LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
West Willing
A Disobedient Son.

Dear Uncle Jed:-Once there was a
boy who was very thoughtless. He
was always playing and when he was
asked to do something for somebody
he would get cross and hateful. One
night at supper, his mother asked him
to take some wood and a basket of
food to a poor woman about a mile
away.
1t was in the winter and the ice
was fine for skating. On his way he
met some of his comrades with their
skates on their arms and they asked
him to join them. He said he couldn't
because he must go to Mrs. Whites
for his mother, but they persuaded
him to go.
He hid the basket and wood and
went to the pond with the boys. At
first he was not happy, but soon he
forgot all about it till he heard the
town clock strike ten. 1t was too late
to go to Mrs. Whites then, so he ran
home and went to bed without seeing
his mother
The next morning she asked him
how Mrs. White was. He hung his
head and told her about it. She sent
him again on his journey and when he
got there he knocked at the door. He
got no answer SO he opened the door
and went in.
Mrs. White was very thankful for
the food, and when the boy saw how
the snow had drifted in he felt sorry
for her He told the boys about her
and they brought more wood and piled
it in front of her door for her.

near a tall tree and he put the hunt
err down. Then a large herd Of ele-'
plants came towards the spot where
he was lying.
The elephant that brought him look
ed up at the tree and then ait the
hunter.
He noticed that the elephant wished
him to climb UP the tree. So he
climbed UP the tree and sat there for
quite long time. The herd of ele-
plants were still under the tree.
AS he was looking about him he
saw lion coming towards the herd
and was soon upon a fat elephant.
Before the lion could do any harm
the hunter drew an arrow and shot
the lion dead.
Then he came down from the tree.
The elephants gathered around him
and bowed low before him as if to
thank him for what he had done.
They showed him a place where
many tusks were buried in the ground.
The man took the tusks and went back
TO his home. This was one of the
happiest days of his life.

I will send in a way to make cream

hope some of the Wide-Awakes will
try them as they are easy to make.
Cream Puffs: Boil together one cup
of water and one half cup of butter.
While boiling, stir in one cup of flour,
stir until smooth, then let get cold,
then add three eggs not beaten. Stir
until they become smooth again, then
drop in creased pans a small spoon
full in a place, and then bake twenty
five minutes. For the cream filling,
one cup of sugar. one egg. four tea
spoons Of flour, beat together, then
pour into one cup of boiling milk.
Flavor with vanilla When cold cut
a hole in the puff and fill with the

AWAkES.

There vas never a time when boys
and girls thought more Of books than
they do in this age, and yet, they
do not prize them as they should
There was q time when the world
was wholly without books and we can
not imagine how the world got along
without them.
There was time when the import
ant books could be counted, but we
are living in an age of countless VOL
umes and OF more general knowledge
than ever before.
When there were no books the world
was in mental darkness. and now
books are called the lighthouses on the
sea of time.
Books are the gift of the students
of the past to the searchers of lznow1-
edge in the present.
And in eli the multitude Of books
only those who come from the heart
Of some true writer go direct to the
heart OF some searcher after truth

From Riddeford to Canada.

At Biddeford we took a train for
Portland. Between Portland and Bid
deford we passed through Saco, which
is separated from the larger city by
the Saco river. AS we leave the sta
ton of Saco going east we see bluff,
and at the foot Of it may be seen
the house Of Colonel Peperel1, famous
in the capture of Louisburg.
At Portland we arrived to the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad station, and
take the trolley to the Grand Trunk
depot where we were to take the ex-
cursion train.
Portland is the largest city of Maine,
and has one Of the best harbors of the
Atlantic coast
At seven o'clock we took a train for
Canada and started on our way. We
passed through Berlin. N. H, at mid
night. At Berlin Falls which is a
few miles away, the Androscoggin
river leaps the falls Of that name.
At Island Pond, Vermont, which is
near the boundary line the train stops
and a custom officer comes aboard

A Flag of Distress,

Three children. Joe, Frank and FL
sic, were out fishing about mile from
shore and they lost one oar. The other
oar was quite useless.
Joe sat UP and watched the oar that
was in the water. He could not get
it Hours passed by and still the chill
dren drifted along. They drifted all
night. In the morning they saw the
brown sails of aSfishing boat.
Elsie waved her handkerchief, but
the little signal did not appear to be
seen for the fishing boat came no
nearer. So Elsie took off her apron
and tied it to the end of the oar. She
held the pole with the apron in the
air. In a little while the fishing boat
seemed to grow bigger and the boat
changed her course. She was coming
straight for the rowboat. When the
boat came alongside they saw it was
a friend from their village.
The old fisherman had been out all
night looking for them. In an hour
they were safely on shore.

La GuiIIotine.

One Of the crue1est weapons used
in the French Revolution was the gull
Iotine. 1t was named after the man
who invented it, called Guillotine
The poorer people in France who
had revolted under the harsh rule OF
the past kings and MOBILES. used this
machine to get revenge for all their
wrongs. Anyone who was on the king
side, and also many who were inno-
cent, were killed
The guillotine did not make the poor
people suffer long and caused little
pain, because 1t cut off their heads
with one stroke of the blade. In %
minutes % heads were cut off, as
Dickens tells in the Tale Of the Two
Cities.
Even that wasn't enough for the
mob. They wanted at least six score
a day.
One of the people who was killed
this way was the king, Louis XVI.
He was taken to the guillotine and be-
headed by the angry mob. His wife
died six months later. After the poor
people got the rights for which they
fought, the- stopped using the gull
lotine. They had no more kings. Ma
po1eon became their ruler, but instead
of a king he was called an emperor.

A DAVIS Experi.nee IN New York

My family lived in New York city
for about five years before we moved
to Connecticut. Almost every Sun
day my father would take us out
somewhere. One warm, pleasant Sun
day my father surprised us by telling
us to get ready for a picnic he had
planned. My mother did not go, but
my brother, sister and I went. I was
six years old then.
We had a pleasant ride on the
trolley to Liberty Park the chosen
place for the picnic. There we ran
around breathing the somewhat fresh
er air than the sitting, heated streets
could afford, until papa called us to
partake of the lunch which we had
taken with US from home. We all did
justice to the lunch. for we were
tired from the ride on the trolley.
Z After we all finished our lunch, my
brother and sister went rowing on the
lake while my father was talking with
some Of his friends whom he had met
at the park.
When 1 saw my brother and sister
rowing slipped away from my father
and ran to the lake. I called to my
brother and sister, to come and take
me. They fearing I would fall in the
it was too late. Before they reached
shore 7 lost my balance trying to
paddle with the water and fell in.
The water being quite deep 1 might
have been drowned if it was not for
my good luck, a man, who had been
the first to spy me, jumped in after
me. I was taken out Of the water
unconscious from fright.
By this time my father, brother and
sister came over. My father wrapped
my coat around me and then we all
went home.
My mother was very worried about
