A Visit to My Uncle.

I went to visit my uncle at West port. I went from my house to Bal tic by team, from Baltic to Williman- tic by electric car and then took the steam cars to Bridgeport.
 My uncle met us there. We took the electrics for Westport.
 While I was there I went to the beach, South Norwalk, Ridgef1eld. New York.
 While in New York I rode in the subway and on the elevated cars. I went to Battery park and saw fish of all kinds. seals, sea-lions, alligators and turtles, which I enjoyed. I went to the Danbury frenen's parade It was a long one. And the companies looked pretty in uniform.
 My visit was three weeks. I had a good time all the while I was there.

A Trip to Windermere.

A Trip to Windermere. Last August I went to visit a friend at Windermere, Fla, a very small place about eighteen miles from Kissimmee. went to the train about two o'clock, and got there about half an hour after wards.
 On the way we passed about twenty small lakes, all very beautiful. One was a very small, dark looking lake, surrounded by large oaks. My friend said that there were alligators in it.
 When we finally reached Winder- mere I found it was nearly all woods except for about ten houses built far apart. and building that served as hotel, post office, station and store.
 The place was nearly surrounded by three fakes. Lake Bessie, Lake But Ter and Lake Windermere, which was nearest to my friends house. It was in this one that we went in bathing nearly every day.
 All the children except myself could swim, so I set about to learn. One little girl four years old could swim and dive better than many of the old CT ones. They could all dive and stay under water until I thought they would never come up
 I was only there a week. so I only learned to swim a few strokes before I came home. but I spent a very pleas ant week

Always.

Every one who love you
 Loves to see you smile. Loves to see you cheerful
 And happy all the while. Smiling comes so easy
 Do not wear a frown: If you feel one rising
 Always smile it down.

Now.

If you have kind words to say, Say them now. Tomorrow may not come your way, Do a kindness while you may, Loved ones will not always stay; Say them now. If you have a smile to show. Show it now; Make hearts happy, roses grow, Let the friends around you know The love you have before they go- Show 1t now.
