would rite you a few. tho l never
did rite for paper. and swow il
makes me feel jiggly while I'm .
doin' OF it.
My darter. Emma Jane. she
went to Hi School at La Hunty
for ; yeres. Cost me mighty nigh
40 dollars. She says my spelling
is bominable. and mebbe she's
rite, for I've done too much
plowin and holm TO be good
spelleT. and then I'm too old.
You can't teach an old boss new
tIix-that's sure.
But wanted TO tell you about
our farm, our hosses. COWS. sheep.
hogs. chickens and Children. !
lived 8 month in a town once. and
like the country the best. l like
the bloc skies, the gentil zefers
OF spring. the chlip OF birds and
the hum OF bees. like to get up
at 4 K. m. IN the mornin and gaize
with rapture on the glorious sun
rise and listen TO the Groin OF the
rooster cock. and the many aud
various sounds that makes the
music OF nstur' that is SO sweet to
the genuwine farmer.
But | wan, to tell you Of our
stock, the chickens, ct cetery.
We hey he'd the greatest luck
raisin' all kinds of stock, and
want to tell you and your city
folks about them, and how en-
tertainin' it is raisin' stock and
sich like.
tell you animiles is like folks
good deal, and reminds one ov
'eI. Now | hev a little dog
fisty little yallar bugger. runnin'
around doin' nothin' IN pertlkeler.
Tother day my little gal dressed
him up IN clothes. put cap on
his he'd, and a belt around him.
We call him immy-looks jest
like the marshal OF La Hunty. He
was too cute for anything. We
tucked little club under his belt,
and you'd a dide a latin to see
him.
We have another dog-slim,
slick and always nice. He jest
spends his time a lookin' nice.
| We call him Daniel. A fellow
what comes out to spark Emmy
said we ought to call him Mac
Daniel-but | couldn't understand
what he m-ant.
Our old bull is kharacter, too.
When he goes TO the pond and
takes about three drinks, and
rolls his eyes around. he jest
makes you thing of Pat Bradish-
under similar conditions. Does
fer fact.
When l was up to La Hunty |
see a man what seemed to be in
deep trouble. He looked as tho
the new city hall and all the cares
and t,oubles OF an empire rested
on his shoulders. asst Dad
Stephenson who he was, and Dad
said it was Mr.. Ssben. the mare
OF La Hunty. Well sir, we he'd
an old hen thet was jest the same
way. She had one chicken, and
she bussled around and made more
fuss and looked more important
than another hen what had eigh-
teen chickens. My darter, EmLiy,
says she node the mare very well.
Emmy won't 60 to school any
more. think her educashun is
compleet.
We hev one Of the finest colts
you ever saw-big, slick and fat,
Everybody what sees him sails he
will be fine boss, but he Is nifty
strange. Last fall he stood in the
lot in hevy rane, and got soaked
throo and throo-and the shed
door was wide open. We call him
Billy G., because he didn't know
enuf to get in out Of the wet.

But now comes the saddest part
of all, and hev to hev a handkeF-

hev an old, old rooster cock. He
is so old we wooldent even cook
him for city company, and thot we

His name is Henri M, and as l
sed before he is old. Well, sir,
Jest imagine my surprise when ]

saw Henri NJ. and Edw. o. in q
rooster-cock fite. l tell you 1t was
bloody scrap.
First one and the other
would flop their wings and claw at
the other rooster-cock. / called
ma and Emmy and the boys, and
we stood around and watched the
fite. We was all reddy to bury
Henri NJ. when Edw. o. got throo
with him. Bill even got a spade
for the perpus.
Sumbody hes sed that it is the
unexpected that happens. and !
CESS he node what he was tDlkin'
about. What you think. We all
thot Henri NJ. was gone. He Civ
up two or three times, and run.

But its too bad to see Billy G.,
since Edw. o. is no more. He
looks like he had no friends and

He don't seam to take to Henri

Out Prescott Way:

Spectator: Miss Fife King, who
vas under contract TO teach in the
Local. school the coming year, asked
the school board the other day to
waive her contract that she might
accept another position in one of the
Walla Walla schools. The board
obligingly granted her request, and
what is our loss is Walla Walla's
gain, for Miss King is reputed to be
a teacher of great merit. Teachers
are extrmely scarce this year ana
the board had some trouble in re-
placing Miss King. They finally,
however, secured the services of
Chas. Galbraith. a young man from
Dayton who is graduate of the
Pullman college.
