LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
They Had a Clam Bake. 4


 Dear Uncle Jed: I must tell you this last vacation.
 My cousin, a young lady, promised us some day we should have a clam bake. So one day she came down with every thing that was needed for a good c1am-bake.
 We went to the pond and we selected a clear place. We hung up our hats on tho bushes. There were five of LIS and we dug a hole and made wells on three sides; then we put a sheet of tin with a hole in the center, on which we placed the kettle with the clans. As we were tending to the fire my brother went to the garden which was nearby and got some potatoes and onions.
 While one of us waz tending to the fire the rest went out rowing and fishing. We did not get a fish. guess we were too noisy. We came ashore and dinner was not ready. We were very hungry. We went out again and when we came back dinner was ready. My brothers made a table and then a seat for us to sit on. We were hungry and the chowder smelled good when we all sat down for a good din- dinner when the seat broke and we all fell to the ground. We were so hun- gry that we sat on the ground to eat. To our surprise when we turned around we saw our pet cows eating my sisters little hat. We packed up our utensils and went home.

 "Yes, several said Mrs. Roberts smiling. 'Bnt I was most delighted to run across that Mrs Jones we used to know i'm the apartment building on T don't remember that you were particularly fond of her in those days"

 His mother talked lot about him fin a way that mothers often do. not | realizing the child had ears. She said I he was such dear child and so bright and she did wish she only had time to tell me the nice things the teacher said about him the other day.
 His father stood by and smiled proudly and the boy became more and more silly. I don't suppose I helped much by gazing at the youngster, so ought not to have been surprised when he became annoying"
 Poor kidi" said Roberts, sympa- theticaily, T bet he wasn't having the time of his life judging by samples I have seen when passing through the stores. Most mothers are no sports They drag a fellow around all day

A Trip to Portland. Me.

One day when I went to the post office as usual I found a letter there addressed to me.
 When got home I found on opening it that it was an invitation from my aunt, who asked me to visit her in Maine. The next day I packed my trunk. Going down to the depot I purchased my ticket and took the train for Boston. When, got there I took the boat for Portland
 Arriving there in good time I was met by my aunt and uncle. We got into a sleigh, for it was winter, and rode to their house, where we ate a fine supper and went to bed early.
 In the morning, when I had eaten my breakfast, my uncle brought me to the lumber camp. A man came up and offered to show me around. He showed me men felling trees which were being piled upon great sleds drawn by horses.
 They were brought to the river near by and left on the banks until spring when they were brought down the river.
 I received permission from my par ents to stay till then. When spring came my uncle brought me down to the river, which was full of floating logs. A man was hopping from one to the other to keep them in order
 These logs were brought to the mill where they were made into pulp. and then into paper, which we now use.

The Maqie Word.

Ben was cross. In the first place, it rained when he wanted the sun to shine. Then he had cut his finger, and now he was hungry and Jane wouldn't give him anything to eat.
 You've got to give me some bread and butter" he said.
 You go long and stop your noise, |" replied Jane.
 So Ben wandered out on the- porch and found Ernmet playing with his ball. You've had it all the morning"
 Don't bother me- replied Emmet. 'Tm not through with it.''
 Ben turned away, half crying.
 Annie was sweeping the parlor.
 '1 want you to put some salve on my q am too busy now"
 The tears on Ben's eyes got bigger, and soon began to fall fast. He laid down on the sitting room couch and sobbed, and there mamma found him a little later.
 "why! Whats the matter, Bennie boy ?" She asked.
 Anyone won't do a thing for me- he cried They just sent me off in stead of doing what I asked them to''
 Perhaps you haven't used the magic word"
 Ben brushed away the tears nd look ed up Magic word ?' he said.
 Why, yes. Didn't you know there was a magic word that would make people do just what you wanted |"
 What is it. Mamma cried Ben
 Mamma whispered in his ear.
 Ben wiped his eyes grinned. and then jumped down and ran to the kitchen. "Oh, Jane, he cried, smiling, Please give me some bread and but ter"
 Sure, honey" said Jane, and she put Jam on it, too.
 Ben sat on the doorstep to eat it, while he watched the clouds break away and let the sunlight through. Then he went out to the porch. Please. Emmet, may I have the ball, now?" he asked. smiling.
 Catch It." said Emmet tossing 1t to him. I'd have let you have it long ago, if you hadn't been cross.'
 Ben started to play with it, but re- membering his sore finger, ran where Annie was finishing her work.
 Please, Annie, tie up my finger. now" he said. "so can go and play" ''To be sure I will, little brother" said Annie.
 When he had grown tired of playing, Ben went and stood beside his mother where she sat sewing.
 Well. Bennie boy, how does the magic word work ?" she asked. but be- fore he could answer. little sister came in with a frown on her face.
 You promised you'd make me a dol lie. and you didn't do it." she com plained.
 Ben laughed. q guess I'd better teach little sister the magic word. too," he said to mamma.

A Tropical ieiand.

It is a long, narrow tropical island, spotted with beautiful lakes in which erocodiies and such animals live, and sun themselves on its shores Beauti- ful pond lilies grow in these lakes and tall, slender trees, with long, dropping branches, bend over the lakes as though adnirtng themselves in natures mirror.
 Nearly the whole island is a mass of beautiful foliage. There are tall trees on whose limbs monkeys sit and chat ter and skip from limb to limb; young trees, and long. rambling vines which have grown up the sides of the trees, helping to make the island more beauL tiful. Birds of the most beautiful plu- mage build their nests in these trees, small humming birds and uightfngales from whose tiny threats comes sweet or nouFnful songs, and large parrots with gorgeous plumage who try to mock the monkeys and other birds.
 The ground is covered with long, creeping vines and flowers whose sweet fragrance fills the air. The isl- and is surrounded by the deep blue sea whose waves gently beat upon the shores and carry away tiny flowers and sticks.
 This island is not inhabited and re- minds me of Fairyland or portion of the Garden of Eden.

NeIson,a Old ships.

Of the ships which played their part in the great years Of Nelson's life one perished before the Battle of Trafal- gar, and the others, with the excep- tion of the Victory and the Foudroy- ant, outlived Nelson by a very few years. The Minerva was wrecked near Cherbourg in 1903 while chasing a French frigate. It was in her that Nelson fought his brilliant singie-ship action with a Spanish frigate in 1796, and 1t was in her that he cemented his friendship with Hardy by refusing though in danger of capture, to leave the spot where Hardy had sprung overheard to save a seaman
 NelSo2 had two fiagships in the Bal tic-the St. George and the Elephant The former went ashore off Jutland in fearful gale on Christmas eve, ISL only 12 hands being saved The latter was broken up in 1877, together with the Vanguard, Nelson's flagship at the Nile The Agamemnon foundered iu Maldonado Bay in 1909. Four years later, the Captain, in which Nelson fought at St. Vincent, was destroyed by fire when moored at Davenport. The last to go was Nelson's flagship in the Mediterranean, the Foudroyant which went down near Blackpool in 1S97-101 years after her baptism of Ifire.-Manchester Guardian.

These goats get their living from the sur rounding hot. dry territory, deficient in grass and only moderately COW cred with sage brush and cactus. 4 COW would starve to death, but the goats, though fed neither hay nor grain, give on an average about a quart each.

The Ray FamiIy's Thanksaivinu.

It was the night before Thanksgiv- ing. Everyone in the village was busy stirring the pudding, preparing the tur- key and getting everything ready for the Thanksgiving dinner.
 But at the Rays there were no such preparations. They had no turkey to prepare, no pudding to stir. They sat at the window watching with tears in their eyes the people go to and fro carrying bundles for Thanksgiving It really did seem like the day before Thanksgiving, but to the Rays it did not.
 Great was their surprise the next morning when they heard someone knock at the door. Who could it be? They had not heard a knock at the door since MT. Ray died
 Q Fastening to the door, Mrs. Ray opened 1t to admit her brother, whom she had not seen for many years. He was kind looking gentleman of about Az years. He came in loaded with bundles. In one there was a large fat turkey, just what the children had wished for; in another were pies, nuts, candies. fruits, and other goodies A few hours later a grocer brought up a bushel of the best apples and many other things needed for Thanksgiving. They had not seen so many good things for a long while.
 About 1 o'clock dinner was ready, The children all danced for joy. When all had seated themselves at the table, Mrs. Ray brought in the roasted tur- Key, the vegetables, the pies, nuts and apples which Uncle Jack had Drought for them. After. everyone had eaten his fill, their uncle told stories and jokes.
 As soon as they could tear them selves away Henry and George went out to string the barrels. They did not have many, but what they had would burn about two hours. Henry handed the barrels up to George and George put them on the pole. After stringing the barrels the boys went into the house. They were jus, ] in time for supper.
 After supper the children led Uncle Jack and Mrs. Ray out to see how wei

How to Tell a True Princess.

There was once upon a time a prince who wanted to marry a princess, but travelled through the whole world to find one, but there was always some thing against each. There were plen- ty of princesses, but he could not find out if they were true princesses. In every case there was some little defect, not yet found. So he came home again in very low spirits, for he had wanted very much to have a true princess.
 One night there was a dreadful storm; 1t thundered and frightened and the rain streamed down in torrents. It was fearful! There was a knocking heard at the palace gate, and the king went to open it.
 There stood a princess outside the gate; but oh, in what sad plight she was from the rain and storm! The water was running down from her hair and her dress into the points of her shoes and out at the heels again. And yet she said she was a true princess!
 Well, we shall soon find outi" thought the old queen, but she said nothing and went into the sleeping room, took off all the bed clothes and Then she put twenty mattresses on top of the pea and twenty eiderdown quilts on the top of the mattresses and this was the bed in which the princess was to sleep.
 The next morning she was asked how she had slept.
 "Oh, very badly!" said the princess. 'I scarcely closed my eyes all nighti I am sure I don't know what was in the bed. lay on something so hard that my whole body is black and blue. It is dreadful!"
 Now they perceived that she was a true princess, because she had felt the pea through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eiderdown quilts. No one but a true princess could be so sensitive. So the prince mar ried her, for now he knew that at last he had got hold of a true princess, and the pea was put into the Royal Mu- scum, where it is still to be seen, ii no one has stolen 1t. This is a true story.
