The Pilgrims.

Dear Uncle Jed:-The Pilgrims were people who did not live happy be- cause the king of England wanted them to worship God the way he did. So they started for Holland, but still they were not satisfied because their children began to talk Dutch, so they started off in the Mayfiower.
 They landed at Plymouth Dec 21, 1920. Miles Standish and his men walked around to see what they could when they heard the noise of arrows flying through the air. Then they ran to the boats and got their guns. They fired and the Indians ran away, but one Indian who was brave, hid be- hind a tree, but when the chips from the tree began to fly he ran away CATHERINE M. D. BUCKLEY, Age

Mrs. Goose Like. Uncle Ben.


 Dear Uncle Jed: I have an Uncle Ben who lives in the country. He has more than a hundred fowls When he fed them it was a pretty sight to see them eat.
 Among these fowls was a large white goose. She grew to be very fond of Uncle Ben- She ran when the others did, and it was funny to see her try ing to get there first.
 When all the other fowls were fed, they went off; but Mistress Goosey stayed and followed Uncle Ben just like dog. When he put the horse to a cart she stood by. When he went to the spring Goosey went, too. If he stopped she did; when he went on again, she quit eating the grass and waddled after him. She had no little ones. or it would have been pretty to see her teach all her family to love old Uncle Ben.
 Brutes will love those who are kind to then.

The Prince and the Spider.

Once there was prince who had escaped from battle field and he had nothing but a faithful servant. He had no home and did not dare to go to peoples houses for fear his ene- mics would find him. So he went to the woods.
 When they had gone a little way they came to a cave.
 The servant said: Yet us hide here. D But the prince was afraid and said I've will be found.'
 The servant said: God will take care of us,'' so they went in.
 At last they got to sleep. In the morning they heard voices outside. It was their enemies.
 One said, "They might be hiding here'
 Can you not see that the web is unbroken,' said another.
 So they went on their way.
 Then the servant said: "Seei God sent the little spider to deliver us.

living at acknowledgements, near
the kings palace, when she learned
that 4 had been decided to place h1m

she went to the palace to warn the
King. when refused admission, she
raised such a tumult that she was

She kept a warm place In her heart
