Along the Congo river there 1s a great African forest, one of the largest and most terrible on earth. There e Imany different kinds of people living st forest, but the strangest perhaps the most interesting is race of little people called pigmies. The men and women are net larzer tl.an a fourteen-year-old boy, boys and girls are very smail indeed. The pigmies are various tynes. Some in this v and tribes have light brown skins, with almost red hair. The black plgmies are generally taller, but not so good lookin The biack pigmies have av 1ws, deep sct eyes and fat 10! The lighter ones have large, round eyes, round faces, well formed figures, and smalil hands and feet, with long, er finzers. Pigmyshoys are not civilized and liv human really more like beasts than l'eings, Tiey have no farms or gar- dens. They live in little ages, and for food, they hunt and dig root tnd other things. Sometimes ! steal corn, tobacco and bananas from their neighbors, and if their theft ia not no often 3o back and leave sking or ivory to pay for the food they have en. Some of the pigmy bovs live in caves, others put un shelters to serve for a short time only, and raove about from place to place. Some eclong to tribe who arrange their dwellinzs in a circle around a cleared in space ind oth- which a chief's house stands, o ers build their huts in rows. The or- dinary hut is not more than four feet in height and four or five feet in dia- meter.' The houses are made in ob- long shape, being made of hranches stuck into the ground and ted to- gether at the top, and then thatched with leaves or grass. The doors are %0 low that the folks have io crawl in- side. Pigmies sieep on the grourd or on leuves spread inside the hut. Some of the huts have two doors, ope in front and one in the rear. Most of the lages have pitfalls and poisoued sticks about them as a protection against their foes. The pigmies use poisoned spears and arrows, and a scraich from one of these will almost cause death. The pigmy lads are skijlful bowmen, shooting arrows so fast that the first one will often not have fallen to the ground before the third has left the bow. They are also cxpert trappers and hunters. They catch all kinds birds. They trap elephants and then with their little shoot the eves of the captives, and then follow them until they fall. Pig- mies hunt birds for their feathers, and telopes and monkeys for their fesh very. "okc and the |" and skin. Pigmies have no language of their own, talking more or less ir the tongues of the neighhor They are droll little fellows, elfish and full of fun. They are fond of singing, and have drums made of scctions of a Lollow tree, covered with skin. They are intelligent and quick to learn but timid and afraid of all other tribes ex- cept their own. They never fail to re- turn kindnesses, but are spiteful when ili-treated, and will wait 1 long time to revenge themselves upon their ene- mies. GABRIELLE BUJAK, Age 15. MansTield Center. The Cat and the Mirror. Pussy is looking at herself in the glass, and is very much astonished. | She thinks it is another cat and tries to touch her,. but only hits the hard glass. This surprises her more than ever, and she iooks behind the glass to see if the other cat is hidden there. But she finds none. She went around in front and saw the cat again. She went around in back of the mirror again and again, but finds not one Pussy. Now ehe is thinking that it is herself. She never looked into the glass again. FLORENCE MORRILL. Norwich. A Visit to Dreamland, Jenny had a doll whose name was Rosabell. Now Jenny loved Rosabell very much, and it seemed as though Rosabell loved Jenny just as much, and perhaps more, for she sat in her chuir laughing and smiling all day long, even when Jenny negiected her. Jenny could not understand why Rosabell would not talk, eat or move. It was a puzzle to her how her doll could look so happy without ever eat- ing, for, if the truth must be told, Jenny had a very large appetite. One night as Jenny was in bed she saw her doll, Rosabell, and a great many dolls, all walking around in the cutest little room she had ever seen! And that was not ali, for she was chat- ting with the other dolls, and finally e, by Etlna. Dn.wlw. of | nll the dolls sat down and had tea! afternoon “was an tea.

Then Jenny told all about her visit and ended up by saying: “And I'm going there again tonight, and if you want me to, I'll take you with me,” to which her mother kindly refused. ANNA KRAMER, Age 13. Norwich. A Description of an Autumn Day. Everywhere Nature is wonderful. Her beauty is in full splendor and ev- erything is bright with gold and red. | The vines and trees shine with red and fold tinged by a high wind or a bit of frost. A golden haze steals over the fields and trees of deep green. The golden corn stands in stacks and rud- dy red apples are piled up under the naked apple trees. Flocks of birds are seen far out in the distant sky flying to the warmer lands. The squirrels frisk gayly about un- der the oak and chestnut trees to gather in their winter food. The cricket’s song is still, but the lustrous haze of gold makes merriness all around. ESTHER SHERSHEVSKY, Age 13. Norwich. The Runaway. One day the postmaste:; around our way had a horse that ran away. His horse became :rightened and ran into our yard and upset the washtub and broke it all up in pieces. Then he ran down by the chopring block and cut himself on the ax while Geing so. Then he ran dewn in the hayfield and broke the barbed-wire with his chest and cut it all up. First off we couldn’t catch him, but we got some cats, then caught him very eas- ily. who ccmes ANNA I, OLSEN, Age 10. Baltic. Oxoboxo Lake in Autumn. This is a small lake between two large hills. They are covered with trees of many kinds. Their leaves are now turning maay _colo being touched by the frost. There zre large farmhouses to be seen in th2 tance. and above all the blue s The most beautiful of all is to Jo0k down upon the lake winding in and out and the trees reflecting in the wa- er. And then at night when the sun is setting it is something wonderful to me to see the iittle valley and the trees around it all golden with the reflection of the setting sun. CATHERINE GOTTSCHALK. Uncasville, LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. Frisky. Dear Uncle Jed: One very cold day last winter as I sat by the window watching the snow fall 1 saw some- thing gray dart from one apple tree into another and disappear behind the trunk. Before 1 had time to speak it reappeared again. It was a large gray squirrel with a very large bushy tail. His winter store of nuts had probably given out and he was hunting for dried apples that had clung to the branches during the winter. He went from one branch to another so fast that I could ardly keep my eyves on him. He went from one tree to another, but couldn’t seem to find anything, so I went to get some nuts for him. I picked out a handful of nuts and an apple and went to give them to him, but as soon as he heard the door, open he scampered off into the stone wall. I put the appie and nuts where he would zet them and went into the house and sat dewn by the window to watch for him. Preity soon he came out and took the nuts and then came back for the apple. After that I fed him every day and he soon became very tame. I named him Frisky because he was so was so lively In the spring he went away, but I hope he will come back again this winter. . ELIZABETH SHAW. Norwich. Saving Every Penny. Dear Uncle Jed: The summer i over and I am very glad that I have done my duty for my couniry during the vacation time. I plant a little garden of my own. I planted every inch of spare land. I had potatoes, sweet corn a1fd string beans. I tried my best to scli my lit- tle crop and for the money I bought thrift mps. 1 didn't spend my money because I have read in the Norwich Builetin that every penny will help win the war by buying thrift stamps.

Dear Uncle Jed: T must tell you about the trip I made to Lebanon not very long asgo, September S8th.' That town is said to be a “Shrine of Pa- triotism,” andthere was a hig patriotic rally going on when I went. The au- tomobhiles were given especialy per- mission to be out on Sunday and we @idn’t see one cingle car without the placard on it. “En route to Lebanon.” There were a great many cars, too, parked in rows and rows and rows— looking almost like an automobile ex- hition. Lebanon is a pretty, quaint, old vil lage, with many historical places. It was the birthplace and home of “Brother Jonathan” Trumbull, govern- or of Connecticut. The reason people call him “Brother Jonathan,” is be- cause whenever Washington was ask- ed some question that wss too hard for him to answer, he uiways would say, “Go ask Brother Jonathan” His house was opened sc that any- one who wished conld go through it. Of course I wanted to. It was a love- 1y old-fashioned home, with fire places, brick ovens, a great big dining room, quaint mirrors, and funny chairs. I sat in Governor Trumbtnll's favorite chair, and also wrote in the guest book there. The war office was very interesting, too, where all the meetings were held in olden times. There were a great many relics exhibited inside the war office, such as the first piano in Leb- anon, old guns and flint locks, quaint cooking utensils, and all kinds of things. There wers thousands of people at uhe rally. The stand where the speak- rs stood was draped with the flags nt all nationalities—except German, of course. There was a band a Lib- erty Chorus, and everybody sang pa- triotic and popular songs, “Keep the Home Fires Burning,” “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Ol Kit Bag, and Smils,” “Long, Long Trail” the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the and gave a cry of del 1 dou-numu..:&um: were see how brave he must be. Governor Holcomb was there, too, and gave & speech. It was a very memorable occasion, and 1 wish that all the Wide-Awakes could have enjoyed it. Lebanon was also the home of Gov- ernor Buckingham, and other promin- ent patriotic men. MARGARET NOSWORTHY. An Awful Scund. Dear Unele Jed: I want to tell you something funny that happened at school last spring. A little boy went out to sharpen his pencil. ?;!etly quick he Icm-ne back again looking very scared Then the teacher asked him what the matter was. “There is something in the entry sounds like a lion roaring,” he said. So the teacher went, to see what it was, and what do vou thi nothing but a humming bird fluttering against the windowpane trying to get out. You can well imagine how foolish the boy felt to find it was only a harmless Iittle bird, instead of a ter- rible lion which had caused his fright. SARAH G. GILL. Jewett City. Doing Her Bit. Dear Uncle Jed: T am a little girl ten years old and live on a farm, apd go to the Town Street school. And 1 am in the Iifth grade. I like school very much. \ 1 have a dog named Speaker. Me and my dog go after the cows every night. We have nine cows and two horses. I went with my father every morning during vacation and deliver- ed milk. I have three War Savings Stamps and a fifty dollar Liberty bond. I read the stories evéry week. This is the first time I have written one. MAY IRENE HA\'SF", Age 10. Norwich, Timmy. Dear Uncle Jed: Timmy was a small horse belonging to Arthur Smith, a b 1 ears of age, Tim was friend and loved his small master. Tim lived on a farm with his master, Mr. and Mre. Smith, Joe, the helping man, and Dick, the pet dog. Dick and Tim were real good friends and both were kindly treated. it happened that one morning Tim was not feeling well, but Arfhur, not noticing this, took his usual ride to the city. ~On quite a steep hill Tim stum- bled, but Arthur being quite clever } with the reins, managed to keep him from falling. The next hill they came to Tim ran all the way down, but try as he might Arthur could not stop him. as he knew well it was not good for horses to run down hills. Tim af- terwards acted quite crazy, for he'd run a while, then suddenly stop, turn around, and start at a gallop. By the actions of Tim, Arthur was not able to stop at the store he ex- pected to, but turned to go right home. After much trouble with Tim, they finally reached home. He was re- warded by his father with three dollars for his cleverness, with which he bought Thrift stamps. ROSE DRISCOLL, Age 11. Norwich. A Noble Animal. Dear Uncle Jed: There was a man who had a horse. This man beat the horse cruelly. One day a war broke out in his lIand. He was made a sol- dier and put aboard a ship to sail to war. As it happened, his horse was to come with him. The first three days were calm, but the fourth a ter- rible storm arpse and all the soldiers were cast into the sea. The horse as he felt the cold water thought of his master. He started to swim around trying to find him when he saw his master slowly sinking un- derneath the waves. Swiftly he rush- ed to his master and got there just in time to catch him. Taking him in his mouth, he forced his way to shore, where some of his friends took them home. When his master got better he gave the horse a good stable and plenty of oats-and the horse lived happily ever after. PAUL DRISCOLL, Age 9 Norwich. Our Visit to the Scidiers’ Convalescent Horre. Dear Uncle Jed: last Monday we took a ear ride out in the suburbs to see the Soldiers’ Convelescent Home. It is under the inanagement of the Interior Denartment of IWashington, and Mrs. Lars, the wife of the Sec- retary of the Intecior, was there to receive us. We caw the downstairs ward, which was furnished with six beds, and we were fold tha® the upstal ward had four. The nurse took us down to see the clubhouse, which was furnished with chairs, sofa nd a Victrola. The day e W out to see the home there t any soldiers, but ten the next day. We left somc books for the soldiel to read and T think thai almost any soldier that goes there will have a good chance to recover, it is such a beautiful place. JANE FELLO . Age 13. ‘Washingfton, D. A Busy Season. Dear Unele Jed: 1 think it is quite a busy season this autumn. Everybody is harvesting their crop. -We have duite a lot of jobs this year, so we'd better now take our time. Last week we were digging some potatoes, cutting cabbage and bring- ing in buckwheat. It tock us about a whole day to do this. I could not help much as I have a garden of my own to work in. I dug up my potatoes, pulled up my beans and shelled them. I got over three quarts of beans irom my garden. T have had encugh work this year in the gardens. Never in my life did I have more. Anyway, I don’'t ham2 any one for it because everybnly is working hard to do their bit—they must! Believe me! My jarents didn't have hardly any rest this yeor, except on Sundays, on any of the holidays, Everbody around cur neighborhood T think is doing their bit. Hoping all the Wide-Awukes are do- ing their bit, 1 close. STELLA GASKA, Age 10. Jewett City. tn the Woods. Dear Uncle Jed: Lucy and Tommy were little twins. They lived in the country and undertook many adven- tures. Amone them, the ors which T am going to 1ell you about i5 the most interesting. One day Lucy and Tommy asked their mother if they could go to the woods. As their mother loved them, and always wanted to make them hap- Py, she gave them permission to go. So they called their puppy and ran along toward the oo When they entered the -voods they were very tired, you may be sure. Lucy began picking mushrooms and put them inte her apron while Tom- my went to hunt for some nuts. Soon Lucy’s voice was heard ringing through the forest. She was calling her twin brother for her apron was already filled with mushrooms. In a little while-Tommy came run- nipg. He seemed to be very excited be- cause he had found a place with hazel- nuts. Before he came to Lucy he the fuel used. SAVE, SERVE BUY W. S. STAMPS had filled all his pockets with them, besides what he cracked and ate. When he told this to his sister she was very much surprised and wanted to 20 to the place at ol Tommy took her ky the nand and in a twinkling there they were. Lucy could hardly believe her eyes. She bade Tommy go home and tell mother about it. Tommy as his sister wanted him to and in a few minutes he was back with a bag and a quart measure, They began picking as fa could and scon they had p' two quarts of nuts, or one How happy they were. They sat down and cracked some. Then they tied the bag after they had emptied the nuts into it, and picked some more to fill their pockets with, Time went by quickly. It was aft- ernoon and Tommy heard the church bell ring for threc o'clock. So Luey helped Tommy to lift the bag on his back. Now they siarted off for home. But what about Pet? ‘Mey forgot about him entirely. Little Luey thought about him just then and be- gan sobbing. Tommy called and whistled. At Jast poor little Pet was heard barking and whining. The two little twins hurried along toward the direction they had heard the sounds. Soon hey came upon Fet who was lyirg heiplessly beside a woodchuck trap. They oxamined him carefully, all the while talking friend- Iy to him, tiil at last they found that his forefoot was Ladly cavght. They tried to pull it out until thex had suc- eeeded, but Lucy g t her fiager caught and began crving. Tomiy soon pulled it out and taking out his handkerchief, ke wrapped it around his sister's fin- ger. It was now high time to complete the jourmey homeward. So Luey emptied the mushrooms out of her apron and in their stead put in Pet. He sesmed (o be quite heavy, but she did not mind that at all. When they reached home grand- mother questioned them =zbout tireir adventure. They to!1 her all about it. But when she heard about Pet she burst intc tears. She at once had his foot bandaged up, made him a bed be- hind the kitchen stove. and fed him with some dogr dainties. A few weeks later Pet was alright, following grandmother everywhere. The children might have forgotten their adventure hadn’t it heen for Pet, whe had a scar left on his foot to the 1 of his days. SUPHIE Jewett City. CENTRAL VILLAGE GASKA, Age 12. Rev.
