 Rose Raymond was a favotite child among the poor people of the town. Hqe parents had plenty of money and often gave her some.
 Day after day little Rose would go about the village. tenderly nursing the poor, sick people.
 These people were so wretched because they could not pay their debts and as the days went by, they grew worse and worse.
 An old woman, who Rose visited, had to support four children and crip- pied husband. She had no money to pay the doctors bills. This old woman was called "Old Hagar" because of her hag- gard appearance.
 When Rose went home she asked her father for ten dollars, which he readily gave her.
 The next day she started off with the money and basket filled with fruits, bread and butter.
 When she reached Old Hagar's house the woman was earning little money down street.
 Rose, noticing how cheerless the room looked, set about tidyins things up. Af- ter making the cripple comfortable she made little supper. By this. time Old Hagar reached home with her children running after her

Gored to Death by an Elephant.

Dear Uncle Jed: The following story
 is related by Charles Williams as an in- cident of Boer daring: "On New Years
 day g party of Boers became heated
 with liquor, when each began boastingly
 to tell of the feats of hardihood they had
 performed. One of them who had been
 great hunter of elephants, having kill ed in his day above forty of these ggau-
 tic animals laid wager that he would
 go into the forest and pluck three hairs
 out of an elephants tail. This feat he
 actually performed, and returned safely with the trophy to his comrades. But, not satisfied with this daring act, he laid another bet that he would go back and shoot the same animal on the instant. He went accordingly, approached the animal too Intentionally, when his first shot not proving effective the enraged animal rushed on him before he could re- load, or make his escape, and having l first thrust his tremendous tusk through | his body, trampled him to pieces. This is what men get when they are | boasting. JAMES McGRATH, Age F. | Yantic

My Pet Woodnhnsk.

Dear Uncle Jed: One day when my brother was coming home from Plainfield he saw four woodchucks. Three of them ran into the stone wall but the fourth he picked up, put into his pocket and brought home to me. I made a little hole in cork, inserted it in a small glass tube and put that into a bottle. I filled the bottle with milk. The woodchuek would take this in his paws, put it up to his mouth and drink the milk Then l would take him out to the clover patch and give him some clover. After letting him eat all the clover he wanted, put him back in the cage. One night when I got home from school l found him dead. FRED LESTER coNGDoN, Age 10. Moosup.

The Haunted House.

One day a party of schoolchildren having been let out early, went, with their teacher to the woods. Where shall we go? was the problem. One suggest ed, Lets go to Wigwam Rock An other said, Lets go to the haunted house. Finally they decided to go to the haunted house. This house had been standing for great many years. A photographer had lived in it and every one said that some strange pictures had been taken by him. On the walls were pictures of what some people called ghosts, and what others called persons dressed in white sheet.
 About five of the boys went on ahead and they planned many scares. When the rest came they started to roll iron bars around upstairs. The girls screamed and ran out But curiosity soon got the best of them, and they soon came back to investigate. In one room they found warning to beware signed by the ghost. In another they found an ol6 bed and as soon as they started to gc in it moved up and down. They ther 1 went upstairs. The five boys had hid den and now they began to groan. Thi. frightened them and they ran out ant didn't come back.

Everything was upset.

I felt as if l could cry my self. The housekeeper was away, and the new maid was helpless a sa blind kit ten. To make things worse, I just re- membered the party of a young lady to whom a present must be sent.

Flowerst'' I, exclaimed "Why didn't I think of it before? Why didn't I remember her admiration of our big garden?" While demonstrating with my self, I picked the most beautiful of the flowers, arranged them into a tasteful bouquet and placed them carefully in a box, such as the florists use Then, laying them upon the table, I telephoned messenger boy to carry them to her.
 After this was done, I sat down blssfully ignorant of Toddy's painful mishap. Just about an hour later, the bell rang and in came the young lady Hasn't there been some mistake ?'' Slle saio' as sHe HdnoeQ Ine the box. Wondering, l opened the box-and gaspedi

The Meadow Lark.

It is about time for most of our sum- mer birds to be travelling north and among them will be found the meadow lark.
 The meadow lark is seen most in the open fields and meadows of the country. Its back is little lighter brown than that of the sparrow it's breast is yellow with neat bib of black under the throat, and it's beak and legs are ex- eeedingly long for bird which is not very large.
 If you want to find a meadow lark's hest you must look for it on the ground It is usually in a small hollow in tht ground, with dome-shaped roof of driet grasses for protection. It is something of an adventure to find one of these era dies built for the comfort of the bab! tarks and is often found quite by acciden in crossing a field. 1 Besides the meadow lark's fine song, i is very useful in destroying harmful in sects in the garden, and is now protecte by law in many states. l HELEN coYL, Age 12. l Norwich.

The Wooden Legged Rooster.

Dear Uncle Jed: One day my grand father saw hen around the hen house and thought she had got out He went up to her, picked her up and there was a
 chicken under her. He put the hen in the coop and took the chicken into the house.
 They kept him until he was big enough
 to take care of himself and then put him
 in the hen house. He was so tame that
 he would follow them all around. and they
 eoui1 pick him up anywhere. This winter they kept him in the wood shed. One night he froze his foot and it became black and soon came off When it came off they put on wooden foot. Now he can walk pretty good. He goes out with the hens every day. He is be- tween five and six years old
 My grandfather says he wouldn't take | twenty-five dollars for him.
