We saw what théy call sugar bush, where they make maple syrup in the spring, and Wwe brought several cans home with us. We also brought some nice honey. There are lots and lots of mountains out there. We went over the top of the Moosic mountain and crossed the Hudsen river twice. We saw lots of coal and coal mines, and a great many grand sights. We had a thunder storm every day or night while we were there. One girl’ I saw was Eva Gregory, and then we went to Scranton. I met another girl whose name was Romaine Dolling.

There was once upon a time a greedy fox, who, in the course of his travels, came to a beautifyl garden where he be- held all kinds of trees laden With juicy fruits The fox rubbed his stomach at the sight of it. But a very high wall surrounded the garden. The fox walked around and around in search of an entrance but found only a tiny opening in the wall. This was too small for his big body. “How shall I get in” he in. ed into the garden. He leaped for and ate until it seemed he would burst. fine fix,” said the fox. “There is only one way out for me to escape, and that is to fast until I become thin once more.” The fox fasted for three days and after much pain made his escape. When he was outof danger he looked back at the. garden and said, “Garden, garden, you are indeed cbarming and.tempting! But of what benefit are you to me. What have I now for. all my suffering and cunning? I am just as lean now as I was when 1 entered your walls.” It is even so with man.

A Flemish Dog and His Two Masters. Patrasche was a Flemish dog. Before be was fully grown he was bought by a tinware peddier. who made him draw a cart full of pots and pans. It was fortunate that Patrasche was very strong, otherwise he would have died under the heavy burdens, the severe lashings, the hunger, the thirst, the blows with which the peddier repaid his hard work. _One day, the dog was wearily drag- ging his heavy load when for the first time in his life. he staggered and fell. His master gave him the only medicine he ever administered to him—kicks and oaths and blows with a club—and final- ‘ly left him beside the road to die. After a time ther¢ came along an old man, bent and very feeble. He looked at the dog. found that he was still alive, and carried it home. The old man tend. ed him with so much care that sickness gave way to health, and Patrasche final- ly stood up on his four stout legs. He Seemed surprised to hear no curses and to feel no blows from his new master. The first day after the dog pot well and strong he watched the ol man as he started off with his milk cans. The next morning before his master had touched the cart, Patrasche walked to it and placed himself between the shafts. At length the old man allowed the dog to draw the cart, and never did a dog go more joyfully to play than this animal went to his daily task. DIANA DOYON, said Jack, “do you want to see me make a circle in the ice? Off he started, but he was well mistaken, for he fell in. He Bill heard his cries they ran to his res- cue. He was heard to say on the wa home, “No more skating for me.” EDITH M. DEVIF, Aeg 1. Bridgeport. Esther’s Dream. Last Saturday when I was walking to the, store 1 met Esther, who told me about a remarkable dream she had the night before. She thought she was coming along the sidewalk when there was a hole in which the men were about to put coal into the celiar. he didn't see the hole and fell through. She felt herself going quickly and awoke with a start, to find it was only a dream. After she finished telling her story we both laughed and Esther said she was glad it was not a real experience. I told her when she had another dream like it to invite more of her friends to ens joy the fun. We then parted after Es- ther promised she would. ALICE CYR, Age 10. Norwich Our Sunday School Pienic.

Norwich. all (he children of the little school were on their way to play and studies. Al- most every child carried a small envel- ope in his or her hand, * In this merry crowd were Rosemary | Gray, ‘Ruth Crown, and Raymond Crane. Rosemary was short and pretty. She had dark curly hair, brown eyes, and a smail mouth. Her chum, Ruth, Wwas a little taller and had light curly hair and light blue eyes. Raymond Crane was about twelve years of age a years or two older than either girl. His face was covered with freekies, and his hands and feet were so large he never knew what to do with them. He admirea both girls but liked Rosemary the bet- ter. All the children had by this time ar- rived at the schoolhouse. They marched in sinzle file to the front of the room and all put their valentines in a large box, then went to their seats, After the roll call the teacher went to the box and as she picked out the val- entines and read off the names, the girl or boy to whom it belonged would step up_and get it. Rosemary received many valentines, | but the one she prized most was a great big one, all paper lace, and little red hearts all over it. Tn one corner were the initials R. C. After school she went to her girl chum, Ruth, and thanked her for the lovely valentine she had given her, but Ruth only smiled for all the time the valentine was from Raymond Crane. He had been smiling all through the exercises of Valentine's Day because he thought of the end of school when Rosemary would come up to him and thank him for the valentine. Then he would ask her if he could take her to the valentine party at Sophy Bean's house. But the fun was all spoiled now, because he had put his initials on the valentine instead of his full name. Raymond went home and nearly ecried his eyes out. Next day at school he was laughed at and teased about it. He knew who was at the bottom of it now, It was Ruth Crown. She had told him that none of the other boys ever put their names om, only their initials, and A sStrange Hog. During the Revolutionary war, a guard was sent out on duty. He was to guard for three hours and another would take his place. When the three hours were up. the other guard went to his duty and found the first guard dead. The guard ran and cailed the colonel and the colonel told the guard to shoot whenever he heard a moise. The guard said that he would shoot no matter what he was shooting at. So the guard went about his duty. J It was about the second hour and the guard thought he heard a noise and looking around he saw a pie. He thought it would be foolish and he would bs laughed at if he shot a pig. So he did not shoot the pig. A little Wwhile afterwards he ‘thought he heard another noise like that of a man. Looking around he saw the pig raise a knife and was about to strike when he shot and killed him, He call- ed the general and the general said it was not a hog but a disguise of a hog. The general said later that it was an In- dian and the guard got a medal for kill- ing the Indian. STANISLAW FRONACZEK, Age 13. Taftville. At Atlantic Beach.

They asked him how old he was and he told them his age and after answering many questions they took him. He enlisgted for the United States infantry to go overseas as soon as possible. He wént home and told his mother. She righed, but after a while she recognized what it meant to go and do his duty. So a few davs later Dick s2id goed-bye to his' mether and went away. He was ready to start when someone handed him a note, It came, from his dear mother and said: “I wish you a lucky voyage and I will pray, day and night. for your safe return home.” After a long voyage of six or seven days they arrived in France and they were ordered to be sent to the trenches the following morning. After a good walk of abont five miles they pitched their tent and went fast asleep. The next morning they got up and started to walk again. After a good walk again of about 15 miles they reached the trenches and started to fight. They had mud up to their knees. After a month or two he was shet in the arm and was carried to the hospital. He said: “They have shot me but I have killed about thirty of them horrible huns.” Wie was sent home and when arrived his mo- ther eried with haj kY Age 14. A Trip to the Country, Car! was a poor lad who lived In New York with his feeble old grandfather. Sometimes he blacked boots and at other times sold papers. He did not earn much by this, and when he did not have a good day it meant that he and his grandfather ‘would have to go to bed hungry. ‘When Carl made his daily round he thought, “What if dear old grandfather should die?” Tt was he who kept Carl from being what most street boys are. At length the old man could not see or hear, but the lad’s love for him now be- came stiil gremter. He cared for the old man as if he had been a child. Carl knew the old man couid not live long, but when died it seemed as if he could never be growled. He scratched his head and then exclaimed, “I have it, I will fast until my body can squeeze " So he fasted three days and crawl- joy Suddenly he grew pale with fear as he thought of the keeper of the garden. “Suppose he should see me?

It was the first time he had ever ridden in cars, and he enjoyed every moment. When they reached the farm Mr. Hall's wife lpoked up surprised and said: “What have we here?” and she smiled kindly at Cari. “Oh, just a lad I brought up to show the farm to,” szid Mr. Hall. “He has never been in the country before.” When Carl told the woman his story she eried and said: “Perhaps if he is a good boy we might keep him for a while.” So the next morning at breakfast Carl was told that he could stay a week.
