Our Little Neqre Cousin.

Our little negro cousin lives in Afri- ca in 8 hut made of reeds and mud which is near the kongo river. She is six years old and does not wear clothes. She never fears of mussing her dress or spelling her sash when she sits down, She has very much fun rolling in the green grass and playing beneath the shading palm trees. If she wants 8 banana she can pick it from the tree. She cannot read or write, and if she saw a book she would not know what 1t was.
 In all her life she has only seen one white man Some white children liv- ing in large cities see thousands of them in one day. Her father has gone hunting today. If he is successful he will bring home food for dinner tomor- row.
 In her country there is no winter. The seasons there are the rainy season and the dry season. It is warm all the year. How surprised she would be to see snowi
 You may be sure she has never seen a sled. Do you think she would like to slide down hill with you? How different is her life from the life of our little Japanese cousin,

Renny's Property.

Once there was very poor boy who was left without father or mother. He lived with a poor aunt in a, large city.
 One day as Benny, for such was his name, was walking along the main street of this city very rich looking gentleman came along and asked him if he wouldn't like to get a place to work Benny was very eager for the job and it was arranged that he should go to work in the office of the Wilson 61 Clark Co. next morning.
 Ben didn't get very big wages at the beginning, but a little later his pay was raised. His aunt was encouraged by her nephew's S prosperity and soon be- gan to put away money for the fu- ture.
 After four years of service in the office Ben was made a member of the firm. The firm bought a small granite island and established @ quarry over which Ben was placed as boss.
 The inhabitants of the island were mostly fishermen who were very poor. Some of them began to work the quar- " by the persuasions of Benny. A very pretty maiden lived on this small

The Mischievous Monkeys.

A man once chanced to stop at a southern hotel where they had a pet monkey which was always playing tricks upon the guests.
 One morning. early, the man was awakened out of a sound sleep by a noise similar to this: Swish, swish, swish''
 Not knowing about the monkey he suspected it was a burglar, so he got up and lit a light and armed himself hall to see what was going on.
 Greatly to his surprise he found a monkey instead of a burglar, as he had suspected
 The monkey wal amusing himself by<dipping his paw in a pail of water and throwing it against the wall, caus- ing swishing noise that awoke the man
 Being pet, he was not at all dis turbed by the presence of the man and still acontinued until the water was almost gone.
 The man quietly returned to his chamber and after blowing out his light went to bed, but not to sleep, for he couldn't sleep with that swish, swish. swish.'
 When the water run low the monkey picked up the pail and went away, looking for a chance to disturb some one else.
 The man was perfectly satisfel on learning the origin of the peculiar noise and finished his sleep.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
Can and Can't

Dear Uncle Jed and Wide Awalkess l thought would write you a little story about Can and Cant.
 Can and Can't, once ran a race Can fell down and hurt his face: but up he Jumped and on he ran, the per seVering little man. In spite of all Can't did or said, Can kept on going straight ahead. Can't did not wish to be the last, nor did he like to run so fast. And so he shouted: Don't you see that you can never outrun me?''
 But Can replied. That is just your way, you're telling people every day, that black is white the earth is fiat but you will not conquer me. for I in tend to win this race or die"
 They kept on running many years, and Can at times shed bitter tears, over the troubles that he met, and oftentimes would weary get. His feet were sore. the way was rough, the road times ran and sometimes hopped, but never. never, never stopped.
 At last Can't halted by the way, and said: Now I will rest and play" And so he waited while his friend, kept on till he reached the end. And Can't was left far in the rear, because he would not persevere, Can won the race while Can't stood still. He al ways has and always will
 Now Wide-Awakes, don't you think it would be a good plan for us that when we have a hard task to do we should not be like Can't. but say, can and keep on till We win in what we have to do?

China imports wood pulp from Great Britain Sweden, Norway, and Ger many.
 The highest mountain in Montana, Granite Peak, with an altitude of near ly 13000 feet, is in the Beartooth na- tienal forest.
 Norway has IA tree planting soci- eties The first was founded fin 1900. ard since then 26 million trees have been planted. more than million hay ing been set out last year.
 In many parts of the west snow Is leaving the mountains earlier than us- ual. FToresters say that this may mean a bad fire season. and they are making plans for a hard campaign.
 New Jersey is said to have the Sreat- est proportion of railroad mileage of any state in the country, or one mile ot railroad to every three square miles Of territory. This makes an unusual risk of forest fires set by railroads.
 The heavy storms in southern Cali fornia during the past rainy season wiped out many miles Of trails in the national forests of that part Of the state They are now being rebuilt for the coming summer, for use in fire protection. They are also of great use to tourists, campers, and prospectors,

Why a Swallow Builds Her Nest i,
 R.rxa

Did you ever hear why a swallow builds her nest in a. barn and not in tree like most birds do I will tell you why,
 Once there was a. swallow who saw a man sowing seed in a field When the man wasn't looking the swallow new down and picked up a seed ana said: Aha, this man is sowing flax seed l will have to put 8 stop to ground it won't be long till the flax will be growing"
 She had learned in some way that men made thread from flax. This will never do,' she said. These bad men will take this linen thread and make 8 large net with it. Then they will kill all the birds
 She then went to the other birds and told them what she had found out. She asked them to go with her and eat the flax up. But the birds made fun of her and would not go. They said
 The young flax has not grown vet. When it has it is time to listen to you.'
 One day she went to the field to see Ii it had grown. It had grown quite a. little, so she went and told the birds but they wouldn't go and help her. So when she saw how careless they were she said:
 T will not live any longer among them in the woods
 That is why she came to live in a. barn.
 Did you ever see 8, swallows nest ? think lf a. swallow could speak it would say: ''Never delay to another day what you can do now"

>t4ow 3 Sparrow Saved ;fa

When MT. Rooster was young he often saw large axe sticking in a 'chopping block and because there were a quantity of feathers nearby, he be- heved all his friends had died at that place. Then he began to fancy his last day was near at hand and grew terri bly Respondent and gloomy, as if he was suffering with the pip.
 One day a sparrow came into the yard to make 3. call, and, of course, couldn't help seeing MT. Boosters con dition.
 Whats the matter?'' he asked. You seem worried. Is there anything I can do to help you?''
 Well, I'll tell you" said Mr. Rooster That axe over there fairly makes me sick. I'm sure Mr. Man intends to chop off my head. and 1 don't know what to do.'
 There's no use in borrowing trou- bic, or in crossing a. bridge before you come to it. the sparrow replied with a merry chirp. Why don't you wait till you know what Mir Man intends to do, and then begin to worry? You'll have plenty of time in which to feel badly
 That's a great idea" MT. Rooster sAld, as if he had never thought of such a thing before and finally when A1r. Man did really come with the idea or killing him, he changed his mind

How "srav." Saved the Wheat.

Brave" was a Newfoundland dog big and strong, with soft curly coat, and so gentle that all the chil- dren know and loved him. His home was on a big farm and he helped with the work in many ways
 One day the family III went to town and left Brave at home to take care of things. There was no fence about the farm, for fences, you know, cost a great deal of money, and Braves owners had just gone out to the great new northwest country to make a home for themselves, and had very little money to spend. The house seemed very quiet, with everybody gone, and Brave lay down by the door to take a nap. He kept ''one eye open, however, which means that he knew

A Country Girls Life.

I live on a farm between Stoning- ton and Mystic, Conn. My house is near a pumping station. The farm has about a hundred and fifty acres Last summer when we were getting the hay in the barn I used to ride the horserake around the lot and rake the hay. I built loads on the wagon, and would drive the horse to the barn. am used to horses and have been around them all my life.
 When my father got all of his hay in the barn ,he went to help another man. I begged him to let me go and he said that I might. When I got there, 1 asked to ride the horse rake and they told me I Ncould. The ground was rough and I got a good deal of shaking up but I did not mind that because my horse was kind and would stop when he was bid.
 I like to live on a farm because there are many more things to in terest little girls in the country than in the city.
 My pet horses name is Robert Horn He is very gentle and I can ride him anywhere.
 I used to have a pet horse named Asmark. but he was sold and I felt very bad.
 In winter I go skating as there is large pond by my house. I go to country school and am in the seventh grade.
 I like to be out doors in sum- mer.
 I hope others in the Wide Awake Circle will write about their country life.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

All Wide-Awakes are old enough to cultivate good cheer; but all of them, perhaps, do not know how to do it.
 No boy or girl ever cultivated good cheer by being cast down and making themselves miserable because they cannot have their own way. Our own way is not always the best way, even when we are grown up.
 It is 8, bad habit taking form when a boy or a girl gets vexed and then keeps morose whenever they, are disap- pointed. Disa appointments are among the very commonest things of life and they are most of them like the white faced bumble-bee, without a sting. if you have 8 mind to think so.
 Getting down hearted is 8 bad hab- 1t, and 1 expect the men and women who expect to die every night when they go to bed and are surprised ev- cry morning when they wake up and bemoan that they must live one more day, and still go right on living, didn't take their disappointments right when they were boys and girls.
 It is just as easy to keep sweet as 1t is to get sour if you will give the matter attention. The way you frame your mind puts shine or shadow into life. If you always resent little of lenses and keep a revengeful feeling yea will grow into a person who will take more pleasure in the Day of Wrath than in the Day of Mercy
 Here is a saying which should never be forgotten: "The only man who is down in this world is the man who thinks he is down!'
 Learn to bear up under d1sappoint- ment- Learn to frame up smile where the world expects to see a grimace. Do not let Old What's-the Use get hold of you, for if you do you are down and out.
 It is the chilly thought that cakes cheer out Of the hearts of men and makes all tt.afr efforts vain.
 Brace up." is one of the finest of companions, one of the most depend able Of friends.
 Do not tote around with you annoy ances, cfi1ls and pains for others for if you do you will be welcome nowhere and will get to thinking the world is aeainst you when the truth is you are against yeurseIf-yoaT own worst ene- Ht

The Sheep and The Birds.

4 father and son were once sit ting under a tree upon a hill It was near sunset, and a flock of sheep were quietly grazing by. While grazing a strange man appeared, and with him a dog. The sheep upon seeing the dog, plunged into some thorny bushes, and tore off some of their wool.
 The boy, on seeing the wool, was troubled and said, See, father, how the thorns tear the wool from the poor sheep, The bushes ought to be cut down."
 As they were speaking a bird flew to the bushes, and, picking up the wool took it to the top of high tree where she was building a nest.
 See" said the father, with this wool the bird will build a warm nest for her young ones. Do you think we ought to cut the bushes down ?''
 No said the boy. we will let them stand"
 Remember, my son. said the fath- CT, that we are all dependent on one another' It seems hard for the sheep to lose some of their wool, but if they had not lost some of it, the young birds would not have such a warm nest.

everything that went on about him, although he seemed to be sound asleep. All at once he pricked up his ears and listened and then ran off as fast as he could, barking furiously. His keen ears had told him that a herd of cattle had broken out of a neigh bors pasture and strayed into the wheat field. and he seemed to know that in short time they could tram pie down many dollars worth of pre- cious grain
 Round and round he ran, until he had them all together in one little cor ner of the field, and there, he kept them through the whole long day un- til the family came home.
 We can imagine how tired he must have been and how glad to see his master, and you may be sure that after that everybody loved him more than ever.

 One day my aunt's dog ran away. They couldn't find him. Soon it was supper time. but they hadn't found him. Then my aunt got his supper ready. The dog and the kitten all ways ate out of the same dish, but the kitten wouldn't eat because the dog wasn't there. Then he went down cellar.
 Pretty soon the dog came home and my aunt got his supper ready, but he wouldn't eat because the kit ten wasn't there
 Then the dog went to the top of the stairs and parked for the kitten, then the kitten came up and they both ate out of the dish. And the dog was so dirty rolling over that the kitten went up and washed him.
