Dandelioning.

Tom and I left the house at 10 o'clock in the morning on beautiful June day. It was Saturday, so we made up our mind to go dandelioning and stay out all day
 We took our lunch and six baskets We followed the road to the woods, where we started to work
 At 12 o'clock we had all the baskets filled and started for the city (hiding our lunch in the bushes), where he determined to sell them
 The first six houses we went to bought them all and we got an income of $250.
 We divided the money, getting each SIPS. I went into a bakers shop and bought a half dozen doughnuts for d0 cents worth of candy, two bottles of soda Tor, buying two ice cream cones and 15 cents worth of candy, two bottle sof soda water, and spending 50 cents for all the things we bought. or 25 cents apiece.
 We then went back to the woods and ate our lunch, which tasted very goods After an hours rest we started to work again.
 Filling our baskets, we started back to the city again, selling our dandelions for s2.5o.
 Our fathers promised us 10 cents for every dollars worth we sold so Tom got 25 cents and did also.
 We then had s25O each. It was the biggest day we had that year, and dur ing the whole year made Sf0.e1.

The Triumph of Faith.

Patricia was sitting on the sand after her first attempt to swim Father him self had said she got on beautifully and as she sat on the sand she kept hoping that some time her turn would come to show her skill.
 As she turned her head toward the blue water. Patricia's eyes met sight that spread a wave of terror through her. There walking up the springboard was little Joseph, Patricia's small broth CT, just three years old. Little Joe, of course, did not know how to swim. Patri- cia forgot how deep the water was, she forgot she could not swim well; her only thought was for her brother. She was in the water in a moment swimming af- ter her brother. She caught him just ae he was sinking, and, with her arm around him was trying to reach the shore. Her strength was giving out and she felt herself gradually getting faint CT and fainter, but she had faith in her swimming, and was determined to save her brother. As she was almost sinking she left strong arm about her and she knew her father held her safe. Then she lost consciousness and everything was dark.
 The next thing she knew she was sit ting in an armchair with brother right lear asking for more of dat milk toast"

The School Picnic.

Dear Uncle Jed: At the close of school each year the different rooms go on picnic Our room was planning to go to Yawgoo pond We knew what to bring and we had already hired the truck to carry US. But when we awoke on Thursday morning it was raining, great to our disappointment
 When we went to school after our pro- motion cards. the teacher decided to have the picnic in the large assembly hall
 None of us had brought the things for things for the lunch because We did not suppose we would have the picnic So we all went home and got them
 When they were all back we began to play games. We played Winkum An going to Jerusalem, and tricks like talk ing pictures in a teaspoon, picking out the different books and thinking of an object in the room and the person outside guesses what it is.
 After we had finished playing games, we had lunch. It consisted of sandwich es, pickles. olives, cake. oranges, bananas, candy and lemonade.
 The janitor of the school house got tir- ed of waiting for us, as he thought he must do, then he went home right after we had cleaned up the things after eat ing. But we had as good picnic as we could have had out of doors.

Shore Line electric railway leaving Put nam center at ? o'clock jumped the tracF on upper School street at the fork in the road near the Prentiss icehouse. The car left the rails on the bridge over the brook running into Leonard pond and shot di- rectly across the highway at right angles to the tracks. The rear truck remained on the irons, while the front end of the car wedged in against the side of the bridge, blocking all travel both on the trolley line and on the state highway. There were only two passengers on the car at the time and neither was in any way injured. A call was sent to the Dayville carbarn fnr the wrecking crew and in about an h 2 after it's arrival the car was back on rails and the line was again on regular schedule.
