Near ny old home. and on

long hill. It was interesting
and amusing TO watch what
happened there on bright aft

A large group of cyclists
would reach the foot Of the
slope. and. bending over their
handle-bars, they would start
TO climb. Before long n and
another would dismount, after
q little while = few more
would do likewise, then q few
more, and al last on the final
stretch just q few stalwarts
were left

 How delighted we were to see each ether. Auntie had supper ready when arrived
 After eating supper I was asked many questions about my long and tiresone journey over the rough and muddy road. I was very tired so re- tired early.
 The next morning I got up refresh ed. After my. cousin Bessie's work was done she showed me about the farm where she had spent most of her life.
 l was interested in the animals COWS, sheep, horses and chickens.
 We used to go for the cows on horseback every night, because we had to cross. wide brock. and as 8 reward for getting them we each had glass of warm milk.
 Bessie had small garden in which she used to spend couple of hours each day.
 For amusements we went to pie nics, outings for observation, auto mobile rides and boating.

The Urehins.

Builded from a pile of sand Brew a castle tall and grand,
 With it's moat and winding stair, And turret here and there, Standing guard beside the sea. What could more imposing be? From the shells mad pebbles, too. Kings and queens mad princes grew, This white pebble on the stair Represents a lady fair; And these tiny ones of gray, Soldiers to the kings are they. Two and two they marching go, Bravely forth to que1l the foe. Look! The enemy draws nigh. How the shells and pebbles fly. Terror struck. they turn and run, So the victory is won. Gross the moat. and through the door Back the soldiers come once more. Soon the tire crept up and then, Softly crept tt back again, And the castle tall and grand? Pebbles in pile of sand.

The Haunted ttAuae.

One bright Sunday I was sitting on my porch, watching the gay passersby But soon I saw two of my girl chums coming up the walk, and on. entering the porch they said: We're goft-s for walk: Do you want to join usy"
 I hurriedly put on my coat and hat and we were soon on our way
 After walking for some time we came to a large deserted house with a haunted appearance.
 People say this house is haunted :" said one of the girls, while another laughed ard said there was no suci, thing. So 10 prove there was no such thing we decided to enter the hoese. The door being open, we walked in. We found ourselves in a large hall whose walls were covered with dark red paper.
 An old broken chandelier was still hanging on the ceiling. On one side ot the hall was A large door that stood slightly open. First we pceked in. then we entered. We were surprised to lind such a handsome room in such a house. The large windows reached from the ceiling to the floor, while one side of the room was built up ef large mir TOT.

 AWAkES,

Here it. is mid October and Uncle Jed has seen two young birds, a gold finch and an English sparrow, within the week, just able to feed themselves.
 The goldfnches do not build their nests and lay their eggs until the silk is in the seed pods of the thistle and this is why they raise a late brood and are also. called thistle birds.
 The English sparrows. who are such duarreling tribe that they fight shamelessly among themselves as well as quarrel with all their neigfbora have four and five broods of young nnes year, and this little fellow came put of a hole in the swamp maple in which these srarrows have lived and raised hundreds of sparrows in the past ten or fifteen years

Along the Way.

There are many helpful things te de Along Iife's way. Helps to the helper. if we but kr:sw. From day to day! ,Eo many troubled hearts to soothe. So many pathways rough to smooth, So many comforting words to say To hearts that falter along the way. Here is a lamp of hope gone out
 Along the way Some one stumbled and fell, no doubt, But, brother, stay! .- Out of thy store of oil refill; Kindle the courage that snoulders still; Think what Jesus would do today For one who has fallen beside the way. How many lifted hands still plead Along life's way!S The old, sad story of human need Reads on for aye But let us follow the Saviorss plan Love unstinted to every mani Content if, at most, the world should
 say, "He helped his brother along the way"

One day as Elena walked home from school she noticed some very poor looking cottages outside her grand fathers high stone walls.
 Elena had a. kind heart and wonder ec. if she couldn't help some one of these poor people.
 4n one yard sat a little lame girl. She could not walk and her mother and father were too poor to buy her an invalid's chair.
 Elena wondered if she could not help her. She thought of this all the way home She would save her week fy allowance and buy her the chair
 That evening when she took her walk she carried a bouquet of flowers to the little lame girl.
 When she had saved money for the chair she bought it and took it to her.
 Elena said: T enjoyed seeing her happy more than I could have enjoyed the money"

Dear Uncle Jed: The round cap. or ''Kapa." worn by Montenegrin soldiers is a history of their country in minia- ture. The people of Montenegro, in deed, have 9 saying that "kapa talks, and they are not far wrong. It is the national headdress for war, and it is the same for prince and peasant. In color it is vivid. crimson but it has deep black border, which only leaves a small crown of the foundation color visible.
 The black border is a sign of mourn ing for the terrible battle of Kossoyo. when the old Montenegrin and Serb empires were overthrown by the Turks and their armies annihi1ated. The red crown signifies the field of blood" of the same great fight

 Furthermore the different insignia of army rank are worn Cel the rim of the kapa, from the different combfna- tions of crossed swords of the officer to the simple leaden star of the corporal.
