TERESA KURTZ, Age 13. Yantie. The Twins. 3 Dear Uncle Jed: I am sending you a story I havs written about the twins. Once there- were twins whose father and mother were dead and they had to work for their living. One day 2’ man came to the house where they were staying and asked them their names and where were their mother. The boys said their namgs were Jamcs and John and our mother and father are dead. The man asked them If they would lfke him to take them to a kind lady whe would give them a good home, where they would not have to work so hard. e told Mrs. Jones, one of his neigh- bors, about the twins and she said she would be delighted to have them. So he took the twins to their new home. Mrs. Jones asked them if they had any money and they told her éach one of them had §100 they had saved from working to go to_college when they were older. Mrs. Jones was an old lady and they did things to help Ler. They would buy her cady and ice cream. They had good times playing hide and seek and tag. ANNA C. HERR. Bréoklyn. Decelving his Mother. Dear Uncle Jed: I have often read your Wide Awake circle, in which I found some e stories and letters that have forced me to write this one. Once there was a little boy in my grade who never knew his lessons. One day he came home and said: “Mother, T have 100 per cent. in my exam: The mother, very proud, answered: “That's nice; I'm proud of you. -In what iesson did you get it?” The little boy, hesitating, said: “I—I had 50 in spelling, 30 in arithmetic and 20 in geography.” & After this the mother was not proud and did not believe her litie son any more. g EVANGELINE BELLEFONTAINE, Age 12. Baltic. - The Pilgrims. Dear Uncle Jed: The king of England ‘wanted all the people to go to his ciurch. There were many peovle who did not like its forms and ceremonies. They Were Puri because they wished to. purify the church. There was ‘another class of people who wished to establish a church and leave the English chu & . They were called Separatists, 3 In a small village named Scrooby the people tried to establish such®a _clurct They were spoken of as rebels and they were hunted down an thrown into pris- | managed to o to Holland. | They stayed in Holland 12 years. They were growing up speaking Dutch. They. wisked to makt homes in the new religion. They weré then called Pilgrims because they wandered around. The Pil- grims were poor, but they were ready to Drotect their religion. | After gelting money on hard terms, they started from Plymouth, England, on Speedwell had a leak and had to return. ‘The Mayfidwer with 100 peoyle siarted oft alon: fter o stormy voyage, they anchored in Cape Cod bay, November, 1620.
