THE WIDE AWAKE CIRCLE
BOYS ARD GIRLS DEpARTMEkr

All the pictures received but one have been drawn upon ruled paper and most Of theiu with lead pencil This, because in the first contest Un- cle Jed did not himself make the con ditions, but the next time the reqaire- ments will be plainly stated and the age of the contestants be advenced.
 This month Uncle Jed meant to have the winning pictures .nade in zinc and printed with the names of the four book winners. which could have been done had not the paper been ruled.
 Several did not comply with the rules in this contest, by putting their address upon the back Of the picture, etc. Violation ofsdireetions in fa- ture will debar theanegligent from the contest.
 Nearly half of the pfetdres in aand show haste instead of painstaEine work-they should have averaged much better; and would, had the con- testants realized that good careful work Is always necessary in any prize winning ssntsst s.s,s a si:! F!

HOW A LITTLE BOY TOO POOR TO ENJOY HoLI.
 DAYS GOT THANKSGIVING DINNER

ls For more than a week little sad faced boy of 5 years, a sturdy chap, with 8 sweet and intelligent face, wan dered alone in the afternoon. looking In shop windows. He had been mo- and Pete. the delivery boy, who thought he knew every child in the nearby streets. where for four years he had been taking packages. The sad-faced boy. as they soon learned dows but those of the marketman and the grocer. and when he saw them looking at him he always moved on.
 t Pete's curiosity at last found ex- pression, and, coming on behind the child with his empty basket, he pur- posely touched him. gently with it. and at his startled look, said:
 E Hurry home. Sonny; it's too late for you to be on the streets. and some one will be looking for you, or. ifsyou like. wait a bit and I'll walk along with you. if you live near. Just one for the day"
 An odd puckering smile lit up the little face, and he followed Pete into the store, seeming to note every fruit and vegetable. Behind the counter the marketman and grocer quietly, in low tones, commented: If 1t was not for his dress and his bonny face" the for rner said, T should think he was watching for a chance to take some nuts or a fruit: but, then. he stares at the turkeys especially. as if he had never seen one before. He doesn't be- long to poor people, either. He seems a. neglected child"
 Then Pete. with his basket ready, called, Come on, Sonny" and the two. were soon out of sight. When Pete returned he reported: Funny, isn't 1t? Two years ago remember leaving a big Thanksgiving basket with a ten-pound turkey and all the fixing, and the same Scotch girl open ed the door for me that let in the lit- tie chap tonight.

Ih. Shoemaker. rhank.aivins.

There was a poor shoemaker, who had recently moved into the neighbor-
 hood He was telling one Of his GUS toners that he did not think he cot q afford to buy turkey for his Thanks
 givf.g dinner.
 She said, "Oh! you don't knowi Somebody may give you one for 8
 presenti' Her words came true.
 !. There happened to live close by him d newly welded couple. and as the man was going to work. he noticed
 the nice turkeys in the market win don and said .e-I will buy one and bring it home to Mary for our Thanks
 giving dinner"
 5 His wife. Mnry. was just reading of ? the big sale the Boston Market was bought one. saying. T will show it to
 John. he will be gladi"
 Night came and John brought home
 the turkey and showed it to Mary;
 then Mary said: "Oh. dear!" I have
 bought one. too.a and John laughed.
 So they both put the turkIvs a3ay. s vIn 4the Snrnrnjng when John started
 for his woEis. he thought of the poor shoemaker, so he brought him his tur- key for present.
 Tn the afternoon Mary thought o1 the sshoemaker. too, and said, "I am going to gfpsEthe poor shoemaker my turkey, as we do not need two" When she gave it to the shoemaker he was so glad that he laughed and cried with jeg.a
 Night came and John told Mary what he did with his turkey; and Mary told him her story. also. John neafiy fainted; and Mary cried because ofths cost and the loss of ths turkeys. John said this is what comes of both having a pocket book and each could not blame the other, fol shey both had done the same. and the shoemaker never forgot the two tur- keys that were Eipen him for his Thanksgiving dinner.

The Horse Show.

Dear Uncle Jed: The hoTses show was held in the Coliseum. 5M
 First came the dog carts. There was a lady and six men driving. They were all pretty horses and looked so smart. Next came the taHdens, that is, two horses, one behind the other. Those horses were also pretty. K The saddle horses were the most in- teresting. all ladies and one girl who looked about 12 years old. She had a good horse and could ride well. s The judge could not quite make up his mind between two oe them. Finally he gave the blue ribbon to the lady and the red to the little girl. They all had numbers on their backs so that the people might know them. When the judge wanted to sec the girls number he had to lift up her hair. It was braided and tied with a ribbon. That rf1ads the people cheer. Fl was glad the girls horse got a rib- bon.
 The hurdle jumping, followed. A horse went ever two hurdles, one on each side of the arena. He went over two so close together that he could only get one stride in between. A lady went over side-saddle several time. @
 One lady riding astride also jumped the hurdles. I liked that part very much. !
 There were number of auto trucks advertised by driving them around the arena. s
 After these came the four-lii-hand coaches. One of them had two foot mon, one of whom blew a silver horn. They all looked very fine. The other had jus. a driver. The horses and coaches belonged to noted people of America.
 The Hanley's ale team was there with the big, beautiful horses. so strong and clever. They were SO good and obedient to every touch of the rein. The driver gave an exhibition of driving. Ile could turn the horses and wagon around in a very small place.
 There was little fire dog that ran between the front wheels and watched to see which way the horses feet turned to see which way to g.a
 1t was aii so nice and each entry was go interesting I do not know whief, I liked the most. I hope they have another horse khow soen. .. IVY FISK, Age II.
