This i1s September, the harvest month, which ‘regardless of the Black Frost's blight gnd the dry leaf's rus- tle brings promise of exceeding joy. ‘The foliage of September’s woods vies with the Wainbow for brilliance of besuty and the thrill it imparts to the human soul. And T believe you will enjoy the knowledge that the rainbow is the smiling caughter of the storm” as well s “God's Illumined Fromise.” % And Thomas Nelson Page tells us this fs the month of “The Harvest moon— that amler moon which makes more harvests than those gleaned in the fleld of corn.” It is the month of uncomfortable sensations when the wind is blowing trom tho north or the cast or the THE WIDE AWAKE CIRCLE BOYS AND GIBLS DB?A\ITI.II'I‘ temperature is rapidiy falling in de- grees. | Septeinber is the hustiing month, for the cays are growing shorter and the nights longer, storms and frosts menace the farmers as books and the ferule do the youth of our country.

ETORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE-AWARES How 8She Found the Microbe A poor couple from Europe once emigrated to America and lived in the poOT tenemenis of New York City. They had an only child and as fond parents always do they did every- thing in their power for the good of their sou. 4 They sent the boy to school and as he grew up to manhood thev sent him where he could get an excellent ed- ucation end learn a profession. He became a doctor and when he had become an expert in his profes- sion he came home to live with his parents and carry on his trade in that part of the district. The young docfor always carried wigh him a glags which was a powerful microscope adl ,whenever his mother gave him foo dto eat he always care- fully looked it over with his glass. When he thought he caw a microbe he would put it aside and say it was not fit to eat. The ardent health seeker drove his mother tq distraction. Rverything was carefully sterilized and pastuer- ized before reaching the harnds of the Young man, and still he war not sat- isfied. Fe declared he still found mi- crobes. 4 His pror mother would take the f0od and wail and ¢ ry ehowing her neigh- bors what nice delicious food it was and how and when she cooked it. One diy the doctor brought a tennis ball and ‘a new pall which he wished to presetve from micoobes and put it under h:s bed His good devoted mother wishing to buy milk for her son, nappened to look under his bed and Tound the pail. She’ didr’t look Inside and taking the pail she went downstairs to the dairy store. There they poured the milk in_the pail, and the woman went home. She put’ the pail on the stove, and when th- milk boiled ehe poured the milk in“w a dish. At the bottom of the pail she found the tennit ball, and snatching it up eagerly she ran out in the hull caliing her neighbors, “T've found the microbe!

I had had an un- usually busy afternoon <hen my friend called me up and invited me to accompany her in her beautiful new airship for a trip to the moon. July 1€th we made special prepara- tions. We started our jaurney July 18th. On our journey we saw wonderful lang- scapes o picturesque I can hardly des- cribe them. The flowers were at their prettiest, and thesgrass was dotted here anl there with flowers made a sight too beautiful for expression. We sailed over many cantonments where the soldiers were in training to help fight in the desperate struggle in which many nations are engaged. After o short petioc of time, in the pale purple evening, when the glorious THE BUGLE GIRL—by Mary A.

He directed us to a commodious inn where we remained ove. night. In the morning we ate a hasty break- fast for we were anxious to go ex- ploring. At first we went into an open field and there we saw plants such as we had 1ever seen before. We wan- dered al>ng, seeing strange sights, and hearing strange sounds. There were mountains mirrored In calm, | clear, glassy lakes. We reached a Gense wood where we met queer animals that were tame ana could talk. This was the most remarkable thing I ever saw in my life. We reached a magnificant castle in this wood In_which lived the. king of the moon. His servants were”all pig- mies, but he was a. glant. They were dressed in heavy fur coats for it was full moon. In front of this castle there were beds of -iardy flowers. In the day-time they would wither, but at night when everybody was asleep they would use the parlor for a dancing room. The two prettiest roses would sit on the throne pretending to be king and queen and the remainder of the flowers would be thelr subjects. In the morning at five o'clock they would gv back into the garden and fade. This they did every night. “In the morring after brcakfast, the queen showed us a_wishing rose, which she kept in a go'den box She said it was presented to her by a fairy and she couid wish for anything ex- cept soap bubbles. We spent ten days at the castle and then went further into the woods where we reacined a cake house. We began to break pieces of the window first when = we were startled by =n weak voice which came from ar old witch who lived within, She came to the door 'to mvite us in, but knowing the habits of ‘witches we hastened away. Near evening we reached the highest mountain in the moon which Is 20,000 feet in height. ‘When evening came the sun silvered the snowy peak of thy mountains. At the foot of the mo: ns we saw Peter, and his goats, who invited us to_quaff a goktlet of goat's milk. We found the moon everywhere very much unlike the earth, but it revolves around the sun the same as the earth, We kept up a continual round of sight eesing and the monih was gone *00 soon. On the morning of our departure we bade good-bye to the man in the moon ard boarded our airship en- route fo- home. On our return trip we saw the Ger- mans dropping bombs on the beautiful city of Paris. We heard noises and groans and saw fhany Red Cross Nurses bending over the dying and caring for the wounded. Also soldiers fixing artillery for battle. 1 was glad to ook pon such a scene for only a short time, We went flying hume with bullets whizzing around us. I wish you all might visit the moon although the journey is long, and at the prescnt time perilous. LOUISE KOVAROIRICS, Age 13. Ashfora. ) A Day at the Beach One Sunday three weeks ago, two of my’ girl friends and I decided to £0 to Ocean Beach, We took the eight o'clock trolley for New London. Then boarded a trolley bound for Ocean Beach. We hired a bathingsuit and room and Jwent va Il noon. Then we had our lunclp of sandwiches. pie, ~cake. and fruit. . v After lunch we played on the sand fonnd pretty rtones and shells of all colors. We also had our pictures taken two different ways, sitting and standing. At haif past six we start:d for home, ‘We reached home tired but very hap- Py after-a good time.

He lived all alone. So after we heard it was in the pine grove, as they called it, we set. out to find 1it, for we were all very cur- fous to. know where he lived. ‘The next morning we started out and ‘went on and on antil from a distaace we saw s yellow bull standing -beside a tree. We thought we would go on till we saw it move anj then we would all run back, but we got right up_to it and it didn't move. ‘We picked up a stick and hit it and it didnt move. We hit it again and till it didn't move, Its mouth opened 80 we didn’t stop for anything more, we ran back as fast as we could and told the others what had happened: and so they told us he had so many riches that he wouldn't be very safe in a wooder house. 80 that was why he lived in this golden bull that folks would be frightened of it and run away. He lived in peace and died in a pot of grease. FLOSSIE RIDER, Age 16. North Franklin. My Blackberry Trips “ One day my cousin and I decided to go blackberrying. We started at elev- en o'clock and reached the lot at about twelve i’clock. We ate our lunch and soon started picking. At two o'clock we started home, 1 having nicked 5 quarts and my cou- sin 8 1-2 quarts. The next day we started at about six o'clock in the morning and picked until eleven o'clock, when suddenly T struck a nest of hornets and got stung quite badly. I got angry and started home, for T had .7 1-2 quarts and my cousin only had two. = As we came by the swimming pool I decided to ease my etings and so we both_took a swim.

It is very easy to get lost on account of so many roads. ‘When-you reach the park there are benches upon which you may sit and rest. There are also swings which are enjoyed by those who try them. . All sorts of pretty birds may be £6und; znd a large number of deer. Sundays they have a band concert; and sell candy and,ice cream. KATHERINE LEE BURN Age 12 Norgich. The Number Seven The number seven though seeming ly comironplace is very interestinz, and indced werthy of notice. It was formerly a mystical number in the Bi- | ble, and also among the foremost na- tions of oid. In the Bible, the creation of the world tobk seven days. Every seventh vear was known as the Sab- the seven spirits of God. In light, there are the seven pris- matic colors which make up the pure white light. ‘We have the seven worders of the world too well known to mention: seven sleepers; seven wise men of Greece; seven wise mastcrs; Seven Years War; and the seven vears o f Rome. 3 Beside this there the the seven mil- ties seven locks and _the seven Do- ‘ours of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There are other instances where the rumeral occurs, t00 numerous to men- tion. JOHN D. HOGAN, Age 13 Putnam. LETTERS TO UNCLE JED Annie’s Visit to the Country Dear Uncle Jed:—On my vacation I went to my- sunt's farm in Waterford for two weeks and had a splendid time. and every morning the ducis and gan- ders woke me up at 4 a. m. Then I used to dress and get up and after breakfas: I went out and fed the chickens and then I used to go and see if there were any egws. ‘When my uncle would hitch the horse and go to town sometimes I would g0 with him. My cousins and T went huckleberrying one morning. I had my pail about half full when I put my hand in a wasp's nest anl was stung and my hand was all swelled up. When I got home iny aunt put some salve on it. There is a lake about two miles from our place and we uscd to go out rowing. One day while my two cou- sins and T were out rowing we heard a This is the story that 7cok second prize in a sory contest It begins with a reuest from liorothy and John for a story.

S0 one night she appeared to Mary and James in a dream and 70ld them to look under the bed when they waked Up in the morning. Of course, they thousht abou’ that dream at deylight and when thev looked un- der the bed there was a note which inead: “Dear Children: I have watched you for lonz time, and I know that you be- ieve In me, As your reward I am go- ing to make you a present of a car- {pet and a ring.

Good Fairy kept her prom- ise and brought them ont only ‘the ring ana_the but: a-little amp. “Now, children,” she said, first sit ¢own on the carpet and then you must rub the ring and say where you wan: to go while you are rubbing it. This lamp will give ‘you light and will algo keep warm. Have you decided'\where you wish to g5o?" James explained their plans and Good Fairy thought them good ones. “I will give “the ring to Mary,” she said, “and I'm sure that you undérstand that she is to rub the ring and say “I want to go to Burope.” Then when you are ready to feturn she will say I.want to go right home.’ You will find eve:ything all right” and with that she departed. Then (ke children seated themselves on the rug, nd Mary sald, rubbing the ring with all her might, “I want to 8¢ to Burope,” and away they fent. They closed thelr eyes for a while and When they opened them they were sail- ing. up in the sky over the ocean. They thought it was glorious fun, especially when they saw a ship, and they saw many. All_at once they noticed that they ‘were landing. There were many people —Germans—walking along the street, and when they saw the children they thought the enemy had c ome to spy on them from an airship, “Look. look!"” said James, “They are coming towards us with guns. O, let us go home! Mary was terribly frightened. “But I've forgotten what to say,” she sobbed. Then just as the soldiers were get- ting ready to shoot, she fell and ac- cidentally scratched the ring exclaim- ing, as s'.e remembered just in time, “I want to g0 hum The rug rose and the children sailed away out of danger. “Whee-ee,” said James, “rhat was a narrow escape.” “Yes,” said Mary, “and I don't want to go to flowerland, now. We shall be home in & few minutes and there is no reaeon tu cry any more.” Protty soon they were in bed, safe and sound, “And that,” said auntle, “is the end of the story.” “It's good enough to priht,” said Dor- othy, and John agreed with her, 80 they sen’ it for the prize contest.
