BOUNCING ON RUBBER ICE.

The best thing about spring is that
we boys can play marbles, baseball and
other interesting games. The grass
springs up, the trees bud, the flowers
blossom and the birds come back. We
can lie in the shade under the big trees
and have joyous time. The snow melts
and there are streams and big ponds Of
water everywhere. We can go picking
flowers at the close of spring. Many times
the boys and girls come home with their
feet wet. The boys have much fun run
ming over the ice which goes up and
down, and which they call rubber ice."
