UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY. TALK

My Dear Children:
l want to thank all of my little fr1ends
for the many kind letters sent TO me aul,
ing the last week. containing such goou
Thanksgiving wishes. | know you all en-,
joyed the day to the utmost, and each had
his or her full share of the turkey anu
other good things. I I'M afraid, however,
tina some of you had your heads turned
by the visions of Mr.. Turk, because there
were a very great many answers received
10 the puzzles which in some essei1tlai
point did not agree with the rules govern
ing the award of prizes. If you md your
name listed under the heading Mail Box
you Will know tina you were one OF the
careless children and that your answer was
rot counted. Try to be very coTeful ~
follow the rules exactly or you VIII IeVet
win one of the prizes.
Do you know which words are the mos
commonly used in the English language
Recently a list of 0 1000 words was macy
up from excerpts from several stahoaIu
writer's of English books, with the ioi'
lowing result:
1t was found that the was the WORD
most frequently used. appearing S,1l3 times;
"Of' was used but 5,074 times and and
but $500. To appeared 3,461 times: IN.
2.27l: IA" 2,140; that" LIE; was l'54i'
,sit.'' lies; his" 1,0S2, aud "as," Loo: -,
No other word appeared as often as LON
times, and of n list of the $50 words sup
posed to be most commonly used the total
was more than half of the total number.
Thus we see that the smaller words are
the ones most frequently employed; Yours
truly. UNCLE JACK.

THE BEARS OF
HAPPY H0LL0M

The bear school in Happy Hollow was q
nine days wonder, which means that II
caused more than the usual amount OF
talk. The older bears had been opposed
TO it from the start: but this is the way
the cubs argued:
We are the ones who will have to man
age things when we grow up, and we are
not going to be old-fashioned and dumb
and out of date if we can help 1t"
The smart young bear who had seen the
world and had then come back to Happy
Hollow to start the school naturally sided
with the cubs; or it may be better to say
they sided with him.
Il believe in progress!' be declared.
Shaping together his big fore paws. II
the bears don't wake up they will soon
be nothing more than a third or fourth
class race among the animals of the world.
But the old bears shook their heads.
They didn't pretend to know everything
about the world, like this upstart, but
they did know what was good for bears.
young and old. Any one who had hung
around the big cave might have heard the
grizzled old veterans of manv winters
talking dolefully while the cubs were
away at school:
"As long as anybody can remember any
thing we have been happy and contented
have enough to eat. and this new notion
silly
Il have heard remarked another, that
when folks m 10 wear clothes they
commence to dose their hair. If we were
made to wear clothes. why are we covered
with warm fur? That bright young fellow
who runs the school told the cubs they
could not come to school in their bear
skins. They simply must be dressed.
Poohi
But no matter what the old ones thought
and talked. The cubs had their way and
went to school. Some of them learned
quickly and easily, some had no minds at
all, the master said; some forgot over night
more than they had learned the day before.
Jason and Jerry, the twin bears. were
of the quick kind. They never had to study
much. The master couldn't keep them
busy. which meant hat they had a good
deal Of time for mischief. For they were
not the kind of little angels to sit calmly
and quietly with folded hands, waiting for
things to happen.
They had been Whacked several times
with the masters big stick. The time after
they ran away from school they played

The master made a quick guess that
either Jerry or Jason had been sticking
pins into the cub, so he seized his stick
and started for the twins. Jason started
for the door and made his escape. Jerry

THE LEAVES
VISIT TO TOWN

Some gay little leaves In the forest
Were playing one autumn day..
When rude Mr.. Wind came by clustering
And scattered them out of his way.
He drove them all straight on before him,
Until he was tired OF fun,
And then, when be came to the city,
He blew them all In, every one.
oh, dear, how the little leaves trembled,
And, oh, how they raced up and down.
They all were so horribly frightened,
They had never before been to town!
They scurried in haste DER the sidewalk,
!. Each seeking the homeward way.
They we're not at all pleased with the city.
And none of them wanted to stay.
Some dear little kind-hearted breezes
Took pity upon them at last,
And all of them blowing together,
Sent the little leaves home very fast.
