KATHARINE TAYLOR, Age 13.- Norwich Town. A Belgian Child’s Story. When the war broke out in Europe, the kaiser informed the Belgian peo- ple that he had made war on France, and if .they would allow his army to pass through their country in safety he would not make war on them, but it they ywere not allowed he would rush troops' to the border and push his way through. The government of our people answered at once saying that they would not allow his troops to pass. The kaiser at once rushed his troops to the border, and attacked several forts, some of ‘which were Fort Lonsen, in which General Leman had _his headquarters. Fort Flemelle, Fort Hollowne, Fort Fleron, Fort Chaudfon- taine, and Fort Embourg. The Kaiser sent the message so quick that the people were caught unprepar- ed and so he had to fignt a hastily pre- pared army. RODNEY R. CARLYLE; Age 12. Uncasville, How to Keep Young. Expect a good, long, useful life. Hold young thoughts persistently. Simply refuse to grow old by count- | ing your years or anticipating old age. Keep in the sunlight, nothing beau- tiful or sweet grows or ripens in the darkness. Avoid excesses of all k'nds; they are injurious. The lonw life must be a temperate, regular life. Never look on the dark side, take sunny views of everything: a sunny thought drives away the shadows. Be a child; live simply and naturally and keep clear of entangling alliances and complications of all kinds. Don't live to eat, Jbut eat to live. Many of our il's are due to over-eating, to eating the wrong things, and to ir regular eating: o Don't let anything interfere with | your regular hours of work and rest,} but get plenty of sleep, especially what is called “beauty sleep,” before mid- night. Kecp husy: idleness Is a great friend of age, but an enemy of yvouth. Reg. ular employment and mental occupa tion are marvelous youth preservers. "W Close All Day Todsy - Independence Day Take rezular exercise in the open air every day in all weathers; walk, ride, row, swim or play; but whatever you do, keep out of doors as much as possible.

Paper Making. And who would ever have thought of making paper from wood? Well I do not know the man's name, but T know where he got the idea. It was from a little wasp building her nest in the early spring. The man saw her busily at work on a single piece of wood, the window sash, maybe. She was tearing away tiny strips no long- er than a hair. These she gathered in- to a little ball with her feet, and flew away with it to a flat stone near by. Then she commenced chewing the bits of wood, and they soon became moist, soft pulp. This she spread out on the stone and began to walk over back and forth in’order to make it very smooth and thin. It took patient little wasp a long time to do this, for you see a wasp’s foot is not very heavy. Back and forth, back and forth she went and at last she was rewarded for her labor. The little sheet was smooth as silk and thin as gauze. his sheet she fastened to the limb of a tree and then began to_make an- other in the same way. When this was done she folded it neatly and smoothly over the first. Then she made another and another, folding each care- fully over the last so that they looked like the petals of a rose. She kept on making the sheets in this way until the nest was large enough. wasp could wish. And so. it was by watching this lit- When all was done, With a hole at the bottom for a doorway, it was as fine a little house as any a Dutch warship came over to Amer- ica‘and sold twenty negro slaves to the people. In New Amsterdam the patrons had all the slaves that the slave traders could conveniently let them have. hundred and fifty years from the time slavery began one-sixth of the population of "the colonies were ne- groes. In 1807 the importation of slaves was prohibited in America, In 1819 the question whether slavery should be_ permitted on the land beyond the Mississippi river. In 1781 congress shut out slav- ery from the Northwest Territory and now the people wondered whether it would be shut out of the Louisiana Territory the same way. The north opposed the extension of slavery west of the Mississippi be- cause they said it was like a farmer who had pulled the weeds off of an old plot of ground and planted them over a new plot. The south on the other hand had had slaves so long that they thought they could not get along without them. The side that had the most states had more representatives in congress. Slavery was. dividing the country into two parts, the north and the south. In the north the people devoted their money and labor to making cloth and other goods. For this reason they were opposed to free trade. While in the south they devoted all their strength to raising rice, cotton and to- bacco, and for this reason they wished free irade for things they didn’t man- ufacture. When Missouri wished to enter the Union as a slave statg the south urged the measure with all its might and the north fousht against it with equal determination. When two sessions had passed with many angry debates Hen- ry Clay of Kentucky managed to per- suade congress to make a_compromise. The compromise stated that Mis- souri should enter the Union as a slave state and ail the other states formed out of the Louisiana Territory north of the parallel of 36 degrees 30 minutes were to enter the Union as free states.
