STORIES FOR WIDE-AWAKES
CHILDRENpS HAPPY TIMES.

One of the happiest holidays in the whole veal in Switzerland is when the farmers bring their hocks down from the mountains where they have been all summer. School is closed and the children go to meet them in process sions, singing songs, ringing bells and waving flags. As a reward for their enthusiasm the farmers treat them to a dainty supper of sweets and cakes, which they are allowed only on holi- days.
 The children of Russia play marbles with the knuckle bones of sheep.
 A babys cradle in Natal, South Afri- stretched on the ground and held ia place by strong wooden pegs. The father scrapes it quite clean and then rubs it with fat to make it soft ond pliable. This takes weeks of time. When the cradle is finished the little baby is put inside, snug and tight, and is carried on the mothers back. In- stead of rocking the child when she wishes to quiet it the mother hangs the cradle to a rafter of the roof of the hut and sets it gently in motion or hangs it to the branch of a tree out side
 Cookie bread is a queer name for a child's game, but in England they do
  To play this game the children crouch down in a group or row, with their hands clasping their knees. When they are in place they swing forward and backward all together, keeping time and singing an old song, which begins as follows:
 Up with the heels and down with the
 head,
 And that's the way to make cocklety
 bread"
 Pleasing tops of Naples are doll tops. The boys whip them, and as they go spinning around they call to them "Go faster, go faster, don."
 An instructive and entertaining game may be played in the evening or on rainy days when children are com pelled to remain indoors. Blank cards are distributed to each one,. and every child writes on his two lines of any poem he has learned at kindergarten or school. The cards are then handed to someone who has been chosen to read them. As soon as the first line is read anyone who remembers the rest of the poem writes it and receives the card on which the rest is written. The one who gets the most cards wins the game and receives some small prize.

THE THINGS SHE DIDN'T SAY.

T think the very meanest thing you can say, sometimes, is just nothing at all" said Prue Elder, with a decided nod of her auburn head.
 The girls gave a shout of laughter. How can you say anything mebss when you say nothing at all?" asked Bessie Snow.
 Well, I will tell you. I was staying up at Aunt Riah's last summer, you know, getting strong. after typhoid fe- yer. All the girls were nice to me, because they knew I couldn't play, or even read very much, and needed tc that girls could be so nice. I got to love them all.
 There was one in particular. Her name was Alice Otis, and you'll all know her, I hope, because she's com ing to visit me next vacation.
 At first I thought Alice rather odd. She is very quiet, and she would have been hard to get acquainted with, only she was sorry for me because l had been ill, and took particular pains.
 T just can't tell you all the things that Alice did for me. She had a pony and cart, and almost every day she used to take me for drive. Then she would bring me flowers and read though I found afterwards she would hardly ever do that for any one-she is so tirnid.
 Well, there was a crowd of girls that call themselves, the SClckerS, De- cause they always. stick together. They are a little bit-jusf a little bit-noisy and slangy, but after all they were good-natured and popular. and well. to tell you the truth, I felt f1atteted that they took me into their bunch and seemed to like me.
 "One day we were all out on Aunt Riah's porch with our fancy work-aI the 'stickers,' that is, and myself. Alice Otis name was mentioned, and they all began at once to talk about her. O, the stuck-up thing they said.- She is just as prim- and horrid as she can bel She won't be anything if she can't se the whole show and all that sort of thing. And what do you suppose said-I, after Alice had been such an angel to me. and after I had learned so well how shy she is and how hard it is for her to make up with people. I didn't say one word! That's why said little while ago that sometimes the meanest thing one can say is nothing at all.''
 'T believe you are right, Prue," said Bessie. T have had some experience like yours. and I don't believe that even foolish or unkind words could make me more ashamed of myself.''- The Kings Builders.

CHRISTMAS DUTIES.

s. A Watson At Christmas when the snow lies deep, And bitter winds the valleys sweep; When silvery frost shall crown the
 hill. And all the earth is cold and still, Remember then His flocks and herds, Shelter His cattle, feed His Birds. At Christmas. when the. rain comes
 down, And gloomy want pervades the town; When hope and charity are rare, And all the world is chill with care, Remember then His loving words, And feed His little human birds. When food is scant. and hearths are
 cold. Stretch out your hands, and give your
 gold; When Christmas bells their message
 ring, Obey the Universal King: To honor His remember then, ~Be merciful, O sons of meni''

 the American Red, Cross campaign huge success in the big drive. The meaning of the Red Cross movement to the boys of this country who of fered their services and have gone into training is being. explained by the Red Cross workers stationed at different booths in town. Those in charge make an appeal to the people of Sprague to assist in this good work by subscrlb- ing.

A Thanksgiving Entertainment.

Dear Uncle Jed: Although we have but a small school of seventeen pupils and out of the number only three girls, we gave a very pleasing Thanksgiv- ing entertainment.
 The day before the 18th in our pen n1anship period we wrote formal invi- tetions to our parents and friends to he present at the Thanksgiving ex- ercises.
 Each child drew an appropriate de- sign on the corner of their invita- ton.
 We did not spend much time in practicing because we were so busy with our school work. but the enter tainment proved satisfa ctory.
 As I'm the oldest scholar in school had the honor of announcing the programme which consisted of dia- logues recitations. songs and drills.
 Our closing numbers were America and a salute to the> flag. LOUISE A. KOvAROVICS. Age 1a.

WEST THOMPSON
Property of Catholic Parish Thorough Iy Renovated and lmproved-Chureh and Rectory in Fine Condition.

The Sacred Heart church, West Thompson, of which Rev. John J. El- ty' is pastor, has been in the hands of decorators and painters for the past few weeks and is TOW in the best condition in it's history. New Stations of the Cross, beautiful works of art de- picting the Saviours sorrowful jour ney ito Calvary, have been installed. The people of the parish are delight ed with the attractive, neat and pros porous appearance of. the church prop erty, since the rectory has also been painted within and without, and has been thoroughly renovated.
 These Improvements are in line with the policy of Bishop John J. Milan, of this diocese, and of the Roman Catholic church in general, which
