TUncle Jed has letters inquiring why Jetters do not appear in the Wide- Awake department. There are various reasons which we #hall give and then the writers may be able to think why.

When a letter is too short and has too little in it to be interesting. When a letter is too long and takes up too much space. You may find in these 12 reasons why your letter did not appear. How long should a letter be to be acceptable? A letter of less than 50 words would be too short, and a letter of over 400 words too long; and a story over 600 words longer than Uncle Jed cares for. The principal thing is to have the letter plainly written, for a good story dimly written would be rejected by the printers. They have no time to bother with poor copy. If the Wide-Awakes will heed the suggestions given in these 12 reasons Why their letters do not appear in print | they will be likely to write more ac- ceptable letters, All letters have to await their turn STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE- AWAKES, | Billy's Vil Billy, who had j a gun, was alio itor. ust learned to handle | n ved to join his father's hunting party. The camp, a long bun- galow, was situated among the Adi- rondacks. Early one morning the men started out on a hunting trip. Billy was too young to go, so he was left at the camp. The day passed very slowly. Evening came and Billy was sitting | in the living room reading a book. He | Wwas beginning to feel uneasy becaus: the men did not return. Suddenly he heard a sound. He thought it was the men returning. He ran to the win- | dow, pulled aside the curtains. and | there was a face peering in. Seream- ing he dropped the curtains When the men returned they found him cuddled up in a big chair. When he told them his story they examined the ground beneath the window and found that Billy's nightly visitor was- only a deer. ALICE M. GORMAN, Age 10. Versatiles. Etiquette for Boys. _ Grandmothers are perhaps more crit- ical than mothers about the . little points of etiquetie which distinguish the well bred from the poorly bred boy. It ‘'was one of these good old ladies who formulated the following rules: “Boys, if you want to be known as little gentlemen, remember that the following things should be done “Hat lifted when saying ‘Goodbye,’ or ‘How do you do?” “Hat lifted when offering a seat in a car, or acknowledging a favor. “Keep step with anyone you walk with. “Always precede a lady up stairs and ask her if vou may precede her in passing through in public places. “Hat off at the moment you enter a street door, or step into a private hall or office. “Let a lady pass first, always, unless she asks you to preceds her. “In the parlor stand until every lady is seated. “Look people straight in_ the face when speaking or being spoken to. “Let ladies pass through a door first standing aside for them. “In the dining room take your seat after ladies and all elders. “Never play with knife, spoon, “Do not take your napkin in a bunch our hand. “Bat as fast, or as slow as the others, and finish the course when they do. “Rise when ladies leave the room and stand still until they are out. “Special rules for the mouth are: All noise in eating, or smacking the lips, should be avoided. “Cover the mouth with hand or nap- kin when obliged to remove anything from it, “Use your handkerchief unobtrusive- Iy always. “Always knock at any private room door.” { | | { | fork or in GEORGE FARRELL, Age 13. Norwich. What the King Lacked. There was once upon a time a king who was very rich gnd powerful. Now this king was also rather vain, and one day he said boastingly: “Have I mnot all a king can want? I am rich, T have power, I have a wife who obevs me, I have 2 son to suc- ceed me, a daughter to love me; my kingdom is the largest in the world; people bow down in homage before me, I am called a just king. Tell me, he who can, if there is anything a man could wish for that I have not Eot? Tell me, is there anything Ilack?’ And one among the company who was bolder than the rest spoke up and said: “Yes, oh, king, there is one thing that you lack—the greatest thing of all, and it is the love of your subjects.” The king was very angry and dis- missed the man who had spoken from could no slesp. Out of the darkness a Voice seemed forever saving: ““The love of vour subjects—the love of your subjects—The greatest thing of all—the love of your subjects!” The next morning the king arose ear- Iy and journeyed to a certain forest wherein there dwelt a good hermit. The king told the hermit his difficulty, and when he had finished the hermit asked very gravely: “Telk me, oh, king, have you a lov- ing heart?” A loving heart!” the king exclaim- ed. “A loving heart!” He was be- wildered, for he had never looked into his hearf to see whether it was loving or no, “Yag, & loving heart” repeated the hermit. *“And T see by vour expres- sion that you have not given thought to the subject before. And, further- more, oh, king, in that you do lack a loving heart, you do also lack the love of your sabjects; vou lack the greatest fhing of all. For unless your own heart ig £ull of love, it cannot send forth ravs | of sunshife and good-will and sympa- thy t& WIA the hearts of others. But if you will but create love in your own heart You will find that in time the| greatest thing of all shall -be yours— the love of your people.” The 6y88 of the king wers opened, and from that day he made as his| greatest &im life the ereating of love. in CARRIE A, PRATT, Age 15, Pomfret: Center How: John Helped Mamma. Johni lived in he city. When John’s mamma bad any letters for the mail- box she 1aid them on fhe corner of the ball table. One day when she was get- ting ready for a drive, she laid a large bundle there. This bundle was to be returned. to a store. While John's mamma was putting on her bonnet, her little boy wen: away, When the fam- ily were getting into the carriage John could not be found. They looked in the stable; they searched the house.

Cook found a footstool for Nellie to stand on, then she put some butter and sugar Into a basin ,and told the little girl to mix it with a large spoon. Nellie stirred with a will and cook added flour and eggs and plums and spice, and all the nice things that goori cooks put in a cake. Presently cook went into the back kitchen.
