A frue story or the Mischievous Prank -
. Donkey.

- y
. Donkey.
Leo Pryer and Jennie Cleveland
were two little English girls. Leo's
real name was Leonora, but they called
her Leo s.for short These two little
girls were great friends; they were
both the same age. lived in the same
town and went to the same school
wonder how many little girls who
read this story have seen a donkey!
Well. they are just the funniest little
creatures. with long ears and shaggy
coats. And ] am very sorry to say they
are like some little girls and boys. in
that they have very strong wills Of
their own, and when they make up
their minds not to do thing. it is next
to impossible to make them do it.
Donkeys are not so often seen in our
country as they are in England. where
Jennie and Leo lived. There they use
them to ride upon as we do ponies
here.
Now Jennie had donkey, and that
donkcy's name was Mamie. and every
morning Leo and Jennie rode to school,
one behind the other. on Nannie's back.
When they reached the school and both
had jumped of. Mamie would run
across the green all alone to the stable.
where she stayed till the little girls
were ready to 90 home.
One beautiful day early in May,
when the yellow primroses were in
blossom; Jennie and Leo were riding
home at noon-time as usual. They
were trimming over with fun and
laughter, as two happy little girls are
apt TO be. Nanny was jogging along
as she was in the habit Of doing. seem
ingly intent on no mischief. when sud-
denly. without the slightest warning.
she threw down her head. kicked up
her heels, and almost before they knew
il. Leo and Jennie were in the hedge
beside the lane which they were riding
through. Fortunately II was only a
hedge. where there were neither rocks
nor stones, or our little girls might
have been seriously hurt: rs il was,
they picked themselves up aad laughed
until they could laugh no more. As
for naughty Mamie. she had taken to
her heels and was nowhere to be seen.
However. when they reached home,
Miss Nan was quietly grazing in the
field as innocently as though she had
done nothing wrong.
] am glad to be able to tell you that
Mamie was never naughty again. and
day after day rode Leo and Jennie to
and from school like good donkey.
Jennie and Leo are now women

who is quick-witted may find himself at
an advantage over the one who is
merely strong-armed. The history Of
Kansas, during its most troubled peri

victim, coolly remarking: They might
as well kill me- an act Of daring
which temporarily arrested their de-
