In Holiand there once lived ® boy called Hans: He was eight years old. Hans liked to play games and skate on the iee, but the thing he liked best was to ¥ on the dikes and watch the huge waves, One day Hans’ mother teld him to bring some butter to his grandmother, who lived about two miles away. She told him to hwry up because it would be dark when he came back. Hans delivered the butter and was on the way buck when he heard a lit- tle gurgie under the dyke he was walking on. He stooped down to looks sure enough, there was a littla hole in the dyke, with water gurgling in. In a little while, if not stopped. the dyke would break down, and his country | would be flooded. Instantly Hans put his right hand into the hole. He stay- ed there during the long hours of the night, shoutiug; but' nobody came. His right hand was almost frozen. In the morning a group of people were talking near the dyke when they heard a shout. They ran along the dvke wbere the shouting was heard, when one ! suddenly: “Look!” ‘What t saw was a little figure huddled up near the dyke. They took Hans up and brought him to a nearby house. The dyke was repaired and Hans was richly rewarded for his bravery, but his right hand had to be cul off. Should you ever go to- Holland in winter some lime and see a boy with his right hand cut off skating merrily along, you wiil know that it is Hans, I ST FORBES, Age 10. Norwich.

When i finished gowmg to school I picked strawberries for a near neighbor. I earned quiie a little money.

The next day we wen( to see the circus parads and then cousin took us to a beach called Wao"'ua: 2. We had our lunch and then went to another beach called Quonochontaug:. The two cousins and I went in bath- ing. These two rames, Weekapaug and Quonochontaug, are Indian names. Then we came home. It was dark when we arrived in Westerly. Sunday we went to church and in the evening saw two brothers and their wives baptized. The next day we went to see an- other cousin of ours.
