Mother wrote it to me as kindly as possible and the children wrote too, They told me all of the good times they were going to have. It made me very sorry and I made up my mind that I would go home. Long before night was over I dressed myself as quickly as possible and sltp- ped out. It was not far to the station and it was not a great while before I was seated in the train and gliding out into the blackest morning I ever saw. Not a soul te speak to. I had plenty of money.

The First Thanksgiving, Dear Uncle Jed: Living in th try I can realize the meaning of Thanksgiving more than some othsr boys and girls. I indulge in the same oocupations and can more easily real- ize the hard<hips which the Pilgrim: endured. I will now teTi you N of the first Thamksgiving as I Dleture it. coun-) During the summer days getic Pilgrims toiled in the They hoed and weeded them g0od crops in the fall When the summer days were drawing| to an end the Pigrims began to ga-| crops When the harvest-! ing was completed, they found they had| plénty of food for the coming winter. One day in the month of November, Governor Bradferd said, “We ousht to et aside a dav to thank God for h.s goodness in giving U our crops.” The next week was spent in cooking, hunting and gathering nuts and digging elams. The men and Indians went| hunting while the women and children| were diggineg clams and gathering nuts. | When the men returned from tnenw hunting trip they had wild turkevas deer and other game. The women then bezan cooking while the men gathered wood for the fire, and made benches, and large tables for the! teast. On the anpointed day. which wasl Thursday, the Ind'ans were invited to the feast. There was plenty to eat and arink for all. | After the feast they played games and talked about their good Muck. The| Pilgrims took their guns and fired them off. Some of the Indians Dbecame frightened and ran into the woods. The next day they returned. carrying one deer each. Saturday was another dav of praver and feasting. They had magy delielovs thines to eat wlich -the Indians brought. The Indians never tasted sueh things for there were pop- corn. nuts, turkeys and other things. FRANCTS J. SULLIVAN, Age 12. Bozrahville, The Eattle of Bunker HML. Dear Uncle Jed: During the Revolu- tion many exciting battles were fought, such as the Battle of Lexington and a great many others. I will now tell you about the Battle of Bunker Hill The fight at Lexington was over. Darkpess ciosed upen the country and upon the town but it was no night for sleep. Men on swift relays of horses ! carrisd the war message from hand to | hand till villages repeated it to village, the sea te the backwoods, the plains to the highlands. Without hope of re- of country the men, young and old, with- out military training, rushed to the camp of liberty, The bells of Boston had | struck twelve before the first sod was | thrown up. ! Then every man in his tumn seized the pickaxe and spade and so rapidly were | these tools plied that the parapet soon | grew in height. The British advaneed in geod erder, steadily and slowly and with m confi- dent air, firing their muskets as they advanced. But they fired too soon and too high, doing little damage. They | made attempts but they were all use- Jess. At last the Americans became helpless and were outnumbered by the British. Their fire slackened and began | to die away. For some time they kept the enemy at bay with the butt end of : their guns. Then seeing that their | efforts were useless. Prescott gave the ! word to retreat. When Washington heard the story of the fight he remark- ed that he was satisfied that the liber~ tles of America would be preserved; and ! Franklin wroté “England has lost her | colonies forever.” LOUTS LAFRAMBOISE, Age 12, Brooklyn. The Seashore Mystery. Déar Uncle Jed: In a small village in Texas lived a poer little boy named Joe. | Joe lived by the seashore. Soon a béy came to live mear Joe. His name was William. The two boys soon be- eame friends. One day while out rowing, Jee said, “Let us go on shore and play.” While they were playing Joe fell on a little mound. The mound eaved in. Joe found himself in a little room under the ground. Seomn Joe called te William. When William eame he saw Joe was in a room under ground. The two boys looked around the room ! to see if they could find anything. There were letters on the wall. William put his | hand on ene of the letters and the wall | opened. They saw a box locked upi with a huge lock. The two boys were ! 80 anxious to see what was in the box that they broke the lock and looked in- side. They found valuable jewels. Joe. pressed another letter and the wall closed up. They went home and told their fathers and the fathers went at once to see the treasures, After their fathers had looked over the place they saw a button and press- ed it. The mound that had fallen in went up. Yeu would never know that it had fallen in. There was a place| on the mound that if anybody touehed, & would cave in. The jewels were worth so mrach that the boys and their fathers did not have to work any more. JOHN GILL, Age 12, Jewett City. Watched Robins Build Nest.

The, hered pleces of straw and_ string. kept making the nestl round and round until it was perfect. Then I saw four little robins. They were very cute. It was interesting to ‘watch them open their mouths for food. Pretty soon the little birds began to fly. One of the birds was caught by were only three birds |them 2 happy Christmas perchance 1 do | about this time and what Is more enjoy- !is reading.

Also | some pressed goldenrod. 1 like reading best because you would not know much about things except what people tell you. I go to school every day. JOEL BITGOOD, Age 11. Voluntown. The Joys of Christmas. Dear Uncle Jed: One of the reasons why I like Christmas is because I have a holiday at school, and am free from work. When it is time for breaking up I know Christmas is drawing near. Shop- ping is a real pleasure for me at Christ- mas. I like to look around the shops to see if there is anything I would like. The decorations make me feel very bright. I enjoy buying cards to send to my friends and relatives to show I am stiJ thinking of them and wishing not see them. One of my joys is dec- orating the house with evergreens and astening mottos on the wall. I de- ght to dress the Christmas tree with pretty things. On Christmas morning T am eager to see my presents. Snowy weather comes able than playmg in the snow and throwing snowballs at each other? | Christmas on the whole is 2 time of re-| joicing and thinking of the birth of Jesus Christ. In conclusion I wish svervone a very Merry Christmas. GORDON JOHNSON, Age 9. Baltic. Just Luek. Dear Uncle Jed: It was one Saturday evening the week before Christmas that ! I was lucky. 1 was going home from ! the city and was just stepping into the ! yard when something green attracted my attention. 1 stopped quickly and picked it up. It was a dollar and was the first time I had ever found anything over a cent. 1 was so glad that I ran instantly into the house and I told moth- er of my luck. The next day was Sunday. I went to church and Sunday school. While I was going home from Sunday school I found another dollar. It had been all eaten by some animal. But )l got a new one from the bank. This time my sister wasn't so glad, but I just said, “It was just luck.” I had all my Christ: mas money now just on-time. DOROTHY NORMAN, Age 10. Norwich. Likes to Read. Dear Uncle Jed: My favorite pastime The reason I like to read is because I think it helps many people to find out about the adventures of those who had to go out into the world to seek their fortunes. Some of the books I have read are: Penrod, Penrod and Sam, The Boy Al- lies' Under Two flags, The Three Young Ranchmen. The Rario Boys' First Wire- | less, Michael O'Halloran, Tom Swift and | His Aerial Warship, ‘Tom Sawyer, Boy Scouts in Servia, Ted Marsh and the Enemy, The Boy Scouts of the Wolf Pa- trol, and Buffalo Bill. T like to read interesting stories like these. 1 hope all the Wide-Awakes are also interested in reading. JASON CLARK, Age 12. Lebanon. My Pet Rabbit. Dear Uncle Jed: My rabbit is all black. I like her becausde she likes to play and_tite. ‘When I go to feed her she jumps up for her meal. I give it to her. Thén she wants to play. Some times she will knock with her paws. I know that she doesn't want to play when she does this. I stay till nine o'clock with her. I clean her coop and then I get ready for school. Bhe is a good rabbit, I think. JOHN CHOGAN, Age 12. Occum. My Pup Pegzy. Dear Uncle Jed: I have a little dog. Her name is Peggy. She can turn a somersault, and she can sit on her hind legs. I have a lot of fun with her. One day when I was playing ball, I happened to drop it. She got hold of it in her mouth and ran away with it. I| ran after her until I got tired. I went home for it was supper time. When I ate my supper ! went out to call Peg- gy. When I called her she came, but she did not have the ball. The next day she went by a tree and began to dig. I watched her for a long time. Finally she stuck her nose in the hole and pulled out the balL. Thdn she filled the hole again and eame to me| with the ball I was glad to get the Ball | back again. She wagged her tail and I told her not to do it again. I ealled some friends to play ball. We played | ball for a long time, but Peggy never| teok the ball again. JOHN ROBINSON, Age 10. A Visit to Grandmother. Dear Uncle Jed: Once when I was on a visit in the eountry I went to see my grandmother. When I arrived I found she was knitting stockings for her neighbors. The yarn from which she was knitting her stockings was in her | lap. As she rose to come and me the ball of yarn dropped on the and her kitten who was nearby ran to play with it. A She jumped on it and began to un- wind the ball My grandmother then didn't notice her, so the kitten ran out of doors still unwinding the ball. ' to her work she found the yarnwherease When my grandmother eame back to her work she found the yarn twisted around everything. Then she follow- ed the yarn into the shed where her kit- ten was drinking milk so she kmew who had done it and didn't give no milk to ber kitten for the next three hours.
