Gardner Lake.


 Beautiful Gardner Lake is located in New London county. The townships of Salem, MentviIle and Bozrah border on this lake. A
 one mile wide. The water is fresh and clean and the lake is beautifully bor- dered by woods.
 In June there is a magnificent dis play of mountain laurel.
 During the summer, one of the pleas ures is to go out on the lake and pick pretty white pond lilies which grow in some parts. Boating and fishing are good enjoy able sports at this place. Bathing is fine as the shore slopes gradually and not abruptly, as is the case in many mountain lakes. The bottom of the lake is not muddy, but clear and sandy.
 The two most noted camps at this lake are Camp Massapeaek, and Camp Cattahoe. Camp Massapeack is con ducted by the Y. M. c. A., Central Branch, of Brooklyn, New York Last summer there were one hundred ans thirty young men in camp A group of summer cottages fringe one shore ! of the laks.
 The beauties and advantages are not widely known as yet, but no doubt 1T the future it will grow into the pepula1 summer resort which it deserves t; l be.
 I think if there was a trolley lint from either Norwich OF New ondor | it would greatly help in the develop ment of this place.. I have lived on a farm which bor- ders on this lake, and have enjoyet
 its beauties and pleasures. ROSE DTTTMAN. l Salem.

Salem.
Was He Truthful?

Roger was deeply interested in his arithmetic. He had begun working as soon as he came home, not even stopping to make visit to the pan- try. His pencil seemed to be running a, race with the sewing machine, which kept up a busy hum.
 Suddenly something snapped, and the machine stopped
 There! I've broken my needle, and it is the last one I have in the house. Roger, can't you run to the store and get me one? I would like to finish this stitching today.
 "Oh, mother, must you have it? I haven't single minute to spare" said Roger.
 T can work on something else if you haven't time to go." replied his mother
 Rogers pencil worked on noisily for a few minutes. when someone knock ed.
 'Is Roger at home?" said an eager voice. "Oh, say! The bow and ar rows have come. Can't you go down and see them?"
 Roger threw down his pencil, seiz- ed his hat. and was off. He did not return till tea time Now for arithmetic" he said, when the table was cleared and the lamp placed upon it with the daily paper Hello! Here's the new magazine l must read the continued story. l think shall have time for that"
 But somehow the story was very | long, or else one story led on to an other, for when Roger at last tossed the book aside he found the evening almost gone. He glanced at the clock and rapid- ] ly counted the examples. "Oh, dear! can't do half as much as planned" he said. q am so tired I can't think" And soon, bidding his mother good night, he was snug in bed.
 The next day the teacher was sur prised that Roger had done so little; and when she asked the reason, he said he had done all he had time for Was this truthful? Was it right

4 Cunning LittIe Fence.

Dear Uncle Jed:-A gentleman had two pairs of pigeons living in dove cotes placed side by side. In each pigeon family there was 8 father and mother bird and two little ones. One day the parents in one dovecote went away to get food. and while they were gone one of their little birds fell out of the dovecote and down to the ground
 The poor baby bird was not much hurt. but it could not get back for it was too young to fly.
 Now the parents in the other dove cote were at home when this happen ed and it seemed as if they said to themselves:
 We must do something to make the dovecote safer''
 And then these wise, careful par ents went to work. They flew about until they found some small sticks These they carried to their own dove cote and there in the doorway they built cunning little fence of sticks Not so high. but that the baby pig cons could look over, but high enough to keep them from ever falling out of the dovecote as their little neighber had done.
 The owner of the pigeons. who had seen the birding fall and had put ii back into it's dcvecote, watched the birds the whole time as they gathered the sticks and built the little fence. ADELARD DUQUETTE, Age IS. Danielson.

Poem About a Giant.

There came a giant to my doer-l A giant, fierce and strong His feet were heavy ors the floor. His arms were ten yards long!
 x. I looked at him! I stared at himi And shivered through and through! At last I looked him in the face. And cried: Who cares for yeu The giant came in and was very an
 gry
 I took to my heels and fled to the
 pantryL The giant tried to open it with his I hit him in the head with a frying pan. The giant got up, was still more an- gry- I jumped through the window of the pantry The giant came in and was after me I took a jump. and landed in a tree. I The giant looked all over for me But I was on the tippity top of the treei was afraid, I should say, The giant picked up his hat an5 went away. HOMER FONTAINE, Age 15. Jewett City.

My War Garden.

The air was so cool and refreshing, and oh! what a wonderful breezeI How lazily I lounged in the porch hammock. Suddenly an idea possessed me. I looked at the vast area of va cant fields ali around me turned myself over in my mind.
 I am not doing my bit. The fields aren't doing their bit. Suppose the
 field and I get together and we'll both do our bit.
 How can this be done? you ask.
 We'll, this is what 1 did: First wrote to the department Of agricll- tore at Washington D. C., telling them that l intended to plant.a war garden and asking them to please send me some seeds. Inside of week the seeds arrived and then, with my tools in good shape, was ready for work Of course had no blow to till the ground, so I used a pitehfork. I ar ranged two plots, each feet by , feet. In one plot I planted radishes, beets,
 onions and lettuce. In the other po- tatoes, parsley, turnips and tomatoes. Anyone who has ever planted a gar den can imagine my rapture when. with a; nagnifying glass, I spied little sprouts. The other children of my cess, immediately followed my exam
 pie.
 Our plants are growing wonderful Iy, under our careful attention, and We hope to have a great crop, at har- vest time.
 Every war garden is blow for the kaiser.

The St Bernard Doqs.

The great St. Bernard dogs of to- day are messengers of mercy to the soldiers in the present war. These huge dogs were first trained and raised to this work of mercy in Switzerland. Large bands of monks would train these dogs to rescue trav- eleFs from the snows and glaciers. These dogs are given a small barrel of stinulants and a small package of first aid bandages tied around the barrel.
 When a severe storm Is over the monks fit these dogs out and send them in search of travellers. When a dog sights a traveller he immediately barks to attract attention and to wake the traveller. He then trots back to the monastery where he pleads for help. and one of the monks goes back with him.
 In France these dogs travel back and forth under fire, rescuing wound ed comrades and administering to the more seriously injured.
 These dogs make very good com rades and story is told of a man who had a dog named Jacques who followed his master through the war and even died with his master. In America these dogs are trained to some extent; but police dogs are trained more completely and are trained especially to guard property Many a soldier in dying has nut tered a prayer of thanks for these messengers of peace and mercy.

UNCLE JEp's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKEs.

An of US learn to talk after fashion, but the majority of people do not learn to talk right Talking by the book, or as common people talk. is not what your Uncle Jed is thinking about. Talking right requires more of a knowledge of things than of persons. Those who talk about persons become gossips. and this dwarfs the mind in stead of enlarging it. so that it has become a proverb that "Gossips never h=ve great thoughts"
 There is enough to talk about in this world without talking about ones neighbors. O. repeating like a parrot things that have been heard. about them. s.....-,.. -
 There are plenty of things to talk about from letters to philosophy, or to science. or to art; ard everything that grows, or runs or flies. or things green. or things useful.
 To talk about things indicates in- tellisenee-to talk about your neigh bOrs in a gossipy way is evidence oi an empty mind. and often a sign of a wicked disposition.
 Those learn to talk right who avoid small talk and devote themselves tC profitable conversation,
 It is an accomplishment to be ablt -to see no evil. to hear no evif and tc speak no ev1L-
 The person of ideas is usually a per. son of fsw words
 IL was once said of a great states. mer that he could hold his tongue fl fourteen languages.
 IL has also been remarked that { uarrow-souled person like a narrow nseked bottle. is capable of making . loud noise with bis mouth.
 ID talk right you should talk little and in the use of few words sal much

Agriculture.

Agriculture is the art of eultivating the ground to obtain products.
 All soils adapted to agricultural pur- poses are composed of two classes of ubstanees-erganic and inorganic. The inorganic parts are derived from the decay of animal and vegetable matter The organic part of the soil generally called vegetable mold. To be fertile a soil must contain con- siderable portion of this organic mat ter.
 There are two kinds of soil, heavy and light. Heavy soil is most gener- ally wet and contains a large portion of clay This soil is most adapted to wheat, oats, Indian corn and the va rious grasses.
 Light soil is easily cultivated. Ii will raise rye. barley, buekwheat and the tap-Footed plants.
 Soils are chiefly made of what are sometimes called the three primitive earths-silex (including sand and graveD, clay and lime.
 At present people should raise more wheat and eatables than ever before We need it to feed the allies on.

Wild Cranes.

Wild Grapes. Rambling, and growing at random,
 Lifting, as breezes go ny, Laden with perfume. an incense,
 Light as an angels sigh, Nothing with fragrance or oder,
 Is freighted with aught more rare, Than the warm moist breath of the
 springtime
 When the wild grape scents the air. All of the vernal unfoldings,
 Scatter their offerings too, Crab apple, mayhower, daisy,
 Violets, rare white and blue, Clover, and valley lily,
 Lilac, wild rose, with it's thorn. But the wild grape filings from it's elus- ters, Prodigal sweets to the morn. Pausing in expectant wonder, Whether in time to come. When worries are all laid under The sod in my long, last home. | If wild grape will not creep near me, An answering. voice to the call T love you.' dear, clingipg wild vine On the old stone wall.

windHills and waterwheels and ever so many other things. Behind his fathers house there was a little brook flowing into the river. In this stream Robert had built dam and put up a water- wheel which kept running day and night till a freshet came and swept it into the river.
 His father was a carpenter and Robert spent great part of his leisure hours ln the shop inyenting or con- structing queer machines of which no one, but himself knew the use; and I am not sure that he always knew him self.
 When Robert was Ii years his brother, who lived in Boston, sent him a copy. of Robinson Crusoe as a biFth- day present. Almost every child reads this book, and 1 suppose there is not another book in the world which a Echtld likes to read so well as this one. Robert read it through twice and he found it very interesting. Robert wanted to be a Robinson erQsoe. and he actually went so far as to form plan by which he could live 1 on an island, sleep in a cave and have no companions but a dog and an old cat
 i Of course, he did not tell anybody about this famous plan, for fear his friends would find it out and prevent 1 him from becoming a Crusee But he went to work and got everything ready as fast as he could.
 Robert, however. gave little thought Or heed at this moment to the wishes of his two companions, for he was wholly taken up with the preparation for the grand departure

The PanY Exnrasa.

As you know, after the Civil war, there was trouble with the Indians in the west. Soldiers were sent ol t to calm down the Indians. and man- battles were fought.
 At the same time people living on the border wanted their mail, so plan was fixed so that man mounted on fast pony. who could endure hard ]. ships, would carry the mail in sack to station, and from there start on another pony until he got to the .bor- der, then he would deliver the mail and start back
 There was great danger in doirg this work, for the Indians would oft en ambush the Fony express rider, shoot him down, and the mail would come in late. Some times a well tralhed pony would stay by his dead master for s time and then keep on till he reached the station. Outlaws would often shoot the rider down, take the mail sack, and keep the money in the sack, if there was any.
 Some of these riders had long dis tance to ge-sometimes two hundred miles. One of the most famous riders
