Green, when nobody had said word
about wolves since the girls entrance,
looking at his sister with sly enjoy
ment, II was going afoot to the mill
early one morning last summer, and
met two in the path-a black one and
a gray one. I stood still and looked
at them, and they stood still and looked
at me. I knew if turned to run they
would pull me down in a minute.
Finally whipped out my jack-knife
and cut rosin-weed, and .lashed at
them, yelling with all my might. They
were so SCARED they ran like Sheep"

sister Nancy. when daddy was going
to move from Car'lina he bought a new
wagon. We children had never seen
such thing, and we climbed the
spokes, and William took hold of the
chain on the tongue. The wagon
started down hill, and every body let go
but William. The tongue ran into a
tree and broke, and left. the chain in
his hand. I was going to hold on if it
killed me, mother says he. For if
that wagon had got away, how were
we going to move out to Illinois?"
speaking about Sheep" continued
young Green, as if he had not heard
the wagon story, daddy told Nancy
when she was herding the sheep, that
she must carry bag with her and save
the wool that stuck to the bushes. Our
old eve was tame, and it was easier to
pick the wool off her back than to
hunt through the bushes. So Nancy
picked the old eve, and came home
with a full poke two nights hand run

her; but the second night he found it
out!"

Johnny's mother had been anxious
to instill into the mind Of her youth
full son the necessity of reading at
least few verses from the Bible
each day. She is anxious that her
son should have a knowledge of the
Bible as well as other books; in fact,
she thinks a reading of the great
book the best means of gaining a
good understanding of English and
history. The little fellow has been
adding a verse through the Psalms,

yances in reading. The other even

They demand the hearty dogmatism
that cones from the overlooking of
animal spirits They enjoy the cheer
