Likes the Winter Sports.

How many Of the Wide -Awakes have enjoyed this stormy weather as well as did? It is fine in some ways First of all, this is the first winter that I've enjoyed real sliding for winters before we didn't get but few slides be- cause there was no snow. But this winter! Oh, myi We have had some for all kind of sports, snow banks. snow forts, snow men, and slides. Yes, Kelly slides.
 And what enjoyed the most was feeding some of those hungry birds. Sister and threw some crumbs on our back porch. and in a short time some of the birds would come and have a hearty meal. One morning. to our great surprise. MT Gentleman Bluejay came and had a1feast with the sparrows. an unusual thing for d bird of its kind. But little do I blame him. for he is a beauty.
 We saw different kinds of them, and although our mailman couldn't get here on account of the stormy weather those birds gave us the same plea sure every day since. Hope all the Wide Awakes will be kind to all the poor, hungry birds.

The snap-up
BY B. D. ANGEIL

"Wken an ordinary person sitting down wants to get up, he turns half over and chambers to his feet. A clown does Snap-Up," said Reppc
 This is the way to do if: 1 start from sitting pcsition-I roll back onto my neck putting my hands on the mat close to my head-my weight is resting on my shoulders, neck. and hands-my legs are we'll sFer-now-- with a quick, hard lift from Hsy neck and hands l lift my body of the mat and at the same time throw my feet forward and bend my knees. Now watch-l roll haek-I push hard from hands and shoulders and here am on ny feet.'
 The boys tried the trick. Ralph did not tuck his feet far enough under and when he banged on the mat he feti the jar from lip to toe, Allen did nol get far enough Up on. his neck and shoulders before giving the push that should land him on li;s feet and Beppo urged him to throw out his chest and put more power in his push.
 After half hour of practice, Bepre advised them never 10 practice tricks wheri they were tired CT sever to con, tlnue until they were all in" Even circus aerobats could not do vel when "peplcss."
 Before they started for home, he showed them some combinations. The first was Roli-Over and Snap-Us. He ran to the inat--did a pretty roll then fell back to a sitting position and without breaking the motion rolled back on to his neck and hands and from there did snap-up, and as soon as he landed did another Roll-O Over,

A Visit in st. Auuustins.

When we were in Florida we de- eided to come home by the way of St. Augustine.
 When we arrived at Palatka we found that we could make better con- nections by having an auto take us to East Palatka. ! In doing so we had to cross the St. Johns river, which we found very wide. We found it to be a toll bridge with .the charge of a quarter.
 We reached St. Augustine during a heavy thunderstorm. A carriage took us to our hotel, and soon the sun came out, and we walked over to Fort Marion. and went all through it. There are many. old relics kept there. We entered through a secret door, into a dark dungeon, used by the Spaniards.
 One day we went out on the beach and gathered many beautiful shells on the white sand. Near there was a place where alligators, crocodiles different kinds of snakes were kept. They also had variety of articles for sale, made from alligator and rattlesnake skins.
 St. Augustine has many beautiful hotels, and some Of the old streets are so narrow that it would be i'm l. possible for two teams to pass >ea oh other. We thought the people must think all tourists had plenty of mon ey as an admission fee was charged to nearly all places of interest.

Winter Snorta.

Of all winter sports. who could re- sfst skating. What fun we do have as we speed over the smooth, glassy ice! How timel does, pass when we are enjoying this wholesome frolic! Nearly every afternoon. after school we come home, get our skates and start off for 2 little pond. which is not far from the house. We skate Unt'l it is nearly sutAer time and then go home, rosy -cheeked and happy.
 Other afternoons we get cur sleds which are flexible flyers, and go out to enjoy coasting down a long, rather steep and slippery hill. We also have large sled which holds three and we start at the top and go flying down the hill, going out almost to the end of the street. Sometimes the slide is not so exceedingly wonderful and often ends with a tumble in the snow which doesn't bother us at all, but on the contrary, we rather like it.
 Oh. the joys of q New England winter!

Our Audubon Society.

Our Aaduhon society was formed a year ago this March. There were then fifteen members. It was again formed last September and there were thirteen members. When we join each member sends ten cents to Miss Hurd of Norwalk. Tn return she sends us ten sets of bird pictures, and also an Aubudon Society button. We hold bird Esstings the last Fri day of every month. At these meet ings we discuss the new birds we have seen during the month, play bird games and instruct the children how
 to feed and care for the birds. The following are the names of the officers: Emmett Lamb, president; Roger Miner, secretary, and Miss A. B. Duerr. treasurer.
 Since joined this society the birds have become my friends. 1 feeT, care and protect them as much as possi- hle. I have learned the names of many different birds, too. I also have learned when they fly north, when how. and where they build their nests and when they lay their eggs Before joined this society knew very little about the birds, I didn't know many of their names and ]
 never paid much attention to them Now am as interested in this sub leet as any other we take up at the school.

All tbese dazzling fields of snow Throurh the hands of God must flow, Every flake, so fair and light. Could not else be purely white. When at night in skies of blue Burning stars come trembling through They would seem of pearly white, But they shine behind the night. When at first our hearts were given, fhey came down to us from heaven We must keep them in His sight kz He sent them, pure and white. Icy snow and silver star Fail and hang from skies afar, Whence these crystals in the night, Telling God himself is white
