This summer we had three months Of
school and went every day but two,
without being tardy.
Evenings after school when I came
home I would feed the chickens, gather
the eggs, carry in the wood. help my
mama get supper, and sometimes when
my papa was working in the field l
would go where he was working and
ride my favorite horse home.
One evening after school my school
mate invited me home with her to eat
strawberries. went and we had a
fine time
On Arbor days we went to the woods
to gather flowers and I got almost a
handful then brought them home
and put them In a glass Of water and
kept them for two or three days. The
most Of them were vtolets.
/ have made some flower beds and
raised few flowers and sewed for my
doll.

said she had worked with her own
hands.
The doctor bowed stimy, and said
Madam, the pocket-book is quite a
work Of art. and l admire it exceed
ingly, but my fee is two thousand
francs"

the pocket-book back she removed
from 1t five one-thousand-franc notes,
and handed two Of them to the doctor,
bowling stifly in her turn, and, replac.
ing the other three notes in the reject
ed pocket-book she retired.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor:
took a trip east for my vacation.
went to New York state with my
mother, father. brother and sisters. We
stayed there about month On our
way home we stopped and saw the
Niagara Falls. We had a splendid
guide. who took us on Goat Island,
where we saw the American Falls.
There we saw a beautiful rainbow in
front of the falls. We saw the Three
Sister Island. There we saw the rus
tic bridges that connected them. On
the railing Of the bridges when wa
would look over we would almost fall
in, the bridges were so swift Next we
went across long bridge, where we
had to pay toll. This took us to
Canada. We put on rubbers, rubber
coats and hoods. and went down about
a hundred feet. Some Of the jolly par
ty would tell us to look at bird We
would look to see the bird and they
would hold us and let the spray coma
down in our faces. The next day we
visited Lincoln park at Chicago, and
saw all kinds of birds and animals
from Europe, India, North and South
America.
