catehing woodcl.ueks and skunls..

Dear Uncle Jed: Last summer I set some traps for some fierce woodchucks After a few days I caught one After killed him I rave him to the dog. The dog would take him by the neck and shake him awfully.
 This fall l set some skunk traps in which l caught two skunks. One morn ing I sold them. set three more traps and l hope to catch some more sllunks
 This morning l went to my traps and one was down but nothing was in it. 1 nope l will get something in it tonight.
 There are different modes of trapping skunks One is the pen set. This is made with sticks, making the pen triangular in shape, and putting a trap in the point and some meat in the back, covered with leaves, to keep it from the crows. hawks and other birds.
 When a skunk is in 8 hole you can tell by three ways: (1) new dirt dug out in the late fall; CD by smelling; t3) by looking for long black hairs in holes Another place to set trap is in dry culvert. Put one trap in each end and a piece of meat in the middle of the culvert

The Lady of the Roses.

Dear Uncle Jed: Once s.upor:s a time there was a iady who loved roses. This lady was very rich and so she was able. to have all the roses she wanted. This lady had large gardens of every flower and color. But the garden of roses was the largest The odor often was all over the kingdom. It healed all the sick peo- pie of their sickness. This lady was good to the poor and always sent them roses and money. As she was saintly. she had the power to make the animals and fowl of the air understand her. One day she told frog to take special rose to a sick person. This rose had strange power when persons snelt 1t they were made well instantly. But every bios som that was broken off was replaced by another. !, These poor people always sent their sincere love but when the lady of the roses died. an awful change took place. There were plaques and floods and devastation come over the land. Un- til they thought what to do. such as build the lady monument. these tsr- rible things fell upon them. So they erect ed a monument to her and calledit The Lady of the sRoses.''

That nIxsterions nh.ent.

Dear Uncle Jed It was the day before Christmas and, of course, everyone was on tiDtoe of expectation. Bundles tied with red green and gold twine flashed here and there; looks and smiles fraught with unilistakable meaning passed be- tween the older inmates of the Holmes house. In view of these facts, who could help being curious?
 Matters continued in this way all day until tine fateful Christmas eve arrived The two children. Mary and Elsie, were trundled off to bed at o'clock, although their s.ee1 was by TO means 1estful for visic-s ofSSanta Claus and elrlstmas
 rees flashed through their mint-.
 Christmas morning dawned bright and clear and with cry of joy Mary and Elsie tunce1 cut of bed, dressed and made their way to the living room. Oh! what q sight! Packages in prcfusion covered the base e the tree. z one cor her Of the room rested a large object, cov- red with a white sheet bearing these words: Do not touch"
 After breakfast was eaten, the family retired to the enchanted room, as Mary called it. to view the presents not yet seen.
 What do you suppose it was? The children had reached their highest pitch of excitement. The corner enclosed a grand upright piano,
 'Hurrah for Christmas !" cried Mary and Elsie as they joined hands and danced Jig in the middle of the floor. : HELEN EVELYN CAMPBELL, Age IA. Norwich

The Pilgrims.

Dear Uncle Jed: The king of England wanted all the people to go to his church. There were many people who did not like it's forms and ceremonies. They were Puritans because they wished to purify the church. There was another class of people who wished to establish church and leave the English chu % They were called Separatists.
 In small village named Scrooby the people tried to establish such church. They were spoken of as rebels and they were hunted down and thrown into pris- on. Some of them escaped. In 1908 they managed to go to Holland.
 They stayed in Holland 12 years. They were dissatisfied becauss their children were growing up and speaking Dutch. They. wished to mako homes in the new world, to establish free government and religion. They were then called Pilgrims
 because they wandered around. The Pil.
 grims were poor, but they were ready tc protect their religion.
 After getting money on hard terms they started from Plymouth, England, or the Mayflower and the Speedwell. The Speedwell had a leak and had to return The Mayfower with 100 people started of alone.
 After 3 stormy voyage, they anchored in Cape Cod bay, November 1920. They thought it not a good place for settle ment. They sailed across the bay 10 wha
 was afterwards called Plymouth. In the winter half of their number were dead but they would not go back tC England. They were good friends of th' l Indians.

In tbe Mnldle Arcs

Dear Uncle Jed; All boys and girls during the middle ages did not go to school. Schools were principally for those who expected to become priests or monks. The schools were in the monasteries or houses of the bishops They were taught little Latin, gram man and enough astronomy so as to reckon the day on which the festivals of the church should come. Text books or manuscripts were costly so but few people could buy them. So they watch ed the teachers as they read from their manuscripts Npr copied something down or tried to remember them.
 If they stayed in school after these things had been learned they studied the lows of the Romans or studied about medicine. Some of the teachers talked so interesting that hundreds of students came to listen.
 The teachers taught in hired halls. The students boarded wherever they could find lodgings. To help the stu dents who were too poor to pay for good lodgings coll 4 were built These colleges were sin. houses for resi- dence, but later some teaching was done in them.
