The Candy Pulling.

One afternoon Sadie, Charlie and Hattie were going to have a candy pulling in Mrs. Campton's sunny kitch- en.
 Bridget put on the kettle, with some nice molasses in it. and pretty soon it was boiling and foaming and bubbling. After a while Charlie dropped some of the boiling syrup into a cup of cold water. As it grew hard at once the candy was ready for pulling.
 Now poor little Hattie didn't know that to pull candy the hands should first be buttered, or at least dipped in cold water, to prevent sticking. So she
 took large lump of warm candy without either buttering or wetting her hands. Charlie and Sadie brisk1y worked their candy. pulling it from one hand to the other as 1t grew light and brit tie.
 Hattie's only stuck harder and hard CT to her hands, the poor little child laid down all the candy she could, and made some excuse for running into the garden. She did not want Charlie and Sadie to laugh at her. She hid behind a fence and began
 licking the candy from her hands. All at once Hattie heard a. little gigg1e: Through an opening in the fence she saw pair of bright eyes watching her. The rogufsh Charlie had followed her to find out what was the matter.
 Hattie felt almost like crying when she first saw those laughing eyes; but she was too merry and funloving a lit- tie girl herself for that! e.q : Then Charlie and Sadie were really very kind when they found what the trouble was. They thought they should have told Hattie about using the butter. So they all had a good laugh, and Hattie's little mistake made all the more fun for the happy children. When she went home that afternoon, Hattie had several sticks of nice mo- la-sses candy she had pulled herself Besides that she had learned useful little lesson, which she never forgot.

Goind Away,

Dear Uncle Jed: Margaret is a girl about 14 years old. She has graduated from grammar school and is going to enter high school in a city near her home. She lives on a farm about Is miles from the city. She cannot come home but once a week
 Margaret has never been away be- fore and her mother and sisters feel very lonely to have her go.
 Just as the goldenrod and asters are blowing all over the fields and roadside, Margaret must leave the farm she loves so much and go to the city where everything is exciting to her. but no flowers or birds like those on the farm.
 When the day comes for her to go she packs her suitcase and gets dress ed while her father f1itches Old Gray to the carriage to drive over to the sta- tion.
 It seems as though her heart would break when it Is time to go, but she knows it is for the best and tries to cheer her mother and the two sisters, Mabel and Edna, who think they can- not do without her. MATILDA FAYESKL Age F. Colchester

MRS. eANpER's SUMMER SCHOOL

. Constance M. Lowe. Ibid Mrs. Gander kept school AS perfect as. could be. 3And all the little goslings came To this Academy. They learned the famous goose's step
 Each morning at their drill, And every copy that they wrote Was written with a quill. #Young Bill was often in disgrace And on his form was stood. With dunce's cap upon his head,
 Because he wasn't good. kAnd once, when told he might get
 down,
 He pulled some feathers out: ' Iris thus" he said, that get down. ' And scattered it about. The other goslings cacikled so
 To see the fluffy down, That Mrs. Gander shook her head
 And scolded. with a frown. But lesson time was done at last,
 And soon the geese were seen All playing, as. happy as could be, Upon the village green.

. A Day Trout Fishing.

One day I asked my uncle to go fishing with me. We were to start at 8 o'clock in the morning.
 When my uncle came my mother had a lunch ready for us. We started for Browning's brook.
 When we got there it was 10 o'clock. We started to fish. After we had been fishing for an hour got a bite and pulled out quite a large trout.
 Soon after my uncle. caught one which was not quite as large as the one caught. When noon came we ate our lunch.
 Then we followed the brook until we came to the river where the brook empties. "
 We fiished. along each side of the river, getting quite 8 lot of fish. We were getting, near home when my uncle got a bite and pulled, but his line broke. lowered my line, but the fish did not bite again. .------
 We got home at o'clock. When we got home my mother fried some of the fish, which were good. I hope to go fishing again soon. The trout season is good and we have plenty of brooks where we can fish.

The chipmunk'a Escape.

Dear Uncle Jed: I was sitting in the woods one autumn day when heard a small cry and a rustling amid the branches of 8 tree a few rods be- yond me. Looking thither, amid the branches of the tree, I saw a chip
 on a limb twenty or more feet from
 the ground. He appeared to have
 dropped from near the top Of the
 tree.
 He secured his hold upon the small
 branch that had luckily intercepted his
 fall, and sat perfectly still. In mo-
 ment more I saw weasel-one of the
 small red variety-come down the
 trunk of the tree and begin exploring
 the branches on level with the chip
 munk. saw in g. moment what had hap pened.: The weasel had driven the chipmunk from his retreat in the rocks and stones beneath and had pressed
 him so closely that he had taken refuge in the top of the tree. The, weasel had tracked the frightened chfpmunk to the topmost branch, where he tried to seize him. Then the chipnunk had, in
 horror, let go his hold,- screamed, and fallen through the air, till he struck the branch he sat upon.
 His bloodthirsty enemy was looking for him again, apparently relying en- tirely upon his sense of smell to guide
 him to the game.
 Round and round, up and down, he went on the branches, exploring them over and over. He seemed baff1ed. He
 knew his game was near, but he could
 not strike the spot. The branch upon the extreme end of which the chip
 munk sat ran out and up from the | tree, seven or eight feet, and then turned a sharp elbow.
 The weasel would pause each time at this elbow and turn back. It seem ed as if he knew that particular
 branch held his prey, and yet its l crookedness each time threw him out He would not give 1t up. but went | over this course again and again. In the course of five or six minutes ! the weasel gave up the search, and
 ran i1urried1y down the tree to the ground. The chipnunk remained nrotion1ess l for a long time; then he stirred lit- | tie, as if hope were revivtng. Then | he looked rervously about him: ther he recovered himself, so far as tc change his position. Presently he be-
 gan to move cautiously. along the branch to the hole of the tree; then after a few minutes delay; he pluck
 ed up courage to descend to the ground
 where, I hope, no weasel has disturbed him since. | . | MAY DANAHY. l Norwich

escape from the city, but thousands met death in the houses and streets.
 It was a volcano. Clouds of ashes fel1 on the country for miles around. Bright flashes like lightning could be seen at the mountain top. The sea seemed to roll back from the shore. The earth shook and tall buildings fell to the ground.
 Great rocks from the mountain came on the city, and the city was soon buried beneath ashes and cinders. There were very few people who escaped from the city. CATHERINE NELSON, Age 12. Voraai1Iea

Attacked hx Wolves.

Once upon 8 time a young man whose name was George Griscona. was sent by his employer to the northern part of Canada George lived in the southern part Of Canada.
 As soon. as George had his orders he went to stable and engaged two horses attached to a sleigh and a driver, and started out in the morning about eight o'clock. The farther George went in the sleigh the lonelier it seemed.
 Soon it began to snow Hsae, and then harder and harder, until the road was covered with snow about a foot deep. When he came to the forest, he heard the bowling of wolves coming after them, so the driver made the horses go faster, but the wolves got closer and closer until they were about a rod away from. the sleigh.
 George then took rife and aimed at the pack and shot. Bang! Bang! The pack stopped to eat the carcass Of the two wolves that were shot dead Then the horses were made to go faster, and faster, until George, the driver horses and sleigh were safe and sound at their restination.

JUNGLE JEp'S TALK TO WIDE
 & AWAkES.

Just now lots of boys and girls
 xe "to go a greening" which means
 rove the fields and dig the dande-
 Hons on warm and sunny slopes.
 The dandelion is a medical plant kike the lettuce and endive and used
 Bo be grown in the herb-gardens of
 Id countries hundreds of years ago,
 Ind 1t is because of its healing quail
 lies that it was called taraxacurn, but
 |ho one can tell why 1t was called the
 dan- de-fion, any more than they can IteT why the little edible yellow prim- rose is called the cowslip. These conn mon names were given the plants so many hundred years ago that they have lost their connection with their whyfores.
 How pretti1y the golden blossoms star the green grass on these bleak fays and because of this a, poet wrote 8pf them: ITO look at thee unlocks a
 Farmer c1ime."
 Perhaps you have not noticed how
 iandelions suit themselves to condi- 4tions In the open lot they make TO- Sbust plants and hold their flowers on long stems up to the sun: but on lawns where they are cut and clipped by the lawn mower they do not seem to have any stem but just hug the i ground to escape the revolving knife. No one knows how long ago it was that the da1deiion discovered that i It's seeds must all have flying ma chine, but 1t is quite likely the wind was invited to carry the seeds to new Aaelds and drop them in soft mold be-
 lore the birds knew how to fly. You know the fluffy globe chil- aren hold and blow to pieces that 1t ] may tell them how old they be. The i seeds not ripe enough to let go are counted and these tell one's age. It is because of these fluffy globes i which are swept away by the wind that these flowers are said to change to vanishing ghosts. And little girls take the long stems of the dandeIions, split them. andwet
 them with their tongue when they roll Into curls, and they push them up un- der their hats and wear them in play The reason the stem curls is because fthe inner sap tubes suck up the
 
 moisture which causes the stem to
 swelI and lengthen on the inside | which causes it to curl on the out tide. It is the growing of one side l ,f a stem faster then the other which causes all stems to twine and cling 70 supports.
 If you should see an endive plant you would know it was first cousin 10 the dandelion; but you would never \ nistrist it was second cousin to the
 lettuce unless some one told you: and l The lettuce is first cousin to the milk, weed, the tender tops of which make uch fine greens.
