How Does He Know? By Minnie Leona Upton, Little black Don, beside me lying, With nose on paws, but ears attent, And great brown eyes with true love trying To see on what 'Im bent. Dear little Don, how do you know it, When troubled thoughts steal o'er my mind? Long e’er my face, ’'m sure, can show it, Your nose, so wee, so kind, 1 Beneath my hand, with dear persist- ence, ;- 1s poked—and oh, those shining eyes! Ah, who could keep vou at a distance? Well, one than I more wise! And is it foolish, too, I wonder) Feeling this love so deep, though dumb, To pray that naught may ever sunder Me from so true a chum? — Our Dumb Animals, Clever Little Thomas. When Thomas Poole first went to school, He was but scarcely seven; Yet knew as well to Pead and spaell As most boys of eleven. He took his seat, and wrote quite neat, And never idly acted; And then, beside, he multiplied, Divided and subtracted. His master said (and head), “If thus you persevere, My little friend, you may depend Upon a prize next year.” stroked his UNCLE JED’'S TALK TO WIDE- AWAKES, Uncle Jed did say “it would please him if the children would help keep the city clean, which is an aid to mak- ing the city more beautiful and healthy,” and he is glad that ten Wide- Awake boys have organized Band No. 1 for the purpose of doing’ what they can to assist the ladies in their en- deavor to have the city streets- and yards kept tidy. It is good traiming for any boy or ®irl to pick things up instead.of throw- ing them down. for ome savés work while the other makes streets and Yyards unsightly as well as adds to the work of others. The habit of keeping'clean is one of the recommendations of a boy or girl for any walk in life. Slovenly hablts not only litter up public and private premises, but furnish, breeding places for every kind of a pest and lodgement for matter which breeds disease. He i= an undesirable neighbor and a bad example in citizenship who maintains a filthy place. It is this negligence which menaces heaith that requires the permanent establishment of health boards. X We hope that other Wide-Awakes DE AWAKE CIRCL 'BoysandGirlsDepart;nen' e will foliow this good example and that BUSY MINDS Geography Game. “Aunt Jennle, Susie won’t play with us ’'cause she’s reading her new book, and Jimmle and I can’t go out ’cause Jimmie’s got a cold, and what can we Pplay?” Littie Jennie looked pleased though not surpriseq when Aunt Jennie put down her work and said cheerfully, ‘Well, let's see! You get your scis- sors while I think.” The children brought the scissors, and Aunt Jennie brought down from the attic a large pile of old papers, and magazines. “Now,” said she; “we will make a game—a geography game, 1 think. You eut out pictures and see what names of cities vou can make from them, or think of the name of a city and then find pictures to represent it.” Jennie and Jimmie did not quite get the idea, but Susie had heard, and joined the group, saying, ‘I've thought of one already: Baltimore—a picture o[‘n ball, a necktie and a lawn mow- mediately the huntfng for pictures began and the scissors were soon in constant use. - “‘Here is a lovely cow, I'd like to get in” sald Jimmie. x “Make Cow-pens,” suggested Aunt Jennie, who"was busy cutting out eight | inch squares of manila paper. “I've got Washington,” said Susie. “May I paste? I did some pasting at school the other day.” So they thought and cut and pasted, ang at the end of two hours had evolved 25 meat manila paper cards, each showing in rebus fashion a well known city. Bridgeport, Columbus, Milwaukee— but you will wish to think up others for yourselves. ’ The children had been profitably entertained, and Aunt Jennie’s game for her company that evening was all ready. Bach gunest was furnished with a blank card and a peneil, and was ask- ed to guess as many of the cities as possible. A pleasant hour was spent by all, with varying degrees of suc- cess. 2 Then the name af each eity with its corresponding number on the eard was | read by the hostess, and the ene who hag the greatest number right med- estly recetved the congratulatiors ef his rivals, we shall have a score er more Wide- Awake bands pledged to aid the ladies in making Norwich a Spotless Town. _ LETTERS OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT: John O'Neil of Norwich: I thank yoa very much for the book you awarded me.

The Story an Oid Soldier Told.’ Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would write and tell you about the story an old soldier told us at school last week. Once thers was a man who was ar- rested in a foreign country. He was tried and found guilty. ;He was sen- tenced to be shot. f As he stood in front of the gra-e they asked him if he had anything to say. He said “Yes.” He pulled out of his pocket a little American flag and said: “Shoot me, if you dare!” Our country’s flag saved his life. GLADYS RfiLLINS, Age 11. What Gypsy Can Do. Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would tell you about a dog. My aunt has a dog and his name is Gypsy, who can | AND"HANDS Boys Build Bird-Houss. There is a great surprise in store for Miss Jenny Wren, Master Robin Red Breast and others of the feath~. ered tribe, on their return to New York city 'from the winter resorts of the south, says the World. Altogether there are -probably 400 of these up- to-date bird dwellings since some 40 boys of the manual training class of public schoo] No. 42 have been all winter at work upon them. But the demang, it is expected, will far exceed the supply. It is a case of first come, first served. So great the variety and so numer- ous the designs that it is quite pos- sible to suit every taste. Some of the houses are very tiny with just one small opening suitable for, say, one member of Jenny Wren's family. Oth- ers are large and pretentious—two ang three story houses, shingled and trimmed and patterned after those that peoplé live in with real windows and doors. Dr. John P. Haney, the school’s principal, says: “We sent to the Au- dubon soclety for books on bird life that we might learn more accurately the nature and size of the bird that would occupy the houses we might build: It was necessary not only to suit the house to the bird, but to pro- vide “so that the quarrelsome bird would not invade the precincts of the shy and meéek ones. “The boys found that wrens must be protected against the onslaughts of the larger and flercer birds. The wren can get through a door that is just thewsize of a quarter of a dol- lar. So great care has to be taken ! not to cut it larger, else the saucy sparrow is quite likely to enter Jenny Wren's little heouse uninvited. “While the boys learned how' to con- struct the house in case they did all the work at home. One of the best features about the work was that they made them out of any sort of box they ceuld find gbout the house. One bey made his, part, eut eof a soap box, another used a starch box and the thifd used the top ef an old sauce- pan. The manuai dexterity they have tearned will stand them in good stead later on, whatever professien the lads decide to take up.’—Christian Science Monitor. y 86 to the brook and come || mud turtle in his mouth ? § do a great many tricks.

A ALICIA BELLOWS, Age 13. Norwich. 4 « Her School is on a Hill. Dear Uncle Jed: I enjoy reading the ‘Wide-Awakes' letters. I thought seme of the Wide-Awakes would like te hear about my school. - My schoolhouse is on the summit of a high hill. It is a large wooden build- ing with two stories. 1 am in the third grade. There are. two grades in the room. Our grade has 32 pupils; the fourth, 20. We study arithmetic, spelling, geog- ;&v?y and language. 1 like arithmetic est. Next week is examination week. Those who stand over 85 do not have to take examinations. I hope I won’t have to. PERCY, Age 8. The Picnic in the Woods. Dear Uncle Jed: I enjoyed readiag the 'Wide-Awake letters very much. I am going to write you abeut my picnic last vacation. One day my sister and her two play- mates and I and two of my playmates went out in the woods to have a pic- nic at 2 o’'clock in the afternoon. After we arrived in the woeds w¥ found a shady spot under a very largs tree. By and by we looked up and saw a large squirrel in a chestnut tree. After we watched the squirrel for some time we got tired sittigg, so we got u» and played some games. Soon we wers hungry, so we ate our lunch. After lunch we sang songs, played games and told stories. By and by we thought we would go home, because we heard the 5 o'clock whistle. We arrived home at 6 o‘clock and were so tired that the next morning we did not get up till half past 8. LENA BLOOM, Age 9. Alphonse’s Pet Kittens. Dear Uncle Jed: In one of the letters last week I saw that one of the giris asked the Wide-Awakes about their pets. I have some little kittens. They have a lovely mother. They go behind the stove, and when the mother comes out from under the stove to find them thay jump out in front of her and scare her. She plays with them. One day I went to catch them afid they ran.under the shed door. I went in and brought one of them out. He jumped out of my arms and ran into the woodpile. I took him out and brought him into the house. I put him with his brothers and sisters and his mother, They were all blinking their eyes. I went to pick one up and he put out his little paw and tried to scratch me. I don’t know as 1 shall be allowed to keep them all. I hope to, as they are a very happy family. & ALPHONSE FOURNIER, Age 10. Leah’s Trip to New York. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell vou about my last Christmas vacation at New York. One Sunday- my mother and I went to New York. While I was riding on the train I saw hills and large rivers. ‘When we camel\ea.r the hills it got dark on the traiff. ‘When I reached New York I saw a great many horse cars. After that ! went on the elevator and rpde to. my aunt’s house. ‘When we arrived it was § o’clock, so we had our supper. -After that I was so tired that I had to go to sleep. The next morning when I woke up i seemed very strange to me, for I did not know where I was. Then my mother came in, so I remembered where I was. Then my mother dressed me, and I ate my breakfast and weai up town. There I saw a fruit cart. so I bough: some fruit and candy. When I bougat candy I came back and played with my cousins. ‘After dinner I went with my cousins and mother and aunts up town. There we went on the horse cars. I saw many wonderful sights that T never had seen before. LEAH SIEGEL, Age 8. She Rides with Her Father. Dear Uncle Jed: Perhaps some of the Wide-Awakes would like to hear ahout my rides on the fruit team. My father peddles fruit. In the summer when there is no school I go on the team with him. We start early in the morning. I enjoy the fresh air and the singing of the birds. At noon we generally stop at a handy place where there is a | spring, and we eat our lunch. Perhaps some of the Wide-Awakes would enjoy a trip with me some morning. BSTHER HYMAN, Age 9. Norwich. A Visit to Wilminaton, Del. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell vou about my visit to my father and brother, who are in Wilmington, Del. My brother took me to the top of the water tower and from there we conid see three different states. We took a walk one evening which led along beside the Brandywine, and it is a nice walk. * One day we went to Philadelphia | and T saw the Independence Bell, and went to Fairmount park and saw many | different kinds of animals, birds and | reptiles: and we also went to Wood- side park and heard Rolfe’'s band and saw the differémt kinds of amusements there. » We went to Brandywine Springs park, in Wilmington, and they have amusements there. I stayed three weks and had a very nice time. T should have Jiked to have stayed longer, but I had to come heme and g0 to school. FREDERICK KENDALL, Age % Norwich. { Her Little Seaman Friends. Dear Uncle Jed: I know four happy children. They have no mother or father. They are Germants, and live | in Germany. They have different fur- niture and dress different. The girls have longer dresses than we do, and have vests over their dresses. They go to a HNtile school miles away. They have a canary bird. It is their pet. They had it given to them for a Christmas present. The girle sew and knit. There are two boys and two girls. The Germans have benches at the side of the house. They lived very happily. T INBEZ MESSER, Age 10. Neorwich. The Cow Bell. Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would tell you abeut the ecow beil. g Onee on a time John, a farmer's boy, was keeping cows in a wood. They were all provided with bells; the most beautiful cow had the prettiest bell. It chanced that a stranger came through the wood. “That is a splendid bell,” he said. “How much did it cost?” “A crown,” said Peter. “No more!” cried the stranger. “I will give you two crewns for it.” John gave the siranger ihe bell and jovfully put the two crowns for it in his vocket. But/ when the cow had) lost her bell John could no longer hear in what part of the thick wood she e said he, guessed that the thief paid C for the b&i!'mer}l'y“ m‘.f 'hem fnlsgzg?“gcmh hold of the cow!” v But bis father said to him: “As the i rogue_has deceived you, so will pas- slg decelve us all.

Near the gold mines of Australia, by a little squatter’s 'house that was thgtched and wHitewashed in English fashlon, a group of rough English min- ers had come together to listen, in that far awaey country, to the singing of the English lark. Like most singers, he kept them waiting a bit. But at last, just at noon, when the mistress of the o had warranted him to sing, the Mttle feathered exile began, as it were, to tune his pipes. The savage men gath- ered around the cage that moment, and amidst a dead stillness the bird ut- tered some very uncertain chirps, but son he began his English song. It swelled his little throat and gush- him with trilling force and plenty, and every time he checked his song to think of its theme, the green meadows, the quiet, stealing streams, the clover he first soared from, and the spring, he sang so well, a loud sigh came from many 2 rough bosom, many a wild and wicked heart ‘told how tight the listeners had held their breath to hear him: and when he swelled with his song sgain, and pour- ed forth with all his soul the green meadows, the quiet brooks, the honey clover and the English spring, the rug- ged mouthg opened and so stayed, and the ‘'shaggy lips trembled, and rmore than one tear trickled from fierce hearts, down bronzed and rugged cheeks. ¥ JESSIE L. BREHAUT. East Norwich, New -York. Storigs About Parrots. A lady having removed to another part of the town kept hearing a voice saying: “Father, come to supper!” Finally she asked a neighbor what child was saying that so constantly, and was told it was a pafrot. A family were taking their parrot to an agricultural fair some seven or eight miles distant. When about half way their team broke down. The par- rot flew to one side of the road and said: “I thought I should die a laugh- ing.” The people were not in any condition to be laughed at and felt quite indignant with Polly. I was visiting a family where there was a parrot that called my hostess “Mother.” The lady told me some of the bird’s pranks, one of which was hiding in the tall grass when being looked for and laughing heartily when the lady was at a distance, but keep- ing perfectly still if she drew near. Later Polly was the means of saving the lives of the family—by warning them in the night that the home was on fire; but lost its own life, much to the sorrow of the family. They had the bird stuffed so they could keep it. At another place Polly was imitat- ing a cat. As I made some remark T was told to “Shut up.” One morning the parrot sald “I§”it 12 o'clock?" On being answered no, it said: “Give me fivecents.” Al The Bravery of David’s Men. It was in the early days of David, when hunted by Saul. With a band of brave men gbout him, he had taken refuge in the cave of Adullham. One day, heated and weary, he hag said, as if to himself it may be, “How I should like a draught of that cool water which flows from the well of Bethlehem!" Up from the depths of the lime- stone rocks it bubbled cold, clear and delicious and David associated it with happy memories of his boyhood as the shepherd lad, and thought of it as the best water in the round world. Now three of his brave men had overheard the words of their captain and whispering together they crept down the steep descent and across the valley and up the cliff and then burst into the midst of the Philis- tines, who were reposing in the lazy noon. The brave three fought every step of the way until they reached the well and then two of them defepd- ing him who bore the water and they fought their way back again. So they reached the cave and gave the water to avid. But to him it was a thing too sacred to be used, purchased at such a eost. It was not for his in- dulgence .that his men were to risk their own lives and slay their fellow- men. With a leek of gratitude for the splendid courage of the deed, David poured eut the water unto the Lord. LILLIAN BREHAUT, Age 15. East Norwich, New York. How Napoleon Crossed the Alps. About a hundred vears ago there lived a great.general whose name was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was the leader of the Frenc¢h army, and France was at war with nearly:all the coun- tries around. He wanted to take hi§ army inte Italy; but before he could get there he had to cross the Alps, the tops of which are covered with snow. “Is it pessible to cross the Alps?” said Napoleon. The men who had been sent ahead said: “It may be pos- sible, but—" . “Let me hear no more, poleon. “Forward! to Ital Napoleon had many difficulties in crossing the Alps. In four days they were marching on the plains of Italy. “Any man who has made up his mind to win,” said Napoleon, “will never say Impossible.” EDWARD BURNS, Age 13. Norwich. said Na- Queer Customs of Indians. The Indian customes are very differ- ent from the ways of the whites. If a son of a chief's squaw dies she is of- fereg a male captive, taken in war, usually white. If she declines the cap- tive the captive is put to death. If their medicine man dances a certain war dance they are sure bullets won't hurt them. They believe the side which sheds blood first shall not win in battle. If they feel anxious about their dead they call for thelr medicine man, who pieks out one in the tribe and beats him till he loses his senses. Then they put him in a pit and hang a cloth on a stiek above the pit and put In the hand of the unconscious man a club. When the wind shakes the cloth lhi: believe that the man is hitting it wi the" stick and believe he is talking with the dead. TIn the morning they crowd around the now conscious man and ask him how the dead are. JOHN HOGAN. Age 9. Putnam. { Birds and Trees of Florida. I thought I would like to tell the Wide Awakes of the trees and birds of the part of Florida in whieh I live., We have many beautiful trees, the magnolia, chinaberry and live oak be- ing the pretiiest, he chinaberry tree is shapad Tike an umbrella amd is often called the “umbrella tree.” Alse, there are hick- ory, ora lemon, palmeito amd long-teaf vellow pine trees. AW the trees are hung g e Kind You Have Always Bought Use For Over Thirty Years with gray Spanish moss, and they look very pretty. Our birds are icardinals or red birds, mocking birds, blue jays, and jack daws at this time of year, as all our Wwinter visitors have returned home. We see many birds in winter, who come here to escape the ¢old north- ern winter. EDNA CALKINS, Age 13. Kissimmee, Fla. Abraham Lincoln’s Father. ‘When the white people had been here a short time, a hunter went with his children to hunt in the wildergess of Kentucky.' As they went farther into the woods Indians sprang upéon them and the hunter and all his children were killed except Thomas, a little boy about three years old, who was rescued over his father’s dead body. This boy lived to be the father of Abraham Lincoln. I hope Uncle Jed and the Wide Awakes will like this story for it is Versailles. true. iegal tender JOSEPHINE BURKE, Age 12. LRnDtes areevens Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin was born in Bos- ton, Mass., Jan. 17, 1706. His parents were English. His fa- ther was a tallow chandler. Benjamin had 14 brothers and sisters older than himself. They were very poor. ‘When Benjamin was young he didn’t like to work. He would run out and play with the other bovs when he was told to help his father™> His favorite sport was to go fishing. At the age of eight Benjamin went to a grammar school. Later he studied Latin, French, German, Spanish and Ttalian. Benjamin worked for his brother in a printing office. The only money he got was his board. He asked his| brother to give him half of his board | and the rest in money. All the money | he got he spent for books. He went to New York, but he couldn’t get any | work, so he went to Philadelphia. There he started a printing office of his own. One day a man told him to go to England and buy a printing press. He told Franklin he would pay all the expenses. When Franklin came back the man wouldn’t pay it. Benjamin loved to study. He always corrected his own faults. He helped Genmeral Braddock to get supplies. He started the University of Pennsylva- nia, Benjamin Franklin dled April 17, 1790. He was buried in Christ church in Philadelphia.
