Rose had been for bidden to Eo into the forest alone. well. one day she thought she'd go out by herself. She had been walking quite a while when She thought of where she was. She turned back and thought she was going home When she saw two sypsy women. she got frightened and started to run. But the women caught her. They kept her for quite while, Showing her how to dance and sing.
 A few years after while they were moving to another place the chief said Rose, you must do your best in the place where Be are going or you will be sorry When they got in the town Rose netieed that 1t was her home town.

 A kind woman living nearby took the child to her home and soon phoned for a doctor. The doctor came and dressed the wounds.

How I Learaed to sr,st,

Dear Uncle Jed I lsarfled tc swim when I was about six years, The river was about five minutes walk from cur house. My two brothers one about twelve and the other about ten years old at the time, took me out in a rowboat. They could swim good. One of ny brothers jumped out and swan around and was ready to grab me if anything went wrong. The other brother then upset the boat and I went into the water. I started to paddle like a dog ana in that way kept afoat until I reached the shore. After they dumped me ou a few more irdes I could swim pretty good. Now am a good swimmer.

Where Are the stars Ia the Day TiSAes
 Dear Uncle Jed; I hope the Wide Awakes will be interested in reading about the stars. Have you ever wonder ed where the thousands of stars go in the day time Tlhey really do not 50 any where. They are in just the same place as they are at night. The reasoH Tor this is that the sun Is 50 bright 1t shuts out all the soft light of the stars. But if something should cover the sun in the day time, we could see the stars again. This sometimes happens when the moon comes between us and the sun and we have what is called total eclipse. Then we can see the stars twinklihg again. It is said that men working at the bottom of deep we'll or pit can see the stars shining in the little bit of sky above them.
