HENRY L. CAPELL.

Editor FL Paso Herald
II was with deep emotion that 7 read
your beautiful tribute to the life OF the
late Henry l. Capen, better known
among us as Cap" Cap" was a man
among men The good Samaritan that
he was: adverse TO criticism 70 asso-
ciates who might complain about mis-
fortune of life. His greatest pleasure
was teaching boys higher ideals Of life;
whether street urchins or college chaps
who knew him. cap" took them all
under his fatherly wing. teaching them
the value Of clean living. to be
honest and honorable. to make better
men.
Many of Caps" boys, now grown up
and successful business men, attribute
their success and education TO the
schooling OF this grand old man. Those
who understood Cap" best feel deeply
affected by the loss OF a man who stood
as an example for truthfulness, hon
esty. and honorableness.
We can but bow our heads in respect
upon the departure Of such n noble man.
Engraved to his memory should be the
words OF Fitz Greene Halleck-
When hearts whose truth has proven
Like thine. are laid in earth.
There should a wreath be woven
To tell the world their worth

What Happened to eIunder.

Dear Uncle Jed: I like the prize book you sent to me and thank you very much.
 I have been reading about a boy who was named Biunder because he had not learned to use his eyes.
 His godmother sent him to find the Wishing Gate, and this is how he blundered:
 His godmother told him to wake the first owl he came to. He was almost afraid to, but he finally did ask the owl how to find the way to the Wish ing Gate.
 The owl told him to follow his nose Just then a chipmunk came along Blunder asked him the way to the Wishing Gate.
 The chipmunk, who was busy get ting ready for winter, told him the water fairy would tell him.
 He had never ieaTned to use his eyes at home and that is why he couldn't use them now.
 The story is too long to tell it all The last thing he met was the South Wind with his pockets full of showers The South Wind picked up Blundel and carried him home after he had been sitting on the Wishing Gate; bu he didn't know IL.
 His godmother was so angry she flew up the chimney.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

Uncle Jed has hinted pretty broad ly to the Wide-Awakes how to win books. and he knows some of them have profited by it. Perhaps you would thank him if he woula tell you how you may be sure of never winning a book.
 He has had more than a hundred letters about Washington and Lincoln; and many about all the distinguished men of America He has had stories come to him several times from two writers copied from the same paper or book, and alike word for word. He has received many stories written to him which were muddle to him, be- cause the instructions were not ob . served, and for these reasons he is throwing more and more letters into the waste basket all of the time. Keep ing these things up is the way never to win a book.
 Quite few of our wide-Awakes notice that stories of something they have had Knowledge of or had a hand in have won books and they sit down and write about the same events just as if a subject could never become threadbare, and this looks to Uncle Jed like stupidity.
 Uncle Jed is aware that he has awarded many books for stories that have been copied; but the books were not given for the story, but for the excellence of the writing and the cor rectness of the work.
 In awarding books any old thing doesn't go, and only careful and pa tient work is likely to win.
 Uncle Jed becomes rather fond of some of his industrious Wide-Awakes who never tire of trying to win and he has in mind many of them. Some of these have won a whole library and few have graduated.
 Our Wide-Awakes do not like to bid farewell to the Circle and we always regret their departure.

Trip to New London.

My uncle invited us to visit the city. We were all delighted very much. The next morning I went down street and purchased a few toys for our cousins.
 Father and I went down to the garage to see if he could hire an au- tomobile to take us down there.
 We all went to bed early that night talking about the lovely trip we were going to have.
 Early the next morning my father called us all up and our dear mother had a lovely breakfast waiting for us. When breakfast was finished we all helped to do the work, to get the house in order.
 About half past eight to our sur prise the auto was waiting for us. Mother had all the dress suit cases packed and the chauffeur helped to pack them in the auto.
 We started as soon as possible and the country breeze was great.
 At ten o'clock we arrived in Willi- mantle and stopped at the restaurant and devoured the lunch.
 Once more we started and few times on the way we stopped at wells and drank cold water.
 About two o'clock we arrived in New London. We tok our scuitcases out and gave the presents to our cousins and they were all delighted with them.

How Tom Corrected a Bad Reputation

on the other side of the pond from the rest of the boys.
 There was a stretch of very thin ice off to the farthest end of the pond upon which none of the boys dared to venture.
 The crowd of fellows were playing tag and Jack Hopkins was 'It' He began to chase Bob Rawlins, who started off full speed toward the dan gerous end of the pond, never think ing of his danger, but only to get away from Jack
 Tom anticipated something was go- ing to happen, so he went off to one side of the pond to the woods and got a very long branch just as a shout of help went up from everybody on the pond.
 Bob Rawlins had gone through the ice and the water was over his head
 Tom here made up his mind to wipe out the title of coward from his name once and for all.
 He skated with his long pole right to the very end of the thick ice, as far as he dared, and even then the thick ice strained and heaved under his weight.
 He reached the pole to Bob Rawlins, who was about half frozen about this time. Bob caught hold of the pole the water. He was half out when the ice broke just where Tom had been standing half a minute be- fore. Tom had to renew his process and exertions, and at last Bob was free.
 Bob was overjoyed and full of praise for Toms courage. He gave three cheers for Pom and, of course, Bob's followers, and the latter were then all friends, and all joined alike in their play thereafter
 Tom was happier than all, for he wiped out forever the name of "cow- ard. d."-Frederick Wagner.

Tom Tom Corrected a Bad Reputation
 One could tell from a heeting glance that something very important was being discussed by the group of boys consisting of nearly the entire young male population of the very small Vil- lage of Lakewood.
 It was in the spring, and new fam fly had moved into the village, and in the family was boy. This boy, his personalitieA and the other things that discussion of this group.
 They were suddenly attracted by wild screams from the direction of the mill pond. The gathering put an end to their discussion for the time being and. all set off post haste for
 When they reached there they saw Bob Rawlin's (the leader of all the boys) young sister of six years old slowly going under for the second time. Right On the small jetty stood Tom Toward, the, new boy of the village, white with fear and terror, watching the girl drowning,
 It was only short time before the girl was rescued by the other brave lads and Tom Howard was branded a coward for his seemingly inhuman act by Bob Rawlins, and, of course, by the other boys.
 Tom had inherited ia natural fear of the water, and had therefore never learned how to swim, and this was the cause of, his cowardly act, about the only one in his life.
 This Incident happened in the spring and the seasons slowly rolled around to the winter. AT this time the boys of the village retained their coldness for Tom Howard the coward" as he was called. fs
 All the boys were skating about on the first ice of the winter, which was very thin in soARe places. Tom was ar, excellent skater. but always skated

Corn Day,

The people from England who came over here we call "Pilgrams." never knew what corn was, and were afraid to eat 1t.
 Then the Indians showed them how to plant and how to make it grow.
 Year after year corn was raised, and now it is the most widely grown plant in the United Stages.
 But still no one stops to think of all the work the corn does for us.
 Nearly three-fourths of the corn that is raised in the world is grown in the UniNed States.
 Each year after the corn crop is averaged it comes to about 2,500,000,- 900 bushels.
 The average acre yield in Connecti- cut is forty-eight bushels. !. For the Connecticut Corn-Club Boys the average is seventy five bushels and one boy who belongs to the Corn Club raised 115 bushels of corn to the acre.
 The most important states in the United States that raise corn, are the following:
 Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana and Ohio. These are called the cora belt states.
 The most important corn raised around here are, Rhode Island yellow. Rhode Island white cap, pop corn, In- dian Red Codn, square corn and green corn.

 The chicken said, We will go in the woods and hide until the day after Thanksgiving"
 But what will we do for food ?" said the turkey.
 There is sor.ae corn in the barn we can bring" said the hen.
 They all agreed to this, so Thanks giving morning they all set out for the woods.
 When MT. Brown came out to get them they were not there, so he had to go to MT. James and buy some.
 The morning after Thanksgiving when he came out he was very glad to find that they had come back.

The Birds Home.

Dear Uncle Jed: Each mother bird has her own way of making a nest, but there is one thing almost all of them try to do, and that Is to hide it.
 Squirrels and snakes. rats some big birds, and cats, and many others, like to eat eggs and young birds.
 Birds, first of all. try to find good hiding places.
 Some tiny warblers go to the tops of the tallest trees and hide the nest among the leaves.
 Orioles hang the swinging cradle at the end of a branch, where cats and snakes and boys cannot come.
 Song sparrows tuck the little home in a tuft of weeds on the ground, and the bobolinks hide it in the deep grass.
 In New York the iron pillars which support the elevated railroad have fish sparrow, and there amid the con stant chatter of the street noise thou sands of little birds are matched.
 In India there is a bird which builds its nest in a similar way. But as the forests are alive with monkeys, which plumber every nest in their reach, this wise little bird chooses for the site of its nest the end of a twig not only too slender to bear the weight of a mon- key, but which directly hangs over the water; and as a still further precau- ton makes the opening of the nest on the lower side.
 Some bird homes are only platforms, where it seems as if the eggs must roll of, and others are deep burrows or holes in the ground. where no one can get in.

 In a few minutes saw her go and get it, cast q guilty glance around her and toward the house. and commence to eat it. Was she surprised? l think she was.
 She stopped and looked at the egg and then tasted it again; then she drew back a little way and parked at it, as she always did when we gave her soup bone that was still warm By and by the pepper began to burn her throat badly. She rolled in the grass, with her paw in her mouth.

I had felt pretty sure that she would never again: trouble one by stealing the eggs. and while watch ing her was tying to devise some new punishment for 1t.
 She crawled in under the wood, got the egg and started towards the house with it in her mouth and it was not cracked.
 When she saw me she jumped up fol my approval, and capered about as ii she knew she deserved the highest praise You may rest assured that she received it.
 After this she often brought eggs tc the house, leavicg them either on the piazza or doorstep. but I never knew of her eating another egg.
