Her parents were rich and she lived in a big house. One day her father and mother went away and left her with her nurse. The nurse went to a florist’s shop on the next sireet to get some flowers for wrgaret and left her sleeping in her little bed near the open fireplace. A large coal snapped from the grate and set fire to the rug in front of the fireplace. While the flames crept nearer and nearer the sleeping child a beggar coming up the street saw the smoke coming out of the open window. He flung open the heavy front door. As he ran up the stairs he heard Margaret screaming, f she was now awake. He caught her in his arms and carried her downstairs into the open i rly suffocated with nurse came home of roses.

So when school commenced in Seprember we decided to have one. About the first of October we began to prepare for it in good earnest. The daie decided upon was Oct. 22d. Anmouncements of this were sent to our friends. Each child was given something to do. Premium cards in the form of purple and green leaves were made. Upon the purple was writ- ten “First Premium.” on the green “Second Premium.” The exhibit table was made by placing boards across the tops of one row of desks. Wednesday dawned bright and clear. Agricultoral exhibits of every desc tion were arranged on the table. Va ous things such as jumping jacks, ele- phants and teddy bears were made out of vegetables On one end of the table was a house built of cornstalks. In the center was a man made of vegetables. On the other end were vegetables, canned fruit, candy and jack o lan- terns. Our school work was exhibited, but the agricultural table drew more at- téntion. Twenty-one friends were present. Among them were our parents, friends, Messrs. Clapp, Brundage, Emerson and Hine. They were entertained with recitations and music given by thé pu- pilss A few of the guests also spoke. At the close of the programme cake was passed. Our exhibits were judged and every child received a first and second prize. Our fair not oniy gave the people a subject for conversation but also in- terested the pupils still more in agri- culture. JANICE GRANT.

An orphan, as you know, is a child Wwho has lost both father and mother. Once there were three cunning little baby foxes who lived in the woods. Their home was in a deep hole in the ground which had a long, narrow en- trance called a burrow. The father fox was caught in a trap and killed when the children were quite young, and one day the mother also failed to come home. The little foxes were very lonely and S0 hungry that ,they did not know what to do. In the aftérncon of that day a man who was walking through the woods found the mother of these three little baby foxes lying dead quite near a hole in the ground which had been made by a fox. He thought to himself perhaps there may be some little foxes in the hole and they will be wondering what has become of their mother. They may be very hungry and very likely almost starving for want of food. So he got a shovel and set to work digging the hole out very carefully. Down and down he went with the shovel. When he reached the bottom he found these three dear litile foxes, which were quite unable to look after themselves. He began to wonder if the great kind dog Nell which he had at home would look after these shy little crea- tures until they were old enough to be turned out into,the woods again ta look after themselves. He took them home and let them run loose in the vard where Nell was chained up. "There were some drain pipes 1n the vard and at first these lit- { tle foxes were so frightened that they ran up them, snd there they stayed for about half an hour, when ihey came out. o Nell at once took to them and look- ed after them for some weeks, almost the same as their mother would have done. But when they were old enough to look after themseives off they ran into the woods again. I hope that, in their own way- they did not forget to say “Thank you” to Nell for her kind- ness ROSE ALMA DEMUTH, Age 12. Baltic. The Duke of Wellington.

The Panama canal is one of the greatest feats of modern engineering. It means cutting through a mountain range, and will cost many hundred millions of dollars., The French, led by Ferdinand de | Lesseps, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on it, working from 1881 to 1889, were compelled to give it more money. President Hayes in 1859 tried to arouse the people of the United States by Europeans, but in vain. its property and rights for $40.000.000. On June h, 1902, congress passefl an act by which the president might ac- cept the terms. On Feb. 234, 19045 a treaty with Panama was made for the building of the canal , President Roosevelt went to the isthmus in 190% to see the state of af- fairs there, and it has been decided to make the canai a lock canal instead of cutting down below sea level. The canal when finished will mean a | great interocecan waterway The At- lantic and Pacific oceans will be con- i nected and an important thoroughfare made for the commerce not only of the United States but of other countries as well s ANNIE KRAUSS, Age 14 Taftville.

Teddy ‘was too guick for her. He jurmaped out of the basket, on the table, on to some flypaper. He then jumped off the table, his forefeet on the flypaper stuck there. He was so frightened that he almost rolled himself up in it. . ' Papa and mamma had to help take the flypaper off Teddy. He seemed to know he was with friends when the mother took Ted: up in her lap and worked carefully and freed him from the fiypaper. Teddy was never afraid after this, and grew to'love the family more and more. Jessie is pever tired of telling about Teddy the Traveler and about the ad- ventures after Teddy arrived. FRANK PARDY, Age 12. Norwich, The Way of Weeds. Our native weeds are for the most part shy and harmless, and retreat be- fore cultivation; but the Huropean out- laws follow man like vermin; they hang to his coat skirts, his sheep | transport them in their wool, his cow and horse in tall and mane. Weeds are great travelers; they are, indeed, the tramps of the vegetabla world. They are going east, west, north, south: they walk, they fly, they swim, they steal a ride, they trave! by rail, flood and wind; they go under and above ground, across lots and by the highway. But like other tramps,, they find it safest by the highway; in the flelds they are intercepted and cut off, but on the public road every boy, every passing drove of sheep or cows gives them a lift. Hence, the incursiom of a new weed is eenerally first noticed along the highway or the railroad. JESSIE L. BREHAUT. East Norwich, N. Y. LETTERS TO UNCLE JED, On the Honor Roll for September.
