| Hungerford, Texas-Dear Haphammer;
| Will send you a pen picture written by
myself, entitled:
THE TWILIGHT"
| The farm boy is singing his milking
song, while now and then the low of a
COW is heard in response to his call. The
air is cool and refreshing, breeze swaya
the tall trees to and fro; the hooking
bird is singing his evening song, and
every thing Is wrapped in the coming
twilight. There is a feeling of rest and
quiet In the air. 1t seems that Gods
own angels are near, keeping watch over
I
In this beautiful hour and leave all
things with God. One tiny star is seen
showing its light to all the world, and
I'silently night falls like curtain veil
ing all things In darkness. In the twi-
light hou- peace and quiet for ever abide.
true Hap. Anne o. Taylor.
McDade, Texas.--Dear Haphammer:
