don't want you to think that l am
Jealous of any little pleasures you may

Now you're talking like the woman

blossoms were a drug in the market!
When a man breaks his back in three
places trying to make his home COM
Portable he feels fully rewarded If his
wife appreciates his efforts! The true
reason why I objected to your going
with Susan Kickshaw is the fact that
she isn't III your class. She's a pop
ular woman, all right and has her good
points, and her new automobile is fine
but you ar. IGNORING her by going
with her. However. you won't have
any riding at all if you wait for a
woman in your own class to bring her
motor along, so you'd better put on
your best lid and go with Susan

Il have plenty of objections on file,
but they're not ridiculous. While we
are not abjectly poor. we can't afford
any automobiles or calliopes and ]
don't think it good taste for you to

you can't invite her to a similar di-

THE idea didn't seem to occur to
YOU when you took a 560-mile motor

UNCLE JED'S CHAT
WITH THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Nacationland is behind us and the
Hill of Learning is right in front The
schoolhouse doors are open, the bell
has rung and through the schoolhouse
we must make the ascent This hill
is like every other hill2if you see the
beauties of it the way is easy, but if
you only think of the work of it the
way is hard. Those children who do
not like to go to school are on the
for a, disa greeable time. To be
schooled is to be learned: and to have
knowledge is to have power Boys and
girls would not dislike to go to school
if they realized that the instruction
made them better more useful and
more skilful and in the end more
happy because it prepares them to
make the most of themselves and to do
more and to earn more and to see
more in life. The teacher is trying to
lead her pupils into a more and more
beautiful way. and what the schools
give boys and girls lasts forever ]
suspect the reason learning is likened
to hill is because as we go on We
rise, and as we rise we see a wider
and wider view; and when we get to
the top we can behold the greatness
of the earth and the glory of God and
feel in the right way the power of
man and recognize our own duties bet

went into a sort of frenzy or trance
and while in that condition, spoke in
unknown tongues Our friend was
greatly astonished to recognize one of
these tongues as an Oriental language.
This was spoken by a Christian lady
of excellent character and standing
in the community, who was uncon-
scious of the import of her words;
for the gentleman declared that of all
the vile expressions he had ever heard,

FIRST SIGHT OF slRp.MEN.

Worcester, Mass, the home of At
Ikinson, the aviator who was alleged
to have traversed the heavens over
half a dozen states in the dark, two
years ago-the phantom who had all
southern New England watching sky
ward of nights TO see his lanterns and
to hear the whirring of his motor as
he passed over. never saw bird man.
says The Gazette of that city, until
Labor day; and that paper expresses
it's thanks to the state agricultural
society for the privilege afforded the
people.
Now, at this day. says The Gazette,
Worcester is privileged to behold two
men, each in his own craft, making an
overland journey of miles and hand
ling that craft with dexterity and
power of control which almost stag
gers the imagination.
As for the aviators, Ovington and
Milling. they accomplished feat that
NAV well cause them to take pride in
their ability as bird men. The mater
iaI rewards were ample and of kind
to excite the emulation of their fellow
bird-men. But above the satisfaction
which winning a money prize by their
skill and daring, must have been that
which came from the hearty acclama-
lions of the thousands gathered to
greet the filters.
With over $4,000 people on the fair
grounds itself, and with neighborlng
hills and nearby housetopS black with
people it was evident that the show
was one lacking nothing in popular
appreciation. The fact was further
emphasized when Ovington, the first
aviator who hove in sight, was given
a laundering and prolonged cheer.

Two White Rabbits.

Dear Uncle Jed: There is a little
girl named Grace here, who lives in the
same house where I live. She had two
white rabbits I used to pick clover
for them. and one was tame to me and
the other to her.
Grace and L gave them clover, car
rots and bread to eat and water to
drink.
They had a box for a house and a
nice big yard. One week when Grace
was away the rabbit that was tame to
me got out of his coop and was taken
by a dog and killed.
The other one felt SO bad that he
would go out of his coop to look for his
mate, and I had to run all over the
gardens to get him.
Then [ kept him in the house. took
the yard off and he never again got
out.
One night I was going to give him
some clover and he wanted to get out,
so he scratched me all over my right
hand.
When Grace got back from her va
cation she gave him away. This is
all l will write this time.-Stella Zu-
scik, aged u, South Wilmington.
