Robin Redbrsast.

A long time ago in the north a man and a boy were watching a fire. This they had to watch night and day; If 1t went out the white bear would have the land The boy and the man took turns Tn watching.
 : Unfortunately the man fell sick and the boy had to watch the fire all alone. He watched night and day until he was so tired he fell asleep. The white bear saw 1t and jumped on the fire until he put 1t out.
 A robin seeing. a spark, famed 1t with his wing. A flame sprang, up and burned the breast of the robin. but stilf he would not give iip. and the boy got his rest and the land was saved. but the robin carries red breast to this day. GEORGE A, KASS, Ago Ii.

The Fair.


 We were all very glad the fair was to begin. The first. day being Column bus day there was a large crowd. At eleven o'clock accompanied by my brother, sister and my mother we started for the fair. The outside was decorated with American flags.
 In the midway they were raffling of Teddy bears. dolls, clocks. and other articles.
 i We got tired walking up and down so we went in the main hall where there were all kinds of vegetables jcweiry, embroidery and fancy work. Wo went on the grand stand and were not very long seated when the stage performance began. It was very good. They had the high wire walker; the ostrich race. trapeze per- foEmanee and two little midgets box ing, all dressed in pink.
 After %Ie performance was. over we were tired. and at six o'clck we went home.

A Doa Nero,

A young lad in a town of southern Michigan owes his life to Shafter, his pet dog.
 Che winter Leo, Shafter's master. was coasting with a small party of other boys. The hill they were on was steep and particularly dangerous be- cause of several railroad tracks at its foot that the coasters, in their swift descent, would be obliged to cross.
 The boys were having a merry time ard Shafter was enjoying the coasting az much as any one of the party when, as they prepared for another descent, the dog heard the whistle of an engine iIi the distance. He leaped from the sled and pulled his young master on by the coat collar.
 The coasters had nearly reached the track when a train came around a curve. The boy who was steering tried to turn the bobs into the gutter but the path was icy and the rear bot sled swerved entirely around and slowed SO that the pilot of the engine struck 1t. instantly killing the boy who had taken Leo's place.

wintsrina Bees.

Many bees die because they cannot endere the severe winters. They should be kept fin the cellar or some ocher place of shelter. where they VIII eo9Arme very little food The cellar should be carefully prepared and care should be taken i'm its ventilation throughout the winter. The bees should be put in before the coldest weather sets in. and when the hives are perfectly dry. This last caution ts very essential.
 The cellar should be made perfectly dark. and the hives should be so ar ranged that the light from a lamp when going into it will not strike the entrance. It should be kept as nearly as possible at temperature of t5 de- grees. The hives should be placed on q rack raised two feet from the cellar bottom The honeyboard should be rsoveo to uncover about one-half inch along the upper edge of the brood ckamber. Rows may be piled one above the ether. to rest on slats or laid across however. is to be had for the inde- penience of each row so that examtna- tion may be made when any particular | hive requires it. A good method Is to raise the honeyboard and place nar- row s-ats across the frames and then place these on warm quilt or cloth | which will absorb moisture and allow some ventilation. The entrance of the hives should not be closed, but left at for summer work. If rats and mice I abound, cats should be employed to rid the collar of them. but the entrances must not be closed on any account. I As the weather moderates towards spring. the windows of the celial should be opened after dark at evening I and then closed before 1t is light 1T tho morning. Bees should not be taker from their cellar quarters until thu weather iS somewhat settled and theri

 The two boys had been forbidden to go sv imrning until the weather became niilder. and they had disobeyed. And vixen both of them came down with coles at the same time Roberts mother thought 1t rather suspicious.
 You didn't go swimming. did you?" '.No, we didn't go swimming" Harry answered quickly. T guess we must have got in a draught somewhere"
 And 1t was nearly a week later when Roberts mother happened to hear through the mother of still another boy that Harry had not told her the truth.
 Anc what do you think Robert did when hlS mother charged him with his deceit? Why. at once he declared he had not told an untruth. Harry was tue cne who said they had not been Swimming. --.-- He himself had never said a word. And he did not seem to realize that foI him to try to hide under Harry's fGlFehcod was just as dishonest and even more cowardly than to have sPcken the falsehood himself.
