UNCLE JED'SiTALV}z WITH WIDE- AWAKES. There are some good resolves the Wide- Awakes might make with ad- vantage to themselves and to the de- light of their paremts. How much pleasanter home-life would be made ghould every Wide- Awale resolve to be obedient to their parents: and it would really make it easier to be obedient to teachers Then a resolve to keep warm and! dry, for that means better health for the Wide- Awake and less expense and worry to paremts. Do not think it is smart to splash in water and t over boots in snow, or t lothing ‘on. to sit with damp THE WIDE AWAKE CIRCL P2 BOYS’ AND GIRLS' DEPARTMENT and useful every day lays the founda- tion for a good habit and for future growth and usefulness. It is too much play that makes Jack a dull boy. I must tell you some of the advantages of learning: “Learning is weglth to the poor and honor for the rich, an aid to the young and a support and comfort for the aged.” “Those who learn from their own ex- perience are wise; those who learn from the experience of others are hap- { py; those who learn neither from their own experience nor the experience of others are fools.” “Learning makes a man fit company for himself.” And the best learning is that which prompts you to unlearn evil. If the Wide-Awakes will just fix these thcughts in their minds they will be more eager to learn and cause less anx- iety for parents and teachers, and nev- er have occasion for regret. Living in obedience to parents and teachers, striving to please all You come in contact w . desire to grow in knowledge and usefulness makes the ways of life more and more promising and the rewards of life greater and Awakes who are diligent in ays ar likely to have more | comforts and leisvre in life than those | who are thoustless and playful and Uncle Jed wants the Wide-Awakes (o realize the value of obedience to parents and application | to studies.

By and by some robbers attacked him. He played his clarionet and the robbers began to dance and he ran away. Next he reached the capltal and made his way to the palace.

There had been but little suow or cold weather that year, and little boys and girls who had sleds had not felt the use of them until that delightful day when poor Peggy had to suffer for her pleasure. The three little sisters of that happy family were combing their hair and eager to get down to breakfast when brother Fred came In shouting: "Oh, sisters, I have just come from the pond, and the ice is so safe and thick that I am sure mother will let us go after breakfast.” And ind she must have, for not long after found the three sisters and Fred disappearing out of sight over the hill. Such a merry time as they had until the oldest sister, Peggy, and little May, on turning sharp corners around the pond, ran into each other. May was not hurt much but Peggy had sprained her ankle, The children did not know what to do_for Peggy could not walk a step. It was finally decided that she should get on the sled and the children would pull her home, I am sorry to say that Peggy is just taking her first steps after a week.
