My UnIueky Vacatian.

One day when I was at Woodstock spending my vacation with my moth CT and a little dog, went across the road after ball on the opposite side of the house, with the dog fol- lewing.
 This dog came from Florida. My mother brought him to me and he was three months old. It was a spitz and poodle and it's name was Dixie, be- cause it came from Dixie Land.
 This dog loved to play with auto mobile wheels. and just as went across the road an automobile came and the dog ran after it, but the big wheels ran over it's little neck.
 This ended my vacation at Wood stock.

The Golden Text.
Stonington

Fannie was just eight years old when her father and mother both died She was a very selfish and naughty little girl.
 When she was ten years old she was taken by a very kind old lady who did everything she could to please her.
 One Sunday little girl about Fan nie's age came to have her attend the Bible class. So Fannie started off just to please her little girl friend.
 She learned the Golden Text very well, and it never left her mind. 'Do unto others as you wish to be done by"
 The kind old lady found a great change in the little girl, and made it her place to take Fannie to Sunday school every Sunday.

The Patched Quilt

The diamond and the box patterns are the most attractive to use and they will be the closest imitation of the old fashioned quit, so scarce now, and so valuable. The diamond patch is made by first cutting a paper pat tern of geometric diamond figure the size that you wish. Then cut your cloth by this nattern in patches of con- trasting color. Plain blue and white, or checked gingham in blue and white, and pink and white will be pretty. Sew the diamonds together on the wrong side with small over and over stitches.
 The box pattern is made by com bining diamond patches in threes so as to make the geometric box figure. Then sew the boxes together as you did the diamonds.
 The guilt, plain lining first, then a layer of cotton batting, and last the patched top, is fastened to quitting frames. Then invite your girl friends to an old fashioned quilting bee, with biscuits, pie, and doughnuts for sup peri

Stitch chintz itl gay pattern so as te make a large, bag shaped covering the right size for your bed. Then stitch it on the machine up and down its length, leaving a space of about six inches between the rows. Gather all the soft, old material that you can find for strAing it, cotton, old stock ings, old linen, scraps of silk, or ravel- lings of yarn. An old sweater, ray- elled, is splendid.

Not a Pleasure Trip.

My trip to Hartford was not a pleasant trip. I went up to St. Francis hospital to get my tonsils and adnoids taken out. I went to the hos pital on Saturday and I was operated on Monday morning at o'clock and stayed there until Tuesday afternoon When my aunt came and took me over to her house on Sigourney street and liked it very much. only I could not go out.
 The hospital in Hartford is very nice and large.
 I would liked to have stayed at my aunt's house longer only I had to come back and % to school. I do not like to stay out of school.
 I am in the fourth grade and hope I will be able to go every day.

heavy as a basket ball.
 Set the posts i'll the ground or or the gym floor about g feet from each other. Stretch the net between them, the top of it level with the top of the posts. If you can't get a net, a rope stretched from the top of one post to another will do. Mark out your court about 25 feet wide by 50 feet long. A basket ball will do if the kind of ball described at3ve can not be had.
 The game can be played by any number of people from two to a dozen or more. The opposing teams are posted on opposite sides of the net. To start the game one person acts as server. The server places himself with one foot on the back line of the court away from the net and bats the ball over 1t with the palm of his hand. The players on the opposing side try to bat it back over the net. If 1t touches the ground before they can do so. it counts one score for the servers side. If they are able to knock 1t back then 1t IS up to the servers team to return 1t. If they are unable to do so and 1t touches the ground, 1t counts one score for the opposing side. When ever the ball touches the ground on ione side of the net 1t counts one score for the opposing side. The team which first makes a certain num- lber of points may be declared the wih, .ner, or the game may be played for . certain period of time the team mak- ing the greatest number of points 1T that time winning.
 Considerable science and team worl may be developed in knocking the bal from ore person to another on tn, same side until chance comes to ba :. it over the net into an open space no played by one of the opposing side.

democracy, as stable form of govern
ment as we know it, is possible only
with highly educated populations and
a large force of men who arg capable
of government. Few of the men who
compose these governments have had
any actual experience at governing
and their populations are woefully IL
literate.
'They will require a generation of
actual national life in peace to de-
velop free education and skill in gov
eminent.
Unless these countries have guild
ing hand and referee in their quarrels,
a court of appeals for their wrongs,
this Europe will go back to chaos
II there is such an institution, rep
resenting the public opinion of the
world, and able to exert its authority,
they will grow into stability. We can
not turn back now.
There is another point which also
needs emphasis. World treaties hith-
erto have always been based on the
theory of q balance of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
| the weaker, partly with a view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
! degree with view to maintaining oc-
| cupatiens and positions for the re-
dictionaries of the world.
1.-THE balance of power is born of
armies and navies, aristocracieS,
! autocracies, and reactionaries general
| ", who can find employment and
domination in these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for shorter or longer time, but
never more than generation.
America came forward with a new
idea, and we insisted upon its injec-
Luton into this peace conference We
claimeds that it was possible to set
up such piece of machinery with
such authority that the balance of
power could be abandoned as a relic
of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire construction of this treaty and
every word and line in it to bend to
this idea.
"Outside of the League of Nations
the treaty itself has many deficiencies.
1t represents compromises between
many men and between many selfish
interests, and these very compromises
and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations that have entered
upon its signature, and the very safety
of the treaty itself lies in court OF
appeal for the remedy Of wrongs in
| the treaty
