Uncle Jed is glad to see the Wide Awakes increaSing and the interest deepening in this department of The Bulletin.
 If the Wfde-AWaIzes could see the stack of letters he has On hand they would be surprised. There are enc hundred or more ahead of immediate requirements; so the writers should be patient, for their turn will come unless their is some good reason for rejecting the letters.
 All Wfde-Awakes should xead the Instructions and follow them. They say; Write only upon one side Of the paper: always sign your name at the bottom of the last pass. with ages and writers over IS are barred from com peting for books"
 Uncle Jed is sorry to note some s1oven1y work, and also to say that several letter writers have failed to get a book because they did not sign their names.
 Do not yield t6 inc temptation ts write rhymes. Poor rhymes are less toleFab1e than poor prose, There are lots of rhynners, bast a very few poets.

 Yes, grip is a catarrhal disease. An acute catarrhal disease. In some cases it resembles a common cold. There are some symptoms different. Intense aching of the musclesS and bones. Tired feelings predominate. It. comes on more suddenly than T common cold. There has been no particular exposure to cold to account for it.

POETRY.
A Paying Game.

It pays to wear a smiling face
 And laugh our troubles down; For all OUT little trials wait
 Our laughter or our frown. Beneath the magic of a smile
 Our doubts will fade away, As melts the frost in early spring,
 Beneath the sunny ray. It pays to make worthy cause,
 By helping it, our own; To give the current of our lives
 4 true and noble tone. It pays to comfort heavy hearts
 Oppressed with dull despair, And leave in sorrow -darkened lives
 One gleam of brightness there. It pays to give helping hand
 To eager. earnest youth; To note, with all their waywardness Their courage and their truth; To strive with sympathy and love
 Their confidence to win; It pays to open wide the heart
 And '1et the sunshine in."
