STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE
 INTAKES.
Nohody'e Cat.

She ought to have been "Somebodys cat" for she was pretty creature, with a jet black coat, white hood and cape and long white naittens; but mo- body owned her. nobody cared for her, and so she came to live in my garden.
 I could not take her into the house, because Tommo, my great yellow cat, would have eaten her up; but fed her every morning from the dining room window.
 The moment opened the window up popped the white head, with an eager 'gMi-au-ow!" and poor pussy was al- ways so very hungry that I was sure nobody else fed her.
 She slept at night curled up among the dry leaves at the foot of the elm tree. On cold mornings she used to sit huddled in a pile of leaves until Susan came out to sift the ashes; then the moment Susan was gone she jump ed into the ashbin and sat on the hot ashes to warm her cold toes. Some- times I would hear a piteous aaueal and then I knew she had burned her poor cold toes, but she only jumped cn the edge of the bin, and waited a few minutes until the ashes were cool enough to sit on comfortably, and then went back to them.
 One day found her playing with a Elou5c, and after that she caught mice every day. and in this way helped me a great deal, for my fine Master Tom cept Dunble5ee when it a1ighted on his no~e. So, after all. Nobody's cat was useful to st melody. while Some body's cat was useful to Nobody.

My Guineaa


 Dear Uncle Jed:--About five weeks ago my big sister gave me a. setting of suinea eggs. As we had no setting hen just then I kept them few days.
 When hen wanted to set. took a box and put some damp dirt in the bottom and then put in hay enough for good nest. Then I put in the eggs. and the hen went on the nest, and I put another box over her so she wouldn't jump off
 In the morning took off the top box and fed her. She had settled
 down in the nest so I did not put the box on again.

Her Lessons in School.

Dear Uncle Jed:-I am going to tell you about the lessons I had in school last year. I was in the fifth grade and I expect to go into the sixth grade this year.
 We had very nice teacher. She is coming back again this year.
 Our school began at nine o'clock in the morning and at half past ten we had a recess; and at 12 we roInp home to dinner. We come back again at one o'clock in the afternoon, and at half past two we had a recess. As soon as we all get in we have sing ing lesson which lasts half an hour, then we go to work on arithmetic, and when the teacher gets done hearing the arithmetic classes we have recess.
 After recess we study on our read ing and our spelling; then it is time to go home to our dinner. At one o'clock in the afternoon we have drawing then we have reading or history which ever we study. I study history. Our teach

Double Morning GIories..

Dear Uncle 'Jed:-About three months ago I planted some Morning Glory seeds around a trellis. When they came up they did not STOW a bit, for three weeks. Then they grew so fast I thought that they were grow Ing about two inches a day; now they are all growing we'll and have reached the top of the trellis eight feet high.
 They are all in bloom now. There are red, royal purple, blue, and white ones.
 Some of the white flowers are from a different packet and are double Morning Glorfes. They are some thing new this season, and are very handsome.
 I shall try to describe them. They are like one large lily inside, encircled by a wreath of fine feathery petals They are snow white and have a very graceful appearance. They are not fragrant however. but add greatly to- wards variety of flowers.

A Pretty Place in Weodstoek.

Dear Uncle Jed:--I have for some time read your letters and stories which have found to be very inter. esting.

 Tn those days the people were
 troubled by the Indians. At one time
 the Indians became so fierce that the
 men built a fort and left their wives
 and children there. while the work
 was being done in the fields. Once when the women and children
 were alone ir' the fort, some vegetables
 were needed for their dinner. No one
 dared venture out put Baehshepa h a
 grandmother of Oliver. She took a big basket and went through long path into the garden. where she gath cred the fresh vegetables and took them back to the fort
 Mary years afterwards. when she was an old woman. poor Indian came to her door. She gave him food and he told her this story:
 He asked her if she remembered go- ing to the garden with a basket years ago: when the women were in the fort' She told him she dids He said he saw her leave the fort and intended to kill her with his bow and arrow. He hid in some bushes near the path and was just about to let the arrow fly when something within him seemed to tell him to stop, and she passed safely by. After she was gone he thought him self a foolish Indian not to have hred at her, and decided to have her life when she went to the fort. He watch ed for her return, but he felt the same power holding him back He stole away to the other Indians, wondering why he did not shoot her. He thought it was God who held his arm and saved her, and after that he looked upon her as one under the care of the Indians God.

Girls, have you ever heard of a fifteen minute blouse? Isn't 1t the most fascinating title for blouse that you over heard? It means. of course, that it. takes fifteen minutes to make 1t Just imagine, you can have a styi- ish blouse, in a quarter of an hour, making it yourself. for it is just as simple as can be. It is made in the cutest way. starting first by making too Ifa you feel afraid to try on a piece of goods first. make a. pattern, and see whether you understand the principle under which the design works
 First, you want goods yard wide, or you will have to piece your blouse. and that will take time. and then it will not be a fifteen minute blouse. The first one that was made in my house was not a fifteen minute affair, for the girls were so anxious to try the pattern that they would not wait to get some yard-wide material, but went to work and made a blouse out of some narrow material They had to piece it, and it would have been a sorry looking affair with a seam right across the shoulder and down the arm only the girls inserted a piece of mar row lace where the seam came, and it looked very pretty, indeed.
 Now. to make your blouse. take your yard-wide material and measure on and cut a square from it, taking the width of the goods, one yard, as your guide. Take the lower right-hand cor ner of your goods and bring it up and across to the upper left hand corner Then fold the goods again, bringing the right-hand upper point over to the left-hand upper point. You will ther have a triangular figure.

The vacation is over and our Wide- AWakes must all return to their schools and their studies and it is to be hoped they do so cheerfully and with a resolution to get good lessons and high marks every day.
 It is not so long ago that the schocls in the cities of New Englard had only half the time now given in vacations. The month of August used to be the long vacation and it seemed so long to the little boys and girls. that r,any of them felt glad when thev heard the bells ringing to lcal1 them together again. as many of them do now.
 Uncle Jed pities the little boy or girlnwhe does not like to bear the he'll ring which calls them toeether for study. He did not like to hear it and he knows what 1t cost him and that is how he knows what, twill cost therr-
 Only the teanherrknnws what a trial the pupil is who CwhisncrsI and dallies and plays in the schoolroom when he should study. It is only hard to get a lesson when you do not set your mind upon your work. The price of knowledge is study.
 There are three things required In the school room for success: Obe- dience! Di,igence! Patience!
 Obedience that you may honor your self by honoring the rules of the school and be a good examole to others.
 Diligence that you may learn your lessons and rank high in vour studies when the reports are made out.
 Patience that you may keep sweet and polite and unruff1ed when some thing annoying occurs over which you have no control.
 And these three irnuortant words are just as good for the teacher as for the puril. because:
 Obedience is the mother of success! Diligence is the star of industry! Patience is the euide tn genius!
 Most of the wide-Awakes have beer promoted and from new books vii explore new fields of learning: ane this should inspire more intense desire to learn.

Ono day last summer papa and my sister and brothers went to get some berries about mile frcn our house.
 We left the house at o'clock and about 10 o'clock we had picked 12 quarts; so we put them under large maple tree and papa put his straw hat on the pail so that no one would touch them. and went away to get some more. S we had picked 10 quarts. Papa said: sfIet us go and get our

MiIford's 275th Anniversary.

Dear Uncle Jed.-I attended the Stonington celebration of August 8, g, 10. and was in the parade of school children. Seeing others have written about the Stonington celebration 1 will write about the 275th anniversary day, August 22.
 I went from Bridgeport in an auto- mobile with my aunt and uncle and in the center of Milford is a large green and the automobiles were parked as thick as they could stand all around it.
 At the head of the parade was the Governors Foot Guard with their band. In the parade were a great many floats. There were a great many more then in the Stoninston parade. Among them was the First congregatIonaI church of Milford The first buggy wagon ever used in Mill ford was in the parade, and was drawn by an old horse and was oc- cupied by two old residents dressed ir ancient costumes.
 The fire company presented a fine appearance. The various bands anC drum corps played patriotic music.
 A platform was erected in the cen ter of the green for the speakers and invited guests. Many others tooh possession of it, and while the Mfrs speaker was giving his address a par of it collapsed. The addresses were giDen as scheduled.
 Quick as the exercises were over the carpenters repaired the platform and the pageant was given on it 1T the evening surrounded by many hun. dreds of electric lights. It was an ideal day,and the celebra- ton was very good from beginning tC end.
 Milford was first settled in 1889. I has a Memorial Stone Bridge and iS at present erecting a Memorial Mill by subscription in conlmemoration of the founding of the town at the site of " Fowler's Mill, the first Grist Mil erected in New England. EMILY C. HANCOCK, Age 14. Old Mystic.

 Mother and father were putting up sandwiches. We started out for Watch Hill. We landed in the city. at half past seven We walked around the dock and went into the stores a1idt had ice cream. We took the trolley car to New London and the boat to. Watch Hill. We went in bathing and rode on the hobby horses. s, -
 When the boat came in all rushed for the dock. Soon all were on board and she started out. We stopped at, New London. landed in Norwich about half past six. Then we went to the show.
