At Rexere Beach.

Dear Uncle Jed: I have read the let ters written by the Wide-AwaRes for B long time, and would like to join their circle. May [?
 Last summer I went to Lynn to spend part of my vacation. Revere Beach, is not far from there, and we went there nearly every night. I like to go at night better than in the day. because the many colored lights are all lit.
 The Scenic railway is one of the amusements there that l liked. Shall I tell you about it?
 First, you enter small car, and very soon you are lost in darkness. When you are used to the darkness you see swans in the water and boys fishing. Soon you are out of the darkness and are flying down q steep hill. only to climb another Then when you reach the top of this hill you can look about 'fWonderland' which looks beautiful at night Then there is another hill to climb, and darkness again. This time you can see Red Riding Hood and the ugly wolf. Jack the Bean Stalk and his bag of beans. and Cinderella trying on the glass slipper. After you have passed through the darkness you come to 8 long slide and another hill, at the bottom of which is another dark place When you are out of the darkness you find yourself at the starting place.
 May I write again and tell you Of ths Pit and other places there?

My Leisure Hours

Dear Uncle Jed: I live near a large cove which was frozen over last week. My friend and I have been on the cove a great many times since it has been frozen over
 Last Saturday when we were out there we heard a noise. I looked ev- anywhere but could not tell where the sound came from. I looked up in the air and to my surprise it was an aero- plane. 1t was MT. Jones, the parcel post mail carrier.
 He stopped at the Alden Fish farm ill Mystic. Early Sunday he started ta deliver his message to Mayor Mahan Of New London.
 I am now going to tell you about my trip to school and my teacher. Every morning I have got to go on the car I go quarter to g, which makes me late to school. Our teachers name is MT. Edwards. I like him very much. think he likes all his scholars.

The Boy Trapper and Hunter.

The boy told you about some time earned money enough to buy g SS caifbre rifle which I am going to tell you about.
 One day while walking through a field with his dog named Rex, a rabbit ran out of bush: He stepped back behind a tree, while Rex ran around the rabbit and stopped it.
 The boy fired and the bullet struck the rabbit in the head and 1t dropped dead Rex picked him up and carried it to the boy.
 On they went. but they didn't see anything more.
 They must have gone a quarter of & mile before they saw a partridge. The boy fired and killed it, and Rex as before picked it up and brought it to him. Then they went home.
 The next day to their surprise, the boys mother made them 8, partridge pot poe
 In two more days they were still more surprised to have a rabbit stew.

 And where think you. do the insects come from Some of them come out of the water, like the mosquitoes, the enats and the dragon flies; soma come put of the earth, like the grass and tree moths and the plant and vine moths, and many of the beetles, and some come from the trees like the wood boring bees. flies and beetles and some from cocoons in the leaves or from cocoons or web nests swing ing In tnes branches of the trees; and some come from heaps Of refuse, like the house and horse flies, and some from all sorts of sheltered places in which they have found refuge through the winter; and they all know their call and come in their turn and thsfr appointed time.

made last year-the11 call is low temperature or early call.
 This reminds me that you may not be aware that d part of the business of every tree is to make the buds which hold the foliage of the tree for next year. These buds grow between the stalk and the stem and when fall comes they have become so bis. that they help push off the old leaves. and there, well sheathed and sealed they stay in cold storage until the sun sets the sap circulating, and the force Of that breaks the bindings, casts the sheaths and pushes the leaves out into their places and into the sunlight to commence work in making fruit and getting the foliage ready for the com Ing season. The leaves have their time 10 come out, as well the insects and sometimes the insect comes before the foliage and sometimes the foliage be- lore the insect, but there is no mistake made about their appearance.
 The rustic moths have their day to come out late in the season, and they so about sticking their eggs in the warm earth where they hatch into caterpillars and winter. and m the known as "cut worms" and they defy the heat and stay all through the plantlng season, doing great damage ln all cultivated lands.
 How these differ from the bees who come out to get honey and who make three times as much honey as they need furnishing large quantities for the use of man. And of the 450O varieties only few live more than a season and the oldest does not exceed i've years.
 The beetles are the long lived ereat- ures of Insectville. and they are hard she1led and usually unsightly creat- ures. Some of them get to be bigger than mice and half a foot in length; and 8 few wear bright co1ored bur n1shed arn1or and are~used for dec- orattve purposes like coral: and some of them carry lights and are known az lantern flies, and the last have their coming out days and night par ades in the very hottest weather.
 Of some of these we shall have something interesting to say in the future.

 He lived with his grandparents on 8 farm about five miles from town.
 One night his grandfather called him out of bed and told him to go to the doctors house and tell the doctor to come to their house as quick as pos sible for his grandmothher was very ill.
 He put his skates on very quickly and took his skate sail with him. He went very fast and got to the doctor s house in quick time. He flung off his skates and scrambled up the bank to the doctors house. As soon as he got to the door he used the brass knocker hard that the noise echoed through the streets.
 When the doctor came to the door he told him what it was he wanted, and the doctor started off very quick, and got to Fritz's house before Fritz did. and this was how Fritz saved his grandmother life.

My Home.


 My home is on the main road. There is a. large rock maple tree near the house. Every other year we tap it and get some syrup. In the summer time it makes fine shade. I often take a chair and a reading book and go out under the tree when the sun is very warm in the summer time.
 Sometimes my brother and I take the, horse and go to the store and get some grain and groceries go to see a. friend of ours who lives in the town of Vo1untoWn
 On Saturdays I play school with my two smaller sisters. They like to play school as well I like to teach them.
 Sometimes during the evening after my brother and l have finished our arithmetic we will play a game Of parchesi and checkers. After we have finished playing I read.
 I keep house for my mother when she goes away. l never get lonesome if there are any books I can read. Sometimes I get the graphophone out and play that for change.

Uncle Jed,s Talk to wsIe.Awake..

Some of the Wide-Awakes tell us they get angry and Uncle Jed would not be surprised to learn that every one of them did on occasion.
 Getting angry is a bad habit and regret to think it is a habit the chil- dren often learn too early from the indiscretion of their parents.
 You may set this right down for Gospel truth, anger and hate are twin svils-that they have done more harm than good in the world. Anger leads to fury and fury 1s insanity from any point of view. Uncle Jed does not want the Wide-Awakes to tend in that direction.
 Not to give way to anger shows power and sense and judgment: 1t gives force to dignity and enebles the lives of those who overcome weak ness. Anger never represents strength.
 Those who get angry often-who arc upset by trivial things-are victims of an i'll temper. They are always doing ahings to apologize for and never feel charitable to regard them as victims of prsven4abis weakness.
 There is nothing which ovsrshadows more completely every good quality like anger. Tt makes g. person fn- tcIxy and irrational, uncoTnpanionable and groucty.
 w7de-Awa1Ees cultivate sweet dis position and g. 1orbear1ng spirit. Do not be quick to resent disappoint- Eaents ina ginary sights and thou sand and one things which are all the lime happening to everybody.

How l Made a Sled.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you how I made a sled. 1 took two boards three quarters of an inch thick and sawed them off about 28 inches long. On one end l sawed them to a slant, while the other was curved to a point from both sides.
 Three-quarters of an inch below the upper edge I bored holes for fastening the side pieces on the bottom board. Tn the middle or just in front of the center beam I cut out hole for my hand to slip through to hold on with. I made these holes smooth on the edge, or they would hurt my hand when holding on tight.
 I took a piece of board orc-haif of sn inch thick and about 1T inches long. I had it just wide enough to come on the beams and come even with the runner boards. I took fathead screws and fastened them,
 painted 1t red with black bands, and was much pleased with my work. I bored tn front of each runner hole

a bush near the princess and he was all scratched and bleeding
 The princess felt sorry for hlm and washed the blood off him. The crow told the princess that he was not a crow. but an enchanted prince, and that if she wanted to free him, she would have to spend three nights in the old castle.
 T am willing to- she said
 You will have to suffer in many ways, said the prince, but if you do not utter a sound in three years you will set me free"
 So she went to the castle. At mid- night the door burst open and evil spirits came in and made fire and pug big kettle over 1t, and then they looked for the princess; they dragged her to the kettle, when suddenly a cock crew and all disappeared.
 She kept on for three years and SC freed the prince. He married her and lived happy ever after.
