 For a good hour and 8 half the two worked stringing ahestnuts. and cut ting pumpkins, ghosts. and cats out of the crepe paper. When this work was done, Mrs. Joyce said, Now, Lillian. the next thing is, who is to be invited !? As 1t IS your party you are the one to say. We must send out invitations tomorrow as it is late now
 Well, mother, I will see to that right away and there was such excitement cutting out little pictures and pasting on cards, on which the invitations were written.
 The next day nearly every girl or boy received a pumpkin or ghost sealed letter, in which was a card gladly re- ceived by all.
 On the night of October the thirtieth thirty boys and girls crowded into the Joyce home. They all wore cos tunes, some of sheets, with holes for eyes, others old fashioned garments while still others dressed in the way witches are represented.
 After games were played and re treatments of ice cream, cake, candy. nuts and oranges were served, the clock struck ten, and all departed for their homese
 That night thirty happy children went into the land of slumbers, but still happier was the little girl who had given them a good time.

A Little Hero.

There was little boy who lived with his mother. His father was dead and the boy would go on errands to get a little money. One day when the boy came home from school his mother gave him his red sweater and told him to go on an erTand. He took a short cut which led to a railroad track. He had to go quite a distance, and at last he came to the house. After a while he started honeward, and he was walking along the track when all of a sudden he saw a misplaced rail which was about three or four inches out of the way. What could he do? He heard d train coming and he did not want the people to get killed
 He thought of his red sweater, took it off quickly, and waved it. The en- gineer saw the boy and the sweater and put on the brakes and the train came to a stop.
 The engineer ran to the boy and the boy told him that rail was out of place a couple of inches, while all the people crowded around to see what was the matter. The boy ran home and told what he had done.
 After a long time he received a small box On opening it he found a silver medal and it said; "This is from all of us to you who saved our lives.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
The Value of insects.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to write about the economic importance of but terfiies, moths, grasshoppers, mosquf- toes, flies and bees.
 The larvae of both butterflies and moths are yoracious feeders. as any one knows who has had any exDerience with caterpiilars. Besides feeding themselves they must also store uD enough food to form their wings and legs. Some moth larvae feed upon miIkWeed leaves which are not useful to man. The adult butterflies are moi harmful since they only suck the nec tar of the flowers When the flowers are visited in this way, they are very likely to be cross -poIlinated and thus are benefited instead of injured
 Grasshoppers are voracious plant eaters. They also eat other insects
 Mosquitoes carry diseases. There are malaria mosquitoes, and stegomyia. mosquitoes which carry yellow fever. Flies also carry germs which cause diseases such as typhoid fever. chol- eras dysentery and tuberculosis
 Bees are useful as they cross-poI- l1nate the flowers. The honey bee helps the farmer with his red clover cpbD.

for use as food by man. Because, also, of the presence of various flavor ing compounds in plants, the following products are valuable: For instance vanilla extract is made from the va nilla bean, pepper from pepper berries, horse radish from the root of the horse rad1sh plant and ginger from an underground stem.
 We are dependent too, upon plants for many beverages. The coffee berry supplies us with coffee, tea leaves with tea and from the pods and seeds of the cocoa tree we obtain cocoa and chocolate Grapes are used to make wines; from apples cider is prepared, and from grains of various kinds other alcoholic liquors are produced. / Quinine the well known remedy for malaria, was formerly obtained from the bark of a tree known as cinChOna which grows in Peru. This medicine is now obtained almost exclusively from trees cultivated in India and other eastern countries.
 The camphor tree furnishes camphOr gum; from the juice of poppy fruits opium and morphine are obtained; Wholeplants like peppermint supply us with valuable medicines. In fact, enor- nous numbers of drugs are prepared from various parts of plants.

Marv's Parrot.

Dear Uncle Jed: It was my birth day, and my father bought me a, par rot for 8 birthday present The par rot pleased me more than anything else would.
 When he wanted to eat he would say:
 Poor Polly hungry!"
 I always gave him what he asked for.
 One day was vexed at him because he told my mother that l spanked my little brother. So I chased him out of doors It was a very cold day and Polly did not like to stay out in the cold. He thought he could get in the house if he told a lie He began to say:
 .Papa's found a little lamb"
 I looked out of the window and did not see papa nor the little lamb.
 I took the broom and chased the par rot away; but soon he came and rap ped at the door and said;
 ''EmiIy's here at the door"
 I really believed it. I ran and open ed the door, and Polly flew in and be- gan to laugh, and said:
 Mary; Ha! ha! Polly in!'
 I was so surprised that l forgot to be vexed, and thought what a smart parrot Polly is.
 I have had him three years, and he plays many tricks on me.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE.
 AWE sKES.

IT any of you Rere asked what is there ID a ton of oal, if you said there was heat and com fort in 1t. you would be right
 In the ancient world coal was sup posed to be an Interesting mineraI-a soft rock When it was discovered to be carbOnized " pod and a substitute for wood a hunC Ted years agO-wood that represented forests which grew and were buried. deep by some great earthquake or l landslide thousands of years before Atdam's time-it was turned to the use of man, and has been a great fc rce in the modern in dustriaI world.
 But it took the modern chemist to find out what U here is in a ton of coal; and today, even few people know what Is locked up by nature in a, ton of coal.
 There is sac charine in it, one drop Of which is 25 D times as sweet as an equal amount of the best cane sugar; and there are IS other things in a ton of gas or sof t coal ton of coal makes 1,5O0 rounds of coke after the water and co al tar and gas has been taken out. It holds 20 gallons of am monia water and 40. pounds of coal tar From tile coal tar has been dis titled over 69 pounds of pitch and r pounds of err rtlos0te, 14 pounds of heavy oils, over 3 bounds of naphtha yellow, over poun ds of naphthaline, S-4 rounds of aphthol, 1-2 pounds of elazarin. 2 pounds of solvent nap11tha, over 1 pound of phenOl and of aurine, and benzine and smaller quantities of sna1ine. tall 1dine, anthracine and to- luene: and rom the latter fs extracted the saccharf me.
 4 ton of coal which goes into the eoaibin is more than heat and com eeEt. for it is beautiful colors illumi- Haaing gas. oils and fluids and medi- cines; and in trade 1t gives color to fabrics apd candy. and many other things.
 4 ton of coal is wonderful p.oduct of nature and in it are often found impressions of ferns and other plants which are called fossils

The Natural Bridge of Virginia.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell the Wide Awakes about the Natural Bridge of Virginia. It is one of the great wonders of the United States, and one of the most wonderful struc- lures nature has left to show her handiWork
 The bridge spans the mountain chasm in which flows the little stream called Cedar Creek, the bed of which is more than 200 feet below the surface of the plain. Across the top is a pub lie road, and being on a level with the surrounding country, one may cross it without being aware of the interesting place. It is on the abutments that many names are carved by persons who have climbed the face of the precipice.
 For a number of years the name of Washington, cut in a rock when the father of his country was a lad, stood high above those of ali the other dar- ing spirits Tn ISIS, however, a stu dent of Washington college, Virginia, climbed from the foot to the top of the rock.

Eva's Pet Canary.

Dear Uncle Jed: When I lived in New York my father bought me a lit tie canary bird.
 He was yellow. I named him Birdie. He could not sing. My father al ways whistIed to him. In this way he learned to sing.
 At night my father put a dish of wa ter in his cage. In the morning he bathed himself
 One morning my sister opened the door of his cage and out Birdie flew. The window was open and he flew to the window sill. He could not fly very well. My father threw his hat at Birdie to catch him. Birdie futtered down and fell into the gutter.
 There was not much water in the gutter. A man caught him and gave him to my father. Father paid him for catching him. We gave him 8 bath and put him in his cage. We gave him his breakfast.
 One day we were about to move away from the city We could not take Birdie with us, because we were going to Gurleyville, Connecticut.
 I gave him to the care of my aunt. He is dead now Someone left the door of his cage open. He flew out and the cat got him. He was a nice little pet, and I shall not forget him.

Rohnrt Mnrris-

Robert Morris was a. man who lived in the time of the Revolutionary war.
 Washington's soldiers were untrain- ed and poorly clad. His soldiers had told him if they did not receive any salary they would resign.
 Washington, who thought good deal of his soldiers, wrote a letter to his friend, whose name was Robert Morris.
 When Robert Morris received this letter he pitied Washington and his soldiers. He borrowed some money of a Quaker friend and sent it to Washington.
 When Washington received this money he was pleased to think Robert Morris had so much interest in the war.
 Washington then called his soldiers together and said: If you will stay few weeks longer I will give each of you ten dollars
 The soldiers were glad to hear this. for ten dollars seemed 9 great deal of money to them at that time.
 So it was through Robert Morris that Washington's men did not resign.

How Annie Came to America.


 Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you how I came to this country.
 My mother, my two sisters and started the 18th of August, 1909, from Baden, Germany, in the afternoon at o'clock. We were on the train all night until next morning at 8 o'clock when we got to Antwerp, Belgium.
 There we got off and went into a hotel where we got some breakfast. Soon after a big team came for us and some more families to bring us to the big steamship that was waiting g for the people.
 You can imagine how astonished we then smaller ones and still smaller ones.
 Some persons in our team were sing ing, others were crying; and you may be sure that I was one who was cry ing. We then got on board the ship and about two hours later our parting time came. Most of the passengers were on deck waving their handker- chiefs while the band played a fare well song.
 At about o'clock in the afternoon all we could then see was sky and wa there were all kinds of games and many sports played on board.
 We were on the water nine days and at last we saw land. Oh, how glad we all were. Some were seasick and some had many other troubles.
 We'll, we reached New York the 23d of August at o'clock and there my father was waiting for us on the dock. What 8 joyous meeting that was, for we had not seen our father for three years.
 We stayed in New York the next three days and then started for our flu ture home which was to be Nl Plain field. Conn. We lived there one year, then we moved to our present home which is here in Taftville
