PLAYING AT TAG.

one of them got away from me. He was a particularly
clever fellow, SO I anticipated trouble in getting him in.
i knew he would not go far, SO I finished watering the
horses and then started after him. He was standing near
the road, but when he saw me coming he was off like a
shot. A little farther down the road he stopped again.
When I came up to him he wheeled around and started
back. But he went past the gate a little way and then
stopped again. And when I came up to him, he turned
we, chased back and forth along the road and sometimes
in the fields. It was growing dark and I was becoming
angry. As I came up to him for about the tenth time, I
picked up a stick and threw it at him. It gave him a
smart blow on the back. Like a flash he turned and
made a leap, landing on a barbwire fence. He was net
caught fast, ande greatly-frightene he raced for the
barn. Luckily for me he was only scratched a little.

A LETTER.

One day mama sent me to the postohice for the mail
She expected a letter from papa, who was away. When /

and told mama. She said she knew there was one because
he had promised to write SO she would get one that day.
There were a number of families by the name of stSwan-

instead. / had to go to the postohfce again, but they
had all been after their mail, so it was not there. Then

FINALLY LANDED.

One bright summer morning a friend and I went fish
ing. There were schools Of small fish out in the shallow
water summing themselves. At last, we came to our ia
vorite- fishing place and there lay a fine large pickerel
tapping his tail and summing himself, also. He did not
seem to be afraid Of US nor did he have any reason to be
just then, for he was out of the range of our fishing
apparatus. We thought that about the best thing we
could do to get Mr.. Pickerel was to wade out into the
FLYER and this we did. Altho the water was cold we
wanted the piekerel and so pushed on noiselessly, inch
by inch, until we were in ran e.- We now lowered our
snares, fastened both of them on him and jerked, only
to find nothing at the end of our poles: He had broken
choking. We now remembered the saying, IF at first
you don't succeed try, try again. - andsthis we did. He
was completely exhausted by this time and could do but
little. How glad we were when we had him on the bank.
Ny! Such a big fellow: We then-went home with our
hearts going ''pitty pa" " and I doubt if a soldier could
have held his head any higher: Ear Webster,

Mama said, ''When you find the ring you may put the
