Prof. Salwick said nothing more

For I could sit upon the sand,
And hear the waves beat on the
land;
And ! could hear the autumn leaves
Rushing of the tossing trees
Could hear q hundred voices clear,
Singing in my eager ear;
Bees a-hummlng, Larks a-crying,
Robins chipping, breezes signing.
With all these things to gladden. me,
Could l then but happy be?
And / would hold this world still

II l could see-but could not hear;
For l would open my eyes and see
A thousand blossoms on the tree;
Could see the country green and
bright.
And watch the hills grow dark at
night,
And all the gayly painted flowers
Would color long and quiet hours.
Roses, lilacs, wild flowers too,
Daisies, violets, deep and blue,
With all these lovely things to see,
How could l then but happy be?
But can hear the lark's sweet trill.
Can see the violet studded hill,
How can my heart but happy be
With all the Joy God gives to me?

nay DEAR Cousin Riddles: feel
W as IL 1 had travelled all over
the world and seen. wondrous
sights these two days. For l have
read all Of the contest essays and II
seems as though I had taken all the
hikes in company with you. With
some I have climbed nIsuntains and
looked with wonder upon the beauti-
full valleys and streams, forests and
farms below; with others I have ex-
plored haunted houses, feeling awed
but loving the adventure. We have
picnicked on the Isle Of Man where II
lies anchored just off the coast OF
England, while with still another
cousin have been way down in Ala
bama. Together we have picked IVio-
let's and daisies and luscious black
berries, found numerous turtles
snakes, birds, dogs and goats ano
bought ice cream soda and candy
That was in summer. In the winter
we had snow fights.
The girl cousins have learned to
enjoy regular cross-country hikes as
well as the boys, who are ever ready
to pack their knapsacks, put on rough
clothes and start out through rain OF
sunshine for a trip In the open. Like
the girls they have told Of their ex-
periences most entertainingly.
After reading the essays seVera
times and comparing them and cogi
tating and thinking, l decided thai
the following Riddles were deserving
OF the awards. Let's give three cheers

MY DEAR COUSIN ELEANOR: It
IVA has been 80 long since have
written for the Kiddle Klub that |
feel under obligation to write this
letter TO show my appreciation of be-
longing to our Kltfb.
1 am now fifteen years OF age and
nave only one more glorious year to
belong to this TSIub.
AS you know from Gladys Hadden's
letter, Stony Brook Is not very large,
but coy. In winter we have lots OF
fun here consting, sliding and ski
ing. 1 like them all, especially skat-
ing.
Soon there will be bathing here.
we have two large bathing beach 20
and few small ones. A few sum
mers ago, when the sharks were quite
numerous, they caught some on one of
our large bathing beaches which we
call the dock. There is a pavilion
on this dock which Is quite large.
Quite few years ago steamers used
70 come into the dock and go down
to the ,grist mill and unload there. but
now 1t is dried up some and no steam
ers can pass. They are thinking OF
digging 1t out. Then this would be
more Of a business place. In Stony
Brook there Is also a lumber mill. II
In nice to have such things in such
a small town. When the war was on
we had many boys go as soldiers and
sailors, but they all came back safe
and sound. Some were wounded, but
not severely. Your Cousin,
