To a Little Girl
UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
AWAKEs

AWAKEs
Many, If not all the WideaWakes have
been reading or hearing about General
Ulysses S. Grant. the great Civil war
leader and afterwards president Of the
United States, the Tooth anniversary of
whose birth was observed last week,
General Grant owed much of his sue
cess in the war to the fact that he was
always at work. That seems to have been
characteristic Of him from boyhood He
knew what hard work meant and he like
wise understood the value of it, Grants
early days we're spent on a farm and he
had the same experience as other boys
with nicknames There were those who
were determined to call him Useless
Grant, but nothing of the kind ever came
to the mind of his soldiers. It was I'm
conditional Surrender that they termed
him.
Like many another boy then and today,
Grant found out what it meant to live on a
farm. He was able at the age of eleven
to hold a plow and from that age till
he was seventeen he did all such with
horses as breaking UP the land, furrowing,
blowing corn and potatoes. bringing in
the crop when harvested, hauling all the
wood besides tending two or more hors-
es, a COW or two and saving the stove
wood.
He was like other boys in that all
work and no play was distasteful. He
liked to f9h and he liked to swim He
was also fond Of skating and sleighing,
but he never cared for hunting. He
never hunted in his life and never used
firearms for amusement He couldn't en-
tertain the idea of killing anything.
He had horse of his own when he
was nine and had an eye to making money
by driving into the country these ar
irving by stage and seeking some con
veyance for reaching their destination
And these trips were not over macad
am roads or for short distances. When
he was ten he was making trips of 40
miles as the driver Of 4 span and car
rying many passengers to and from Gin.
cinnah.
AS might be expected he was fond Of
horses, taught them to pace and did many
stunts on horseback. Understanding and
loving them he was able to do most any
thing with horses. It was his claim that
If he could mount horse he could ride
him.
Grant had certain peculiarities aside
from the fact as a boy he didn't believe
in shooting anything. In spite Of his
ability in handling horses he was always
opposed to racing them and he always
kept away from the race track. He
couldn't bring himself to see even as a
boy and young man that such sport was
not cruel. The boyhood days of Grant all
played an important part in fitting him
for the responsible service that he render
ed in after years as the capable military
leader who Lincoln declared did things
and as the president for two terms Of this
great nation.

MY Flrst SWIMMING lesson.

Dear Uncle Jed: It was ON very
warm day in August last year that took
my first swimming lesson. My tutor was
a girl friend of mine. We both went
down TO the river with our bathing suits
on.
At first when we got In the water It
was cold. but after a while we didn't
mind 1t. Ny friend, who was good
swimmer, began by telling me how to
move my feet and hands. I tried It, but
it was in vain.
The next day I tried It again, and
could move my feet and hands a little
The third time went succeeded much
more than before and could swim a little
way. But the last time I went I could
swim pretty fair. hope I'll be able to
do much better this year.

The King and the Thres Children.

Dear Uncle Jed: This is my first letter
TO you. I am II years old and / am in
the sixth grade.
Once there were three children whit
lived in far off country. The children
had a very dirty playhouse. one day
the kings bugler told them that the king
was coming that way. They looked
around and then began to clean it up.
Then they put a box on the ground.
They said that was to be the kings
throne, but they knew that the king
could not sit on it. That night they
could not sleep and they waited all
morning and afternoon. The king did not
come, but a stranger came down the
road. AS he came nearer he asked the
children if he could rest there. One of
the boys asked him if he would be the
king and sit on the throne, after they
told him about the king. The stranger
said that he would have to be going AS
he was walking down the road the moon
shone on his head, and It looked like gold
Can you guess who the stranger was?
It was the king

whr rhere Are Is strlpes in Oar F1ag.

Near Uncle Jed: When the first flag
was made there were 13 states. therefore
when they made the flag they put on 10
stars and 10 stripes. Two years or so
later two more states were gotten and
they added two stars and two stripes to
the present 10. Some time later many
other states were added, but the people
thought that if they kept putting on
stripes the flag would be too large, SO
they kept the 10 stripes as there were at
first to stand for the first Is states of the
Union, but that they would add stars TO
make up the number of the states.
Therefore now We have the Is stripes
and the As stars.
