AMUSING FOR A MILE.

While I was in the country this vacation
I was nearly cleft behind" which would
have been greatly to my sorrow, as we were
going into town to listen to the band music
Uncle E. had hitched team of driving horses
to a large farm wagon, which had two seats in
the front and in the back organ which he
was going to take to the depot These horses
had never been hitched to a wagon before
and the rattle, besides having the organ, made
them very frisky and hard to manage. There
were five of US to get into the wagon and all
had stood on chair and jumped in except my
self. Uncle E. supposed had climbed in first
and so started off when Aunt S. said, H1 pre-
sumo you know we haven't Edna, don,
you9' Ono, haven It we9 Whoa!' Stop that,
Mac! Get around, Maud! Whoa, | tell you'll! -
And after much geeing and having uncle
managed to stop the team. I ran thru d, dust
and sand and in my excitement tried to climb
over the wheel, but finally I succeeded in
getting in at the back. My actions furnished
amusement to the rest of the crowd for about
mile. Edna Fitzgerald,
