UNCLE JEDS TALK WITH WIDE
 AVNAKES.


 If the wsae- -Awakes do not increase the number of letters Uncle Jed will be obliged to decrease the number of books given away,
 Uncle led knows that summer weather is sleepy weather te all but the Wide-Awakes. Two of the Wide Awake girls have surprised Uncle Jed by their persistence and good work. The only letters Uncle Jed now has on hand were written by the Brehaut sis ters, and they write whether they win A prize or not and they have won many nice books, and will be likely tO win more We have letters enough from them to i'll the WIde-Awake de- paxment for three weeks. and they are exceilentIy written and very ac- eurate in their statements of facts. These little misses seem to enjoy their work, and to think first of doing what e book
 Uncle Jed has to throw some letters tr the waste basket because the writ CTS are careless and string words to- gether without saying anything They want to win a book. but appear to be unwilling to work for fl.
 Some Of the Wide-Awakes are busy and the way for them to win books easy fs to write Uncle Jed all about what they are doing and what they are enjoying.
 The Bulletin has sent out over TOO books to its Wide-Awake letter writers and if hopes the readers will enable it by the1r interest to circulate over a book day to the children of it's patrons,

What do you think I saw today, When 1 walked forth to take the airP l saw a little house of hay, All in a pasture fair. And just within the green grass door 1 saw a little cobbler sit; He sat, crosS-legged. upon the floor, And tapped. tp-tit, tip-tit. What are you making there so neatE" Caters for giow-worms,' he made
 reply; And thistledown slippers for fairy
 feet,
 And garden boots fora butterfly What do they pay you. my busy

 Some bring me honey, and some

 And light my chamber through" A Mel Lyons. in The Clarion.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
George Washington.

George Washington was born on a plantation in Virginia in the year 1T32- When he was eleven his father died, leaving him and his brothers and sis ters to the care of a most excellent and sensible mother
 George went to a country school near his home where he learned to read, write and figure.
 When he was twelve he could write a clear, bold hand. He was tall, strong boy, fond of all outdoor sports. When the schoolboys wanted to play soldier they always choose George as commander, then they would rush in to battle with a wild hurrah.
 When he was twenty-o one he was over six feet in height. He was straight q $ an arrow and tough as a whiplaSh.
 Washington was the first president of the United States and was elected twice. He died in the year 17S9.

Squirrels.

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought would write and tell ou about our little friends, the sQu rrels. The squirrel builds his nest in high trees. They make their nests with grass and hay and line them with birds and hens feathers. The squirrels like nuts and acorns best to eat. The squirrels coats are grey and some are of a reddish brown.
 Sometimes when the squirrels get angry you can hear them scold and chatter. The squirrels are good for pets and food. They sometimes do harm by getting into birds nests and stealing their eggs
 Sometimes people set traps for squirrels and rabbits. The grey squir- rels are best for food In November the people shoot the grey squirrels for food.

ELECTION FIGHT At
FOREST HILL CLUB
Independents and Regulars in
BitterIy-Fought Campaign.
Salmon Named.

Perhaps never before in the history
of the Forest Hill Field Club has such
contest been waged for office in the
organization as there was at the an
nual meeting last night. Dissatisfac-
ton among some of the members
over the manner in which things have
been conducted in the club in the
past resulted in an opposition ticket
being placed in the field.
The opposition put up Alexander
NJ. Linnett for the office of president
against Harry B. Salmon. represent
ing the regular faction. A tally of the
vote showed that each candidate had
received forty-nine votes. Some dis
cussion as to what course should be
arose and asked those who had voted
for him to make it unanimous for
Salmon. The opposition had gained
its point, he said, which was to show
the regulars they had some power.
This was followed by a storm of APP
plause and Mr.. Salmon was declared
unanimously elected.
The opposition had mustered their
full strength in the vote for president
Consequently the regulars got ma
iorities in the other contests. Those
elected to other offices were as fol-
lows:
Richard r. Young, vice. president;
Robert Kuebler, recording secretary;
Robert Gordon, treasurer; Henry G.
Vance, financial secretary; Judge
Thomas ]. Lintott, trustee for three
years.
For the purpose of looking up new
grounds for a golf course a commit
tee of five members will be named
by President Taylor some day this
week. The lease the club has on It's
present course runs out in five years
and the club members deemed 1t ad-
visable TO take some action at this
time.
