The FalmiIl Pond.

Dear Uncle Jed: Last summer l went down to the pond. The sun sllone bright ly upon its waters, making it look like gold. The trees, which clustered around it's edges, were dressed in their summer gafb Of green.
 It was a. very warm afternoon, so I climbed into a tree overhanging the wa ter where I watched the birds fitting Tn and out among tho bushes, and the gray squirrels sefafnbling up the tree trunks. Around the trees grew little forget-ue- nots and vielets which could be seen to lift then pretty faces up to the bright sun
 Dusk then gradually settled over this beautiful scene. I then went home, hay ing spent a very interesting afternoon studying nature.

The Greedy Boy.

Dear Uncle Jed: One day a. boy started to go after berries. On the way he found five dollars. This was the first time he had ever found money, so, finding this he sat down his pail and began hunting for more, but did not find any. Then fe took up his pail and started for home. On the way he met two boys and told them that he had found some money. but he said he wanted to find more. The boys said, Put your money under this stone and when you come back this afternoon you will find two times as much" So feolts1ly. he did this, and went to his friends house nearby. In the afternoon he came back for his money. but did not find any. The boys had taken it. so he went dragging home with no money and an empty pail.

UNCLE JEDs TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAKEs

Every week brings the anniversary of
 some important event those Of you Hllc
 are students Of history or are familiar with the stirring events in the early days
 of this republic will recall that tomorrow is the anniversary Of that Inspiring ride that was made by Paul Revere the anes- senger of the revolution who told the countryside far and near the information that the British were coming and pre- pairing the patriots for the early struggles Of that great war.
 The midnight ride of Paul Rsvefe is a story that is often told but it never grows
 tiresotne either in poetry or prose But while you may know about his fide you
 may not Know much aibesat Revere him self He was a native of Boston, where
 he was born in 1734 and learned the trade of a gold and silversnith from
 his father. He was a lover Of horses and horsebacil riding and having acted as messenger on many occasions for the 1 Colonial gevernneRt and going on long
 trips to New York and Philadelphia horse l back because there were no railroads in
 those days, he was just the one for that
 soul stirring ride Of April IS, 1775. Paul
 Revere got his signal from the church | tower which gave him the long waited ia-
 formation that made it possible to prevent
 the surprise attack planned by the Brit 1 ish.
 l Paul Revere was 10 years old at the l time he made that ride. He was q
 thorough patriot in time of peace or war 1 and he lived many years after to enjoy { the benefits of the country for which he 1 was willing to make any sarrifee. It
 was 147 years ago tomorrow that Paul Revere figured so eohHpetuously in that ride to Lexington and Concord. He was I>83 years of age at the time Of his death in ISIS. He was 3 descendant of French Hugenots and because of his ride made 1 himself one of the prominent heroic Iig- ures of the carly days of the Revolution
 ary war. Revere's act shows what preaar-
 edness will do in accomplishing any small as well as B great or important service.

 They cheered for the soldiers in bristling review,
 With their buttons and knapsaeiss and guns,
 There were wives who postponed the last cheerful adieu And mothers who wept for their sons. There were kisses and cheers for the brave volunteers
 And praise freua the flag waving fhreAg, But who ih the groups cheered the four legged troops? For the horses were going along.
 Oh. yes, for the horses were going along. And proudly they praneed in fevis~, The laigll-steI9ping bay and the feaR and the gray,
 Their brides all s!liny and new.
 They didn't know when they would charge with the men,
 Or what they were EaafrSfng for,
 They didn't know why they were hearing Goodbye" But the horses were going to war.
 No apaulets gleaiasd on the trapping they wore,
 Each horse ranked as hleh as the rest But true to the trust of the Soldier he bore Each charger was giving his best, i True friends to the flertals who watched thenn go by, Light stepping and willing and strong. 1 Their hearts beating proudly, tFeAr heads carried high.
