QUITE A TOWN NOW.

Two years ago when I was visiting in Min
neapolis I went home in May. On my re-
turn I found that the town had grown quite
large. When I left there were about five or
six hundred inhabitants. On my return
there was twice the population. There were
parks and summer resorts The town had
grown beyond recognition. My friends knew
I was coming so they were at the depot. =,
The next morning as I was going to the
store, I met friend Of mine whose name is
Ida. She had her Shetland pony and she
asked me if I did not want to take a ride
We drove until we came to the outskirts Of
the town. When I asked her where we were
going she only laughed and said, eve are
just taking ride.'' After we had ridden
little way we saw crowd. They stopped and
waited for us. Oh, what delightful time
they did give me! They had planned a picnic
for me and it was indeed a success That re-
turn to the scenes Of my childhood I shall
always cherish because Of those delightful ex-
periences. ." Ada Williams,
