He Lives Beside a River.

Dear Uncle Jed: My house is right beside the river and in the winter when the trees are covered with snow and the pond with ice, it looks like dia- rnonds when the sun is shining.
 We can see iceboats skimming up and down with their big white sails swinging and catching the wind. The pond looks never lonesome because there are always boats of people on 1t; but in summer it looks prettier with the boats and canoes floating up and down with their flags in the stern and the bow. There is boathouse on the river and often the fellows have races up and down
 I often go out in their racing boats. I have a canoe but I cannot take it because my father said can't till know how to swim.

At last, 1 found a, short one and put it up against the tree. After much coaxing I got him to jump 10 the board which was about two and & half feet below.
 He jumped and then came up to me an drubbed his head against my chin. I then took him off the board and set him on the ground He fol- lowed me away from the tree stopped to stroke him. I then went further on. When I came back looked around for him but he was gone and 1 have never seen him since.

 The next morning was very bright day, so he thought he would try once more To his delight there was a stone down, and what do you think was under it. A big skunk. He came running home with it, but he for got his own clothes in his excitement and had to bury his clothes in one hcle and the skunk in other. The next day, he dug the skunk up one dollar and a quarter. Since that day the little boy has trapped every winter making several dollars dur ing the season.
 Now he is big strong boy and likes the country so well that he is going to stay and live all the time with his uncle.

Learned to Sail a Boat.

 My father would not let me sail un- til knew how to swim little. Most of the accidents in sailing come from jibing the boat. Jibing comes when the boat is going side of the wind and you turn down with the wind The right way is to turn the boat into the wind and go around.
 The most dangerous way to sail is directly in front of the wind. have round bottoned rowboat with a keel that use in the summer. It has a spirit sail, two oars, and a rud- der to go with it.
