Wei. this Is hard que question o' to a decide
Some boys do more work than girls hut
most OF times l think the girls have most
cooking, dishwashing, attend to her how-
ers and many other things 60 do. The
boys have TO pillow, hoe aud all such Geld
work. and they attend 10 tho horses and
cows and many other things Both have
plenty TO do, but | don't think that girls
have any more 20 do than boys Some
sisters do everything, while others will
help their mothers and sisters, and be glad
to do 50, Aud girls are the same way
some or them are industrious and some
very lazy. | have three sisters, but no
brothers, so my sistets and | have every
thing 70 do, besides what mother does. and

Volney, Te1ss--poar Happyhammers: I
think II would DO very much better if we
all would put the date at the head OF our
letters. by that means a reader could toll
when the lettcr was written Sometimes IL
takes letter a long time to appear in print
and rs contents appear ont of date unless
it Is known when IL was written Another
thing would like 20 suggest Is that Mrs
Fosters picture be put at tho head Of the
page. WITH ali respect to Arno Lindner,
do not think It right for the H6ps to buy

! think IL right TO patronize Arthur Wealth.

Blanche and I got mp early I'm the morning
and prepared breakfast, MISC our dinner
while brother and Albert dug some bait
We left about g o'clock In the morning
ana arrived at the creek about $50. W,
baited our hooks and put them in. Min,
had been IN about five minutes when
got bite. and up came the line with {
long old eel on ". Oh, how scared W,
wcrel We had lust one hook apiece, anc
now that thing would not let 60 OF mine and
not one OF us would have dared 10 tOuct
II, not even with pole. 80 Albert and
started to a house through the woods anC
got lost n dozen times before we got there
ia get II gun TO Kill IL with, and wher
we got back the eel had turned loose anc
gone back Into the water. We hnd enough
OF that hole, 50 we went down the Creel
until we came to a hole wncre the creek
made a bend and 10 was wide and deep
too. | stumped my foot on root and II
] went. The water was over my head IT
some places, so ] went TO climbing up the
slippery bank aud got about half way ar
when | lost my footing and in | went
again worse than ever. II hurt my heac
and I yelled MY head is swimming" Al
bert snid: "You win not drown as long q,
your head swims," and that gave me
little courage, so J commenced climbing
again. Blanche held ont her hand 20 M
and by hard pulling I got ont, but nothiui
like as fast as ] went IN. This was Abou
o'clock. But where was the dlunCrY
remembered carrying 10 from the eel hole
so | glanced in the hole OF water where

water, About that time I discovered on
or my slippers mieslnE. The boys got
pole and 6shcd the dinner out, for the,
were Interested about Il, though ] was 81
scared about that slipper Il guess you al
know who I was afraid Of The other

Just then. So we proceeded 10 another
place, whore We caught ave little hsh anc
decided 10 return home. All said I'VE
had a nice time but me, and Kept silent
We went into the house where mamma
was, | expecting a punishment but mamma
