UNCLE JED'S TALK WITH THE
CIRCLE.

There is a crush in the Circle and
Uncle Jed cannot get a chance to get
in a selected story. He thinks some
of our stories are better than any he
could select.
You will notice he has changed the
rule 50 that names shall be signed at
the end instead Of at the beginning of
letters. Do not write a separate let
ter for he mistrusts that is the way
the names Of the writers Of some very
good little stories have got lost
We like to hear from little readers
who live far from Norwich. We have
sent books to little story writer's in
Maine, New Jersey, Florida and Cali
fornia. We have sent out over $50
books, and the nice letters Of &C
acknowledgement from the little recip-
tents are very pleasing.
If you do not win do not grieve or
frown, but try again. You are sure
to win if YOU keep at it.

The Pretty Old Town Of PIainfisId.

Dear Uncle Jed: I have read The
Bulletin every Thursday morning since
the Wide Awake Circle started, and as
I have relatives in Norwich I know
several Of the writer's. I think some of
the fellows write dandy stories, and I
particularly like those of different
places.
My home is in Plainfield and I go
to Central Village High school, FIVE
miles from home. I ride down in the
morning with the team to catch the
train, but we have no trolley nearer
than Plainfeld station, so I have quite
a walk home. Skating has been SPLEEN
did up here; also sliding, and the
weather has been frightfully cold this
winter
Our home is on the top of Bradford
Hill, and we can see the country for
miles around.
The summer Is our busiest time, of
course and in winter it is very cold up
here
Moosup is about three miles in one
direction and Plainfield two the oppo-
site way.
The Lawton mills in Plainfeld have
greatly built up the section around the
depot, and the population of Plainfieid
| has increased wonderfully the past few
| years. The company has built many
new houses and they are much admired
as they 90 not look like the ordinary
mill tenements
Plainfield was one time visited by
! General Washington and General La
| fayette also, and the hotel where La
| favette stayed is named in his honor.
! I will write you more about this
pretty old town some other time.

she rhouaht ths Poor Could wait.

A rich woman was out riding on
very cold day, and the lady proposed
to go back home.
On their way they saw a poor wom-
an sitting on the doorstep with her
children.
The rich woman, on seeing this or
dered her coachman to stop. Then she
asked the poor woman what she was
doing, and she answered:
we are warming ourselves in the
sun. We are too poor to buy wood"
Then the rich woman told her driver
to hurry home, rs she was getting cold,
and to get lead Of wood for the poor
woman.
When she got home she took off her
riding clothes and put on more COM
Portable things. Then she seated her
self near big stove and put on her
house slippers. She had already for
gotten about the poor woman.
She sent a servant to find out what
the man was doing.
The servant returned and said he
was busy loading the team with wood.
Tho woman at once sent for him and
said: Never mind that wood now, as
the woman can walt Go down and get
some coal and put it in the furnace
When out in the cold she had pity on
| the poor woman, but now, as she was
warm and comfortable, she had no
more thought of the other woman.

The Duel"

The Bingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;

Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese
plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat

What was told to me by the Chinese
plate)l
The gingham dog went "bow- wow

And the calico eat replied -ouw!"
The air was Uttered, an hour or so,
With bits of bingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the Chin

Up with its hands before its face
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now, mind; I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is
true)t

Next morning where the two had sat
They found no trace of the dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole the pair away

Now what do you really think of that!

1t was d warm spring like day in
February, and the Olivin children,
Donald Olive, Eva and Frank, were
outdoors playing.
Spring isn't here yet. and winter
isn't over said Frank, the youngest.
"Of course spring is here. Don't
you see how warm it is? Is any one
else as foolish as he is and who
thinks winter is not over?' exclaimed
Donald who was always sure.
Both girls said winter was not over,
and Donald went away angrily saying:

The fine weather lasted for two
weeks. and one day the children went
to walk. When they were about two
miles from their home it grew dark
and cold Soon little snowflakes be-
gan to fall. Then they grew larger
until at last it was showing hard.
The children ran for home and as
soon as they reached it Donald told

THE SECOND MILLION CERTAIN.

THE SECOND MILLION CERTAIN.
The campaign of Brown university
to raise a second fund of a million
has passed the $4,000 mark and there
seems to be no doubt that the close
Of the college year will witness its
full attainment, as the persistence Of
the canvassers recognizes no bounds.
There remain 116 days wherein work
may be carried forward TO secure
pledges for the $250.0OO yet to be OBJ
tanned before June 80, and the task be-
fore the alumni committees is far
more difficult than that which has re-
suited in the accumulation of the
s750,00O. "The first $4,000 came COM
paratlvely easily, a number of gifts
aggregating $25. geo or more, and many
Of them having come in months be-
fore general publicity was given TO
the campaign and the gifts received"
the Providence Journal says 1T took
hard work and an expenditure of a
good deal of time to gather In the
third $260,000, few pledges going over
$4,000. 1t was largely in the task Of
getting the third quarter of the en-
dowment fund that the committees Of
alumni in Rhode Island and in Bos
ton, New York, Philadelphia and Chi
cago bestirred themselves The Rhode
Island campaign among Brown alumni
and non graduates is practically end
ed and efforts are now making to
reach all classes of citizens, business
houses, etc. Squads are canvassing
certain industrial branches in partlcu-
lar one squad, for example, taking
the jewelers. and manufacturers OF
iewelry in this vicinity. Another is
ut work ang the insurance men, a
third among the bankers, and so on.
1t is planned to devote to the fund the

It is storming. The trees upon the
mountain are beginning to bend with
their burden Of snow.
The shepherd comes and drives his
flock down the mountainsi3e towards
his home.
He does not notice that one is miss
ing-a little snoW-White lamb alone,
lost upon the mountain.
His little boy stands at the cottage
door He counts the sheep one by one
and sees that the little lamb is miss
ing, and he goes to the mountain to
find it.
It storms harder; but the boy goes
on until he hears the little lamb bleat-
ing.
He soon finds it and wraps it UP in
his heavy coat and starts down the
mountain to his CHEEKY home.
The little lamb is brought in the
house and fed. and the shepherds boy
cares for it.
The next morninE It goes to the
mountain with the rest Of the flock
Every night the shepherds boy counts
them, and if any are missing he goes
and finds them
The little lamb that he found upon
the mountain is a great pet and seems
to appreciate what the shepherds boy
die for him,

The coffee tree is a slender shrub
from Is to 25 feet high, with very few
branches. when native, but when cult
waited it is allowed to grow only about
six to ten feet high.
The leaves are Of evergreen color,
very shining, oblong and leathery. The
flowers are small and are clustered in
the axels of the leaves. The color Of
the flowers are white. The appearance
of the flower is very pleasing, and it
also has a very delicious smell. When
the fruit is ripe it is Of a dark scarlet
color, and the seeds are very hard.
Coffee trees grow well only where the
temperature is from "a to 20 degrees
Its native places are on tropical isl
ands.
The coffee plants average three
crops yearly in tropical regions. After
the berries Cor beans, as they are
sometimes called have been picked
they are placed on large floors, where
they are dried by the suns rays.
When this is done they are placed
between rollers to remove the dried
pulp of the berries. They are then
winnowed and are put in bags and sent

AS an old man was planting a tree
three young men came along and be-
gan to make sport Of him, saying:
1T shows your foolishness to be
planting a tree at your age. The tree
cannot bear fruit for many years,
while you must very soon die. What
is the use Of your wasting your time
in providing pleasure for others to
share long after you are dead?"
The old man stopped in his labor and
replied:
Others before me provided for my
happiness, and it is my duty to pro-
vide for those who shall come after
me AS for life, who is sure of it for
a day? You may all die before me-"
The old mans words came true. One
of the young men went on a voyage at
sea and was drowned; another went to
war and was shot, and the third fell
from a tree and broke his neck
We should not think wholly of our
selves, aud we should remember that
life is uncertain.
