DOWN ON THE OLD ST. JOHNS.

I wish I was down on the Old St
 Johns, whar' the palms an the hyacinth
 grows: An the fish leap up as yer row along, An sp1ashes the water on yer toes Down On the Old St. Johns! Whar' the moss hangs down from the
 cypress trees: An the turtles lie in the sun Whsr- the river glides along smooth
 lv- Whar' nature her work has done Go down thar airly in the morin', Jes' when the sun is out. An hear the birds a singin', An a callin' all about Down on the Old St. Johns! With a hook an line an a good stout
 pole. My gun an Bob. the dog. I could spend a week at that good old
 place. An fish on a stranded log Down on the Old St Johns.

many men selling peanuts and bal looms.
 One mans voice which appeared amongst the crowd of takers sounded something like this: Candy! Candy! It's a dandy for the young and for the old! Candyi Candy! It's a dandy!"
 Soon we reached the grounds and what a merry bunch we were. The first thing we did was to eat our lunch. which consisted mainly of sandwiches, cookies, fruit and ice cream.
 We then walked through the admin istra ton building, where we saw many beautiful articles, some of which were embroidery, cakes, vegetables, etc.
 Later we purchased two bricks of ice cream and some peanuts. After while we went on the merry -go-round three times.
 The rest of the afternoon we spent in watching the races and roaming around, taking in the sweet scented air.
 We returned home that night, tired but jolly crowd, after spending most delightful day at the eair in a noisy, unassuming way.

Ten Little Piqs.

Ida and Jennie were two little girls who lived near the city. The electric cars passed by their home and they often rode in them.
 The little girls papa was a farmer and Ida and Jennie used to think it lots of fun to go to the big barn and feed the horses, cows and pigs. In the back part of the barn was a pen of ten little pigs about three months old.
 One day when their papa had gone to Boston Ida and Jennie ran to the barn and opened the door of the pig gies' pen. Oh what a squealing and jumping about those little pigs had The girls thought it great fun; but when they tried to get them back into
 Then Ida and Jennie began to cry They knew that their papa would be angry. for he told them never to open the door of the pigpen.
 All at once the pigs ran out as quick as they could. An electric car was passing by and the pigs were frolick- ing on the track in front of it.
 They will get killedi" cried Jen- nie
 But then the little girls stopped cry ing, for the little pigs had formed a double line and were running in front of the car. After 8 while the conductor and the driver helped them to get the pigs back in the pen. They told their father what happened He did not scold them. but laughed very much at what he heard:

My Pet Deer.

Our farm was about one mile from the school, and. so as to come home the quicker I used to take a short cut through the lots.
 When going through the lots I had to pass a house that had a dog of which I was afraid. This dog, whose name was Buster. would always chase me. One day while coming home from school the dog chased me as usual. I jumped over the stone wall the dog also doing this. stumbled over something which at once produced cry of pain. and fell. The dog was a piece of wood near my hand which picked up and with which frightened the dog away.
 I went over to the spot where the cry of pain had come from and found little deer with bleeding leg. The deer looked at me with frightened eyes. for I suppose he thought I was going to harm him. as had the person who had injured him. After saving tender words to him. he seemed to have lost some of his fear. picked up the lit tie creature and went home where I bathed his leg and made a comfort able bed for him to lie on.
 I being always with him he became very tame and followed me about like 2 faithful dog. I named him Beauty. for he really was one. Beauty would go everywhere in the woods and fields, but would always return. found him, Beauty was amusing him self under the trees of the grove which belonged to our farm, when some trespassers arrived, and Beauty seeing their guns became very frightened for he must have remem- bered what harm another gun had cone him. Before he had chance to run a bullet passed through his heart.
 Hearing the crack of the rifle I ran to the spot to find dear little Beauty dead with his murderers walking calmly away (for they had heard some one coming) as if they had done no harm.
 Beauty is buried near the pine tree under whose branches he was kill ed.

LETIKO, THE SUN CHILD

Once there was woman who had nc children, and this made her very un- happy So she spoke one day to the | Sunball, saying: Dear Sunball, send | me only little girl now, and when she l is 12 years old you may take her back | again"
 So soon after this the Sunball sent her q little girl, whom the woman called Letiko and watched over with great care till she was 12 years old Soon after that, while Letiko was away one day gathering herbs. tine Sunball came to her and said: 'Leti- ko. when you go home tell your moth CT that she must bethink herself of what she promised me" Then Letiko went straight home and said to her mother: While I was gathering herbs a fine. tall gentleman came to me and charged me to tell you that you should remember what you promised him.
 When the woman heard that she was sore afraid, and immediately shut all the doors and windows of the holes and kept Letiko hidden away. But she forgot to close up the key hole, and through it the Sunball sent a ray into the house which took hold of the little girl and carried her away with to him.
 One day, the Sunball having sent her to the straw shed to fetch straw, the girl sat down on the piles of straw and bemoaned herself saying: As sighs this straw under my feet so sighs my heart after my mother
 And this caused her to be so long away the1 fhe Sunball asked her, when she came back: 'Eh. Letiko, where have you been so long
 She answered.: My slippers are too big. and I could not go faster
 Then the Sunbali made the slippers shorter.
 At last, however, the Sunbal1 became aware how sad Letiko was. He sent her second time to bring straw, and, slipping in after her, he heard how she lamented for her mother. Then he went home, called two foxes to him, and said: will you take Letiko home 9"
 "Yes, why not?'
 "But what will you eat and drink if you should become hungry and thirsty by the way ?'
 ''We will eat her flesh and drink her blood"
 When the SunbalI heard that he said: You are not suited for this af- fair"
 Then he sent them away and called two hares to him, and said: will you take Letiko home to her mother?"
 Yes. why not?"
 'What will you eat and drink if you should become hungry and thirsty by the way?"
 We will eat grass and drink from the streamlets."
 Then take her, and bring her home'
 Then the hares set out, taking Leti- ko with them, and because it was a long way to her home they became

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

Since we have talked to you about the potato it may be well to have a little chat abo-t the Ten-Iined Spear man, or Colorado potato beetle, which was unknown outside of Colorado 60 years ago
 When these little beetles decided to adopt the potato as their favorite food and to cross the continent in search of it, they were found to travel about 20 miles each year
 These beetles multiply so fast the a single pair will produce sixty mil Hon in a single year. and this is why everybody has to get busy to save the potatoes the moment they appear up on them
 And this little beetle created such excitement and so much fear that it came near breaking up trade between

Ered's Conversion.

Dear Uncle Jed: Fred was a short. stocky and healthy lad and kind in many ways, but he was discourteous and rough. This was against him.
 Frank James, the captain of the village nine, would not let tim play on the team.
 Fred was angry. He took bats and other articles on Frank, he even threw Franks ball into the lake.
 One day Franks father asked where his things were.
 Frank sadly confessed Fred threw them in the lake, and now, said Frank, l am going to convert Fred.
 He went out one morning very happy. Frank now sacrificed his po- sition on the team for Fred. Fred was amazed. He became very sorry for what he had done and wanted to pay for the ball. but Frank would not have it.
 The next week a player was to go away for good and Frank got his position as pitcher. He is thanking Frank now for the kindness shown him. He Is no longer a bad boy
 Always repay badness with kind ness"

1 hungry by the way. Then they said to the little girl Climb this tree, dear Letiko and re- main there till we have finished eat ing"
 So Letiko climbed the tree and the hares went grazing.
 It was not very long. however, be- fore lamia came under the tree and called out, "Letiko. Letiko, come down and see what beautiful shoes I have on."
 "Oh: my shoes are much finer than yours.'
 Come down. I am in hurry. for my house is not yet swept"
 "Go home and sweep it, then, and come back when you are ready"
 Then the lamia went away and swept her house, and when she was ready she came back and called out: what~a beautiful apron I have"
 "Oh. my apron is much finer than yours.
 "If you will not come down I will cut 1 down the tree and eat you"
 Do so. and then eat me-
 Then the lamia hewed with all her strength at the tree. but could not cut it down.
 When the lamja was gone away Let iko called out, Little hares! Little hares"
 Then said one hare to the other: Listen; Letiko is calling" and they both ran back as to her as fast as they could go. Then Letiko came down from the tree and they went on their way.
 The lamia ran as fast as she cerld after them to catch them up. and when she came to a field where people were working she asked them: Have you seen any one pass this way7" They answered; We are planting beans"
 "Oh, did not ask about that, but if any onN had passed this way"
 But the people only answered the louder: Are you deaf? It is beans, beans, beans, we are planting"
 When Letiko had nearly reached her home the dog knew her and called out: Bow WOW; see, here comes Letiko!"
 And the mother said: "Hushi thou beast of i'll omen; wilt thou make me burst with misery" ?"
 Next the cat on the roof saw her and called out "Miaouw, niaouw, See. here comes Letiko!"
 And the mother said: Keep silence. thou beast of i'll omen. Wilt thou make me burst with misery"
 Tho nearer Letiko and the hares came the lamia- and when the hare was about to slip in by the house door she caught it by it's little tail and tore 1t out
 When the hare came in the mother stood up and said to it: "Welconae. dear little hare; because you have brought me back Letiko I will silver your little tnil.'

The Green Twins,

They were just exactly the same size, with the same beady black eyes, and their feet looked as if they might have corns on them. They dressed alike, too, in lovely green coats and hoods edged in red Their voices were not at all sweet. but they loved to sing, and never seemed to mind If people did laugh.
 They lived in a cigar store, where they were often spoken to and given pieces of candy. They liked to be talk ed to and admired, but if anybody talked grossly to them they would fly and scratch.
 This seems very naughty, but Polly and Patty were not little girls but parrots
 MT. Peters, the man who kept the could only speak Spanish then, but they soon learned English.
 As they were very tame he did not keep them in cage, but let them perch on a pair of large deer horns in the front of the store. They never do you do?" Glad to see you!" when anyone came in, and Goodbye, come again." when they went.
 One day Mrs. Peters, who was a very prim old lady, thought she would take Patty home with her, as she was often very lonesome.
 An old friend of Mrs Peters called to see her. She was French and could not speak very SCOQ E1lSllSH oH0 Lt1eu to tell about the old fat poodle she had so many years that had just died. She cried as she talked, and Patty must have thought it very funny. for she opened her beady eyes and strengthened up to listen. In a few minutes she began to initiate the French 1ady-sniff1ng and sobbing and saying in the same broken English: Mon poor Fibre! So sweet dogt"
 Prim Mrs Peters was very much shocked at Patty. She was alarmed for fear her friend would be offended so she took a piece of green baize and threw it over the naughty bird, think ing that in the dark she would be quiet. and so she was; for some time sine did not make a sound. but all the time she was pecl<ing and pulling at the baize until she had made a hole large enough for her bill and one eye Then she cried out: f'Hooray!" in loud tones and at once began to sniff1e and sob and talked about Poor Fibre" more than ever.
 Mrs Peters carried her into another room. She sent her back to the cigar store next morning. where Polly wei comed her by cackling like a hen. But the French lady has never liked Mrs. Peters since, nor does Mrs Peters like parrots.

The other day Gertrude bought a book with the money her aunt had given her for a birthday present, and was hurrying home to read it when she passed a blind beggar woman.
 Please help the b1ind!" cried the woman.
 Gertrude felt sorry, but as her last cent was spent she had nothing to give the woman.
 Just then lady and a girl went by. They were richly dressed and as they passed the heor---~- "-'7 0 girl threw some money to her. The money fell on IT. sidewalk and r0iIrd away, but she did not stop to pick it up.
 The beggar heard the sound of the money as it fell, but could not help herself Nor did she need to. for Ger trude ran forward and in a minute was on her knees searching for the money This took some time. but at last Ger trude found it all and handed it to the began
