Frank Brown’s Bravery. One,day little Frank Brown was sent to the postoffice for a letter. When he got there litTie Frankie found a big dog at the door of the postoffice: and was afraid to go in. It was the dead part of the day in a country village, when the stores were locked up for - the dinner hour, and Frank, who was very shy, saw no one to call upon. Frankie was fright- ened, but he meant to do his duty. So he crossed the bridge, walked up to the butcher's and. spent two pennies for a bit of meat and carrled it back to his erfe- ny. The dog was much more willing to eat the meat than to eat poor Frankie. He #ot his letter and went home in triumph. Frankie's father . that night praised his son and claimed that he was.very brave.

Dear Uncl¢ Jed: I thought I would write -and tell you about my experierice huckleberrying. One day last week' my mother and I decided to go berrying. We took my brother to a lot close by some ‘woods where mamma and I picked ber- ries We found quite a few in some spots, We thought we would find more if ‘we went further in the woods. . However, after we got in we had a hard time get- ting out. ‘We were stuck like-the cat's head in the salmon can. Finally we got out with tern c]oth!i and many scratches. ‘We lost courage and started for home, As we were walk- ing through the woods we stopped to get a drink of water from a spring called Indian well. When my brother heard about the Indian well he was anxious to see it, so mamma took him to see ‘it. If everybody had such trouble pick- ing berries as we did the berrles wouldn't be so plentiful in the stores. THERESA PERINGER, Age 11. Norwich. Mary Ellen.
