rugn says We never eat the horse because
ne is TOO useful to kill, but that is mo, the
reason yet. We do not eat the horse
because his flesh is not good. The cow

Nesbitt. Texas.-Dear Haphammer.. here
come once more to chat while with the
Haps | believe some OF the Haps have
changed their minus. not to buy 50 mucn
candy and send their nickeis to the help
lng fund, / was glad to see so many
send their nickels this week to help get
Edna Fowlers chair. | will senl 10 cent,
for Edna's chair and hope sac Will SOFA
get it. ] was glad to see Jimmie Ed
wards pictures / am glai tnas he is so
happy with his new leg Well, now for the
contest, Which is the most uselul am
mai 10 man. Why, the COW, OF course.
don't see what the people would DO If 1t
wasn't for the cow | couldn't do with
out her nice milk and butter. The horse
Is very useful, we know, buL l can't Sc
that he is of more use than the COW We
could use mules and oxen in the place OF
horses. Well, 1 don't want to make any
OF you Horse Haps' mad, so | won't say
any more on that subject. suppose the
Haps are glad that school has commenced
again. Well, will close as there is Mr..
l hope he won't get my
letter. A true Hap. Olga S!tz.
Beech Grove Texas.-Dear Happyham-
mer: AS my last letter was not printed l
thought that would try IL again. AS
the contest is still going on | would like
TO say few words in favor of the horse.
Some of the COW Haps have had the
temerity to say that the bicycle will take
the place of the horse in the city. Now,
please allow me to-refute this statement.
From reliable statistics we learn that IN
the great City of New York alone there
are 5000 or more horses in actual use.
New York is considered the most up-to-
date fashionable city in the United states
Now tell me If horses are not useful IN
the city as well as the country. That's
right, Thomas T.; pop 1t to EN-. why
can't you all see that it takes the horse
labor to make food for the cow ii an
established fact that NJ the hner COWS
such as the Jersey. Hereford or Holstein,
will not give much milk or butter with
out good feed. Now, what does 1t lake TO
make good feed 1t takes work and hard
work. too. Who does this work ! say
The horse does the greater part OF II. l
nope that the time will nevar come "WheN
farmers hitch bicycles to plows and the
Haps all vote for tho eow." As ever,
Pillow Boy.
Blanconia, Texas.--Dear Haphammer;
will come once more 10 chat a"hiie With
the Haps. after an absence oil nearly '"o
years. have been a member OF the nap
py band for nearly eight years. ana We
nave got another contest, see, ana am
,uite sure that the cow will win eut SUN
will cast my vote for the noble morse,
which | think is the most useful amman
% man. | was so glad to see Jimmie s
picture in the paper. and nope that ne
IAN use his leg by this time. Just think
low many Haps there are, and only few
of them are sending in their nickels. why,
/ looks like If every one would send a
nickel, how quick and how many nttle
,ripples we would make happy Haps,
don't YOU all think 1t is kind OF Mr.. Hap
o give Us this page? / think The Post
is the best paper ! ever read. Papa mas
been taking IL as long as | can remember.
and says it is one OF the greatest papers
N the Southwest. Several OF the Hap5
re writing about their flowers, but
lave not got many flowers, as the hot sun
billed them. but we have very cold
lorther blowing now. Haps, let's all try
% get little Edna Fowler's chair BY
Christmas, and don't you think 1t would
De nice Christmas present for her Mr..
Hap? II had voted in the last contest
would have voted for General Sam Hous-
on, for think he was the brayest soldier,
but must say that Travis was very
brave man, but | think that Houston was
he bravest. / have no pets except little
,aby sister; she will be weeks old next
Tuesday; her name is 0uida Dell. | Will
lend cents to help get Edna a chair. So
oye- bye for this time. Yours for the no.

Oklahoma Territory.-Dear Haphammer;
Greeting to you all. Will you please adj
nit Cheyenne girl into your club. /
am Texan and it is with pride that !
own IT, | like 1t so much better than
acre. Haps, how would you like TO live
Ip here among the Indians? They have
some odd customs. They bury their dead
10 wagon beds UP in tree tops. | went
10 see some buried this way. They were
all stirred up with bottles. tin cans, beads.
stc II was not a pleastn occupation and
did not larry long.
In regard to the contest will say but
little. as some have expressed my sentl-
ments better than ] could. VIII cast my
vote for the COW In my estimation she
Is more useful toSthe majority of mankind
Than the horse or any other animal,
though the horse is by no means not use
ful. Just imagine yourself in Texas on
The rolling prairie. fierce norther is
