ALICE LONGEVIN, Age 8. Mystle. Their Walk for Nothing, Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would write and tell you about our walk for nething, My brothers and sisters and T went nutting last week and went round all the chestnut and hickory nut trees; but we didn’t get many nuts. ‘When we came to a tree on the side of a hill where its lowest branches touched the ground, we got on them and had a nice time swinging. Then we didn’t care much whether we got any nuts or not. We also enjoyed walking about ad- (o I wish that something exciting would twrn up,” remarked little Lil- Jian Joyee to her mother two days be- fore Hallorwe'en. “It seemed as though I could never stand what I have. had been very ill with the mumps i1or three long, lonely weeks and durimg that time she had not seen a child Mrs. Jewwee said nothing, but put her eibows on the fable and thought, Fin- ally she said, “Dear, you have cer- tainly stood the mumps fine, and if vou wisla for something exciting to occur now how would a Hallowe'en party de You are well enough 30 you'd be able to stand the noise, and then besfides it would be exciting get- ting readly for it” g “Oh, mother!” exclaimed Lillian, “how diil you ever think of it.

For a good hour and a haif the two worked stringing :hestnuts, and cut- ting pumpkins, ghosts, and cats out of the crepe paper. When this work was done, Mrs. Joyvce said, “Now, Lillian, the next thing is, who is to be invited? As it is your party vou are the one to say. We must send out invitations tomorrow as it is late now.” “Well, mother, I will see to that right away,” and there was such excitement cutting out little pictures and pasting on cards, on which the invitations were written, The next day nearly every girl or boy received a pumpkin or ghost sealed letter, in which was a card gladly re- ceived by all. On the night of October the thirtietn thirty boys and girls crowded into the Joyce home. They all wore cos- tumes, some of sheets, with holes for eves, others old fashioned garments while still others dressed in the way witches are represented. After games were played and re- freshments of ice cream, cake, candy, nuts and oranges were _served, the clock struck ten, and all departed for their homese, \ i That night thirty happy children went into the land of slumbers, but still happier was the little girl who had given them a good time.

Dear Uncle Jed: Last month e boys thought we would play “diamond hunters.” Near our house there is a lot running from one end of it to another is a wall and in this wall there are some bright hued rocks. We selected a judge to see who had the most different stones; when any body found one he would mark it with chalk so that if anybody passed that way he would know that it was al- ready claimed. When everyone had found all he could we would go (o the judge who would decide who was the winner. 1 hope some of the boy Wide-Awakes will try this game. ASA HYMAN, Age 12. Norwich., How Annie Came to America. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you how I came to this country. My mother, my two sisters and T started the 13th of August, 1909, from Baden, Germany, in the afternoon at 8§ o'clock. We were on the train all night until next morning at 8 o’clock when we got to Antwerp, Belgiunt There we got off and went into a hotel where we got some breakfast. Soon after a big team came for us and some more families to bring us to thn7 big steamship that was waliting for the people. You can imagine how astonished wa were to see those great big vessels, then smaller ones and still smaller ones. Some persons in our team were sing- ing, oihers were crying; and you may be sure that I was one who was cry- ing. We then got on board the ship and about two hours later our parting time came. Most of the passengers were on deck waving fheir handker- chiefs while the band playved a fare- well song. At about 5 o'clock in the affernoon all we could then see was sky and wa- ter. We had a lovely time sailing; there were all kinds of games and many sports played on board. We were on the water nine days and at last we saw land. Oh, how glad we all were. Some were seasick and some had many other troubles. Well, we reached New York the 23 of August at 5 o’clock and there my father was waiting for us on the dock. ‘What a joyous meeting that was, for we had not seen our father for three years. We stayed in New York the next three days and then started for our fu- ture home which was to be ¥ Plain- field, Conn. We lived there one year, then we moved to our present home which is here in Taftville ANNIE HENZLER, Tafiville, Age 14.

One morning my sister opened the door of his cage and out Birdie flew. The window was open and he flew to the window sill. He could not fly very well. My father threw his hat at Birdie to catch him. Birdie fluttered down and fell into fhe gutter. There was not much water in the gutter. A man caught him and gave hinmy to my father. Father paid him for catching him. We gave him a bath and put him in his cage. We gave him his breakfast. One day we were about to move away from the city. We could not take Birdie with us, because we were going to Gurleyville, Connecticut I gave him to the care of my aunt. He is dead now. Someone left the door of his cage open. He flew out and the cat got him. He was a nice litile pet, and I shall not forget him. EVA ALPERIN, Age 12 Mansfield Four Corners. Found a Calf in the Woods. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you what happened one day when some girls and I went chestnutting. About 50 cows had been pastured ix the woods all summer. When fall came they were all taken back to the barn exceot one little calf which couid not be found. It was a week afier, when we were nutting, that we heard a strange noise in the bushes. We looked up and there saw a pretty little calf staring at us Oh! it was so thin! We ran and told some men werking nearby. They brought the little caif to my aunt’s barn. We gave it warm milk from a bottle and made a bed for it. It i growing fatter and prettier every dayv, and we girls feel proud to think, that we own a calf. HATTIE GRAHAM, Taftville, "Age 12. The Boy Came Down. Dear Uncle Jed: An old farmer once found a rude boy in one of his apple trees. He told him to come down, but the boy said he would not. “Won’t you?” said the farmer; I will make vou come down.” So he pulled up some grass and threw it at the boy: but this only made him igh the more, to think the farmer would make him come down from the tree with grass. “Well,” said the farmer, “if neither words nor grass will make you some down, I will try stones.” “then So the old farmer hit him with stones. The boy soor came down, and even asked the farmer’s forgiveness for stealing the apples and disobeying him. / MARY NOLAN, Age 14. Taftville. James and His Kite. Dear Uncle Jed: I am sending you a story. After seeing John’s ship, James tried his skill on a kite. He made one al- most as tall as himself. When he walk- ed with it on his back it seemed as if the kite itself was walking. He pasted on one side of it a large eagle cut in gilt paper, with olive branches in one talon and arrows in the other. On the other side he put a sun and a circle of stars around it. But when James went out on the lawn to fly his kite he tried a long time alone, but did not succeed. He then called his sister, Lucy, to help him, and they both did the best they knew how, but the kite would not “There! - there!l’ exclaimed James, a little vexed, “I will not try any longer; it is of no use.” Just. then his father came out and said: “Oh, fie, fle! My little son! Don’t let two or three failures discolirage vou. Try again, and I will help you” So James tried again. His father tossed the kite up just as he ran off with the string, and » gentls breeze carried it up, up, up, till it appeared like a white speck in the sl They all watched it wi great de- light for some time, and when James rolled in the’string and drew it down. he said: “I am glad, 1 father, tried again, Crawford “*Parlor” Crawford ““Wood Parlor” " For sale by M.
