Dear Uncle Jed: I am golhg to tell you about the sheep and the- birds. Don’t Ask Dad— A father and his son were once sit- ting under a tree upen a hill. It was near summer and a flock of sheep were feeding near them. A strang man came along who had.a dog with him. As soon 2s the sheep saw the dog they became alarmed and ran into some thorny bushes which grew near- by. Some of their wool caught.upon the thorns and was torn off. ‘When the boy saw this he was troubled and said: “See, father, how the thorns tear away the wool from the poor shéep. These byshes ought to be cut down, so that hereafter they may not harm the sheep.” As they were spesking 2 bird flew down among the bushes, pickéd off a tuft of wool and carried it away In his beak to 2 high tree. “See,” said the father, “With this wool the bird is making a soft bed for its young in the nest. How comfortable the little ones will be! and the sheep could well spare a2 little of their fleece. Do you now think it well to cut downm the bushes?” “No,” said the boy. “We will let them stand.” “Remember, my son,” said the father, “that we are all dependent on one an- other.” “It seemed to you very hard that the poor sheep should lose their wool, but now you see that without this wool the little bird could not have its warm nest.” Dear Uncle Jed: One day in New Eed- | Baltie. ford my father and I took a trip to Cutty- hunk.

Thé other Jullus Caesar. Caesar_ conquered Gaul, Brittania and all the surrounding coun- fry. At last he decided to attempt to take Rome. So his enemies decided to punish him, but Caesar was too quick At the Read of his faithful soldiers he marched. into Haly and reached the Rub- fcon. Here he hesitated to cross the Rublcon for it meant to declare a war hich would mean for him, power or death. Shonld he take the risk? “The die is cast,” he said, and led his soldiers across. So qufckly he came that Pompey and his followers could not withstand him, They fled to Greece and Caesar became mdster of Rome. But his power was not sure. All who loved the cus- toms of Rome were his foes. Many went to join Pompey, and that famous soldfer soon had an army larger than Caesar could muster. But Caesar did not fear, for he trusted to his own Skill and to the valor of his soldiers. He soon crossed to Greece and met Pompey in battle. Pompey had the ad- vantage, but in the end Caesar was completely victorious. The army of Ris enemies was scatter- ed and Pompey, flceing for safety was slain. Yet Caesar was not safe, for his enemies gathered more armies to over- ‘throw him. More battles were fought, but the great leader was always victori- ous. Once he won so quickly that he sent to Rome merely the words, “I came, I saw,; I conqueréed.” One man, Julius Caesar, was now master of the He Doesn’t Know— My Pet Do@ Dear Uncle Jed: My dog is brown and | white.

It happened that on one day a white man was crossing about ten miles in width: When about three miles on his journéy, his horse stuck his foot in a Zopher hole and broke his leg and the man was obliged to shoot him. As he sat near his horse bemoaninig his loss an Indian came riding by on & young wiry mustang. The white man pulled out Ms six shooter with the command, “Get down off that horse and be quick about it.” The Indian came down with many grumblings. The white man took the horse and rode swiftly to thé town sev- en mileg away, He left the Indian following his lorse's tracks.
