UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKE5

Do you know that one of. the best endeavors of any boy or girl is to win the good opinion Of their parents and other people,
 IL is great to behave so well and so honest that people can rely upon you. This may be done by being pleasant and kindly and showing a disposition 10 be useful 10 others
 You cannot be useful to others with out making them useful to you. for you win their good will and the good word which is always a-heIp to young people
 IL IS worth a good deal to have some one speak well Of you; but it is worth mere 10 have your character and your york commend you.
 Respond cheerfulIy when people need your assistance: be painstaking and diiiEent when anyone wants you to work
 The bad character among young people is the one who is negligent and siouchy and cannot be depended upon.
 Do not be slow when people expect you to be quick3 do not be late when you are expected to act by the clock. Do not sneak off to play when your parents think you are at work Do not disappoint people who are depend- ing upon you, e.-
 Boys and girls are building their character by doing little things right and the character they build is help or 2 hindrance 10 them, as long as tfAy live
 A little thing. Drdmptly and cor rsctIy done has been the making of many a man; and little thing badly done has kept man poor as long as he lived.
 These little things which seem of httle Importance are the things which I make the way easy for many people. THE WINNERS OF PRIZE BOOKS. Emma Adamec of West Willing tou-Camp Fire Girls in the Maine Woods
