CLEVER JACK.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: we
have a bungalow on the Passaic River at
Singac Last summer we spent seven
weeks there and had dandy time.
The porch OF this bungalow is right over
the river. and all around US are beautiful
scenery and large trees
we have little dog who was only three
months old then. Every morning my
brother and I would go I'm swimming and
sometimes take Jack with US. l swan
across the river several times this summer
In the afternoon I would go canoeing.
Jack is a very clever dog. He will give
you his paw. speak for his food or catch
IL if you throw it to him. One night in the
summer a girl who lived in bungalow
near US was coming through the fields A
strange man chased her and Jack, seeing
him, barked very loudly and frightened the
man away. The girl got home safely Now.
don't you think that very clever thing
for such a young dog to do? Very sincerely
yours, FRANCES H. PAYNE tagged 14).

FISHING FOR CRABS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women; Last
summer while we were at the seashore 1
went grabbing with two other boys. The
day was very windy one, and in conse-
quence the water was very rough and
choppy. We got our nets and fish heads
and lines. 1t was quite long distance q
the grabbing grounds, and as the wind was
against us we took turns rowing We at
last, however, arrived, and throwing out
our anchors and fish heads we were all
ready for any crab that should take hold.
We had not long to wait for suddenly the
line began to grow taut. and we knew that
there was a crab on the other end. We
were not mistaken and. drawing the line
UP very carefully, saw him clinging TO
the fish head With the help of the net we
landed him in the bottom of the boat. We
threw the line out again and in a few min
utes another took hold was very eagerly
watching the line being pulled up when
suddenly I lost my balance and with a
splash hit the water. ! pulled myself back
into the boat. but was a very cold and wet
boy. Sincerely yours.

pleasing appearance. We then made snow

we worked about two long days on IT.
We had few accidents in making it One
of them was when my friend was walk

did not. for she went through and landed
on her small sister, frightening her and

snow Hoping this will interest the read
