I am not acquainted with any children 1 had to spend most o2 my time in the Douse or yard. The first day 1 was there 1 went to'the store and past office’ for my grandmother.

The next day was Sunday and my aunts took me to the bheach. About fifteen minutes after I came home from the beach my mother came for me.

Several turdays ago some girls that are in the club that 'm in decided to have a picnic. My mother took us all up to Mohegan park. We took sand- wiches and a lot of other good things to ecat. We had lots of fun swinging and see-sawing. There was a Sunday school picnic on the grounds also. We played games and had prizes for them. The peacock spread his tail for us. 1 think he is a very proud but pretty bird. Did you ever hear that meacock feathers ring bad luck? Just before it was time to go home the clouds grew dark and it began to thunder and broke up our picnic LOUISE HIGGINS, Age 10. Noryich, Nlagara Falls Dear Uncle Jed: 1In its course the Ni- agara river falls 336 feet, as follows: From Lake Erie to the rapids above the falls, 15 feet: in the rapids, 55 feet; at the falls, 161 feet; from falls to Lewiston, 98 feet; from Lewiston to Lake Ontario, 7 feet. The flow of the Niagara river at the falls equais 12,- 85 cubic feet total flow per minute, or about 213,000 cubic feet per second. Measurements hy the lake survey board indicate the average flow of the river to be 265,000 cubic feet per second, and from records kept a rise in the height water of one foot above the falls by actual measurement raise it 17 -2 feet below. Within the memory of men now living the Falls have receded 100 feet. ALMIRA BERNIER, Age 13. Danielson. The Chinese. Dear Uncle Jed: The Chinese ladies of the wealthy class wear a long robe nf bright colored silk, beautifully embrotd- ered and a great amount of jewel such as pins in their hair, heavy ear- rings, finger rings and bracelets. The dress of the men consists of a loose jack- et or tunic, fitted closely around ther necks, wide trousers and shoes of cot- ton or silk with thick felt soles. The Chinese are very polite to one another. Even after he has grown up to be a man he obeys his parents while they are alive. and worships them after they are dead. Although the Chinese were slow in adopting new ways, they are very clever in doing things in thoir old fashioned ways and are very indus- trious. The men shave off thelr hair except a lock on the crown which they wear in a long braid. Chinese ladies can spl- dom walk well because when they were voung their feet were bandaged so as to prevent them from growing. Thus their feet are terribly deformed. Now these customs are gradually falling in*> disuse. - The Chinese are intelligent and ghilifal. More than two thousand years before our own country was discovered they were civilized people. The Fhiness painted books and made gunpowder long before these Inventions were known 'n Europe. SUSAN M. TERRY, Age 13. Griswold. Peace, Dear Uncle Jed: 1 am telling you a story about Peace. Tn everything peace and harmony are the best thinge. When there is a fAmiiy that figats and quarrels. there is no cVetrfulness in their home at all. It is a great advantage if your family has a peacemaker. Tt is better for gvery- one to agree than to start a quarrel over a trivial matter. A fuss and contusion is easily brought about by one saying “Yes" and the other To have things settled and accomplish- ed quietly, everyone should be willing to work and . vull ‘together.

Dear Uncle Jed: There are very few children whom 1 know that are kind: that is, kind tp animals. We all know that animals have a feeling as well as | we have. Some bovs whip iheir cows as they bring them home at night: others do the same to their d or cats, but there are some children who are kind to them. Most children are kind to their friends, $0 1 need not say anvthing about that, but children should te just as kifd to animals as to their friends. Children should also obey their father When your mother says “Thers are dishes for ¥ou to wash, Lucy.” you should do them at once. but it wouid be much better ¥ you would do them without being asked. It is just the same way with the boys. They should be willing to do anything they can do. Now we have come to truthfulpess: that means we should always teil the truth. I know of a little boy who had hroken his sister's wrist watch.” When sho asked ¥ho did it. he said: “T am sure I would never do such a thing. Then his sister answered: “It might have hannened accidentally.” Then he knew he told a lie. and he hung his head. He was ashamed for what he had done. T hope the Wide-Awakes wiil not tell 2 lie as this boy did. ‘We should always Temember this: Be kifd, obedient and teuthtul. ALICE NYGREN, Age 12. Norwich, R. D. 4. Saring the Bird.

He wanted to go with us so we took him along. The swimming hole was about a mile from our house but we Fot there in ten minutes on our bicycles. We had already erected an old shanty to change our clothes in. We were in swimming in no time. except the stran- ger, Who we noticed was a lirtle timid After a few words from us he had his bathing suit on. He was jumping over when the rear end of the springing board let go.
