Presently we heard a buzz! buzz! and guess what it was? a great big wasp. The children became excited and some of them were frightened. It settled itsell in a corner and we began our studies again. Later on we heard another buzz! buzz! buzz! much leuder than the first, The children did not pay much at. itention to this cry, as they theught it was the same wasp going visiting some other room; but it was really ;nolher wasp about the size of the rst. Meanwhile the wasps were flying. about the room with extreme rapidity. We finished our studies and the noon bell rang so we had to leave the two ‘wasps alone. When we came back in the afternoon what did we see but a nest of baby wasps in the same corner where the first one was. Many children had to leave the room as they were afraid the wasps would sting them. The next morning, out of 42 pupils, 18 _were present! Two men were hired to drive out this unwelcome family.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE- AWAKES. lots of Wide-Awakes will have gar- dens this year and lets talk a little| about the free helpers When you are working in the gar- den. the laws are operating for its benefit, over which yeu have no con- trol, so every garden has its visible and invisible helpers, and what we may do is the least part of the work. The Sun and the Rain and the In- sects and the Birds and Toads are free helpers to be seen, and the Wind is the great unseen worker that dries the earth, brings the rain and by vie- lence may destroy the erop. Even Jack Frost plays a part in the garden in summer time for after the Sun taken up the water in mist to form clouds, and the wind carries it where it is needed and Jack Frost, who is always disputing the mastery of the temperature with the Sun, turns 1he mist into water again heavier than air, and it falls to the earth in rain; | but the Sun's power keeps it from be- coming snow. In the winter months Jack Frost is master of temperature; and in the summer months the Eun is. The Sun pulls the temperature high and Jack Frost pulls it low; and between high and low the Winds arise—the Winds are their children The Winds dry the earth after se- vere rains, and they carry water to Clean Copy. “Stockton!” called, the editor of the Vanceville Evening Press.

One Wednesday ‘my uncle wrote that he was coming next day so my father went for him. Next Sunday afternoon my father and my uncle fold stories, and here is a story my father told: Once upon a time there was a man who had a little calf. Now this calf was fatted and readv to sell. The next day a Jew came along that way and asked Mr. Jones if he has anything to sell” And Mr, Jones said to the Jew: “T have a calf.” “How much fo you ask for it?" said the Jew. Mr. Jones for the calf, So the Jew paid for the said he would come tomorrow for it. “All right," said Mr. Jones. An hour later comes another Jew. “Have vou got anything to sell”” the Jew asked Mr. Jones. “I have a calf to sell,” Jones. How much do you want for ed the Jew. T want five dollars for it,” replied Mr. Jones. The Jew paid, and said, “I will come tomorrow for the calf.” Another two hours passed and one more Jew -come to see Mr. Jones, “Hello!" Anything to sell here?” A calf,” replied Mr. Jones. Tl give you five dollars. “Thats just what I want for it, you can have it!” “I'll come for it -tomorrow.” Chose three Jews had bought calf, That night Mr. Jones killed it and cooked it for his supper. The same night those three Jews who bought the calf met at the sa- Joon. They were asking each other what each one had bought. The first says, “I bought a calf of Mr. Jones.” “Well, T bought a calf from Mr. Jonés also; how can that he?” But the third didn’t wait to tell, but went for the calf; but when he got to d, “T want five dollars calf, and said Mr. e one Mr. Jones’ house he asked for the calf, and Mr. Jones answered, “The calf was sick and I had to Kkill the calf.” The three Jews then went to law. Then Mr. Jones went to a lawyer to ask him what he could do, so that he wouldn't have to pay or get into jail for it. Mr. Jones said to the lawyer, “I will give you a cow if you can help me.” The lawyer said: “When you go to court and when the people ask you why you sold ong calf to three pes ple then give a Whistle. They will think you crazy and push you out from court and you won't have to pay a cent" Next day M court. The Jews were talking, and the, peo- ple in court kent asking Mr. Jones what he sold a calf to three people for, and then ate it himself? But he only would whistle and wouldn't an- swer what they asked him. They pushed him out of court and he didn’t pay a cent. The lawyer saw the man and asked him how is it going to be about that cow, and when are you going to give her to me? But thg man would whis tle and not answer the lawyer, didn't give the lawye ."

We quieted the children down, telling them that the cows would not hurt them.. But they came grazing slowly and very soon were quite near us. We tried to go away from them slowly but the children, who were ter- ribly frightened, kept screaming. which of course drew the attention of the cows and they came to us. They began to push us with their horns and almost knesked us over. We iwere really frihtened by now. and taking the children we walked as fast as we could at the same time keeping off the cows.

One day last summer ] went fishing with my sister. We wént to a« place where we were sure to catch some fish. We called this place “where the two waters meet,” because two ponds join there, My sister and I started out in high spirits. We dug our worms quickly and started out at 4 p. m., knowing that was the best time. We came to our destination and fished for half an hour while every- thing went smoothly. Then we cross- ed the stepping stones and fished on the other side. Now the current was very strong there and I wanted to get a worm. I laid my pole down half on the stones and half in the water. No sooner had 1 done this than I no- ticed my pole began to float out to-} wards the middle. Without thinking, | I made a dive for it and succeeded in getting a hold of it. But glas for me, the stone that I clutched b¥gan to fall together with me as the water was pretty deep I got very wet. My sister pulled me out, and soon T was sitting on the sand, drying in_the sun. As I was wearing a pink middy blouse my sister always refers to it ds the “pink middy bath.” JENNIE SIFSCHITZ, Age 13. Montville. The Stolen Eggs. “Marian,” said_Mrs. Nelson, to her little daughter, “T want you {o go to the store and get me half a dozen eggs. 1 need them to make a cake for Easter." “All right, mother,” said Marian, and off she went. When she came back with the eggs she warned her mother to be careful where she put them, because the Baster rabbit might get them. “Oh! no, Marian!” laughed her mother, “there is no danger of a rab- bit stealing my eg; While this talk was going on the Nelson children's little white rabbit was listening attentively outside. “Tll fool them” he chuckled to himself, and off he hopped to his hole. That very night when Mrs. Nelson went to/the paniry she found, to her great dismay that her eggs were gone. ‘Marian,” she called, here are my egas” “Indeed, mother, answered Marian. “Well, there certainly is some m: tery about it,” her mother said, “un- less the baby could have managed to climb up and take them. “Maybe the Easter rabbit did take them, after all” answered Mawia her mother exclaimed, “but there is only one thing to do, I do not Kknow," dozen more egs: f So off Marian went again, sooner had her mother put away than they were gone. 1t certainly is too bad for we can- not have our cake” Mrs. Nelson re- marked to her husband Easter morn- ing.

The bluebird is an Ameriean bird which begins to nest in the nerthern part of the country in the early spring. It is about the size of a robin. Its head and back are of a rich sky-blue color; the throat and breast are a reddish chestnut; underneath it is pure white, with semetimes a tint of gray. It builds its nest of twizs and grass- usually nests near the homes of peopls and sometimes, If a box is set eut, it will build its nest in it. It is a woen- derful songbird, with & soft. sweet note. The female, which is duller in color than the male, lays five or six pale blue eggs. The male s noted for its courage in protecting the nest and also as an in- sect killer. HELEN COYL, Age 11.
