"THE SMITH TWINS"

Once uopn time there We're two
little girls. Their names were Nora
and Dora; they were twins. They
were very pretty girls and had blue
eyes and light curly hair. They look
ed a great deal like their mother
They lived on farm. They walked
about half mile to school. They
came home one night and their papa
had bought them two little ponies.
The girls were so glad to get them
that they rode them until dark. In the
morning they got up bright and early
and was riding them again
Christmas morning when they gOt
up among their toys was sleigh for
their ponies. Their papa told them
that he though as they had a buggy
that a sleight would be nice present
for them and indeed it was.
One day their papa sold their farm
and bought a home in town. The
girls wanted to move very badly. They
took their ponies with them. They
started to school after they moved and
liked it fine.

But one day some men were out hurt

They lived in the backwoods quite
a long way from town.
They were poor people
A little river ran close by the house.
The school was about half mile
from their home.
In the summer time, when the chill
dren were not at school, they would
catch fish in the little river
Then they would pit the fish in the
water in a box again.
When their papa went to town he
would sell the fish and use the money
10 buy books and clothes for the chill,
dren to use at school
The children's father made the liv,
ing by chopping wood. One cold win,
or day while papa was cutting an elm
ee he discovered a swarm of bees
he top of the tree In saving off
limb of the tree TO save the bees
and provide them with enough honey
for their winters food, he found quite
a lot more honey below this.
He nailed a board on each end OF
the log sawed, for their home.
Then he went to the house to get
something to take the rest of the
honey home.
Joe and Jean hurried to help papa
carry the honey to the home.
They had about six or seven buck
cts of honey.
Their papa went hunting that after
noon and killed q large turkey
They had hot biscuits, butter and
honey for their supper that night.
The next day they roasted the tllr,
key for dinner and as Santa Claus
was expected that night the children
saved lunch Of bread, butter, honey,
turkey and dressing for him
They went to bed very early that
night, dreaming of Santa Claus.

they found so many toys.
The toys were as follows. A doll
train, cap, coat. pair Of mittens
apiece, books for school. nuts. candy
apples, q pair Of stockings apiece for
them and their mother and father
and three oranges apiece for all

In receiving the dignitaries of the

their sleds, shouting a merry Christ
