready printed, or if < several on hand upon the same subiect, or if they are unsigned or undecipherable. pe letters Warm_ weather is coming and there will be lots of things to write about. Anything a child enioys will make a good subject for a letter. If there is any favoritism in this department it is for the writers who know the rules ang observe them and strive to make clean, readable letters. Uncle Jed’s Talk to Wide Awakes. You cannot Wide-Awake want to pl time. All work and Jack a dull boy work will make productive man. A boy or a girl be and all a the no make and no play all Jack a may play worthless, un- Is never too little to learn how to do things. Scme of the greatest men this country has produced had to work for a living when they were S-years old. It is not work that hurts, but idle- ness—love of leisure. You will find the ablest men make the longest days. Their purpese in life does not give them time to think of short hours. Do not get into the habit of mur- muring over stunts, but of feeling sood when they have been accomplished. Be careful and zet your mind on the right side of things, for that makes all the difference in your worldly view of things. Snarleyows are not born, but self- made from having gotten the habit of srumbling about little trials; and fin- ally they have come to think the trials of @0 one are so serious or soul-har- rowing as theirs. Every one has trials and the ones none of us should want are the other persom’s. It is all we can do to take care of our own. Persons who are wide-awake in this world soon discover that to be of ser- vice to others is the way to find real joy. Itis a nice thing to find out when you are youns.

STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE- AWAKES, Bad Apples. One day Robert’s father saw him playing with some bad boys. He had known for some time that his son was learning bad habits. He was very sorry, but thought it best not to pun- is {obert at the time. _That evening he brought in from the kgrchard six beautiful apples. Ho gavel them to Robert and told him to put them away for a few days till they got mellow. ~As Robert was putting them away his father gave him a rot- ten apple and told him to put it away with the rest. “But, father,” sald Robert, “this ap- ple will make the others bad. “Do you think so? ‘Why should not the sound apples make the other bad ones good?” And with these words he thut the door and went away. Elght days after he told Robert to take out the apples. The six apples that were sound were now rotten. “Did I not tell you that the bad ap- ple would spoil = the others?” said Robert. “My boy,” said his father, "did I not tell you not to play with bad boys? You have not cared for what I said, =0 I have tried to teach you a lesson with the appies. The bad apple spoils the good one.” Robert never forgot the lessqn his father taught him, and he never played with bad boys again. EDWARD BURNS, Age 13. Norwich. An Amusing Dog.

On my way home I saw a big black snake, and I Look!. There’s a snake!” The dog bit the snake in the head and killed him. I came home safely and the dog came, too. Everybody was asking me questions like this “Where did you get the dog?” I had to answer all the questions advertised in the papers, but nobody came after the dos, so I kept him and called him Laddie.

We noticed that the hens were afraid to eat them. We | went out to the back door to see. We could see nothing, so I went up to the box and in it was a very large rat. I was afraid of him, so I ran into the house. He ran into his house, too. T stood In the door and waited. Pret- ty soon he came back. This time he did not dare to stay, so he jumped Into the box and took a patato in his mouth and ran behind a box, where he left The old hens ran over to the box and every time he would bring one over the hens would steal it and go ay where they could eat in comfort.

Dear Uncle Jed: T am going to tell you how they -teach school in Ger- many. As T have only been here three years I can remember very well yet. Instead of women we had men, I tell you they were very strict. We had no desks ang chairs like we have here, but we had long behches and long tables. There used to be five on each bench. The girls sat on one side of the room and th: boys on the other side. Every night we would have to take our books, slates and everything home; we had leather bags on our backs and in them we carried our things home. | But our good time came in summer. Although we had our vacation two and Wweels, and then another time three wecks, we had our fun. In the morning when our teacher | would go out of the room one of the boys would walk up to the blackboard and write: “Please take us for a walk He sometimes did take us and some- times he didn’t. I remember one morning it was love- 1y eut, anl some boy wrote that on the board. When our teacher came in he read it and then asked us where we would like to go. The same boy who wrote on board steod up and sald: “We would like to go up on a high the hill.’ (There were some very high hills where we lived.) “All right” he said, “if everyone wants te go I will go with you.” So we all got ready and started twe by two. O! we did have a goed time then, as we always did when we took a walk with our teacher. ANNIE HENZLER, Age 14. Taftville. Her School in Westerly. Dear Uncle Jed: I will write you a letter about my school in Westerly, R. I, where I went to school two vears ago. My teacher’s name was Miss Liela It was a big school. I went on a trol ley car.

T am glad to say we have no wolves in our woods. The one I saw was in an iron cage. He was of a dark gray color. The wolf is a good deal like the dog in form. Fe cats the same sort of food, and laps like him; but he does not barlk like the dos. The cry of the wolf is a long, loud howl. He does not howl in the day time, but when it gets dark he will howl for an hour of two at a time. The wolf can bear both heat and cold; but when it is very cold and the snow is deep he will join with many more of his own kind to form a pack. Then they fly at anyone they me&t. There are many ways to _get rid of them. I will tell you one. Nine or ten men go out into the woods and cut down some fir trees. .With the logs they make a hut so high that a wolf cannot jump on the roof. They put two or three pigs into the hut and give them some food. Then they climb on the roof with as many guns as they can get, and walt. The pigs soon make a noise over the food. By and by a wolf Is seen; then one or iwo more, till at last all the pack come out of the thick woods and rush | ovér the snow to the hut. They try to get at the pigs. Now is the time for the men té fire, and this they de all at once. As soon as a wolf is shot all the rest rush on him and eat him up. The men keep up a fire from the guns as long as any of the pack are to.be seen but when a good many away. are dead the rest get shy, and run ANNIE KRAUSS, Age 13, Taftville have a Ranses by one motior ch patented damper whi regulates fire and oven, better than twodampers can. “Check’’—rzhe range does the rest.
