Faith in Santa Claus.

Alice was a little girl of eight. Her mother had died q year ago and so she lived with her father in the mines of Colorado.
 As there was d great deal of snow on the ground there was no getting any distance from the camp except OF snow shoes
 Christmas eve came, and with her heart all in a flutter. Alice went to bed wandering what Santa. would put into her stocking.
 "He will surely come, won't he, father, ?' she asked
 "Oh, yes, he will come. but doubt if he can carry much, We can't set out, but I think his reindeer will manage to set in
 But how can he get the doll down the chimney if the fire is going
 She had been longing for a doll with eyes and a noSe-nOt a wooden doll cut out of a pine stick like the only one she possessed.
 She grew so distressed over the fire her father agreed to take out a win- dow pane, assuring her that Santa Claus could get through very small places. She could not so to sleep for fear he would try the chimney and not knowing about the window would get discouraged and go away
 So one of the miners got plank and wrote on it in charcoal letters, E'Go through the window and put it on top of the shanty.
 Then she went to sleep satisfied Santa Claus would read it, and do as it says,
 Early next morning Alice jumped out of bed and ran to her stocking to See if there was anything in it.
 Yes. there was the doll, and such a beauty It was made entirely out of white potatoes. One of the miners, who could carve planned it, and with the necessary things, such as wire, sticks, ink and paint. and with the help of those who could sew and make clothes out of flour sacks and salt bags, his Christmas dolly grew into q great beauty which became the desired possession of little Alice.

A Word Test Story.

Dear Uncle Jed: Our teacher, Mrs Avery, gave us these words to write story: Ford, realize, pass, trail, sug- &est, return, remove, ridge, dazzled, cliffs, camp, delicious and coffee.
 This Is the story written. ny me:
 As we were going over the moun- tain pass we could see a ford at the foot of tte mountain. I suggested that we should follow O. trail which went down the mountain to cross the ford.
 Going up the rough trail again it was very hot and we had to remove some of our thick wraps. I did not realize it was so had until we re- turned.
 We were going home when we came to Q. ridge, there the sun shown so bright our eyes became daZZled. We had to go over many cliffs before we reached home.
 We did not camp any where while we were gone. When my friend and I reached home there was nice warm ire, and after VIC warmed ourselves there was some delicious coffee wait ing for us.

Winifreda, Pet kitten.
Colchester

Dear Uncle Jed: thought I would write and tell you and the Wide Awakes about my pet kitten.
 My papa went down to my grandma's $ barn and found this little kitten asleep in the hay, We didn't know where he came from, unless someone dropped him there.
 Grandma didn't want him, so papa brought him home to me.
 He was so fat and cunning we named him Chubby. He never has seemed to be homesick. He likes to play with my Teddy bear. He plays with 1t just as if it was another kitten. He will bite and kick it. then roll over with it.
 He has played with it so much that yesterday the head came off. You ought to have seen how surprised he looked. He looked at the head and then at the body and then walked off and laid down.
 Chubby likes to drink milk out of my dolls nursing bottle. I fill the bottle with milk and hold it up where ile can see it and he will jump up into my lap and lay down. I hold the bottle so he can drink and he puts a paw on each side of the bottle and it looks just so he Is hold ing it himself.
 Sometimes I dress him up in my dolls clothes. but he don't like to be dressed up very well, so I don't do it very often

THE POOL

Uncle Jed: Grandfather Lowater has been very sick Today he is sitting up in a large revolving office chair near q large front window that looks out upon or into small grove of hardwood and evergreen trees. In this SroVe there are pine, cedars, blue spruce, hernIock, hard and soft maple, oak, mulberry. plum, silver-leaf maple. mountain ash, butternut, cottonwood, Carolina poplar, basswood and differ ent varieties of evergreen and willow.
 Near by is the playground of the consolidated school which can be seen in part through an opening in the grove. As am writing several of the pupils arc climbing into q conveyance to be carried to their homes.
 Now why should I spoil good paper to tell you this about the grove? Be- cause dt is a sort of committee room for visitors and delegates from The Pccl-nesrly three-fourths of mile away. From early morn until after school is out, the grove is crowded with citizens trem The Pool who wish fo gay their respects to my family and draw their share of the rations.

Christmas Trees.

Dear Uncle Jed: I will tell you a little about my Christmas. About a. week before Christmas my father and I went into the woods and got two Christmas trees, one for the school and one for ourselves.
 Two days before Christmas some of the scholars came over and got the tree. That night we trimmed it.
 The next day we had some recita- tions and a dialogue: "A Christmas Conspiracy In it the Mother Goose Children plan to hold up Santa Claus on Christmas eve, and to make him give them each a, present. Miss Muffet wants a new taffet and a. now spider; Jack and Jill g new pail; Boy Blue new horn, etc.
 Last of all the presents were given out.
 When I got home I put our tree in the house and trimmed it. Christmas eve I hung up my stocking, put my presents on the tree and went to bed early As soon as l woke up in the morning, [ went and got my stocking. In it were a knife, some sheet music, a box of crayons and an orange. On the tree were Q lot of nice pres entS for each Some of the things were 9 box of writing paper, some books and a good many other presents for me, The rest of the family also re- CeiVed nice presents.

Buff.

l suppose you arc all wondering who Buff is. Well, Buff is d large, yellow and white cat. He is a very cute cat and is not one that likes to get into mischief,
 He is much different than any other cat, I ever saw. When he was a lit tie kitten, and my father came from the barn with the milk, he would al- ways come with him, running along by his feet, so my father taught aim this little trick.
 At first he would not do what faith CT told him, but father kept saying, Roll over" until Buff understood what he meant Now when you speak to Buff just say, Roll over, Buff" and he will do it.
 Father says, "Now, when he goes to the barn, Buff will run around his fact and begin to roll" which makes father afrajud he will step on him.
 We have three other cats beside Buff; but I think the most of Buff because he is my cat.
 Whenever Buff sees me coming he will begin to roll and will run around my feet, until I pat him. He does not like strangers and will run away, when he sees or hears them coming.

My Trfn +o MnnsraaI.

Last summer I went to Montreal with my mother and my two brothers. We arrived in the second week of Au gust. Montreal is the largest city of Canada and is situated on the St Law renee river It's harbor is favorablze and can accommodate ocean steam ships. The population is 467. .000 souls.
 We crossed the great Victoria. bridge which is two miles and a quar- ter long We also went up on Mt. Royal which is ascended by an inclined railway 4 magnificent view of the city can be had from this spot
 There arc several market places in the city, but the Bouseeours market is the largest of all.
 The market is held every Friday and there are often ten thousand people in the crowd. There is q building with places for thle farmers to bring their produce to the market. Such places are rented for twenty-five cents.
 As the war was going on at the time we saw soldiers departing for the front.
 We left Montreal the third week of August and after five weeks in the Dominion were glad to get home again.

STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE
 AWAKES,
Caught in Their Own Trap,

Caught in Their Own Trap,
 It was very hot day, and rainy, too.
 Regular dog day weather" said old MT. Spriggins.
 It was too rainy for the boys to play outdoors at noontime.
 The smaller children played Tea kettles s boiling oVer," in the entry; but that was too small d game for our three rogueS.
 How hot it isl" said Tommy, mop ping up his face with a very dirty handkerchief
 Have to make a. fire to cool off, sad Titus who was always saving queer things.
 Let's do it. cried Billy. Let's make noon."
 So the three boys went to get wood and kindHngs and made a fixa in the big rusty stove. By the time o'clock came Miss True went into the schoolroom and 1t was just as hot as q pepper pot.
 The scholars as they came in one after another looked disgusted, and ftnned themselves with books.
 Miss True shut up the steve and opened all the windows and the door. Then by asking a few questions, she found out who made the fire.
 Moving up three chairs by the stove she called the three boys and told them to occupy the three chairs, and she gave all the others seats near the win dows and started to hear lessons How these boys did sweat. Please, Miss True, may go to my seat?" asked Tommy, after awhile 'No,' said Miss True. How they did long for recess time. that they might go out and cool of in the rain! But when recess came they were kept in instead, and very l much ashamed they looked. If you are sure you are warm l enough now boys,' said Miss True, 1 when recess was over. you may take your seats for the rest of the day. | And very glad they were to do so l T tell you" said Billy, on the way 1 home fronlssehool, you won't catch me making up d fire on a hot day like 1 this,''
 'Nor me-" said Tom. T liked to 1 have roasted to death. 1 Yes, twas awful!' sighed Billy, 1 ''but couldn't help thinking she served 1 us just right-s' l And nobody denied it. LORETTA RICHIE Age Il. Norwich.

 Most of the delegates come by aero plane, a few by walkomooile and others by beard or rail The great trees in the grove cannot be lonely, as during business hours there is constant movement of the guests. either exam ming the various ornaments of this re- ception and dining room or going through the usual bustle and look-at t. me actions even humans perform whenever they can afford to dine at a fashionable hotel
 Entering the grove and going d. rectly 10 one of the dining tables is in- possible. Even the English sparrows cannot do that, let alone the nut matches, Woodpeckers, snowbtrdE, blue. jays or rabbits.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
An African Camel.

Dear Uncle Jed: While visiting in New York city one day last week, saw a. camel 4 man was leading it along Sixth avenue. He took it to the Hippodrome, so I suppose it belongs there. This camel has 9 double hump and is a native of Africa. There is a wide sole under the toes of each foot, to prevent it from sinking into the sand. Before the animal starts on a long journey it's master sees that the humps are very large. These odd swellings are masses of fat When the animal has gone for a long time with out food this fat nourishes the body
 The camel can go without water for three or four days while bearing d heavy load across the heated desert The body is supplied with water from pouches, on the walls of the first stomach.
 The nostrils can be closed at will and 9 veil of hair hangs over the eyes to keep out the hot. stlnging sand that often blows over the desert.

His Visit to EnaIsnd.

Mamma and left New York by the steamer LUsttania. on June g, 1914, and soon after starting we were held up for IS hours by d heavy fog. It was pretty foggy all the way across the Atlantic ocean.
 We got to Liverpool on the 29th of June and my uncle and aunt were there to meet us. After having our baggage examined, We went on the train to Manchester The English trains are different from ours. The doors are on the side instead of the end. We stayed there two months and went to Birmingham. Biackpool and lots of other places. We had good time, only for the war breaking out while we were there.
 I saw lots Of soldiers and territorials and on our way back we saw war ship nearly every day.
 We came back on the steamer Cedric and got to New York on Sept. 4th, and while we had 8 good time away, everybody was glad when we saw the Statue of Liberty, The Stars and Stripes are best.
 While in New York we went to Coney Island and Paterson, \. J.
 We did not get back to Norwich un- til Sept. 10th, when I had to start right in at school.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAkES.

Do you know it is pretty good plan to say to yourself in the morn ing. T am going to have no trouble today!"
 Now nineteen in twenty of old folks will be likely to tell you this is all nonsense. trouble comes and you can't stop 1t!
 This is true of a few kinds of trou- b1e which grow out of our relations to others; and these very troubles are heavy or light according to the recep- tion they get in our minds.
 No one ever got good control of their mind by resolving once year or once a, month to do so, and some fail who affirm their intention not to once a day It is persistent work that wins, and persistent thought for good is the one sure way <of becoming the pro- ducer of good work.
 Preparing for the days events by saying a few words to yourself about your own conduct is wise-it is one way of working out a. well-ordered life and it is the only way to mastery of the mind.
 The man who wrote T am master of my soul and captain of my fateH would never have penned that line had he not through an understanding with himself come into a realization of pow CT which is to be had in no other way.
 Everybody has to pay the price of carelessness or negligence and it comes lligh-in sco1dings or w11ippings to children and in hard luck and failure to grown-up people.
 It is pleasanter to tell yourself what you will not do, than to tell someone else; and if you refuse to attract trouble. trouble is not half so likely to make the day disagreeable for you.

Made One of the Family.

Dear Uncle Jed: It was cold night in winter. The farmers children were sitting around a cheerful fire. They were laughing and chatting when d tapping was heard outside. Opening the door, the farmer saw an aged man clothed in rags who begged to be ad- mitted.
 The farmer consented and soon the man found himself sitting down to a hearty supper. After supper the man sat down by the fire and told the farm CT he had looked for work most every where, but no one seemed to have any need of him.
 The farmer said he needed a man to help him on the farm, so he stayed with the farmer, and soon the farmer and his children liked him so they soon made him one of the family. DOROTHEA c. GARDNER, Age 13.

How We Saved a Cow.

Dear Uncle Jed: One night we went to get the COWS and one was missing. We did not know where she was. It was three days before We heard or saw anything of her.
 One day as my sister and brother were huckleberFying they heard a COW lowing. They came home and told my father about it.
 Father went looking for her and found the cow in the mire up to her back. My father sent my brother home for the hired man. and he brought tackles and ropes.
 It took six people to pull her out. She was hard to lead before, and now she is as gentle as can be and will lead good
