Dear Uncle Jed: All was quiet in the town of Martirsdale except for an oc- casional chirp of bird in the lofty trees. Now and then a splash was heard as frog jumped into 9 pool nearby. Suddenly was heard line of music in the town which was now noisy.
 The boys rushed out of the houses and slammed the doors and dogs rush d out of their kennels with bark to follow their youthful masters. They went down q lane and at the end there was an organ grinder with his monkey who was scrsmbling up the side of the building to get the pennies which were held out to him. The monkey was dressed in a red jacket and red cap. He went from one window to another and got the pennies. The monkey had two pockets on the sides of his coat He put the peflies into his pockets. But alas. as he turned to go down he went down teadirst and the pennies dropped into the street.
 The monkey had enough sense t. turn back and go down the other way The, boys meanwhile had gathered the pennies and put them in the grinder: cup. The monkey shed tears and whim. perad. But when he saw the boys give the pennies b.Fl he returned joyfuliy t his master's side.

 Soon after the farmer made himself rich and famed and he was not only konHn throughout the country but also abroad, and many foreign people came to see him and his handmiIl. Among these was a skipper who went far for salt to freight it to other countries. When he asked to buy it the farmer would not part with it until the skipper offered SC large a sum. Then the farmer agreed because he knew that the skipper would i bring it back very soon.
 The skipper did not loiter long after he had purchased the handmill because the ] farmer might change his mind, and in his hurry he did not stop to ask how to stor ! it, but put it on his back and brought il 1 on deck. He ordered the mill to grind | salt, and grind it both fine and quick i The mill began to spout salt in great quantities until the ship was full and the i water came on deck and all went to tn, 1 bottom.

The Army
BY R. $. ALEXANDER

Hunting Eye was happy. He had again met his friend of the summer, the Captain, who had hunted in the North Woods. And the Captain was taking him to see the great army camp in which he was stationed.
 Who runs the army" he asked.
 "The War Department. The Presi- dent, except when he appoints some one else in war time, IS Commander-in- Chief of the army and is responsible for the manner in which its affairs are carried on. He appoints a Secretary of War who Is at the head of the War Department. This Department controls the army. Of course the Department carries out the policies of the Presi- dent.
 Tt does not have power to vote rsoney for military affairs. That must be done by Congress. Bit the De partment makes recommendations as to how much money is needed by tho army and these recommendations have some weight with Congress when il comes to decide how much money to vote. The Department has control of the spending of the money. It appoint: all of the commissioned officers from the commanding gcHeral down to tht junior second lieatehant."
 Can't city have an army" "No, but the states have wlia amounts to one. Most of the state: maintain a body of troops called tn, state militia or national guard. These men do not make a life business O soldering but merely do a certain amount of training each year.

An Exciting Adventure.

Dear Uncle Jed: About week ago ] wrote this composition in school and got a high mark on it:
 An Exciting Adventure-One day as I was walking homeward through tho forest I suddenly heard low chuck, ling in the bushes. I looked up and. tc my surprise, twelve or fourteen Indians were laughing and chuckling together talking over what they were going tu do in the evening.
 They were going to scare the people steal cows, hens, horses and anything they could lay hands upon. They were going to destroy everything, besides burn the whole village. went into the village and notified the people. When the Indians came the whole town was waiting ready fol them, and soon defeated the whole tribe
 These Indians never tried to trouble the people again, or tried to massacre any one of them. After that was al. ways careful not to meet any Indians while going through the forests EDWIN D. FOSTER, Age 12. . North Franklin

Who Are Patriotse

L1eut Uncle Jed: There is something wrong in thinking that soldiers and sail ors are the only patriots What shall we say of the women who do not fight? What shall we call Martha Washington
 who was compelled to stay at home while her husband was at Valley Forge?
 What shall. we call the tf1ctisantis oE women who sent their brothers and sons to help the cause Of liberty? Were not
 these women as good patriots as their husbands and brothersc
 A multitude Of men even in the War
 Of the Revolution. were nevec soldiers
 and sailors, and vet they were patriots. There was Benjamin Franklin, for in- stance He never foU~H but who loved
 America better than he? There was Sam uel Adams; who\ ever heard of his fight
 ing a battle? But he was as brave and | sturdy a patciot as any soldier in the
 army. Then there was Washington friend. Robert Morris of Philadelphia
 who helped get money to pay the sol diers Thousands of braver men risk their l lives every day to save others from | harm. Brave doctors and nurses go where 1 deadly disease is. Brave engineers are not afraid of sudden death if they can l save their passengers from death or ac- 1 cident.
 Brave fremen stand ready to die tc | bring little children out of burning build 1 ings. Brave boys every summer risk 1 their lives to save their comrades from 1 drowning. Brave fellows hold in check
 maddencd horses and prevent them iron , running away with women and children i Brave women risk their lives daily for the l sake of others.
 | Whenever we see brave man or wom. ! an or child, there we look for patriot. 1 LOUISE SCHAFFHAUSER, Age 13. Norwich.

First we had to make a fire and do the hot dogs and then eat them all
 together. After we had treasure huni for a two pound box of candy. A treas ure hunt Is a prize or something hidden in the trees or in the grass. Soon Il 1 was getting dark. and We had to clear up and go home. When we were on ouI way home boy fell and cut his head ( i little, but the scoutmaster had some band

 Dear Uncle Jed: One bright sunny day in the month of october, a friend of mine and I went gathering nuts. We took along two bags which we hoped to i'll.
 We went oyer in some woods where many walnut trees grew. After I haS picked up nuts for while i went over to another tree. Here I picked for about five minutes. I then went far ther into the woods until I came to a large butternut tree. I filled my bags and then went back to the place where I had left my companion He had both Of his bags full, so we took up our bags land started for home. After travelling for about fifteen minutes we came out on road where found I had been go. ing in the wrong direction, so we turn. ed around and started for home.
 After encountering many difficulties arrived home about 4 o'clock. I meas ured my walnuts and found I had orl!S one peek. I then spread them out or the floor to dry. Although I spent ont afternoon in gathering the nuts, I en 5oyed eating. them the whole winter 1 long.

 We named Helen and Helena so near alike because they look so much alike that my mother can't tell them apari when one of them is not chained to the stake,
 My older brother Charles taught Helens to bunt and so now my little brother Robert doesn't like it so well because one time she lifted him up few inches from the ground.
