from these gossips. There is seldom a
week that passes without some false

often hurts persons feelings and
character and sometimes Injuries bust,

A false report often starts with a
Jest--it might have been taken as true
or overheard by someone. Then it be-

by every person who repeats it.
Many an untrue things is said

town.

Decoration DaY.

Two of my friends and I went to
visit the cemetery Decoration day. All
the graves were decorated with pretty
flowers.
We saw many graves of old veter-
ans There were flags on every dead
soldiers grave.
AS we walked further on we saw the
graves of our friends who died during
the past year. 1t makes us sad TO
think that they are out i'll all the fierce
storms and in the cold snow.
We walked to a grave where pretty
green moss was clinging to the grave
stone How pretty it was. This grave
must have been there many years ago.
AS we continued our walk we came
to a gravestone where a large rose
bush was planted. The roses were all
in bloom.
We came to another grave where the
monument was fixed like q table and
under this monument birds were build
ing their summer homes. We were
much interested in this sight
As We walked on we came to a large
lot fenced all around where nine of
the same family were buried.
The Boy Scouts and ali the soldier
and sailors. tho Red Cross women, etc,
paraded to the cemetery and put f1a gs
on all the soldiers graves and the
band played The Star Spangled Ban
ner.
Then we all went home.

to gathering crumbs and cheese and
corn, and everything that they liked

So all the jobs around the house fell
upon Mrs. Grayfur and her children.
When Mrs. Grayfur had finished the

why Tippy could hide himself right
in the pile, so that you couldn't see
any of him at ell.
Now it was only two days before
they would be having the good time,
so Mrs. Grayfur started to jump
around for joy.
She invited every mouse family that
she knew of and even the ones that
lived a mile away.
She began to. wash all her soiled
clothes, also those of Mr.. Grayfur and

Mr.. Grayfur came that night to see
his dear wife and children. but when
he came in he was surprised TO find it
Everything and everybody was

The Little Chimney Sweeps.

In the days when boys were en-
ployed to climb and sweep chimneys
there lived in France master-sweep
named Verne who used boys in this
way. Verne was very hard-hearted
and did not overfeed his boys.
At the time of our story Verne
hired two boys. Charles, aged II years,
and Johnny, aged 9 years Charlie,
who was the oldest was supposed to
look after Johnny and keep him to
work.
One winter morning the boys awoke
to find the world in whiteness. There
had been a heavy fall of snow during
the night and in the morning had
come a frost and the snow was very
slippery. Verne came to the barn te
arouse the boys.
Get up. sluggards!'' he said, there
are ten chimneys to be swept at tn"

the top of his fifth, but Charlie had
only reached the top of his fourth.
Johnny, perthed on the corner of his
chimney began to sing cheerfully.
This exasperated Charlie. I'll soon

exclaimed, they can hear lit down

He would have slid to the. street had
it not been for some loose shingles, al
which he. cautiously held. He tried tc
climb up, but the shingles gave way
beneath his hands.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE,
AWAKES.

Look out for your "don't-want-t o's!7
Some boys and girls don't want to so

rands." Don't want to help Pa or Ma
about the place. or house" or Don't
want 70 go TO bed" at the hour when
children should go to be well and
strong and happy.
Don't want to- first grows into a
bad habit Of thought. and finally be-
comes confirmed laziness.
II boys and girls understood they
would want 10 help others all they
could, because that is really the way
to success. Willingness is the path
way to the high road which leads to
good conditions and well-being for
life.
There is no excuse for Il don't want
TO-" for If one is sick they want TO, but
80 not feel able.
This Il don't want to" is first cou-
sin to Il don't care" and they are
both mean. because they represent
thoughtlessness. we must all have a
care because it is necessary for our
own safety.
