Dear Children: J am so glad to know there are many of you who are reading and appreciating ’Uncle Wl'l's" letters. If you will read attentively what he tells you. It will instruct you In much knowl edge that you will find useful. He gave you in last week's paper an acrostic that he composed himself. He . aid it would make you "search the scriptures," and if ft does that it will a .-omplish a very good work. It takes a good d< al of pa tience for us to bo sue.'-., f-il In any work i we undertake. So man;, children who are I being educated get weary over their les- ! sons and say, "Oh, I cannot learn that." , or “I will never understand this," etc. , There Is the old saying, "The world was j not made In a minute,” are! neither is an i education a "m >lisl. 1 in a day. 1 would like to tell you a story that will give I you an example of patience. It is called, , “What the Spider Told." “I was spinning a web on n ; rose vine." said the spider, "and a little girl was sewing pat hwork on | the doorstep. Her thr ■nd knotted and j her needle broke and her eyes were full of tears. ’1 can't do it.' she cried. ’1 can t! I can’t!’ "Then the mother came and told her ! to look at mo. Ever-.- Hate I spun a nice ) thread and tried to fasten it to a branch the wind bh-w and tore it away. This happened several times.

I suppose it is something like this: A very wise man, who has studied a great deal about birds, finds, let us say. a 'bird that has such a beautiful song that he calls it a warbler without a moment’s hesitation. Then when he begins to get well acquainted with it he finds a good many noticeable things about his bird. In the first, place, it is- hold your jaws now—it is dentlros tral. Isn't that dreadful for a poor, little, helpless wanbier that never did a bit of harm in bls life-to be anything so dread > ful ns that must be from the sound? But ' when you find that dentlrostral only moans "tooth-beaked” you won't think it is such a horrible thing after all. So the Wise Man finds that his warbler Is tooth-beaked, or lias a bill that is notched; that it has a bill that is long, slender, but broad at tho base and taper ing to the end; that its wings are also long and slender, and That it Is sprightly and rather small. So he goes to work, and the warbler family is started. By and by another wise man, or perhaps tin’ j same one, finds a. bird that Is small ami ■ j sprightly, with longish wings ami a pret- ! I ty fair singer, ami also dentlrostral; so j ihe puts it with the warblers, too. And i I so it goes. Birds that resemble in their ■ main points are classed together, until, j as a matter of course, some of them lack the very thing that gave the family i name. So it happens that while many of ; the warblers are very beautiful singers— ; certainly the nightingale Is yet others ! are m ver heard to warble at all. I If I were a wise man instead of only I a little woman I would establish a rule i about tin warbh rs, such as I heard a I Mr. Smith describe tho other day\ He I said: "Adam's .family name was Smith, I but whenever end of the members did not I act just right they cast him out and : gave him a now name So when you see ■< man named Smith you ma.y know he Is all right." That's the way you and 1 will do when wo get to classifying the birds. The black birds shall all be black, an : tho warblers shall all warble. If tin ;. do not, wo will cast them out and give them a new name, so that poor, ]■'. tin pec.; !o will not have a whole list ' of misl, ailing family names to muddle : their brains. Warblers, warbling warblers and non wirbling warblers are, spread over all the ha Ital globe.

In the valley are Luray caverns, Weyers eaves and the natural bridge, each famous among natural curiosities, and clustered about 1115’ home are many places of historic Interest, among which Is "Greenway Court," the old home of Lord Fairfax, where George Washington spent a number of years as surveyor.

Barton R Smith, Mist, Ark. -Dear Ju nior: As the "sex war ' has been tear- I tially quelled, I thought I would slip in I and try to sit with you a while, taking great caution not to arouse the fair ! juniors to arms again. 1 claim the vi- I tory for 'the boys who have "calmed ■ the storms" by the irttibl- force of the proverb, “A silent month is musical.' 1 will gay a few words on that familiar, i though inexhaustible, subject, "Friend- ? ship." Our nature possesses an Instinctive aversion to solitude am! its irksome el- 1 feets upon the consummate bliss of our I live s, 'l he mere presence of our fel vv beings tepels weariness and prod ces , cheerfulness. Then, if the mere presence of our fellow-beings makes us chti i ful, j our happlpess is increased manifold times ! bv the association ol a host of true friends. True friendship is "a noble and virtuous attaehmi nt upringing fr m a pure .- uree.' and includes u willingness on Hie part i of one to pi rlovm a kind act or deed for another. To assist him and become his aid in trouble. To share his troubles, as well as his happiness, assisting him at all times. There is a. vast difference between true friendship and Ihe so-called friendship. Mere acquaintance has but little, if any. j bearing to friendship. An aciiuaintanc may be a counter!'' 11 friend who is closely I allied to a falsi friend. Christ calls Ju- I das his friend, though a traitor.

Invaluable Is true friendship. Lincoln was rich because he saw the virtue of the accurate expression, "Win hear s, and you have hands and purses." He seemed to possess the precise qualities to gain the friendship qf all which, he knew, would be far more condu ive to his happiness and sueC' ss in life than much riches and great learning. The secret of a beautiful, hapnv, suc cessful life Is chaste friendship. Manv a iOSERn When I say I cure I do not mean merely to stop them for a time and then have them re- | turn again.
