Dear dad I am capten of the base ball

like to have a botel of arnicay, some
bandiges and cort plasters sent in the
box, only please rap the bOtel of arnicay

| cake.
THE fizzical culture teacher he says I
will be strong enough to play on the
first foot ball leven this year, not the
scrubb like last. If I do 1 will want a
new suit, for my last year suit fits too
quick for the game which is not for dress

dude boys put on who don't play, only
play at playing. but the Reel thing what
men ware, only my size. hope dear
mamma is well and the matron sends her
love and thanks for the gloves, and says
1 can have some jam for the cake, so do

"Yure loving Emmett.
POS skip. Dear dad so long as you
are sending a box please put in a few
base balls, nashional leeges and a few
bats for the man in the village who sells
them says he can't pay rent and trust.
Why? If l was man and KEEP a store
all boys should have trust for without
trusting nature the springs of our SIM
pathies dry up so it says in the reader l
have to read from. | told the man that,
but he said for me to go tell it to his
landlord and if the landlord would take
it insted of rent 1 could have all the bats
and balls 1 wanted on trust. But nave
no time to fool with landlords while am
capten Of the so please put in short
stop glove too, also, please, and oblige
yure loving Emmett
,I1ri a,1roia Saf1t fine
and made a party in the dormitory the
night it came, but the gas being out by
orders some mucker boy stole more than
his share and rough housed and the
he'd master came with his cane though he
is not lame. Some of US are. l should
think g. man would be satisfied to walk
with his cane and not use it on boys who
are in their nighties and not prepared with
books under the seat of their pants like
when you get caned in the day time. This
is a hard world especial when 1t hurts to SIT
down. But we found out the boy who
sWiped more than his share of the candy
in the dark, and there was no kurl in his
hare when we got through holding his he'd
under the pump. I don't mind bold rober
but sneek theef no good boy can abide so
good bye from yure loving Emmett,
II forgot to tell you what you asked
about my standing in my class. l would
stand better If l was nearer the he'd, but
another boy is at the he'd who don't like,
so 1 keep as far from him as l can. He
is no good and dear dad, you always told
me to avoid bad company. There are quite
a number OF boys between me and the he'd,
but perhaps they don't have to avoid bad
company, for their mammals and dads are
mostly getting divorces and therefore too
busy to give their litel boys good advice as
my dear dad gives me- SO, don't forget the
bats The boy who stands next to me
plays first base dandy and covers more
ground than circus tent. He is a good
boy besides, so I should say my standing
In the class is to the good. There isn't no
boy on the other side of me. for that Is
where the class ends, but If boy gets that
place away from me I'll see that he Is
good or know why. The reason like to
be at my end of the class, which isn't the
end where the he'd boy is, is because hate
to answer questions other boys can't an
not q brave thing to do to make anybody
shamed as, dear dad, You told me many
times. But in the fizzical culture class
am at the other end, for there no ques-
tions to answer and make other boys
shamed only things to do. like things to
do better than things to say, for, dear dad.
you often told me that to do things is bet
ter than to talk about doing them 1 try in
all ways to be all that you want me to be
as you see by this, and II you put anything
else in the box make it a nose guard, for
give mine to a boy what has a dad who
don't like football. makes his boy play
without a gard. / should think he was a
bad dad, anyway he is not SO nice mine.
My love to dear mamma and say that If
the box holds two cakes / will try to do
my duty by them, for you always told me,
dear dad, to do, my duty no matter what
else do. From Eminet.
bubble post skrip-A boys uncle came
and said to the boy. Well, old man., he
