The early ancestors of England I the Rhine to the. peninsula of Jut- land. They were divided in three tribes, the Saxons, dwelling near the Elbe; the Angles, inhabiting the southwest part of Denmark; the Jutes, extending north of the Angles Jutlard. How far into the interlor these tribes lived, no one can tell. They lived in small tribal or fenily settlements, sur- rounded by wild moors and dense for- ests, which they peopled with mon- strous creatures, and by -the stormy northern ocean also filled with shapes of shadowy fear. Whether from sitperstition or from the difficulty and rougheess of the country, these people sesmed not to care to live far into the interior. They lived mainly -along the coast. When spring unlocked their froz- en harbors, they pushed ot their boats to seek adventure and search for booty. They would sometimes open a feud with some tribe, or harry monasteries along the English comst, their future home, These men delighted in bloodshed, and plunder, and were muth: given to _ and cleasy . deep drinking: but, nevertheless were 8o even the boys in the attic could| centiive to blame or praise.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE AWAKES, Uncle Jed would inform the Wide- Awake gardeners that the reason there seems to be more pests in the garden now than ever before is because there are fewer birds and it for a truth, “If there were no man could not live on the earth.” The birds are of many classes, scav angers, noxious weed-seed-eaters, in- sect exg-NMESRE Caterptiiar destroyers, beetle consumers, “moth catchers, and the fiy and mosquito enemtes.

EVA ALPERIN, Age 16. Mansfield Four Corners. Rice. Did you ever hear the story of the way in which rice was first grown in South Carolina? . Well, away back in the olden times there was no rice growing in South Carolina until a man came to live in Charleston, who had lived in a ‘coun- try where rice grew. His name was Thomas Smith. He had noticed that there was a great deal of wet sofl in Carolina and wet soll was the kind for rice. 80 Smith often wished for rice seeds. And his wish was granted. One day a wrecked ship whose cap- tain was Smith’s friend, gave him a bag of rice which he planted in his garden. So it was that.Carolina be- came,a rice state. JOHN SHEA, Age 13. Norwich. The Red Cross Society. War would be even sadder if there were no one to see that the wounded were properly taken care of. Florence Nightingale, a wealthy [Engiish glrl, fully realized this, so established nursing as a profession for women, One winter she visited a_London hogpital; she was horrified at the un- sanitary conditions of it, so determined to devote her life to hospital work. Then she spent some time studying in_Europe. When the Crimean war broke out she was called by the British govern- ment as the first woman to enter a British military hospital. She proved to be a real angel of mercy to the sick and dying. But her. work did not end ‘at the Crimean war. - Her example inspired Henri Dunant, a Swiss gentleman, with the idea of an international or- ganization to sarry on the work she had begun. Seeing that one nation could not do this work alone, he -call- ed together a council of 14 nations at Geneva, Switzerland. In 1364 an international treaty gave to the world the soclety of the Red Cross. The flag of the soclety is that of Switzerland reversed, a red cro: on a white field, Its motto is “Hu manity and_neutrality,” which means that its members care for all, regard- less of race or treed. All this took place in Europe. Here in America it was Clara Bar- ton who introduced the Red Cross. She saw what good It did in Europe during the war of 1870. Largely through her efforts, the Geneva treaty was signed by the United States and the American Red Cross was estab- lished. 7 OVILA BLANCHETTE, Age 14. Danielson, t t r it Our Graduation.

It caused a great deal of amusement besides being instructive. ~Cornmeal muffins were made. Last of all, the essays were read and the diplomas awarded. My essay was on “Choosing a Vocation.” After this we collected our food that we had exhibited and went home, MILDRED GRANDY, Age 13. Yantic. An Autobiography of a Quarter. My first owner was a little girl who was_very proud of her. country. Her mother said she ought to buy a thrift stamp. with me. 1 wondered and said to myself: “Tll watch and see what it is.” 80 watched. She came up to a man in a team and said: “I want a thrift stamp.” He gave it to her and I saw it was a mere piece of green paper with something written on it, and poor little I was handed over to the man. Later I found out I was going to help my Uncle Sam, who is in war with a man called the kaiser. United States wants us to help it. After a while a man in a gray suit came in and, seeing me on the table, came over and looked at me and said “Who would think that a little quar- ter would help the government?” Then he held me and said I was made in 1901, 1 felt very proud of myself. Then the man put me and some other quar- ters in his pocket and went out. When he took out his handkerchief I fell out in the gutter. 1 wanted someone to pick me up, because I was being walked on and run over so many times that I was already bent. d Pretty soon a ragged child came and pickea me up and was so delighted that I was glad. The child ran to the store‘as fast as she could. The storekeeper sent me to the door where a man was waiting for me. Afterward it was said if not for me & man would have been arrested. Then a man took me to a larse safe where I.stayed all the while. LENA SCHWAITZBERG, Age 13. Eagleville, Daffydowndilly. Once there was a little boy named Daffydowndilly. His mother sent him to a very strict schoolmaster, Mr. Toil. The lessons were ve:y hard. He did not like Mr. Toil, so he decided to run away. He left Mr. Toil the next morn- ing. On his way he met a man going in the same direction. The man asked him why he was going away. Daffydowndilly did not tell him a lie, but told him the truth. On and on they walked till they came to eome haymakers who all looked like Mr. Toil; but the man told Daffydowndilly that they were Mr. Toil's brothers. Next they came to some carpenters at works, next to some musicians, next to a fiddler. “They all look like Mr. Toil” said Daftydowndilly. “But,” saild the man, “they are all Mr. Toil's brothers.” Daffydowndilly said it was “all Mr. Tolls in this world.” - And next they came to the same old school with the old Mr. Tofl in it. This story teaches us no matter where we go, we shall always meet Mr. Toil; and Mr. Toil means work. LEO POLIQUIN, Age 13. Versailles. f The Forests of New England. In the days of early settlement most of New England was covered with forests. One of the first products sent back to England was lumber, Much of the wood has been cleared away, but in some- places where it is too steep and rocky for farming there are still large tracts of forests. - There are large forests in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Stand- ing on the summit of Mount Katahdin you can see nothing but wilderness in all_directions. - Winter is the busy seagon for cut- ting in these wildernesses, for the swamps are frozen and the boulders are covered with snow. About_fifty men make a lumbering camp. They go forth and chop down the trees and trim off’ the limbs, Then they are hauled to the streams’ whers in the spring they are floated down the rivers to the sawmills. The New England forests supply much lumber, but no as much as for- merly. Forests have ansther impor- tant use. . Where the forests have been destroyed the rivers rise rapidly after a storm and rapidly decrease; and of- ten there is not encugh watér to run Fry | the factories. _ KATHARINE TAYLOR, Age 13.

Hundreds of these brave women have gone to France to com- fort the dying and wounded. Many hospitals are located near the firing line, and many a German shell falls around, even close to the nurses, but they know no such word as fear. Nurses most possess different quali- ties, They must be well educated, fearless and must know what to do in an emergency. Before a-lady be- tain examination. There are many rich ladies in France who, besides being nurses, have given their large houses to be used as hospitals, and they themselves care for the wounded. A certain rich French lady who is a Red Cross nurse trained several ‘dogs She has taught them to bring back hats of the men’' and then, with the dog as her guide, she herself goes to the men. ‘Don't you think this is a fine thing for a dog to do? He, too, it seems, is doing his bit for his country. The Red Cross nurses are a great service at the present time. I do not know what we would do without these brave and noble: women, MINNIB MOPSIK, Age 14. Norwich. Rob and the Panther. Rob Norris lived on a western farm in the backwoods. He was a lad of 12, brave and_fearless, with the sturdy spirit of the.pioneer. He lived in a cabin which was situated in the bot- tom of a valley. ‘On a clear, frosty morning, when the snow was frozen to a hard crust and the lake a sheet of ice, Rob strap- ped his skees on to his feef and taking his gun in his hand, climbed the hill anq entered the woods. As he walked, whistling “cheerfully, he thought he heard something move in the bushes. | 1% He turned cautiously, but could not see anything, so he went on walking. Still he thought something was fol- lowing him. He looked and saw it coming. What was it? He looked again and to his horror he saw a pan- ther! Unconsciously he turned around and the skees began to go. backward. He wondered how he would get his skees off, and get into the cabin. If he stopped to get them off the pan- ther would pounce upon him and tear him to pieces. He trieq to slip his foot out of the strap, but just then he came to a stop. The skees bumped against the cabin and his feet slipped out of the straps. Just as that happened he jumped up and opened the cabin door and got in, shutting the door quickly. He sprang to a window, opened it and saw the panther spring at him, should be come ou) through the door. e leveled his gun and taking aim, shot—without success. He tried again ang the panther fell dead. When Rob skinned the beast he spread out the skin. It was one yard and a half Jong and two feet and six inches widel He sold it and received $11 for it. ISADORE ALPERIN, Age 11, Mansfeld Four Corners. Peanuts. Peanuts are grown in the states of Georgia and Tennessee. The nuts are planted i May. They are planted. in hills or rows, which are plowed and hoed to keep out the weeds. - They are harvested in the fall snd left in the fleld for two weeks to ry. Then they are taken to a fanning mill which fans off the dirt. They are then put in bags and shipped to Nor- folk, the chief peanut market in the United States. From here they are shipped to the northern and western states and to Burope. JOHN FOX, Age 12. Norwich. y: Mamma Took the Hint. A little maid came down to dessert at a dinner party, and was seatea next to her mother, who, however, be- ing busy talking. to her guests, omit- ted to give the child anything to eat. After some- time the little girl, un- able to bear the negligence any long- er, with sobs rising in her throat, held up_ her plate and said: “Does anybody want a elean plate?” HAROLD ANDREW, Age 8.

Into one of the ruined villigés of France, razed and desolated by the Germans in their. retreat, came one day-'a party of the “Men in Gray,” the Friends, or Quakers of England, who, altho their religion will not per- mit them to fight, are spending their strength to restore the ravages of fizhting, 2 In that Jl2gs Hvad Merla who, in the pleasant days before the War, héd lived happily with her father and mother, her old grandmother and baby brother in a comfortable, red-roofed cottage. Now, the father was at the front, the cottage was burned and the lonely, frightened, half-starved family of four had taken refuge in the corner of a cellar. When Marle saw the “Men in Gray” she took courage. She had heard of the wonderful things-done by those quiet men with the red star and the black star on their sleeves. More- over, she was rich! She had 6 sous, and was, therefore, in a position to undertake a real estate negotiation. “Maman,” she said to her mother, “would not the ‘Man in Gray' build us a cottage for my 6 sous?” “Non, non” said the mother. ~ ~ But Marie persisted. “I will ask them.” she announced. . “You must not trouble them. They would laugh at you,” the weary, sad mother told the little girl, but Marie had the dauntless spirit of the women of France, and she was tired of the dark, damp cellar, where grandmother coughed all night, and where there was no_furniture; only rags to lie on. So. with her 6 sous tight in her hand, she stole forth and sought the “Men in Gray.” “Sir,” she said to the one who met her, “could you build a cottage with a living room, kitchen and bedroom for grandmere, maman, my brother and me? Could you do it for 6 sous? See, T have the money.” £he opened her hand and showed the coins. “Is it enough?” : The tall Friend never smiled. “Quite enough,” he said. “In fact, I think it can be done with 4 sous. We will} build it at once” Marie got her cottage, a comfortable shelter with beds and all necessaries | in it, and when everything was com- plete, the “Man in Gray” collected the 4 sous with all the formality of com- pleting a large transaction. The Faith That Brought the Rainbow. The eighteen years of Mary Burton’s | life had been happy years.

To Mary's words of 'sympathy, Miss Christie said: “Yes, it is a poor time to be deprived of one's earnings, but I can be glad it is not my right arm which is broken, I can do many things with it. which I could not do with my left.” “men she went on to she tried in order to help herself.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. School War Exercises. Dear Uncle Jed: T will tell you how we show our patriotism at school ev- ory week. We have a war programme and do patriotic work. We first sing patriotic songs, Amer- the Red, White and Blue, the Star Spangled Banner and also we have to memorize the bugle calls of the U. S. army. After these the small children snip soft white cloth, which is put into pillows made for the soldiers. The thirl and fourth grades make joke books to be sent to the soldiérs fo read and feel a little happier. The jokes are cut out of magazines which our teacher brings to school and they are pasted into little notebooks. On the outside we draw nice pictures which are used for covers. The larger boys make gunwards, if they make enough of these they canm belong to the Junior Red Cross. | There are’ four large girls in our| school who are knitting instead of isewing, as we were going to. We knit- ted three face cloths and are knitting four-inch squares now. We hemmed khaki colored handkerchiefs and hem- med some bootees also. All the women on_ Wormwood Hill are knitting things for the Red Cross. It we get along with our knitting we become members of tha Red Cross. We help the government by buying thrift stamps. We bought seven thrift stamps, Nellie and I. 1 am going to buy ‘them all the time. Ths first one T earned by washing the floor in the schoolroom for'my teacher, and I shall wash quite a few times more because 1 wash it once every month. - We shall ‘buy two this week. I hope we all will try to help this war to be won in. all the different ways we can by saving food and many other ways, SOPHIE MUSIAL, Age 13. Eagleville. Two Trips.to Hartford. Dear Uncle Jed: 1 write you about my two trips to Hartford this winter. ‘When we had our Thanksgiving va- cation from Thursday to Monday. on Wednesday my father waited till I came home from school and we took a saw and an’'ax and we sawed and split .wood, Then we began to pack up the wagon and we got through about 12 e'clock. So we harnessed the night with a lantern on the wag- on and one under the blanket. During the night it was snowing. When we came to Bast Hartford 1 was still dreaming as if in.bed till all . of a sudden I saw a bear jump into my bed and I jumped up and instead I was sitting in the sea® and my fa- the double team and started through ! “I must go to Hartford tomorrow.” So I took an ax, ‘went into the wood, and made a pile of logs. Then I weni home, took the horse, brought it to the woodshed, and worked till night. As I sat taking a rest I asked my fa- ther if I could go to Hartford, but he said that I must chop wood. I began to laugh, and ke got angry and went out, but when he saw ail that wood he turned happy, came in- to the house smiling, and said: “For that surprise you may go.” I was as kappy as I could me. We started out Wednesday morn- ing, passing Willington, Tolland and Rockville instead of Mansfield Depot, Coventry and Bolton Notch. We reached” Hartford at night and went to the stable. Thursday we were in the street and sold nothing till my father went away &nd customers began to flock. I sold seven dozen ésgs and got three and one-half dollars before my father returned. Friday no one bought anything till night. Saturday we rode home and I saw many queer animals and accidents. In one of the accidents an automo- bile tipped over, gasoline began to l2ak out, tires were falling. off and two men were tumbling out. I have already read nearly all the Looks in school and would like to read yours, but I would rather help my country so if this letter wins a prize 1 would rather have a thrift stamp than a book. ISADORE RIBEN, Age 11. Eagleville. Daniel, Dear Uncle Jed: It pleased Darius to set over the kinzdom one hundred and twenty princes, which should be the whole kingdom. There were three presidents: of whom Daniel was first; that the kingdom should have no trou- ble.

Some of the men saw him and went to tell the king. The| King listened to everything and said he was very much displeased and told them to bring Daniel before him; ana they obsyed and cast him in the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, “Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.” Then the King went to his palace, and passed the night fasting—neither did they bring any music to him, so his sleep went from him. He arose very easly and went in haste to the den of lions. When he came to the der, he cried with -a la- mentable voice unto Daniel. The king said to Daniel: “O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able.to deliver thee from the lions?” Then sald Daniel to the king: “O King, live forever. .My God hath’sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him _innocency . was found in me; and also before thee, O King, have Idone no hurt.” Then was the king exceeding glad for him and commanded they should take Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. YETTA LEVINE, Age 12. Colchester. My Vacation.
