lPflZe.J
4 BOUT four years ago I was at a
a farm near Lake Minnetonka.
They had four calves out there, and
one afternoon went out with the lady
to the barn to see her feed them. There
was a pail of milk for each one and
she let me hold one so they would not
tip it over. 1t was all I could do to
hold it. After she had fed them, we
went out and the calves followed US,
and one managed to get through the
door It ran all around the yard and
jumped and kicked. We tried to get it
in again, but we could not. There was
a hole in the fence and the calf made
dash for it. but the hired girl and the
lady caught hold of its tail when it
was almost through. They pulled and
pulled till they were red in the face,
but they could not pull the calf back. 1t
was very funny to see them. They
both we're fat women and very strong,
but still they could not get it back. I
laughed till could hardly stand, and
1t was all I could do to go after the
men. I had to sit down five times, and
every time I looked back I could see
them still struggling. Their faces were
SO red I believe I could have seen them
a mile away. Soon the men came and
we got the calf in. Then we all
laughed. Eva Z. Lundqulst,

M HILE I was attending school n
w the region of Beaver Hollow.
there was among the pupils one par
ticularly amusing character. He was
a lad of fourteen and he not only
amused the scholars but the teacher
as well. His red hair signified tenn
per beyond control, and his greatest
enemy, his temper, was constantly get-
ting him into trouble. 1t was not his
temper, however, that amused me, but
a persistent spirit that seemed to Ga
with it. And while he showed this
amusing trait In many ways, re-
member once in particular. The close
Of school was drawing near and each
Of us had part In the exercises fog
the last day. A poem was assigned to
this lad to learn. He was very per-
sistent in declaring he could not mag
ter it in so short time.
That evening In his room he was
pondering over his hard task when he
noticed a snail slowly ascending the
wall opposite him. The thought ocn
CURED to him that he might learn
little by little, as the snail slowly mada
his way, and by the time the snail
reached the top he would have his
poem learned. The last day came ana
when the teacher called his name o
giggle was heard in different parts Of
the room. He recited his poem wen
and his teacher was very much pleased
and asked him how he had 1t learned
SO well when he was so sure of failing.
He told her Of his race with the gna1
and what valuable lesson 1t had
taught him. Alice L. Evensen,
