,M/O\\ little girl, who, except that
(W VI she was very pretty little

~ Of the little girls who live on

was something queer about this girl, for
she was as strong as an elephant. She
could lift a piano with one hand, and
with two hands she could pull up tree,
roots and ALL but this she never. never
did without asking. Luckily. she was a
very good child, for as she was ever so
much stronger than both her father and
mother put together with all her uncles
and aunts IL would be hard to make her
do anything that she did not want to do.
Besides. If she Were naughty what could
be done with her? This was question
that worried her father and mother some
times, and when at last she was naughty
one day her parents found 1t even worse
than they had expected.
This Is how ii happened one of Sam
sonettas aunts--Samsonetta was the lit
tie girls name-gave her a nice new set
of golf sticks. Samsonetta was much
pleased with her present that wanted to
play with them all the time, Now, her
mother did not mind this, but she said
Samsonetta must go AT least a mile away
from the house when she played so that
there might be no danger of breaking the
windows. This rule did not please Sam
sonetta, and one hot day being tired.
Samsonetta began to play with her new
sticks quite near the house-within half
a mile. OF course this was not safe, and
her mother told her to go further away,
and to go at once. But Samsonetta
thought her mother was foolish. and so
she said to herself. IL will go after have
