There is, of course, the question of age to be
considered. Shall you start in with an adult or
a young one? The young ones, as a rule, are
delightful little creatures, and if you are truly
fond of Our Dumb Friends you will derive end
less pleasure from their antics.
Don't imagine you can escape certain amount
Of trouble. They all have their ailments and
need careful feeding If they become i'll and you
tend them and bring them through their sickness,
they will be devoted to you for days afterward
In regard to the adults, there is always the
possibility that they may have acquired habits
that are distasteful to you.
The element of luck enters largely into the
matter, and give few hints on the care Of a
number of the well known breeds.
AMERICAN BUSINESS HUSBAND.
This animal is very popular, and justly So He
comes in variety of colors-white, tan, deep red,
mottled, brown and sometimes green. The white
variety is generally desired. There is no animal
known that will take the amount of abuse and
neglect that this one does and still be devoted
and afectionate. Hence his popularity They
are limited in intelligence, their one thought
being the collecting of money. They Will thrive
on almost anything scraps at the table, few
hot words, or anything lying around the room
that comes handy. They may growl at meals, but
a pat on the head will stop that Almost any
sign of viciousness temper can easily be
curbed by threat to go away and leave them.
They hate to be left, but as a species they are
getting more used to it every year.
They dislike European travel, but can be caJoled
into boarding an ocean steamer by promise of an
American bar in Paris. When going through the
Louvre American ladies leave their Business
Husbands in charge of the doorkeeper at the en-
trance with week-old copy of "The Paris Her
AID" and find them patiently waiting for their
owners on their return wagging their letters of
credit affectionately.
Ordinarily they run about all day long with
their tongues hanging out, looking for old dollar
bills so in the evening they naturally too
tired to do anything but sleep in chair next to
radiator.
But il has been discovered that they have
enormous amount of endurance, so they may be

The march of the centuries he's made no change
in this sturdy animal, Their love of hunting
and killing is perhaps their most endearing
quality They will never distress you by coming
home bleeding or mangled, as they do not at

anything except real food properly cooked. This

Fanciers in England claim preposterous human

The Iadx of the Lake.

Dear -Unclle Jed: am reading my book The Lady of the Lake" over again, so I thought I would write a story about the first canto.
 In the Lady of the Lake" Scott describes the Higland character and life as they existed towards the close of the middle ages. In the first canto, entitled The Chase" he begins with an account of a stag hunt in the High lands of Perthshire. The chase lasts very long and one by one the sports men tire and drop off until only one. King James V, pursues the fleeing deer, His horse, worn out with fatigue, stumbles and falls dead. The lone huntsman then pursues his way through a rocky ravine, till ascending a-reclSy height he see Lock Katrine beneath him in all its beauty. After gazing upon the. beautiful scene for a few minutes he blows his horn in the hope of being heard by some of his scattered companions. To his sur prise, little skin. guided by young lady thinking it was her fathers horn tree and approaches the shore.

He sat down by his bedeide and talked with him about his sickness, and what medicine he was taking for 1t. While doing this he tried to get an opportunity to say something about his soul.
 AS he sat there, wondering why he could not speak freely on the subject. a large wasp came buzzing round the sick mans bed. It flew around as if threatening to sting him. This troubled him greatly. The servants were called in. They chased the wasp away from the bed and killed it. The sick man lay exhausted.
 Why were you afraid of the wasp ?'' asked the minister.

Excursion to Moaee.n Park.

Dear Uncle Jed: went to a picnic at Mohegan park, last Tuesday given by our Bible School. We started at our church and went over West Main street up Washington over Broad. up Mckinley avenue and then up the path that leads to the park. The park was very pretty with its roses.
 We went us to the pavilion and some of the older boys picked a team and played ball The younger children played games. After the boys got through with the ball game we all went over to the lake.
 As we came near the lake noticed about seven deer in the woods. Furth- CT up we saw sheep, goats, chickens, pigeons and peacocks. The first thing I noticed on the lake was f1ocks of beautiful ducks and drakes. On the shore was nest of swans.
 Some of the larger boys went in swimming and some of the younger folks went wadding, but I went out rowing with those boys that were camping in the park. .s
 After enjoying ourselves for about an hour we all went on the large pavilion and refreshments were serv- ed.
 After that we played for a while and then went home.

porothy,s Mistake

Mamma, may I have a romp on the lawn with Fido?" asked Dorothy.
 No. Dorothy" replied her mother, T do not think it is best. for you have had Sore throat and you might ca1ch cold"
 Dorothy began to sulk. 'T don't see why 1 can't" said she. "It won't hurt me If I don't stay long"
 tDorothyi" reproyed her mother.
 Dorothy was silent. but she made up her mind to get out some way. She went into the sitting room and lay down on the sofa to think how she could get out without her mother knowing it.
 An hour later her mother came into the room, saying:
 Dorothys wish to go over to Mrs. Wilson's this afternoon. Do you thirk you can keep house for me?"
 "Oh, yes. mammal" replied Dorot ny eagerly. thinking that here was d chance to do what she had been wish ing for.
 After her mother had gone Dorothy put on her wraps, called her little dog Fido, and went out on the lawn. She stayed out half an hour and fine time, but she couldn't help thinking she had done wrong
 When she went into the house her head ached and she felt very hot. She lay down on the sofa and when her mother came home she was very sick. She had to stay in bed for three long, weary weeks, and she never disobeyed her mother again.

Joey Joy, A Rollicking Boy
How Jack Frost Caught Jumbo.

Joe Joy could never tell which part of the year he liked best. In sum mer roaming and fishing and swim ter he found no less joy snowballing. sliding and skating. Life with him was always lively He berried in sum- mer but never burrowed in winter. The sun shines brightest in summer and he noticed the stars seemed near didn't like the thunder and lightninl 4 summer. but he liked to hear the aee groan and sputter in winter when the river ebbed and flow ed cracking 1t, however thick it might be, and grinding it against the shore as it lifted it up and pushed it a little more in shore. He liked the winter battling when the uptown boys met the downtown boys and had fierce encounters with snowbalIs which had been made and wet the night before so they might freeze over night making them more like cannon balls, so that they were more effective. When they did this it was not sport, but simply war and now and then some of the boys were severely wounded. In those days the sectional prejudces and hatred of their elders was shared by the children, who used to join forces and make war with one ahOCneT Tn LnS streets With CiuDS in summer and frozen snowballs in winter. Joey was in many encoun- ters, but the special angels commits stoned to preserve boys from injury never let him get hit
 He used to like to play on the river ice better than he did on the land locked ice because on skates or sled he could open his coat and speed with the wind for mile or two. One time when Joey was going towards the channel he heard the cry:
 Look outi You're on honey comb ed ice." and he looked down and saw the tide had worn little holes through and that he was in great danger of breaking through and no one could have saved him. He dropped as care fully as possible on the ice and gently wrfegled himself back to sound ice while those looking on expected the ice to break and the cold, swift-run- ming waters to swallow him up any moment but Joey wiggied out of that
 And one time when he was skating on the river half mile from home n stumbled and fell and his bare hand went through an airh0fe in the ice into the soft, salt muck beneath and though he pulled it out instantly he could not shut 1t for it was frozen stiff and he was frightened ard cry ing for he couldn't close his hand and he did not know enough about the nsrceness of Jack Frost to know that he was frost bitten; and when he reached home they would not let him go near the stove. but made him thrust his hand in ice cold water and N1nea tho frost came out of his hand

 Our car arrived and we were soon aboard, all eager to get near the win dow so as to enjoy the delightful breeze of the early morning.
 We were at last near our destina- tion, for Lake View station was now being called out.
 The next moment we were off the car and near our summer home.
 "Hurrah!" cried my little brother Earl We are at last here,"
 The next thing we were to do was to lay down our baggage and get things ready for dinner.
 1t was not long before we were seated at table and talking lover the topics of the day.
 After dinner we all helped to fix the dishes in order and set the table fo T supper.
 Then we were all seated on +he piazza, enjoying the beautiful lake My But isn't it just lovelyl" cried the boys Lets see what we c4n find"

Mv w,lk Tbrouuh the Woods.

one day I went for a walk through the woods up to pond near our house I walked slowly and as went along picked wild flowers 1 found daisies. buttercups, mountain laurel and many other kinds whose names l do. not member.
 a I also picked some berries, a few raspberries, bIueberries and blackcaps. here and there, beginning to get ripe.
 The birds were singing very sweet iy. I heard a quail calling "Bob-bob -white!" The sparrows, chickadees, golden orioles and bluebirds also sang very sweetly. While I was listening to the others, I heard another bird scold- ing a little way ahead and looking up. I saw a robin fly from the bushes. l went slowly UP to the spot she flew from and there. fixed so nicely where nothing could harm it, was her nest with four pretty blue eggs in it, 1 went away quickly so the robin conld go back to her nest.
 Then, all at once, I heard the bushes rustling, and two deer came in signt. At first I was frightened: but they ran across the path and did not harm me. There was doe and a buck. They were very pretty.
 I was almost to the pond. l could see the water. I hurried on so would have time to see the little fishes near the edge of the water before noon. Under some stones and boards I found some worms and insects that 1 threw into the water for them. It would have been nice if I had brought some crumbs with me to put on stones for birds and rabbits: but I shall bring some with me the next time I come for walk.
 1 sat down on a stone to rest and looked across the pond. It was very cool up there, and I saw some boys fishing.
 After I had rested enough, I started home, thinking dinner would be ready. I was very happy after my walk and was glad to go home and tell my folks about it.
 They thought that I enjoyed myself very much.

Natura and Her Works.

What wonderful things nature can do, It can make flowers, gardens, grass. trees and many other things grow.
 There are many kinds of beautiful flowers nature makes grow in the summer, and she covers them up in the winter with snow
 Nature makes the gardens grow so we can have food to eat.
 In the fall the grass becomes ycl- low and the trees lose their leav es. leaving the branches bare. In the winter the snow covers up the grass, making everything look bare, but in the spring nature makes the grass become green and the trees have leaves.
 Nature makes the birds eat the bugs from the gardens and the trees.
 Nature makes blueberries grow so that we may pick them.
 Nature gives us beauty. health. pow CT of mind and body.
 Nature is almost everything, in fact.

I want the W1de-Awakes when they have honest convictions to honor them.
 When they think 1t is not right to quarrel. to be true to the thought, which is loyalty to self gaining in honesty.
 When they think they should be quiet because brother or sister is sick or mother nervous, to put in force the good thought; for it is cultivating the habit of consideration for others-a sound Christian habit.
 When they think it is not right to tell of the conduct of a playmate, to decline to do so. In hoHoring such a thought they honor themselves, even though they may be in error.

A trip to the Woods.

Dear Uncle Jed: My teacher. class and l started on a, trip to the woods. where we saw a scarlet tanger which Is about the size of a sparrow. then a cluster of dog-wood leaves.
 On an oak branch saw some pink ish colored balls: they were oak balls and were not ripe yet.
 I saw maple. oak, birch, wild cherry, locust and fern leaves.
 The branches of the trees which I saw were arranged alternate. I took notice of the fronds. The rhizme are rhizoids in the fern. The fronds are the leaves. the rhizome the under ground stem and the rhizoids are the rootlets.
 I saw some moss which is of dark green color, and some winged seeds which were red and green. The green from the elm The winged seeds of the maple are often called maple keys"
 The dandelion contained the tufted seeds.
 The flowers which saw were col umbine, huckleberry blossoms and wiId-Iily- of of -the-valley.
 The ferns were of two kinds, being dark and light in color. and one hay ing a long stem and the other sho<t- CT one
 We did not feel tired after we had walked through the woods so we went on to the fish hatcheries at Cold Spring, where we saw many kinds of fish, some of which came from Cana da. Some of the preserved fish which we saw were very curious. l noticed one small fish with two heads and no tail, sea-horse, rabbit fish and besides these were chickens and ducks. saw chicken with four legs and a duck with two heads.
 The manager told us that the ab- normal fish live very short time.
 When I arrived home saw a birds nest on the beam of our porch roof with five little swallows in 1t, and now I like to watch the mother bird feed them.
