The Stove,

The Stove.
The stove is a very useful thing. The
stove is made Of iron. Ifit were not for
the stoves we would get very cold. But
the stove would not be'of any use if it
had not any fire in it. There are q great
many different kinds ofstoves made for
different purposes. Some are made for
cooking and others for the parlor. There
are wood stoves and coal stoves.

Evening,

Last night whenI went home Annie
Mckenzie and Maud O'Hara said they
would have game. of ;croquet. While
enjoying the game Nellie Vaughn came
over with horse and buggy and asked
us to 60 for a ride. We said we would
go, of course: We. drove in the direction
of Emerson, and we met man who said
he had one little girl and two little boys.
They are coming to Pembina to school.
When we got back we drove all over
town. Our hats blew of and we had
asplendid time.

Violets are very pretty. There are
many kinds, the blue, the yellow and
other varities. They have a beautiful
odor. There are lots Of item on the
prairie now. The first saw was about
the 9TH Of June. We gather them

Wild Ducks.
Wild ducks are birds that build their
nests in the long grass by slough. They
are sometimes very pretty. Last sum-
mer I watched nest and got five ducks
from it. One of them got drowned and
one morning found the rest all dead.
Out on the farm there is slough very
near our house and the ducks used to
come every day so near that you could
hit them with a stone. One. of the
sloughs was so deep all summer that
you could swim in. it. A great many
came to shoot the ducks and at first they
sat and looked at them but when they
were fred upon few times it was diff
ferent thing.

Snakes.


Different kinds of snakes are found in
differentcountries. They have either a
bag of poison in a hollow fang or some
strong muscle that they kill their pray
with. The English black snake which
is about four feet long, is not very
dangerous. 1t generally lives in moist
places. Ifyou 60 to kill them they: try
to run away. but if they cannot escape,
they will hiss and sometimes twist round
a person and bite him. think the
rattle snake has more poison than any
other. 1t has rattle in its tail consist
ing of forty loose joints. When any
person goes near it, it will shake the
rattle to let them know they are there.
Their bite nearly alyavs causes death.

A Day at Valley Forge.


How we'll I remember the day went
to Valley Forge? We lived but few
miles from it, and one day we wentto visit
it. We started early one morning, and after
short ride on the cars, stepped out at the
little station and walked to the old house
where General Washington stayed when
there. The house is built of stone, and
is almost exactly the same as when
Washington was there. The window
panes are very small, the window seats
very low, making comfortable seats.
They are hollow, and it is said that in
one of them the General kept his private
papers. After seeing all these things, we
began to feel pretty hungry, and it was
arranged that we should eat dinner out
in the old orchard that surrounds the
house. So here the table was set, and
we sat down with birds singing around
us and now and then an apple dropping
from the trees overhead. After dinner
we set out for the old camping-ground.
The road was up long, steep hill, and
we were pretty tired and thirsty, when
we saw plum tree covered with ripe
fruit. After eating all of the fruit we
wanted we started on, taking some Of the
plums with us. We soon entered the
woods, and after few moments more
walking came to the cainping-ground.
There were still some remnants of the
Notifications, and standing OH these we
sang America" "The Star Spangled
Banner" and "Hold the Fort" Then
we walked all over the place, picked up
some stones and went back to the house.
After hearing many stories about the
Forge and writing our names in book
kept for that purpose, we started home,
very much pleased with our visit.

Boating.

We never go boating IN Pembina
except when. the water is high. A year
ago last spring, we girls had lots of fun
boating. The first time went out with
Nellie Vaughn, Maud OtIara: We lost
the oars. I though was going to do
something grand, and I lost the first oar.
The girls laughed ut me and then Nellie
lost the other and Maud laughed at her.
There we were without an oar to our
boat. was partly afraid and partly
glad that Nellie lost her oar. We did
not enjoy being in a boat ON the water
without an car.

on: Stoves.

Stoves are very useful. They are
made of iron. Ifitwer not for stoves it
would be hard to keep warm. There
are two kinds of stoves. the coal stove
and the wood stove. There are two
kinds of wood stoves, the parlor and the
kitchen stove. The parlor stove is
generally high, but the kitchen stove is
low and has four lids.

Bread.

Bread is made of flour, which is made
in grist mill. The wheat is crushed
and afterwards sifted-the flour being
thus separated from the bran. The flour
is formed into dough by being mixed
with water and yeast which is left to rise.
The dough is then placed in pans and
baked.

There are great many strawberry

don't like picking Strawberries because
you have to get up and down so much.
The strawberries here are small but
they are good. The Indians go out
very early in the morning and pick
Strawberries and come into town and
sell them. Last summer there were
great many Indians selling strawberries.

independent named James, represent
