Hanging n Racket.

Dear Uncle Jed: am going to tell you about the May basket we hung this May
 The first of May four girls and myself met on the road with a basket of frogs We decided to hang the basket to man who thought a great deal Of himself When we reached his house we all hid except one girl, Cora. who had volunteer ed to hang the frogs and bang at the door. To her hard luck he o7ened the door immediately and found Cora right in the act He caught her by the coat and she yelled and told us to run. The rest of us girls ran as fast as possible, stumbling over each other as we ran in our hurry to get away from the enemy.
 When we had got a safe distance from our pursuer we stopped and waited for our un1ucky friend Cora. She told us of her adventure with the frogs and appear cd be very angry inspite of her laughter.
 We finally decided we would never hang frogs to another person. no matter how much they thought of themselves, and I shall close leaving this simple ad- vice to the cousins

 Well, Johnny, I hope you gave them some" said mamma
 "Oh, yes I gave them some of the crumbs,,' said Johnny.
 Well, what did you do after you left the hens?" asked mamma.
 Then I thought l would go to see Peter rub down the horse I had an ap- pie in my hand but I had not taken two bites when the horse put out his big lips and took the apple out of my hand and ate it." Why, that was not at all polite. John n.y." said mamma.
 Then I went to the COW yard and saw the cows, and I pulled some grass and gave it to them, and they looked at me with their big eyes and breathed hard as much as to say That was good, Johnny give us some more So I had to pull more grass and feed them"
 Why, they all seemed bent on making you feed them
 "Yes, mamma and that's what has made me so tired.'
 Well, Johnny, after you have rested, you shall go into the garden and pluck some of the best roses you can find for my vase" "Oh, am rested enough already" said Johnny, and off he ran into the garden to | get the roses for his mamma SYLVINA ALLARD, Age 14. Plainheld.

My Trip to tho Gull Cave.

Dear Uncle Jed This is the first time l have written to the Wide-Awakes. am going to tell you about my trip to the Gull cave
 Nine of us started about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was about two and one-half miles away. We walked 1t. We crossed streams and went over high rocks. At last we got there. Some of us went in a little way Before we went i'll each of us took hold of long rope we had so that we would not get very far apart.
 One of the boys said he saw something that looked like two eyes shining, but we didn't believe it. They said they saw tracks of foxes. People say that years ago wild animals used to live in this cave One of us went in one end and came out the other. We stood on top of one of the high rocks. Three of us started to go up one side but we slid all the way down again.
 We soon. started for home. When we got home we were tired, but thought we had a great time that afternoon.

4 Pleasant outinr-Mohsgan Park

Dear Uncle Jed: One Sunday morn ing a friend of mine suggested that we go to Mohegan park. So we filled bas- ket with sandwiches and cookies. Then we started off, Margie and I. The air was wonderfully fragrant with the scent of the wild roses that grew by the road side; the birds chirped merrily as we passed by, while now and then squirrel would dart across the road.
 Soon we came to the park. The rose colored bridge that we passed over look ed like fairyland on a postcard view. After admiring it we went to see tie an- imals. The nout stomachs cliamed at tention. We certainly were hungry. So we went and bought some soda; then we opened our baskets and. would you Be lieve it? We ate all we had brought Then we went to the swings. Oh Boy !

She didn't know that the boat wasn't tied to anything and soon she was floating down the river. She was enjoying her ride very much when all of a sudden she saw dam- When she saw it she started to scream. man heard her and went to her rescue as fast as he could. He just got her, when she was about three yards from the dam. The man who res- cued her was her uncle, and she didn't know who he was she was so excited

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAKEs,

w AXES.
 We have now entered the beautiful month of June. the month of roses, the month of many other kinds of flowers the month of weddings and the month when school closes for the long vaca- ton. June is therefore most wo,corne and it is not surprising that the chil- oren at least consider it the best month o! the year.
 But with the ending of the school year there is more to be considered than inst the fun to be had during tho next two months. For a great many it is to he followed by the entrance into higher grades for the pursuit of new studies for some t means the entrance int, high school and yet for quite a number it means the closing month of their school life. While many regard school as bit burdensome as they long to get into business life there is none who can af- ford to disregard the rare benefits to be gained from just as much schooling as they are able to get. Going from school with its short and happy hours, five days S. week, to work every day in the week Is change too often eagerly con- tenIplated only to awaken when it is too late to the neglected opportunities of school and the long drill ahead for the worker. Passing from school days to work days isn't always the delightful change that it seems to be.
 When the time comes, however, there is nothing like being as well prepared as possible to meet it. Those who have gct- ten from school all that was intended are going to be the best equipped to meet the demands of life and to take advantage of the opportunities as they arise. Thus the idea of hastening

What Did During Vacation

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to let you known about my last vacation. On July 14, 1921, my cousins came here in the morning, and just before noon we went after blackberries. We picked two quarts and went home again for dinner My cousin made the blackberries into jelly and then we ate it. In the after noon we went after black berries( again and we picked only one quart because we got the best the first time We went home and played ball for little while. Then we went in the house and when our supper was over we went out and played ball again Then 1t was getting late and went to bed. The next morning we got up and when our breakfast was ready we ate it and then we went out. My mother said she didn't have any wood so my cousin and I sawed some wood and we brought it in the house. Then we went after blueberries. We picked two quarts apiece. There ware three other children with us. We picked eight quarts all together and sold them to the baker at twenty-five cents a quart. We got two dollars. We got ifts' cents apiece. Then we played ball the rest of the day.
 Every Saturday and Sunday we went to the sub base to see men play baseball. The next day we went swimming. Some times we played catch with a ball Some days my cousins went swimming at Ocean Beach. They went in the morning at half past eight and came home al six o'clock. When the apples were ripA we picked them and brought them home. Some days we played and some days we sawed wood. They went to Providence August 18th and went home August I7th. They took the steamboat at Providence for New York, then got the train and went to New Jersey.

Benedict Arnold

Dear Uncle Jed This is the second time 1 have written to the Wide-Awake Circle, SO hope you will enjoy my letter I am going to tell you about Benedict Arnold, just before he died
 One hundred and twenty-one years ago in a rude garret near the loneliest suburbs of the city of London, lay a dy- ing man. He was only half dressed, though his legs were closely fitted in a pair of military boots. An aged minister stood by the dying mans bed. His face was one which you'd look at once, but carry it in your memory forever.
 The minister had never beheld a scene so terrible as this. Suddenly the dying man arose. and tottered along the floor. Wish his shaking fingers he opened va iise. He drew from the valise a coat of blue and the wreck of a battle flag.
 Look ye, priest. This faded coat is spotted with my own blood" he cried. "This coat I wore when I first heard the
