Once upon a time a cherry and apple
tree lived beside each other with only
q stone wal! between them. They had
lived there a great many years and
often talked together of their good
times. they had had, and of the strange
things they each had seen. One morn

cherry tree said to the apple tree: Il

UNCLE JEDs TALK TO WIDE.

suppose every Wide-Awake has a temper. and if they do not watch out the temper will do something dis graceful with them.
 Most everyone has a temper which disgraces them every now and then, because they have not complete con trol of themselves.
 A temper causes you to say insulting or impolite things and to strike a blow which should not have been struck.
 There are quick tempers, and hair trigger tempers, which are quicker, and bad tempers; but no one ever heard tell of a good temper.
 Temper will prey upon the mind and make a person feel meaner than they feel when they have a fever and have to call the doctor.
 It takes something besides medicine to take the temper out of a boy or girl or man or woman. It takes will power, and the quicker this is applied the quicker the trouble it makes will stop.
 A grown up tart temper makes men profane and gives women a cutting tongue and creates misery in both.
 Young folks may overcome temper and thereby gain grace. a quality so charming that it may make them seem to be like, angels, and always deserving praise instead of a whipping.
 More than half the trouble in the world would disappear if ugliness was suppressed.
 Think twice before you speak" is a warning older than books. intended to check temper and careless tongue; but only few people have ever tried to do it. Those who have and suc- ceeded have become masters of men because they made themselves master of themselves.

POETRY.
Give Him a Hammer and Saw.

Don't buy him a sword and a gun.
 Whose purpose on earth is to kill; Don't teach him that murder is fun, Or something the bosom to thrill. Don't send him to valley or hill To slaughter the dove or the daw,
 A lesson in youth to instiH, Just give him a hammer and saw. Just give him some lumber of pine, Just give him bundle of boards And teach him to follow line,
 And teach him builders rewards. Oh, better than rifles or swords, Than stilling a song or a cav, < The thing that he fashions affords The boy with hammer and saw. He'll work like a beaver. the boy,
 He'll learn like the wisest again The tree of the woods to employ.
 He'll fashion house for the wren He'll make you a trinket, and then He'll figure and study and draw
 He'll learn all the lessons of men If you give him a hammer and saw. So teach him to work and to plan
 The pleasure that laboring brings. So make him a builder, a man,
 And not 8 destroyer of things.
 For closer the artisan clings To family, country and law
 Than soldiers or swordSmen or
 kings
 So give him a hammer and saw. Douglas Malloch, in American Lum-

A Narrow Escape,

Dear Uncle Jed: am going to tell you about the narrow escape a horse and my sister had.
 She left the horse in front of MT. Mannings grain store. faced toward the railroad track. The horse was old and never ran away.
 About five minutes after Phoebe went inside. the train came along. The noise scared the horse and he began to run.
 Phoebe heard the noise and went to see what it was. She saw the horse running toward the railroad track Seeing tha. the horse would get killed if he went any further. she got hold of the bridle and tried to hold him back. The horse threw her under the wheels and Thoebe's arm was run over. It was her luck that 1t was a light buggy. Therefore she was only slightly hurt.
 Just then the railroad station man come and stopped the horse about-one foot from the train. q Phoebe thanked him.
