WOULD EXPLORE THE SKIES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When our planet whirls through tne
tail of Halleys comet wouldn't 1t be
glorious if we could take ride on the
tail? If I were to take a ride on the
tail of it I would get on the extreme
end. Suppose l could guide the comet
and go wherever l pleased.
First I would visit Mars and see IL
the experiments we're really true that
DR.. Lowell made of those queer inhabl-
tants.
After staying there for a day or two
I would visit Jupiter. | would not stay
there long. and would next visit the
moon. | could then see if the old say
ing. there is a man in the moon,' was
true.
Next | would visit Saturn and then
Venus. BY that time I imagine I would
be rather lonesome, so l would go back
to Mars and get some Of the strange in
habitants and have them tell me more
of the universe.
Now | must imagine that | would go
in pursuit of the comet 1910. l would
get on it and visit the rest OF the I'M
portant planets.
Then l would get get back on Halley's
and tourney homeward. When got
home / would get off and let it start on
its next journey. "

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day while I was fishing for
salmon in the river near our house
l was suddenly pulled from my seat
