The Home On Fire.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you about the fire that was in our house Feb2, 1917.
 I had only been home from school a few minutes when my mother came to the door and told me the house was on fire. M At first i thought she was only 1ok- ing but soon found out that it was a fact. I helped to carry water upstairs to che fire for a while. The nshe told me 1 had better start for my father who was working about a mile away helping to build a house.
 I ran all the way there and when papa heard the word fire" he rushed past me before I had & chance to ex- plain. He stopped at the store and gave the alarm. Several men started with him for a Ion gdistar1ce race. Pa pa arrived last because the other men were younger and he ran too fast at first and lost his wind.
 But when the men arrived mamma had put the fire all out with the fire extinguisher which she had forgotten at first. Only for te fire extinsuisl1er all of our buildings might have been burned to the ground, as she could never have put them out with water.
 Everybody ought to have an ex- tinguisher in the house. am glad that we have one in our house.

A Day on the River.

One day in July three boys and l planned trip up the river.
 >It was early in the morning, dawn was just breaking when two boats were pushed off, carrying four boys full of fun. Our first nnisEap was to lose an oar which we soon recovered
 We rowed on until we came to the dam where we tied the toats to the bank with short lines which we car ried with us. We then set out for the park further up the river. After we had f1shed for two hours and had caught but one fish we were diseour- aged and soon returned to Where we had left the boats.
 We were surprised to find but one boat. The other had broken the line and f1oated down the river. We climbed into the boat that was left and set out after the other boat We swam over to it, for it had caught in one of the branches cverhanging the river. After we had rawed down to the cove we thought we would try our luck at fishing once more. After fishing for some time without success we continued on down the river.
 One of the boys let the fish go for fun. The fish swann away, glad to be free.
 As we landed I stepped upon a slip pery board and the result was that I tumbled into the river. I was helped out by the boys and taken home. That was the end of A Day on the River
