The old Fashioned House.

Dear Uncle Jed It was an old fash toned house A house with it's many gables as houses had in the olden times. Upon seeing it for the first time, I had great desire to enter 1t. but with the house was a mystery which kept people from entering it. The mystery was that at night light could be seen fitting around from room to room, and people said it was the ghost of the dead owner. Another story was that every night relative of the dead man was missing and that fact people associated with the other, saying that he went to communi- cate with the ghost So with this mys- tery hanging ove- it no one dared enter the house until one day party of ven- turesome boys decided to enter it that night.
 Night came and they were hiding near it. When the light appeared they softly crept into the house and following the l light suddenly came upon it in a small room at the back of the house. Here they saw a strange sight The relative was on his knees. digging under thG boards. The boys caught him and asked
 him what he was doing. He replied that
 he was searching for a treasure whicl the dead owner had talked about durini his last moments. So with this fact end the mystery Of the old fashioned house MARCIA C. STANTON. Age F.

A Stormy Day.

Dear Uncle Jed: It was dreary look ing day in November. The clouds over head from early morn until nearly noon world. It seemed as if only the dark, disagreeable clouds were abroad to the poor old man plodding along the state road between J. and G. As he looked above he nurmured to himself: wen see rain before nightfan. Please God, let me reach G. before it commences. I must be there tonight
 Hardly had he 50 spoken when with a crash the rain came down in torrents The lone traveller managed to secure shelter underneath the roots of large, upturned tree. From his point of van tage he gazed upon the works of the Lord with amazement mingled with fear.
 What power the God above does pos seses," he thought. Everything does His bidding. But oh wish I could reach C.
 For few minutes he sat huddied up in his place of safety and watched the storm. As the storm finally departed and l the sky began to clear, he saw one of the 1 most beautiful sights he had ever seen | The sky became tinted with many hues- i red, orange, pink. purple and yellow. The l fields looked golden with the tall, dry grass waving in the gentle breeze. After | remaining a little longer to reveI in the i beauties and glories of the Lord, the man started again upon his long journey with
 a prayer upon his lips.

TnsAhshnMa.

Dear Uncle Jed? What does "selhsh." and "unselfsh" mean?' There is great difference between these two words The first means to be unkind. and to care only for one's self Now let Us knoT what unsetfshness means IL means to be k.nd. to do favors for some one else to he generous. noble and brave Wouldn't f you like 10 be unselfsh? Yes, I am sure you would.
 I am sure you si1 want to be unseIhsh. so I will tell you some ways you can he u7selfsh. And when you have finish ed reading them. just try them and see for yourselves how everyone will love you. Yes. I am sure you all love your parents, relatives and friends, so won't you try 10 Vc unselfish. too?
 Now, why not try to be kind to every one. and rot make much trouble? How every one would love you, if you would only be like that! You can help your mother in the house, and then she will , always think how g&od my daughter is She never complains of the work I give her to do. and then your mother wonders of there is another girl in all the world | like her own.
 When the boys help their father. and
 obey him, just think with how n1ucl pride he thinks of his boy, who is SC good
 We should always remember our
 friends when they are in trouble It neve, does anyone harm to do a good decd Now won't you all try to be useful ani help others? Please do. l PAULINE EISENSTEIN, Ags l2. | Colchester.

My Visit to Hnlvo&e.

Dear Uncle Jed As I am nitting down thinking of my visit to. Holyoke last sum mer. I thought I would wrMe and tell you about it.
 I spent a month there with my amt and of course you can imagine. She took me to the pictures every Saturday.
 also visited Mount Tom. It's very nice place. I wish All little girls could Visit it. I'm sure they would enjoy it so
 My aunt had only one little baby boy five years old. So that made it nice for me. Because I have a little brother of the same age and same pame.
 One day my aunt sent me to the store. What do you suppose met on my way? My aunt had told me to come right home. But could not help stopping when I saw two little boys coming. One seemed happy, and the other was crying, So I said, What is the matter little boy ?'' He was crying because the other had five cents and said he had never had five cents.
 So took i've cents from my aunt's change. He thanked me and ran off to the store.
 When I reached my aunts home she counted her change. And said. 'Rhea, where is the other nickelg' I was so glad that I made that little boy happy started to cry. But when she found out my story she kissed me and said You are a dear little girl. and l wish all little children were like you" RHEA BLAIN, Age II.

JeItn GreenIeaf Whftsasr.

Dear Uncle Jed: John Greenleaf Whit tier was born in East Haverhill, Mass, Dec. r, 1907. Greenleaf helped his fa- ther on the farm until he was eighteen At seventeen he obtained his fathers consent to go to the academy at Haver- hill As his father was too poor to pay his tuition he had to earn the money himself. He did this the first term by making shoes, the second by teaching school. About this time his first poems were published in a local newspaper
 WhittieSs first paper The American Manufacturer, was published in Boston in 1929. Shortly after this he went to Hartford, Conn, where he published The New England Review. He was an en- thusiast1c anti-slavery man and wrote many poems in behalf of the slaves. Among his longest poems are Snow Bound, The Bridal of Pennsylvania, Ha- gel Blossoms and Among the Hills
 Whittier was of Quaker patronage and always remained faithful to his creed.
 He was not very strong and during the latter part of his life he was unable to write more than one-half hour without resting. On account of his failing heaNh he went back to the farm.
 Later he moved to ,Ameabury where he died fn 1892.

My Fnr faith.

Dear Uncle Jed I thought I would write to you about my good fur catch I had this season I started N~-. 1st with dozen tra3s. I went un the brook to set traps for nuskrats and set four traps. I used sweet apple for bait Then l started over to climb the hill to look for skunk den. I found one hole on the side of the hill and two by the stone wall. Then I started for home, because it was pretty dark
 Next morning I started to go to my traps. The first trap was sprung and nothing in it. In the next one there was great big muskrat I shot it through the head with little .22 rife I only had one muskrat.
 Then I went over to my skunk tran and there was a big black skunk in it. Phew! didn't it smell! I sho1 it the same way as the muskrat At the next trap there was little small skunk Then I went home and my father and mother were surprised at what a nice little catch I had out of five traps. I will ! write some mere when I get a chance. ARYI LYBECK. Age F.

Riding My Horse to the vmaxs.

Dear Uncle Jed: On January 24, 1913, three years ago thought I would take ride on a horse down to small village near which I used to live. So put the bridle on the horse. I did not have any saddle, SO I had to ride bareback. Then backed the horse out of the barn and started off. The horse was all white and the snow was white and slippery. When I was riding at good speed and just going to turn around the corner my horse slipped. I thought that she had broken her leg but she didn't got off and looked her all over to see if she was hurt anywhere, but she wasn't, and I was lucky.
 When I was standing by her thinking of way to get on. little boy about seven came around the corner and asked = why I didn't get on and ride' told him that I couldn't get on her because sine was too. tan. lt t' I asked him for some assistance sc l he bent down and I got on his back and 1 hopped on the horse, and the horse start
 ed off on gallop. just waved my ha 1 and called out.
