An Old Farm.

One day not very long ago we had a clambake on a farm about four miles from Moosup. We went through coun- try roads with autos, which took quite long, for we had to go slow because the roads were in bad condition.
 We get up there safe and sound. We visited the house from cellar to attic. It was so queer and old fashioned. It was so old that the floors were all bent and worn out. Upstairs we found many secret cupboards and closets. All the doors seemed to lead back to the same place.
 We cooked dinner and made clam chowder on an old stove which was all rusty. We had dinner under a tree out side. It gave us good appetite to eat out in the fresh air.
 After dinner we found many wild strawberries. We then went around looking at the old barns. While we were doing this the men went fishing in the nearby pond which belonged to the farm. An old tree near the house had a chain tied to it. The tree had grown all around the chain and it looked as though it were growing out of it.
 We had two cameras with us. so we took pictures of the old ia rmhouse and its surroundings as souvenirs.

Bulls Head Tavern.

The early New Workers of 25 or 30 years ago perhaps recall a burly phrase then used in the gossip of their elders. If some scandal was being told, the narrator would say: Don't tell So and So of this or it will be known before night from Bulls Head to the Battery" To many of the younger generation, who heard this often in their childhood, never really knew what it's local origin or its literal meaning was. Yet for 150 years Bulls Head Tavern, with it's cattle market, had been one of the institutions of Manhattan.
 Bulls Head Tavern is brown, angu- lar and home1y. The closer one studies etching could catch the charm of this weatherbeaten structure. In style it resembles a coalbox: the avenue front is of brick, and the gable end is of wood. There are three rows of win dows on each side, but those above the first story are too characterless for description. No aesthetic comfort can be derived from it's chimney.
 Dingy and useless as this place may seem to us, it was not thus considered by the innkeeper, for he had taken down the grim bulls head signboard which had weathered so many gales and, with the use of a paint brush transformed the tavern into a new Tangled hotel" and it presents more than a passing interest to the traveller of today.

My Visit to Pine Crest.


 I started for Pine Crest on the Fourth of July at ten o'clock from my home. We took the car at the station for Plainfield and then waited at the junction for forty-five minutes, then the train for Providence came and we went aboard.
 We were in Providence at three o'clock, and took the car for Crescent Park station. From there we walked to Pine Crest. I had fireworks that night.
 The next day I went to Crescent Park, and rode the hobby horses three times, the roller coaster the whip and through the river of Venice once.
 I went in bathing every day and went clamming and fishing once. I rode to Providence, Riverside, Warren and Bristol in an automobiles I could see Rocky Point across the water from where I was in the auto. On Saturday before I came home l went to Pawtucket and Attleboro. came home Sunday at nine o'clock. Indeed I had a very nice time and hope to go to Pine Crest next sum- mer.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
The Study of Wild Flowers,

Dear Uncle Jed: think it very in- teresting to know the wild flowers. and enjoy a walk in the woods and fields. especially near our place through the woods to High Hill. There are such beautiful cedar trees, with woodbine climbing up them. They resemble church steeples. It is a pleasure when you have little knowledge of the flowers you meet at every turn. Their names alone serve as a clew to their entire histories, giving us that sense of companion ship with out surroundings, which is so necessary to the full enjoyment of outdoor life. But if we have never studied bontany, it has been no easy matter to learn these names, for we find that the very people who have all ways lived among the flowers are oft en ignorant of even their common ti- ties, and frequently increase our eventual confusion by naming them incorrectly.
 When the flowers are brought in from the woods they should be sorted according to color. and then traced to their proper places in the various sec tionS-
 An ordinary magnifying glass (such as can be bought for 75 cents), a sharp penknife, and ore or two dissecting needles, will be found useful in the ex- animation of the smaller flowers. The

A Trip to Canada.

It was in the summer and there was no school. Papa had been thinking about going to Canada. Mamma had been a few years before with my little brother
 We were on the train looking out oe the window. Say, if you boys and girls could only have been there. You could see the hills and rivers, and when you go over those dark bridges.
 After a while we stopped at a sta ton. The car was going to stay there a while, so papa went into the city to get something for us to eat. He did not expect we had to change cars, so he left me there alone.
 After while everybody got off the cars and I was there all alone The conductor came through the car and saw me.
 He took my suit case and me off. There were some ladies who took care or me till papa came back
 That was the second time we changed cars We had to that time because there was something the mat ter.
 I got to Canada all right and had a good time and then came back to Westerly.

Clara Barton.

Clara Barton is we'll known to the world as the pioneer of the Red Cross Society of America. This society was founded in Europe in 1884, but did not make it's way to American until 1881, when Clara Barton succeeded in es- tablishing it.
 She was born in Oxford. Mass, on Christmas day. Her brother and sis ter were very much older than she. She was fond of animals. as the fam fly lived on a farm.
 When the Civil war broke out, she offered her services, as a volunteer nurse. She nursed the soldiers. She worked hard for four years, then she went to Switzerland.
 Later she was a nurse in the Prus- sian war. Here she helped the starv- ing and homeless and gave food to the children of the French
 In 1873, on her return to America, she asked Congress to establish the Red Cross society here. She was chosen president of the society.
 In 1898 President Mckinley sent Miss Barton to Cuba to help the poor people of that country who were starving. She did heroic work in Cuba.
 There now stands an Iron Cross in Europe in honor of her bravery and good deeds.
 She was so years old when she died loved and honored by all the world.

The Goose and the Golden Eoos

There was once a man who had goose. This goose was not like the geese on your grandfather's farm She was very handsome goose and every day she laid big golden egg
 The man sold the egg at the mar ket. He saved the money and was slowly getting rich.
 One day he said to himself T wish that I was rich now" Every day my soose lays a golden egg. She must have mass of gold inside of her. If she has not, how can she lay golden eggs. If I could have all the gold at once I should be very rich So the man killed his goose and tried to find the gold.
 Alas! There was no gold to be found. His goose was like all other geese; but now he had killed her and he would have TO more golden eggs to sell at the market
 The foolish man had lost the good that he had without getting the riches which he wished
