The Fox and the Grapes.

Some very fine grapes were hang ing on a trellis. A hungry fox that was looking for food came that way. This fox liked grapes and these were very tempting to him. He jumped and tried to get some. At last, finding he could not get any of them, he said:
 "Those grapes are sour. I do not care to have them"

HOW TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENT
 PUBLICATIONS.

No doubt most people interested in useful reading matter will thank us for information, obtained through off cia1 sources, as to how public docu- ments can be procured with least trouble and at trifling expense. The idea that prevails most generally, that this class of literature may be secured through the courtesy of mem bers of congress. is correct only in so slight degree that 1t had best be corrected.
 There are nearly five hundred sena tors and epresentatives-hen aE edition of several thousand copies, if distributed pro rata, gives to each only few copies Some of these the sen ator or representative needs for ref erence the few left over are soon ex- hausted, and those constituents who then write for them are necessarily disappointed, through no fault of the public man whom they have addressed.
 Now, as general proposition, the reader who is interested in a govern ment publication will serve himself best by addressing the official known as the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washing ton, D. C., who is authorized to have reprinted any government publication for which there is a demand and sell the same, at cost, to all applicants. He will mail price lists. divided by subjects. free upon application, and remittance can then, as required by law authorizing such sales accom- pauy order

How Edward Surprised His Father.

One morning, a great event took place in Edwards life-he went to kin dergarten for the first time.
 His mother took him and his father watched him from his study window saving to himself:
 Edward will not learn anything for a few days but kindergarten will amuse and keep him happy"
 Imagine, then, the surprise of Ed wards father when that night his small son said to him:
 Father, want to tell you what l learned in kindergarten"
 Edward stood up straight, put his feet together, and repeated Help me to do the things I should; To be to others kind and good: Tn all my work and all my play, To grow more loving every day"
 "IIe knows what it means. too," his mother chimed in, with a beaming face, because he's been so patient with baby and has taken so many willing steps to help me"

 As a matter of economy he recently received four stories in one envelope from one little book winner, which saved six cents in postage. She said she hoped they might win her a book, and Uncle Jed thinks they are likely to.
 The Wide Awakes must represent the best pupils in the schools, for they are doing nice work and making their page so interesting that grown ups read it regularly.
 It is seldom Uncle Jed gets poorly written letter, and the penmanship averages so good it speaks well for the teachers of eastern Connecticut and pleases him.
