Carlos Companions.

Dear Uncle Jed:-Carlo is a big dog who lives on a farm. He is fond of all the animals, even the cats.
 He runs races with the horses and risks about with the calves and lambs The chickens climb over him.
 Out of all these animals Carlo likes the chickens the best. Especially three baby chicks who play with him.
 They come in the house on rainy days to play with Carlo. Each one tries to climb on his back when he lays down
 One will climb up his tail. Another will climb up one of his paws. The last might try to climb up his face.
 When they are up there, they puff out with pride as if to say, You can't do that" We agree with them as we without hurting him.

The Fall of Quebec,

Dear Uncle Jed: A terrible war broke out between the French and the English. The English fought to get the city of Quebec. The French fought to keep them out. Wolfe, the com mander, was shot through the breast. Montcalm, the French commander, al- so received a death wound.
 The Fall of Quebec ended the great war in America. Peace was made in 1763. France was forced to give up to the English all of Canada and the country west of the Alleghany noun tains as far as the Mississippi river.

The Eskinnos.

North of Canada are the Eskimos. They have summer and winter, but their summer is something like our winter. They have snow on the ground all the time and the ground is always frozen far below. The sea the top. When the Eskimos go sleigh riding. their sleds are pulled by dogs
 The Eslximos are very fond of wood which they can't get so often.
 The Eskimo children never see trees or flowers except. the poppy. There are mosses and low bushes, howev- CT. On the bushes grow berries, which is the fruit of the people.
 The Eskimos eat reindeer, fox, and Wolf meat. They do more fishing than anything else and also catch seals. The seals give them oil for heat and light when the dark winter comes.
 The Eskimos are very fond of raw meat and still more of frozen meat.
 The Eskimos try hard to get the wood which in summer comes floating down the sea. Whenever they do get piece. they use it up for their sleds. parts of the bones of the animals take it's place. They make the frame- work of the bones for sleds and then they stretch skins over the frane- work. They also use bones for spears, pipes. and fishhooks and even needles to sew suits out of skins. Their boots are made of skins from animals with fur on.
 The Eskimo houses are made of stone and snow, with a hole for smoke at the top and a long, narrow en- trance into which they have to enter by crawling on their knees. They sleep on snow benches covered with skins. The entrance is tightly coy- cred at night to keep out the cold and wind.
 They are always warm no matter how cold it is out doors. If the Eg- kimos want to live in one place the next year they have to build a new house. so think we are far better off. iRzs.. " 9s4se :.

lobes, turn to reds, browns and yellows.
It's fruit is small dun-colored berry.
The flesh that touches it becomes in
famed and swollen and breaks into
blisters that are communicated to other
parts as the victim rubs them. Some
persons are SO sensitive to the poison
that they cannot go near the ivy with

look upon, but il is bad to handle.

war on this enemy of the human kind.
but it seems to have disappeared-per-
haps with the disease from which its
chief promoter was at the time suf-
fering. In the absence of any organized
effort to destroy the poison ivy. it
behooves every individual to look out
for his own welfare. The poison ivy
is the forbidden vine.
