My st trip to Mohegan Park was taken last summer in the latter parti of August. We went in an automo- bile and started from Preston at about half past ten or eleven o’clock in the morning, and reached the park about twelve o'clock. Soon after we got there we ate ou~ dinner and then all the girls that went from here, including myself, played on the see-saws and swings. We alsn; watched the different animals and Lirds, but we found the monkeys the most interesting to watch. of :fll There were two monkeys in a and some people brought nuts and can- dies for them to eat. We had more fun that day watch- ing the monkeys fight over the can- dy and nuts than anything else. We left the park between five and six and got home about seven o'clock. We were very tired when we reached home, and almost ready for bed. | ALMOST AS FRESH as though you caught them yourself!

There was gossip in the village of Plainfield Vthat a relic train would come Friday afternoon. May 9th, was later known that it would come at 11.30 a. m. The mill agent closed the mill from 11.30a. m. to 1 p. m. The relic train consisted of three cars. The first was a closed ear, the other two were open cars, ‘covered with can- vas, It was started by bugle call. Then the people were allowed to enter the ain, and see the relics. In the first car were French uniforms, helmets, etc. In the second car were captured German guns, and French guns, a floating mine base, and a great mine. The third car consisted of large guns, machine guns, engineer nontoon, and the fa- mous Hmdenhurg Pill Box, from which bayonets, iit was said that Hindenburg watched the fighting. This box attracted most of the people’s attention. The train left the village at 2.30 p. m. All the people had the sights. NOELLA MERCIER, Age 12.

He walked slowly up to the throne where the queen sat, bowed and handed her the ring. With her hand she gently his hair and said, boy, I will see that you are paid for this,” and, bidding her good bye, he quietly walked away. ‘When he got home he told his mo- ther the tale, and went to bed, won- dering how the queen could ever pay him for such a deed. The next morning he heard the sound of bugles and the clatter of horses’ hoofs, then the bell rang and who entered but the royal herald with a belt of gold for Tom. A light fell in his eyes and he jumped out of bed and it was all a dream. LEONARD STEVENS, Age. 11, New London. stroked “Thank you, my A Turtle. As we were going to school this morning we happened to come upon a turtle in the middle of the road. He was very much frightened when he saw us for 1 suppose he thought we were going to hurt him, so he hid him- self inside of his shell and stayed there until everything was quiet. Then he began to move as fast as possible in the direction of the brook which flow- ed nearby. When the naughty boys saw that he was trying to run away they caught him and were going to throw him against the wall to break the shell be- cauge they were cager to see how it could live inside such a clumsy ab‘u that covers its body. . When I saw what they were going to do my heart began to ache; and I took pity upon the dumb creature who couldn’t protect itself. So I stole it away from the boys and carried it to a place of safety. When we reached school I told the schoolmaster about the matter and he said, “You are a hero. Always be kind to dumb creatures and animals. they can understand but cannot speak. I hope this will teach some of the Wide-Awakes to be kind to all. BESSIE JELLO, Age 9. Yantie. A Mischievous Brownie. There was once a family of Brownies that lived in Mrs. Smith's back vard.

The song that it sings is “Ching, Ching, Chee; ser-vee, swee-sw-e-e, while with his wings and tail out- spread he whirls about, dancing from limb to limb, darting ' upward and floating downward. Its nest is made of leafstalks, thin strips of bark, plant down, usually lined with fine rootlets or tendrils. Its feet from the ground. The eggs are four or five in number and are white blotched and spotted with brown and; gray. The redstart is a beautiful, attrac- Itive and exceedingly useful bird and hoppers and beetles.
