The younger brother went far away into another country. Poor and sad, he wandered about without a home. One day he lay down to rest near a singing brook. All around him the hillside was yellow with the bloom of daffodils. Tn his dream a water fairy stood be- fore him. “Take up the plants that bloom around you,” she said, “carry them to your own rocky fleld.” plants, and he who works and waits shall reap a golden harvest.” The young raan awoke.

LILTIE MARSCHAT. Mansfield Center. Where Olive Camped. Dear Uncle Jed: I will try to tell you a little about my s¥ster’s camping. She has a friend Olive who lives on a farm, and she told my sister and seven- teen other girls about an old empty farmhouse where they could camp. Ail that was in the house were two old cook stoves on which they got their meals, and all the girls took hammocks along to put up and sleep in. Each girl gave seventy-five cents for her rent ad a dollar and a half for her food. They took turns cooking. After their meals each girl took her dishes to the river and washed them.
