HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

There was going to be a SNOWFALL fight
between the boys Of our neighborhood'
One side was Indians and the other pale
faces. I was one of the palefaces. We
had built fort in an open lot which was
to be occupied by the palefaces. The day
before we had made quantities Of snow
balls and piled them in the fort. The In
dams were allowed to use icy snow-balls
because they had no fort. We selected
captain who could throw straight, and
then took our places in the fort. The In
dams attacked us from all sides, and
some Of us were given many hard knocks
with icy snow-b balls. We held the fort
very well, and only lost few men, for
every one who lost his hat by the Indians
was supposed to be scalped and could not
fight after that. However, the Indians
lost the battle even tho they had icy
snow-balls. When we went home that
evening most Of us were very wet and
grimy, but altogether we had a very goee
time. WARD Bentley,
