There is not half as much. said to us about habits when we are gmall as there. should be. & There is not a bad habit on earth that is worth bavirz—not a good habit that js not worth eilltivating. Let's look up the' GOOD HABITS! The Habit of— Early to bedl . Harly out of bed! Eating slow! Being thankful! Being kind! Being prompt! Doing Right! Speaking the truth! c Saying Thank You for kindliness! Seeing good in -our playmates! Stickinie to every task till done! Listening to Cogsclence and heeding it! 3 We have found twelve real good habits which are of the first import- ance all through life, becauso - these alone will make one loved ‘and re- spetted. I shouldn’t wonder if we could find 1% more: The Habit of— Speaking low and clearly! Loving to help at home and else- wheére! ’Being- a-good listener! Always speaking .good words! Of never seeing faults in others! Of never laughing at the uafortu- nate! Of never making fun of poor chil- dren! Of being kind and neat! Of not thinking of tasks or troubles in beg! Ot 'keeping hopeful always! Of being always polite to the aged and to the poor! Of exercising for good health and| red cheeks! Uncle Jed is inclined to think these 24 good habits are enough to make good friends, good neighbors, good practiced. of all his Wille-Awakes. TWENTY-FOUR HABITS may seem like an awful lot to you, but if the habits were all counted up which you would not have less, and they do not seem burdensome. They would not if they were all good habits, There are probably a hundred more g00d_habits than Uscle Jed has n'atgd: and there is a bad habit over against every good ane, 0 you see jt fe important to know what helps and what hinders in life, THE WINNERS OF PRIZE BOOKS. 1—Grace Sullivan of New Lo — Winged Arrow's Medicine. s 2—Alice Johnson of N — Life of Limeoln.

Norwich. An Old Pair of Skates. The ice was thick and Reb, James and David had each a new pair of skates and they were going to have] fun on the ice. On their way they met Harry Wood, who was a poor boy. Harry had an old pair of skates which were quite out of style. The three well dressed boys fun of Harry -and said as they went by: “You will have to make haste if you want to win the rate.” - Harry did not mind their talking, but went on with a smile, as if to say: “Your new skates look good, but when it comes to speed mine will beat them. I'm sure,of that.” There \was a great crowd on the ics that day and everybody was excited. Rob. James and David had &ood luck with their skates. The boys were showing off, but Harry didn't care. Harry knew that they would be in trouble in a short time. He had just sat down to take his skates off when a crack was heard and a’ ery that brought him upon his feet. In the ice was a hole which was made by the people trying to reach the shore first. ‘When Harry looked up he said with. a sigh: “Where are the boys?’ couldn’t see them and he shook like & leaf. : The boys were all safe except Rob was in the water, but nobody wat brave enough to save him. Harry did not even take a breath, but flew like, the wind where the hole was. Harry laid on his stomach and seized Roh by the collar and held him with a good Erip. When James and David saw how brave Hary was they wanted to help him. too! ~With a good pull Rob was out of. the hole. Rob was very glad when he was out of the hole, and he thanked Harry for being so brave and kind to-him. After he was well he liked Harry very much. Rob gave Harry a new pair of skates because Harry had saved his life. Manv times I heard him say to him- self: “Tt is not well to boast” ELIE MENTAZ, Age 12. Taftville. The Sliding Party.

JSETTE MENTAZ. Taftville. \ Where Tom Found His Manners. Tom’s father was 2 rich map, and Tom lived in a large house in the country. He had a pony and many pets, and wore fine clothes. Tom was very proud of all these things his fath- ers money had bought. He began to think thai being rich was better than to be good. He grew very rude and was cross to the servants. Onmce he kicked Bowser, but the dog growled, and Tom was afraid to kick him again. One day when Tom was plaving in the yard, ke saw a boy standing by the gate. He was ragged and dirty, his hat was torn, and his feet were bare. But he had a pleasant face. In one hand he carried a pail half full of blueberries. “Go away from here” said Tofn, running to the gate. “We are rich, and don't want ragged boys about” “Please giye me a drink” said the boy. “If you afe rich, you can spare a drop of water.” “We can’'t spare you anything” sald Tom. “If you den’t go away from here T will set the dogs on you.” The boy laughed and walked away, swinging the tin pail in his hand. *T think I will get some blackber- ries, too,” said Tom to himself, He went out of the gate into-a lane leads ing to 2 meadow where there weré plenty of berries. 3 Tom saw some fine ones growing just over a ditch. He thought he could leap over it very easily. He gave 2 run and a very big jump. The ditch was wider than he had thought, and instead of going over it, he came down in the midéle of It The, mud was very thick and soft, and Fom sank down in it to his waist. . He was very much {rightened, and screamed for help until he was tired. He. began .to think he would have to spend the night in the diteh when he heard steps on the- grass. Looking up, he saw the ragged boy he had driven from the gate, “Please help me out,” said Tom. ‘T will give you a quarter.™ “T_don’t want the money,” said the boy, and lying down flat he held out both his hapds to Tom, and drew him out of the ditch. He looked very mis- erable. - “Who is dirty now?” asked the boy. ~ “I am,” said Tom,-“but T thank you for helping me out of the mire. Ard T'am sorry I sent you away from the te.” “The next time I come, perhaps you will {reat me better. I am not rich, but I am stronger than you, and I think I have better manners.” “I think so, too,” said Tom. : The pext day when Tom saw the boy_going by the ‘gate, he called him tn, showed him his rabbits, and gave Al is over, all Is well ® « * Now 1 —B.
