A Letter from the Country.
Dear mamma, know you'll be looking
For letter today from me;
So I'll sit me right down by the window
And write you just what see.
A busy speckled mother hen.
With eleven little chicks,
Is scratching very earnestly
Around a pile of sticks.
A noisy turkey gobbler
Is strutting near the shed,
So very angry that the blood
Has all rushed to his head.
There are two white calves, half hidden
In their clover beds;
The four brown tips a-peeping
Are wee horns upon their heads. =.
Eight funny little piggies
And each as quick as wink;
The little scampers wear a dress
OF thin white over pink.
Bridget with her skirt pinned up,
Is milking Brindle Bess;
Old Tab, the cat is waiting
For a saucerful, I guess.
There are swallows darling from the
caves,
Doves cooling on the barn
Oh, my! a robin just flew past,
With a bit of yarn.
There are cows and sheep and horses,
Chickens and ducks and geese,
And only think, a dear pet lamb,
That has a dark brown fleece.
The apple blossoms fill the air
With just the sweetest smell
Dear mamma, 1 would write you more,
But there's the breakfast bell.
P. S.-TeH papa that really think
For little girls and boys,
The country is q nicer place
Than cities full of noise.

STORIES


The name Connecticut is taken from
the Idian and means Long River"
This name was given to the Connect
cut river and later as the river flowed
through what was then termed the
west, the name was also given to our
state.
AS early as 1884 the settlement of
Connecticut was begun, but a pern1a-
nent settlement was not made until
1885.
Emigrants from Boston founded
WetheFsfeld and Windsor in 1886.
In the autumn of the same year an
English company sent a band under
John Winthrop, who built a fort at
Saybrook, at the mouth of the river.
In the charter given Winthrop by the
nor of the River Connecticut"
The next year. when the flowers were
in bloom and the weather was warm,
the Rev. Thomas Hooker of Cam
bridge, Mass, with a band of one
hundred men, women and children,
started for Connecticut.
With them they took their cattle,
hogs and household goods.
1t was tfreless journey and there
were no roads or boats to bring them
across streams. At last, after a jour-
ney of two long weeks, they reached
Hartford, which then was only a small
settlement; now it is a. large city and
the capital of the state.
The next year war was declared
on the PeQuots, an Indian tribe who
had a very strong village at what is
now Mystic. The cause of this war
was that the Pequots were very hostile
towards the white settlers.
The tribe was soon overcome and
after hunting the woods for a few
months it was practically destroyed
Two years later, 1889, the famous
Connecticut constitution was formed,
and it is noted as the first form of
government made "by the people for
the people" Later on, the constitution
of the United States was formed in
the same manner. Therefore, the Con-
necticut constitution may be said to be
the father of all those that came after
1t.
Today Connecticut is rich in soil and
manufactures. When we say rich in
soil we mean that it is rich in agri-
cultural products.
It's leading cities are New Haven,
Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New
London. Norwich, Willimantic and
many others. All these are rich in
manufactures, and New London has a
fine harbor.
The success of this state is the fruit
Of the mems labors who as settlers

AWAkES.

do not know how the Wfde-Awakes
regard the barefoot boy. whether they
look askance at him or gaze at him
with envy.
Most of the older citizens can re-
member when the greater part of the
boys and part of the girls went bare
foot all summer, and they had sore feet
from stubbed toes and stone gals,
brown faces, hands and legs and red
cheeks
It has become proverbial that the
barefoot boy is seldom seen among the
Juvenile patients of the doctors. He is
such a representative of health and JOY
that the poets have sung about him
and the great artists have painted him
upon canvas to adorn the walls of
6alaces.
1t is good for a boy to have his feet
N the warm ground and feeling the
currents of air and electricity. It is
less an indication of poverty than it is
pf good sense.
Every boy who wants to go barefoot
yhould have the privilege, because 1t is
The most natural thing in the world
or him to do.
Asdoctor writes: Most all foot trou-
les among children, we believe, are
caused by bad footwear. There is
nothing better for child's foot or any
other persons foot than freedom and
exercise-nothing better than the re-
moval of the sp1int, the brace which
constitutes the shoe. A boy
can absorb a lot of sunlight through
his shanks if he gets half a chance.
II increases his hemoglobin, his red
blood cells. his digestive capacity. his
resistance against disease"
Our Wide-Awake boys should all
ali have a chance to go barefoot and
sensible parents raise no objections.
A we'll known physician says: Give
me my choice between the barefoot boy
and his unfortunate shoed and stock
inged brother and 1 should be reluct-
antly compelled to choose the coddled
one, being, as you might say, doctor
following the sick for a living. Some

MurieI,s Pet Cat.

Dear Uncle Jed: I'm going to tell
you about our kitty. We found him
in the ash barrel two years ago. He
was a little kitten then. Now he is
big cat. and weighs II 1-2 pounds.
He is tiger cat. We say he has a
white shirt bosom because his fur. is
white under his throat. He is quite
to the manor born. Ali he will eat is
salmon. potatoes, beefsteak and milk.
He has never stayed out at night
since we had him, but always sleeps
on his bed on the top cellar stair. If
he wants to go outdoors he will try
to turn the door knob with his paws.
If we go in a room where he is and
say, Are you here, Pepper" he will
say: "Purr! Purr!"
If he is upstairs and we call him he
will talk in his cat way all the way
down the stairs. Sometimes he will
walk over the piano keys ever so many
times and seems to enjoy the sound
We often find him asleep or top of the
piano.
He will jump ever so high over your
hands and sometimes he romps
through the house, upstairs and down
stairs several times
You ought to see the rugs when he
gets through. The house looks as if
there had been a hurricane.
He likes to play with the water
when it drops from the faucet at the
sink. Don't you think he is a funny
cat?

Soon these were done and we ate

If you have your things done you
nutmeats, Louise chopped them. See
the sugar is beginning to melt, I will
stir it until 1t is a golden brown, then
put the nutmeats in Rose"
Hurry! bring the CREASED pan and
rolling pin, put the meats in. Rose,
you may pour the candy on the pan;
and Louise roll It as thin as waters.
Now we will set 1t to cool for several
minutes. Only first we will mark it
off with a sharp knife and lay the
knife on the mark and pound 1t
gently with the rolling pin.
Let's each take a piece and 90
back to the parior. only will put the
dish to soak"
We went back to the parior each
having a piece.
Soon they all left and said they
wouhl make it often.
1t is very economical, too, because
you put in it only the sugar and nut
meats.
