UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAkES.

DO you know that a toad will some times hurry while some boys and girls never do? A toad can hasten home, or run away from an enemy.
 We all know a toad does not look as if he could hurry. Some people think if a toad's tongue is as quick as flash there is nothing else quick about him.
 You have seen a ball bound! We'll, when a toad is in a hurry he seems 10 bound like ball, for there is no pause between springs and he repeats his hops with such speed that he can cover twenty-four thousand feet an hour, which is faster than most peo- pie can walk
 How does Uncle Jed know? He would not have known had he not seen toad in such hurry early one summer evening. and he timed Mir. Bufo and then measured the distance he hopped in a few minutes; and it was at a rate exceeding four miles an hour.
 Uncle Jed never saw toad in a hurry but once, but he was so sur prised then that he took steps to dis cover the top speed ability of the toad, which he could only do by measuring. In that way he learned

A Huntinq Trio,

Dear Uncle Jed: On d dark Oc;o- per morning two figures, one q man and the other dog. were slowly tramping over the hills of Ashford. It was very foggy, almost raining. The air was damp and the ground was wet Not quail anywhere was to be seen or heard. Ravine after raYlne. bush after bush, all were hunted in vain Painting and tired, the dog kept up the hunt The quail were under clover and the moist ground concealed the scent. It was no use hunting, so rne hunter called the dog an1 they both rested
 Before an hour had passed, the fog, as if touched by the wand of d fairy, lifted. The sun came out and sent it's glowing rays upon the fatigued hunt CTS. It gave them new life and they both thought their days hunting was rot going to be in vain. Thus their rest was interrupted and the hunt re- Sumed
 vapor rose from the grounl, gcr- t:ans and asters lifted their heads and birds twittered in every bush and ey- anywhere signs of life were V1sit ie. The quail in hopes of enjoying the suns warmth came from tn ir hid ing places out into the open A noise. as if from quall m2de both dog and hunter start. The dog waited for the signal Col said the hunter
 Three successive shots brought down five birds. These the dog faithfully retrieved. So the morning passed Some birds were missed. others were | never found but on the whole the hunting was exceptionally good LOUISE K0YAROVICS.

The American Flaa.

The birthday Of the American flag was the 14th of June. 1771, when con gress resolved that the flag of the thirteen states shall be thirteen stripes alternate rel and white ard that the Union be thirteen stars, white, in a blue field.
 Following the adoption of the res- olution, Robert Morris, George Wash ington and Col. George Ross, were ap- pointed to have a flag made. Mrs. Bet sy Ross, who was an expert needle woman lived in Philadelphia and to her the three gentlemen went and asked her If she could make a flag.
 She was surprised, but invited them into the parlor. Washington pulled from his pocket a piece of paper from which he had made rough sketch of the design.
 Mrs. Ross begun the flag June 7th. The gentlemen were notified it was finished on June IA, TIT and congress accepted the flag.
 They decided that from and after July 4th, next, we should always. have twenty stars and thirteen aorizontal stripes.
