Tempe and Her Horse.

At the time of the Revolutionary war which the United States had with England, there was a little girl in New Jersey named Tempe. Tempe was the owner of very beautiful horse.
 One afternoon as Tempe was slow ly riding home on her horse she was met by a company of soldiers. dressed in continental uniform.
 Two of the men stepped in front of her and told her to stop. She stopped and the soldiers told her they want ed her horse. They had the right to levy on anything they wanted. And as this was very nice horse they said they could make good use of it.
 Tenpe thought she would show them that a Jersey girl had will of her own, and if they wanted her property they would have to do more than ask for it.
 Suddenly when the soldiers thought Tempe was going to disuaouIlt, she dashed between two of the men. af- ter giving her spiFited horse a sharr cut Htth the whip, and was down the road before the soldiers knew what happened.

4 s.d Boy Tha. Did Nc. Obey.

Dear Uncle Jed: Once there was a little boy whose name was Phil Deane. This little boy had a very sad habit of not obeying.
 Phil lived in the city, but he and his father and mother were going t1 spend the sumner at Phil's grand fathers farm in the country.
 Phil was always glad when sum- naer came, because he liked to go to the farm where he could help his grandfather drive the cows to pas : ture; and when the hueldeberries were ripe he would gather them and his Rrandnofher would make him liked. because he couldn't get many pies in the city with huclleberries in.

 One day PhfPs grandfather was in the barn painting boat and Phil was watching him.
 After looking around Phil spied a gun in back of the barn door. He looked to see if his grandfather was looking and he was.
 But in a few minutes he tried again. and this time his grandfather wasn't looking so he took the gun. The next minute Phil was saying, Lookout father, I'll shoot you.'' But his father shouted, Don't move my soni"
 Phi not understanding did shoot He didn't shoot his father, but he did shoot his grandfatherss good old COW Phil was so sorry he nearly cried his eyes out over the COW, but this would never make the good old COW

A Penu,yIxania Farn1house..

Dear Uncle Jed: The house built like most other of fai <houses in that part of the country, of stone, stood near the bottom of a rounded knoll ioxeFhanging the deep, winding val ley.
 It was two stories in height, the gable looking towards the road, aud showing. just under the broad double chimney and limestone slab upon which were rudely carried the initials of the builder and his wife, date s1T27.1
 A low portico overgroBn with woodbine and trumpet flower, ran along the front. In the narrow flow CT bed under it the crocuses and daf- fodills were beginning to thrust up their blunt, green points
 A walk by fiagstones separated them from the vegetable garden, which was bounded at the bottom by mill race, carrying half the ater of the creek to a grist mill on the other side of the road.

A Hard Task.

One fine day in June at the time Of year when vegetables should be up and growing, and when farmers groan on aeconnt of weeds, MT. Smith hap pened in one evening and mentioned among other things the presence of these same bothersome little parasites in his garden.
 didn't say anything at the time about pulling weeds, but I thought it would be a good way to earn some money. It was s o'clock when went to bed that night thinking would go down and see him in the morning.
 awoke early next morning and al half past [ was on my way down to Mir. smiths. At o'clock 1 went into the garden and began pulling. First started to weed a row of beets. The weeds were so thick couldn't tell which was which, and I guess I pulled up as many beets as I did weeds. He only alloNeT me one cent row, and 1t took me an hour and a half to weed this one. At that rate knew would not earn much.
 It was o'clock and had just fin ished my tenth row when MT. Smith appeared. He looked at the weeds ] had pulled and then looked at me He didn't look as if he thought ffez were all weeds. Mir. Smith gave rne ten cents and he said he wouldn't need me the following day. and didns' think he would either! ! have never been anxious to pull weeds sinee

UNCLE JEp,s TALK TO WIDE
 ANRAkEs.

When I WAS a boy those in authority rsed to tell me to mind my P's and QH
 You do not knew what that means? Well, perhaps it is best explained in the saying: "Be sure you are right, then go ahead!"
 ItWas a suggestion that it is well to do things accurateIy--to be careless aenut nothing. which is true
 IL was a broad hint for me to keep wfde-asyake so as to see every oppor- tuRtty which presented itself to me.
 do not think have minded my P.s and oss as well as might, but the warning was not lost, for I have notion # helped in many ways, and 1t ought to help you.
 have sometimes thought it had a direct reference to the copy book in which the P's and Q's were among the most difficult letters of the alpha bet to make well, and by minding them the work of making them would be made easy.
 By learning to look out for our P's and Q's we get a habit of doing things nethodically in all the walks of Iife- we are learning to overcome faults which might hinder us in most unex- pected ways-We are becoming con drmed in good and profitable habits.
 Perhaps no one has told you yet to mind yoir. Pss and Q,s, and it has fall en to Uncle Jed to warn you to be atcst-to do things on honor. not in a sltpshod way.
 Of course, this might mean mind your perils and your quarrels, your prayers and your quarters, your par cnts and your quizzers; but whatever meaning you put into your P's and Qs seems to count for good habits and good conduct.
 It means for you and I to keep our eyes on our work and our hearts in it, and to show interest in all we do. To do work because we like it. not be- cauee we have to do it.
 So mind your P's and Q's and you will be as careful about your think ing as about your writing or your do- ing.
 It Is one way to become wide-awake to little duties. and finally to every responsibility in life.

Yes! We are a proud family, and have many reasons for being so. 1n- deed, your ancestors are somewhat to blame, if blame exists, as many oaks can remember when we were rever- enced, and your people had laws pun ashing anyone who dared to trouble one of the oak family.
 You talk much about the German culture, yet I myself can remember when the Germans used to say the deep indentations in an oaks bark were the pafhWays of the fairies. They wsre right. fool Real fairies do travel up and down the seams of our rough 0Vercoats, as you may say yourselves before you graduate.
 But here PIn running on about my self and family when you merely wanted to know how plants grow Most of us trees grow or start from our fruits; but there are many of my nefghborS in and about The Pool who not only start from fruits, but ara a little underhanded in gaining homes and valuable real estate locations even if they are my near neIghbors. They actually tunnel to a desirable lot and immediately proceed to build
 They send out engineers named Rootstocks that are not only masters in the work but are energetic workers. There is another neighbor that not orIx propagates it's family by fruits too. spends both time and energy in building long arms carrying young plants to new positions. Oh, they are pushing, but they never can reach the oaks position with all of their contriv- ing.
 We all grow, but. like you, have our beginning, rnaximunn. decline and ces- satfon of groWth-a growth limited from q short hour to thousands of years according to the plant.
 I am beginning to believe what is growth to you Is only a part of what 1t is to me. You think bulk We see bulk and change often the change Uith6ut any apparent bulk.

THE POOL


 Animals are born in full form while plants start from only two parts, and often with less Animals can increase only in size of parts; plants can in- crease in size and pasts. Animals that lose a part must work without it; plants that lose 9 part can generally build new one if needed. Animals have a circulating fluid for growth, repair, warmth and cleansing; plants have a circulating fluid tor growth re- pair. cleansing and building anew. An imals sleep; so do plants. Animals breathe; So do plants. Animals per- Spire; so do plants.
 But the plant does things the animal cannot do. Both need the clements stored in Mother Earth's bins, bllk the animal can get most Of them only as aided by the plant. Indeed. you hu- mans would soon starVe to death if we plants ceased to be active.
 No, no! Master Edward, your meat would soon give out if the animals could not find any plants
 Growth, then, with us means much more than bulk. It must be perma- nent and brought about by some power within when acted upon by the servants of that outer force the sun Indeed, we are individual canning fac tories. We can not only get water min erals, etc, from the industry of our root-points and Their corps of rootIets but we can what the sun brings to us from the outside.
 As Nellie told her teacher: sPlants are carbon sticks. We advertise our canning actively by throwing out thousands of leaflets printed in the very latest styles, coTored, water, marked and graded, and drop them all as we close I'D our bottIing works fol our annual vacation.
 Now let me advise you 10 go home and continue this investigation: work with an actual dissection of Kernels oi corn, then return to me when the weather is more favorable and I car show you my leaf form for. GRANDPA LoWATER.

Dear Uncle Jed: Robert Fulton as inventor of the steamboat did much good for the whole world,
 Robert Fulton was born over hun dred years ago. His father died when he was a young boy. His mother be- ing left a poor widow, taught her son all she possibly could. When he be- came older she sent ilinl to school. He was very industrious in pointing and drawing and paid very little attention to other studies.
 In the year 1907 Robert Fulton, after many difhcnlties, made an attempt up on the steamboat Clermont It was a very clumsy steamboat, so the people called it rFAiltonls Folly
 His first trip was made from New York to Albany, l60 miles. When the steamboat slowly moved there was a great rush of the people to see the wonderful invention. People came to see 1t for many miles. It also had many important results.
 Fulton was honored all over the world for his great invention.

s The two best things about Captain John Smith were that he was never idle and he never gave up. He was a good man to have in a colony, for he was always trying te find out something, or to accomplish some great thing.
 He had not found way to China in the swanps on the Chickallominy river, he had only found a mud hole, and got himself captured by the In dians. sbut he thought he might find the Pacific ocean by sailing up the { sCl1esapeatSe bay. So he went twice up this bay. exploring at last to the very head of it.

One day this fall there was a spar row who had built a nest in my hed- room blind.
 One morning got up from bed and began to dress for breakfast when I heard a cry as if in pain. opened the window and saw that the spar row had a broken wing.
 I brought him down stairs and put him in a. cage I had in the house and gave him some bread and water. Af- ter he was warmed up baIldaged up his wing. A few days later his wing was all better. put some cotton in his nest and set him down. gave him crumbs every morning.
 Early every morning he sits near the window and sings sweet song.

st. Jolnn,s River.


 The St. Jchn,s river is the natural avenue of Florida, although since the year 1881 more than a thousand miles of railroad have been built in the state. The mouth of the liver for a distance of many miles forms a beau tiful harbor of which Jacksonville, 15 miles distant from the sea, Is the port town. It Is a river of sWamps. pal nettoes and orange groves. @
 The river is lazy and calm. The fruits of the tropics and of almost all zones wave in the air when Q breeze breaks the silence and sleep of nature. Great ailigators sleep amid the tall reeds and white lilies and are some times seen; birds of gorgeous pluInage doze amonY the eternal green of swanps and savannahs; the air is lam guid and the boatman's oars slowly rise and fall.
 There are little towns everywhere. Magnolia is city partly sunk in a green sea of nagnoIias and live oaks. Jacksorvifie is So named in honor of Andrew Jackson, who was an early governor of Florida. The city sprang into life. It's docks are full of ships and piles of yellow pine lumber. It is now the terminus of six railways.
