My Auto Trip to New Bedford. "We started at half past 12 Saturday noon. We went to Providence, reach- ing there at haif past 2, and New Bed- ford at 5 o'clock. About 7 o'clock we went to the park. I went on the roller coaster four times, on the hobby horses three times and on the “Tip Top” once. We got back from the park at $ o'clock. Sunday morning we went in bathing. When we went to the garage to get the auto we went after gasoline. Then we went to Buttonwood park and saw some bears, monkeys, deers, alligators, rabbits, cats and foxes. We had dinner and started for home about 1 o'clock. We came around by Taunton, Mass. Between Taunton and Providence we had a blowout. ‘We stopped on the road and had some ice cream, lunch and soda. We £ot home at half past 6. BERTHA A. DAVIS, Age 12. Jewett City. Our Picnie. About a week before the Fourth of July_my grandfather came down to my house and asked us if we would like to come to his picnic on the Fourth. We said “Yes” and began to make preparations for it. We furnished the elams, brown and white bread and the cale. On the morning of the Faurth two of us went to the ground and made preparations for the clambake. Then e went fishing while the women got the dinner. For dinner we had clams, white bread and brown bread, cake, lemon- ade and root beer. After dinner we played games and then had ice cream and cake to eat. About 5 o'clock we went home after having enjoyed a safe and sane Fourth, HAROLD WILDE. Wauregan. The Poultry Show. Last fall my cousin from Attieboro came to see us. He brought his friend with him. His friend has a large poultry farm. He told us there was BOIng to be a poultry show in Atile- boro and asked us to come. When the time came for the show e Bropared to go. My mother and uncle wenat, too.

We went to my cousin’s house and took dinner. After dinner we went to the poultry show. There were all kinds of fowis. Some of them were #oldén pheasants, turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons and all kinds of hens. After the show we went to my cous- in's printing office. I saw the print- ing press work.

VALLETTE, Age 13. c. Honest Work. Men said_the old smith was foolish- ly careful, as he wrought on the great chain he was making in his dingy shop in the heart of the mreat city; but he heeded not their words, and only wrought with greater painstak- ing. Link after link he fashioned and welded and finished, and at last the great chain was completed. Years passed. One night there was a_terrible storm, and the ship was in sore peril of being dashed upon the rocks. Anchor was dropped, but none of them held. At last the mighty sheet anchor was cast into the sea, and the old chain quickly ‘uncofled and ran out till it grew taut. All watched to see if it would bear the awful strain. \ It sang |:h the wild vessel's weight swung upon a moment of intense anxfety. storm as The ship with its cargo of a thousand lives | changed his tactics and (depended upon this one chain.

FLORIDA SAVAGEAU, Age 11. Versailles. The Robin’s Nest. *In the spring a pair of robins built a nest in a honevsuckle vine that £rows over our house. We could look out of a window into the nest and see there were four egss in it. Something disturbed the nest,as we could see the egs shells and a few feathers later. But another pair built their nest in a ‘shed nearby and have hatched four little ones. It is amusing to see the old: ones pulling worms out of _the ground for them. They are about large enough now to fly_away. GRACH 1 MAHONEY. Moses Cleveland. Dear Uncle Jed: Moses Cleveland was born Jan. 20, 1754, in the town of Canterbury. He lived in the old Cleveland home about a mile from our house, on the road to Brooklyn. The house has gone to ruins and aiso the sheds near it. He founded the city of Cleveland, Ohio, . Mr. Cleveland was a lawyver, a sol- dier, ‘a legislator, and leader of men. There is a monument erected to the memory of Moses Cleveland in the cemetery, which is a half mile from where I live. He died af the age of fifty-two years on Nov. 16, 1306, RUTH DAVIS, Age 11. Canterbury. Colchester. Fourth of July Parade. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going_to tell you about the parade in New London Fourth of July. It was the largest 1 ever saw. The floats were the pret- tiest part. The police led it, follow- ed by the soldiers, sallors and socie- ties. The National Women's Leagus had several floats representing the differ- ent industries such as farming, bak- ing and home life. A very pretty float represented the nations. Four girls, one seated in each corner, dressed in the Irish, French, Italian and English costumes; and the center under a canopy Liber- ty stood, holding a drawn sword in one hand, supporting our flag, with the other. Another represented a sub- marine. The float, however, was not decorated. A Britisn war automobile was also represented. The New London Ship and Bngine Co. had a float, showing garden plots in Groton: a cottage at one end, sur- rounded by flowers and farm products, formed this one. Then the Brainerd Co. had a flag float. A huge American flag made entirely of spools of red, white and blue silk, formed the pret- tiest float in the parade. Among the other floats were _the telephone company’s bluebell, Shefeld Dentrifrice company, the Red Cross. the J. N. Lapointe company’s gun and the ‘ambulance. There ¢ were other floats too numerous to mention. The parade was a great success; 50 everyone seems to think CATHERINE McVEIGH, Age 8. Norwich. & Armstrong The City Under the Se: What do you suppose was discovered under the &ea not long ago? A sunk- en_vessel, a treasure, a mine? No, a city. A beautiful city with beautiful flowers and bufldings, with streets paved with gold and everything was just wonderful and beautiful. Today I started on a journey to this new city. I went to the bank of the sea and after standing there for a short while 1 was surprised to hear a voice. T did not know where it came from and as I looked into the sea and saw a Dig fish with a chair on his back. He 2sked me if 1 wanted to visit the city under the sea and I said Yes. T got into the chair and he took me down to the bottom of the sea. On my v down I met many other fish, ants_and remains of old sunken ves. sels. He left me in front of a door. I rapped and heard in a sweet voice “Welcome to our city,” T opened the door_and walked in. T found that the inhabitants of the city were small, blue eyed, rosy cheek- ed and light haired. The bulldings were also sma'l and I had to get down on my knees to enter. T found the city just as T was told it would be. The people did not work at 2ll, but feasted and were merry all day long. When night came on the streets were beautiful with lights of all colors; the people retired and the city was still 3 1T walked around the city, not know- ing what to do, 50 I went to_a few houses and asked if I could stay over night:” but the people were afraid to let me in because they thought I was a giant. 1 went out and waited for the big fish to come along again. He came and took me back to where I came from. ESTHER SHERSHEVSKY, Age 12. Norwich. An Egg Steal A farmer had been missing eggs for some time and could find no clue to the thief. After a slight fall of snow the owner noticed a peculigr track leading from the henhouse. He fol- jowed it and at the base of a tree found many eggshells. Curious %0 know more about the robber, the man hid himself and walt- ed for 'developments. As he suspected, it was a weasel.

Alice, who was the daughter, worked in & store and. with the little earnings that she made, she supported mother. The home was furnished very shab- bily, but was kept neat. Alice worked from early morning until late at night Just for the sake of keeping her mother from starving. One evening when Alice came home she felt very sick. She didn't tell her mother, for if ehe could not work, who would pay the rent which was due, and who would buy t he provision which were giving out? No, she didn’t care. She must go to work. This went on for several days until she felt so sick that she knew it was impossible to go to work.

HBELEN R. KLINGON, Age 13. Colchester. The Boy Who Did Not Believe in Fairies. Bobby Lennox was a small boy who did not believe in fairies. Whenever anyone mentioned fairy to him he would scoff at them. Now the fairies did not like to have anyone disbelieve in them, 50 they re- solved to give Bobby a lesson. One day as Pobby was strolling in the woods he saw a large and beauti- ful butterfly. He did not know that this was one of the fairy folk sent to iure him to their kingdom. He tried to catch it, but failed. He still ran atter it until he found himself in a beautiful palace. He looked around, never had he seen the like. The gran- deur of the place made his eves dazzle. Suddenly he cried “Where am 12" To his surprise, he found that swarms of dainty small people encir- cled the ground around him. The fairy who acted as spokesman answered: “This is Fairyland.” “Fairyland!” exclaimed Bobby. “There is no such place as Fairviand. “This is Fairyland and we have brought you here to prove that fairies are a reality and that this world can- not exist without them,” said the fairy. “We shall show you such arts as fairies only posse: Calling several fairies, he told them to display their greatest magical feats. They did such remarkable tricks that Bobby said to himself: “T do believe that they are fairies after all.” “What do vou think of us now?" asked the fair: “I really believe that you are fairies, after all,” answered Bobby. “In that case you shall be home in a few minutes,” assured the fairy. By the help of some magic words Bobby soon found himseif at home. SADIE PHILLIPS, Age 14. Norwich. . A Riddle. The children were chatting one win- ter evening about dusk when little Anna suddenly called out: “Aunt Nell, won't you tell us a story? You have been to so many places and have seen so muck it is_easy for you to teil a story at any time.” “No dear,” answered her aunt, “no story tonight. But I will give you a riddle instead. A riddle!” together. “That will be fine. it? Let us have it “It is very oid,” said their aunt, “but it is just as good as new for those who have never heard it. Here it is: “A man was taking to town a fox, 2 goose and a bag of beans. “While he was with them there was no trouble. At last he came to a river which he had to cross. There was a boat, but it was so small that, besides the man, it would hold only one of the three—the fox, the goose or the bag of beans. - “The fox would kill the goose if left alone with her. The goose would eat the beans if there were no one to pre- vent her doing 0. What was to be cone? How was the man to get the thrée across safely? “Why, that is easy,” said Anthony. “He could take the goose over first, leaving the fox with the beans. Is that right?" “Yes, that is right for the first trip. What did he take over on the sec- ond?” “Why, then he could take over the fox,” said Mary. “Ah, that would not do.” said Aunt Nell. '“The fox would eat the goose. “Couldn’t the man put a muzzle on cried the childrer, all What is Someone at the Washington Zoolog- ical Park obtained the permission of the authorities to try the effect of cat- nip on the animals there. So far as known, catnip does not grow in the rative homes of these animals and this was the first time they had ever smelled it. The scent of the plant filled the whole place; and, as soon as it reach- ed the parrots’ corner, the two gaud- ily attired macaws sef up a note that told fearfully on the nerves of all, and made for that side of their cage, pok- ing their beaks and claws through it. When the catnip was brought near them, they became nearly frantic. They' were given some, and devoured it, stem, leaf and blossom, with an avidity commensurate with the noise of their cries. Next tria] was made of an African leopard. Before the keepers had reached the front of the cage, he had bounded from the shelf whereon he lay, apparently asleep, and stood ex- pectant. A double handful of catnip was passed through to the floor of the_den. Never was the prey of this spotted African In his wild state pounced up- on more savagely or with such abso- lute savage enjoyment. First, the leopard ate a mouthful of the stuff, then he lay flat on his back and wig- HOW CATNIP- AFFECTS WILD ANIMALS sled through the green mass until his black-spotted yellow hide was filled with the odor. Then he sat on a bunch of the cat- nip, caught a leaf-laden stem up in either paw, and rubbed his cheeks, chin, nose, eyes and head. He ate an additional mouthful or two, and then jumped back to his shelf, where the rest of the afternoon he lay, the very picture of contentment. In one tiger's cage there is a_very Young, but full-grown animal. When this great, surly beast inhaled the first sniff of the catnip, he began to mew like a kitten. Prior to this, the soft- est note of his volce had been one which put the roar of the bis-maned lHon near him to shame. That vicious tiger fairly revelled in the liberal allowance of the plant which was thrust into his cage. He rolled about in it and played like a six-weeks-old_kitten. He mewed and purred, tossed it about, ate of it, and after getting about as liberal a dose as the leopard had, likewise jumped to his shelf and blinked lazily the rest of the day. One big lion was either too dignified or too lazy to accord much attention to the bunch of catnip which fell to his lot. He ate a mouthful, licked his chops, as though saying “Not half bad,” 'and then went back to his slumbers.—New York Herald. . e o = Jack Tar, 6th prize, the fox?” inquired the little girl. ‘No, my dear,” said their aunt. “The man had no muszle. Besidles, for the purpose of the riddle he had to take one after another in the boat.” “Why couldn’t the goose swim over?” asked Anna. “Because that would not be the proper way to solve the riddle,” said Aunt Nell “Well,” said Anthony, “if the riddle cannot be explained in some such way, 1 give it up.” “And I!" "And T!" “And so do I'" cried the others. ‘One minute,” said Louise. ‘“Does it matter how many trips the man makes “No; he can make as many trips as are necessary,” answered the aunt. “Well, I hawe been thinking of one way he might manage it,” said Louise. “He might, as Anthony said, first take over the goose and leave her. Next he could take the fox and feave him but bring back the goose. The mext trip the beans could be carried across and left with the fox. On the fourth and last trip the man could take the goose over for the second time.” “Well done, Louise,” said Aunt Nell. “You have solved the riddle. See how easy it is to explain even _difficult things it we only stop to think. “If you will use your head you will be able, with a little trouble, to ex- plain_ many things more dificult than this riddle.” LEONA SULLIVAN, Age 12. Taftville. Joel’s Dream. “Get that one,” shouted Joel Barker. No sooner had he said this when his companion, John Blake, raised his re- peating rifle ad quickly fired three shots into the burly elephant's side. Down the elephant toppled. The luck of the ivory hunters had been far greater than expected. Al- ready they had gathered twice as much ivory as they had expected to get. Running to where the elephant lay they foudd that the animal was of an unusually large size. ell, let's go back to the camp,” sald Joel, who was the leader of the expedition. This they. did, talking until they retired about their remarkable catch. The next day they went again. It seemed that they would break all rec- ords. After killing three elephants they sat down, considering themselves satisfied_for the reml!nde!; of the. day. Suddenly four monster tigers appeared on the scene. Joel killed one and John another, but there were yvet two left to deal with. The hunters were beginning to feel frightened. The tigers made a mad dash and would have jumped on Joel, when from the dining room was héard, “Joel, hurry for breakfast, or vou'll be late for school.” ESTHER CRAMER, Age 13. Norwich. Danger From Cigarettes. ‘The boy who has good habits to of- fer for a position has learned to avoid the temptation to use tobacco or alco- holic drinks. He knows that men will not think him manly or trustworthy unless he has learned this. Little bovs are very likely to think it is “manly” to smoke, because the big boys and men do it. If they cannot have real cigarettes, they sometimes uselldry ieaves or ferns instead of to- bacco, and this usually does them no harm: but in the tobacco that is used in cigarettes, there is a poison that is particularly dangerous to boys be- cause the tissues of their bodies can- not resist it as well as if they were grown. This poison soon effects the lungs, the heart, and the nerves, and then the mind, so that bovs who have smoked for a long time stop growing and lose their strength, and sometimes they become insane. “Bit 1 know plenty of successful business men who smoke" perhaps some bovs say. And that is very true, but they are not so healthful. They would be much better off if they did not drink. There is something in this tobacco poison that makes people want more of it the more they smoke. and if we would be safe from this harm, we must try now never to get to liking it. So if any one asks you to smoke or drink, be brave and sensible, boys, and say: “No, T cannot. man of myseit” LEO POLIQUIN, Age 12. Versallles. LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. A Little Place in Canada.

In front of us a river winds and a little fall in the bed of the stream makes a miniature Nlagara with a hushed roar. The golden rays of the sun beautify the scene with a softening tone, which rise abruptly from edge are covered with spots of birch which glves a Targe light effect, darkened by rows of fir ang pine. On the other side of the river's rip- pling surface a dusty road winds along the bank and disappears in the distance. A few unpainted houses break the naturalmess of the quiet gcene. Everything is sflent and rest- ul. L The logs lying thickly in the river only add to the beauty of the scene.
