The AnaeI of Peace.

There was little girl who dreamed
about an angel.
One night after Ruth's mother had
put her to bed and she had kissed her
mother good night and said her pray
ers, it was not long after that she fell
asleep and soon was dreaming of beau
tiful things. This dream was very
funny one.
She dreamed that an angel came
down to where she lay and carried her
to heaven. where she thought she
would see her mother no more.
When the gates of heaven closed the
angel asked Ruth who she would like
| to visit.
Ruth did not give any answer.
There were two roads-one leading
The right one was noisy, and the left
one was still and nice.
! The angel asked Ruth which one she
would like to visit, and Ruth said 1.-THE
left one"
The angel led her to the left one.
AT first Ruth liked it, but as they
stayed longer she began to cry wher
she saw the Queen of Disobedience
coming to love her.
Ruth held her arms out to the Ange
of Peace and asked if she might see
the right road. which was Obedience
She liked that much better than thai
of Disobedience. She liked the people
because there was no carelessness ant
ilazineSs.
AS she dreamed the last of it she
heard her mother say: 1T is time t
get up, Ruth

The Redstart.

I have noticed that many people are
fond of birds. l am going to tell you
about one bird that not all people
know about, and the name of this bird
is redstart.
The Redstart is a small bird about
three and three quarters inches long,
but by its song and activity it keeps
itself much more in evidence than
many a bird twice the size.
The song that it sings is Ching
Ching, Chez; service. swee-sw-e-e,
while with his wings and tail out
spread he whirls about, dancing from
limb to limb, darting upward and
floating downward.
Its nest is made Of leafstalks. thir
strips of bark, plant down. usually
lined with fine rootlets or tendrils. It's
nest is usually found about Is or q
feet from the ground. The eggs are
four or five in number and are white
blotched and spotted with brown anc
gray.
The redstart is a beautiful. attrac-
tive and exceedingly useful bird and
catches many bugs, moths, flies, grass
hoppers and beetles.
Its color is lustrous black, with or
ange patches on its wings, and also
tail.

England was in great sorrow over,
for it was her most precious and ia
vorite ring.
Tom was very nervous for he had
never been before the king or queen
before. He walked slowly up to the
throne where the queen sat- bowed
and handed her the ring.
With her hand she gently stroked
his hair and said. Thank you, my
boy I will see that you are paid for
this" and, bidding her good bye. he
quietly walked away.
When he got home he told his mo-
/ Their the tale, and went to bed, Won
dering how the queen could ever pay
him for such deed.
The next morning he heard the
sound of bugles and the clatter oil
horses hoofs. then the bell rang and
who entered but the royal herald with
belt of gold for Tom. A light fell
in his eyes and he jumped out of bed
and it was all dream.

There was once a statue of justice
that stood in the public square of an

scales and in its right it held a

The birds built their nests in the
scales of the balance.
In the course of time the laws OF
the land were corrupted. The weak

was very disorderly Icy
1t CHANGED that in a palace a neck
lace of pearls had been lost A sus-

was maid of the household. She was
tried and was condemned to die on the
scaffold. She met her fate at the foot
of the statue where her innocent
spirit assembled above.
Suddenly thunder storm arose AMI

was found the nest of a maybe intz
which the necklace of pearls were
woven into its clay-built sides.

Doing Things Right.

Our Mary Ann is very good
And tries to mind her mother,
But sometimes she forgets herself
And leases little brother.
Our Jamie never tidied up
And put his toys away,
And mother had to tell him to
Most every single day.
Now everything is in it's place
And Jamie keeps it there.
And Mary Ann treats brother dear
With Just the greatest care.
For they know it's worth their while
To earn some stamps at night,
And they may only merit them
BY doing these things right.

s., My first trip to Mohegan Park was
taken last summer in the latter part
Of August. We went in an automo-
bile and started from Preston At
about half past ten or eleven o'clock in
the morning. and reached the park
about twelve o'clock.
Soon after we got there we ate our
dinner and then all the girls that went
from here, including myself. played on
the see saws and swings. We alsN
watched the different animals and
birds, but we found the monkeys the
most interesting to watch Of all. There
were two monkeys in a cage and
some people brought nuts and can
dies for them to eat.
We had more fun that day watch
ing the monkeys fight over the can
dy and nuts than anything else.
We left the park between five ana
six and got home about seven o'clock
We were very tired when we reached
home and almost ready for bed.
I hope I can go again this summer
and have as good a time as l has

for the baby was going to sleep
