 To call the raindrous together the Rain sent out messenger to tell them to com to Diamond Hill. and soon they came tunibling down from the clouds sparkling like diamonds The Sun sent a bright rainbow across the sky. and over this bridge trooped bright, glittering. little supbeans. shining like gold. When the, were all there. the Rain stood up and told them of the quarrel between the Sun and himself. Said he:

LIrTLF MIss PRIM

Little Miss Prim was out walking today, While her next neishbor's children were s- all at their play, With gay shouts of laughter as was drag
 ged by. She must be lady and hold her head
 high.
 Poor proud little Mss Prm, Her skirts were starched stiff and each
 curl was brushed tight. Meath her big shady hat her blue eyes
 were bright; She wished she could romp. too, out
 there in the sun. But her shoes were too costly to play ir
 for fun
 Poor stiff little Miss. Prim Close by her side walked d naughty
 young maid, And. oh. dear she. too, was most prop
 erly staid; One sharp eye was pinned on this poo little miss Whom even the sunbeams did not dare t, kiss.
 Poor watched little Miss Prnli Now you may be happy. I fear you arr You must want to run in that big, va i cant lot With children whose clothes ars all dirt, 1 and torn; So riches for you are trial to b | borne,

In the Middle Axes

Dear Uncle Jed It was a rainy day and Elizabeth. the daughter of the Lord of the Castle, sat in the window, over looking the courtyard. Elizabeth was small and slender Her hair. which was very thick and long, was braided ac- cording to the custom of those times and fastened with gold bands She wore a dark green velvet dress. with silk sleeves The coat of arms of the house she be- longed to was embroidered in gold and she had fur on the bands surrounding her neck and wrists.
 As I said before. Elizabeth was sit ting in the window overlooking the court
 yard, watching the little streams Of water run across the ground to the lit tie hole in the wall. through which they flower to join the river which formed the moat.
 Suddenly the huge bell over the gate way clangs. and Elizabeth saw an at tendent run across to it and let down a little wicket, which served as q window in the wall What he saw seemed to satisfy him. So he opened the draw bridge and let single horseman ciatter over it. Though the attendant did not ] recognize the noble. Elizabeth did. Il was Prince Edward. the heir to the ] throne.
 ''where is the young nistress?" said he
 Tn the hall. sir; it please you, sir" the l attendant answered Without another word the prime. strode into the castle as If it were his leaving the astonished page to stable his horse
 Elizabeth arose and then curtsied al Edwards entrance.
 | Nay Remain seated. maid of my 1 heart and hear me. received your fath. CTS consent to woo you when first visited this house. I wooed you and have now my fathers consent to mar, | you. Together we will go to you father and besseeh his blessing"
 Elizabeth was happier now than shi
 had been ever since the prince had iet

 feared he would not accept the daughte
 of any other man than the king O

UNCLE JED's TALK
 ro vr1r,rr IT

Most Of the wide-Awakes who are fond of stories of adventure have prob ably read about Daniel Boone the pioneer mighty hunter and splendid fighter who was born 1Ss years ago next November and whose death occurred 120 years ago last month. His exploits were many and worthy of the attention they have re- eeived in history and stories
 Daniel Boone was typical of the high est type of backwoodsmen which America produced From boyhood of trapping and hunting he advanced to fearless man hood full of resourcefulness and ready for any adventure They came too, thick and fast, as they are apt to do in a semisavage country, such as lay in North Carolina, Boones home at that time Adventures which came in the course of his home life were not enough, either for young Boone, and he was soon push ing his way through almost inp4netra. ble barriers, helping to shift the front fer line of civilization. Among his most striking exploits was his leadership oi a party of settlers to Kentucky, where they founded Booneshorough. Shortly after Boone was captured by the Shaw. nee Indians. who adopted him into tht tribs and carried him of to Detroit. H, escaped on the way, however, and fled tt Boonesborough in time to tell the set tiers that his captors were coming to at tack the town, and in the fighting whicl followed Boone was leader Indeed during his life he fought frequently witt the Indians and won many victories, fo
 he was skilled in woodcraft and in tn
 knowledge of Indian ways.
 1 The period which produced Boone i
 gone for all time, and the need for hi type of man has passed away, also, to
 great extent But the world needs, an
 will need always, men of as great cour
 age and resource. ,Boone's life is wort

 do well to read all about it and folio,
