1t is expected they will sow as much
more before the close of the planting

the seed to the Indians this year as here

the Indians to repay it when they har-
rest their crops. The pupils of the
Indian school are farming extensive

Or breathe, while baby takes a nap.
Lest we should wake the little chap!

When the other people want to doze!
At night. when folks have gone to bed,
He rouses them all up instead.
To wait on him. Ma lights the lamp.
And warns milk for the little scamp!
Pa walks him up and down the floor,
Sometimes two hours and sometimes more
And nurse comes running In stew,
To see what she for him can do!
And Will and Harry at the row,
Call: Whats the matter with him now?
And I'm walked up at all the clatter
To wonder what on earth's the matter!

The house exists but for his sake.
And such a tiny fellow-he.
