Her May Basket.

Dear Uncle Jed: Marion Burton was a little girl about the age of 10. She lived in small village outside the city of Providence. Her father was a rich merchant, and her mother was dead.
 One day about the first of May her teacher announced to the children that the one who had not missed a day of that term would receive something Nike a surprise.
 Marion was the one who had not missed. so all the school children and the teacher had a meeting with the exception of Marion (she was to know nothing about it). They planned to hang Marion @ May basket on the S.h of May las her reward for not missing school
 The teacher was to purchase the things and make the May basket It was to be made of white. trimmed in blue.
 Finally the day came to hang the basket, and all that day could De heard buzzing throughout the school room.
 About o'clock that evening could be seen a lot of children on the vera1- da of Marion's home The teacher was supposed to ring the bell and all t;le children had planned to hide in back of the garage.
 When Marion came to the door she was so surprised that she could hardly talk Oranges, bananas, popcorn, pea nuts. candy. etc, were arranged neat ly in the basket. with a large bunch oi lilies of the valley on the top.
 About o'clock the children said for the good time they had. She also thanked them for the May basket.

 The horse braced his fore feet and pushed, but the wagon did not move. The man got down from the seat, went to the back Of the truck and pulled. -, "Back," he cried.
 The horse strained every muscle.

 The wagon moved this time at least a foot. Once more the driver pulled and the horse pushed together

 With the last command the great horse showed with all his might. There was a sound of spiintering wood and the wagon rolled back. Not a blow had been struck. Only gentle words had been spoken and the horse had done the rest
 The man went to the horses head, took his nose in his hands, patted him between the eyes and said:
 Good old Jiml You did it, didIi you? 1 knew you would"
 The horse rubbed his nose against the mans cheek

Mary Gray stood at the head of her class Catherine Harris at the foot Although Catherine studied faithfully. she could not learn her lessons as quick as the other children but when she went home sine studied the lessons she had that day in school until she knew them. She studied spelling very hard and knew all of the hardest words. At spelling Mary was always at the head and Catherine at the foot, because she did not know her lesson for that day.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
Our Flag.


 Dear Uncle Jed: I will tell you story of the history of the flag.
 When this country was fighting to be free, many years ago, the people wanted a flag for their very own to wave over their homes, and to lead their soldiers to battle. So George were told to have just the right kind of a flag made
 George Washington drew a picture of a flag with stars and stripes and took the drawing to Mrs. Betsy Ross, a milhner in Philadelphia Washington told her to make the stripes red and sky, and he told her to make the stars six pointed
 She said: ''No, they should te five pointed;" but he wanted them SIX pointed
 Then she told him the stars in the sky seemed to have five points, and sne folded a piece of paper and cut a per feet five pointed star.
 Washington and his friend G2vc Up and the stars were made five point ed. cut out and made the first nag wiJh flag, which stands for our free country. tells a story
 The thirteen stripes are for thirteen states that first came into the union.
 The flag says: This is a free land
 The red says: Be brave.
 The white says: Be pure. <The blue says. Be true. EDWIN WILLIAMSON, Ago Il Norwich

A Visit to the Farm.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you how I enjoyed the farm last sum mer.
 Early one morning in July received a letter from my uncle. He wrote asking if I could come to the farm. I went to ask my mother, and she said I could go.
 The next morning 1 was up very early. I said ''Goodby'' to my mother and went. I reached the depot just as the train was about to leave. I bought my ticket, entered the cars and sat down. I passed many rivers, woods, cities and fields. The train stopped and I went off. I could see the little farmhouse standing in its place. l went to the house, and there l saw my uncle. He was glad to see me. It was nearly supper time. so l went out 4n the yard to see the cows, horses and pigs.
 One COW was named Daisy and one named Prince.
 A little while later I went in and ate my supper. Then l read some books At o'clock I went to bed.

JOEY JOY, A ROLLICKING BOY
How He Learned to Swim

Joey Joy always played around the water and no one would have been surprised had he been drowned. At low tide he ran on the flats barefoot ed UP, looking for minnows in the shallow water and for lamprey eelS in the gulleys under the eel grass.
 But the flood tide in summer was most interesting for the water was warmed as it came in from the sea by runniny over the sandy flats which had been exposed to the sun and it was then the boys went in bathing and the fishermen returned from the fishing grounds with boat loads of live cod and pollock from the sea There was always something doing at the waters edge when the tide came in.
 Joey Joy was known by the river men and they used to tell him where the rock-cod played in the bronze sea- weed, where the seals herded on the sands to sun, where the pipe fish and the. devil crab were to be found, and the starfish and the razor clam; where the sandbirds fed by day and the bittern fished at night.
 The how and the where and the why of life made Joey ask questions and he had the faculty of learning more out of school than some boys could learn in school. He was conf1d- ing and venturesome and his trust in others caused him nearly to lose his life once for he took the word of four big boys who could swim and they did not do as they said they would.
 It was about high tide and the wa ter was warm and deep, and these boys told Joey if he would jump in they would get him out if he could not get out himself.
 He undressed himself and jumped overheard. He knew the water was deep, but he did not think the big boys would run away and leave him to drown, but they did. When he came ts the surface and looked up for his Fescuers, there was not liv- ing person in sight and he imme- diately sank again. He could push himself to the top of the water, but had to breath quick for he immediats- ly sank again, He could not keep afloaf 8 minute, but he thought he
 might hold his breath and walk on the bottom and when he reached the logs of the wharf he could climb up and this he did. It was only few feet and 8 very difficult task: He could not help thinking if he ever got out he would never be fool enough to jump overheard like that again and he climbed up th& Mbarf dressed himself and never tumped aate deer water to let someone rescue Him from Growning.

CAMPING IN THE WOODS.

At our school we make cup descrip- tfons from outlines and this is one that I made up
 The camp is situated on the out skirts of a large forest, The camp is occupied by four girls, four boys and a chaperon.
 The tent is large and made of can vas. There is a gypsy fashioned fire place out side of the tent
 The food consisted of bread, cold chicken. cake, milk, salmon, sand wfches and cookies,
 The camp is surrounded by tall slender birch trees.
 The campers spend the evenings sit ting around the camp fire .elling stories They retire late and as they drouse off to sleep the hooting of an owl is heard in distant tree
 The mornings are spent making the fire, cleaning the tent and doing va rious other things to keep them busy
 The campers will stay one week and then return home as happy as the birds of the forest

and he said he thought they meant to dive into the water and help him get out, but he guessed they meant they would come and get him when the tide went out. He did not think that any boys could be mean enough not to do as they promised He knew boys and men better later in life
 This experience helped Joey for he felt if he accidentally got into water over his head again he could get out; but he never did get in where he couldn't get c'lt. although he had sev- eral perilous aL- Hntures-
 Joey decided to learn to swim, and with him it proved to be no easy task He could sink and wondered how other boys so easily could float yellow water and began to swim and he found he could go under water If he could not swim with his head out so he used to be known as "the scooter because he could dive and swim like a coot; and when it came to holding his breath and swimming under water none of his playmates were match for him, so in all scoot- ing matches he always came off first
 One day toward the last of the sea- son Joey decided to try for the hun dredth time to swim with his head out Of water and he was surprised when he could keep his mouth just a little
 
 although when the water was little ripply he swallowed more than his share of salt water and was constantly choking and coughing. but he per- ] severed and when he was ten years old he could hold his head as high out of water as the best of swimmers, but he could never swim with the movement of a frog. for his stroke was then called "dog-paw and foot swimming, but now it is practiced by powerful swimmers and known as the Italian stroke''
 And Joey got so he could see un- der water well as out and used to | dive in dee water and pick dimes and silver three cent pieces from the | bottom to amuse people on the wharf who enjoyed the sport.
 | He used to dive from posts twenty l five feet above the water, and swim under scows and do other daring feats 1 which few boys would venture to try; and one time it fell to his lot to dive under a Sloop to hook the centerboaro rope to & gaff and when he had sue ceeded the flat bottom of the boat l sucked him up and but for dangling ropes within his reach hanging from the sloop's rails he would have lost | his life. After he learned how fast l a flat bottomed boat could hold 8 l strong boy he did not risk his life i beneath them.

We were going on an expedition in search of Captain Cooks private goh- There were twenty-siX of us. We were marching on a small island to a small mountain which was soon reached. The gold was there. The men began digging and dug till they got out two chests from the gold-ridden ground, for some grains of gold were seen. The chests were carried to the ship.
 The cabin boy told us that night he had heard some of the men saying they were going to mutiny.
 If we were to have mutiny, we want ed to know how many were loyal, of course In our party was the captain. first after him the doctor, squire, ten men, and the boy. The mudneers had about fifteen men,
 The fight which followed was shCrt but decisive We lost one man to the mutineers' ten The rest, five in all, we brought back to England and strung upon the bibbet-
 When we got home we counted the money and found we had twenty five thousand pounds in English money, or in American money about one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars. One half of this was divided between the captain. doctor. squire, and the boy and the other half among the nine men who helped us in the light. GEORGE FARRELL, Age A. Norwich.

The Settlement of New London.

In the spring of 1646 John Winthrop under auspices of Massachusetts, be- gan a settlement near Pequot harbor. This territory was claimed both by Massachusetts and Connecticut.
 MT. Winthrop removed his family from Boston in the fall of 1646. They spent the winter upon Fishers Island but in the spring they settled on the main land. This was the beginning of the city of New London
 In 1647 the territory was conceded to belong to Connecticut, and the gen eral court suggested the place be cali ed Fair Harbor, but the settlers finally decided upon the name of New Lon don
 The Pequot river was thereafter known as the Thames.
 The city is built facing the south east and enjoys fine views over Long Island sound.
 At Groton Heights on the opposite bank, a small battery occupies the site of Fort Griswold, near which is a granite shaft 127 feet high commem- orating the massacre of it's garrison by Arnold's troops in 17S1. The harbor of New London is the best in the world. As a whale fish ing port New London was from 1S4O to 1857 second only to New Bedford.
