FOUND A TINY SPRING

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I am going to write about a picnic
in the woods which was on the Fourth
of July.
We were off early in the morning,
so as not to miss the train. Soon af-
ter arriving at the station our special
train came along, and was soon filled
with pleasure seekers. The woods
were about twelve miles from town,
and the train came almost to 1t. When
we got off the cars we had about five
minutes walk. 1 hardly think 1t took
US FIVE minutes to get there, though.
After we had passed through lit
tie bit of the woods we came to the
picnic grounds. There were two swings
and two trapeZe rings, benches and
tables, also a pavilion.
All morning we played and shot fire.
crackers. l burnt small hole in my
dress, and some few others did the
same. but no other accidents nap
pened.
we were all glad when lunch was
ready. The tables were so full of good
things we did not see how they eX-
pected us to eat them, but somehow
nearly everything disappeared.
After lunch we walked along the
brook until We got quite far away.
Oh how merry it looked as it flowed
past us, singing its song of happiness,
and how good and cool it's water was.
Then we thought we would go in wad-
ing and keep on till we found it's
spring. We found it among the rocks.
When we got back they were just
starting the races. They had a sack
race, tug-of-war, threeiegged race,
old mems race, old women's race,
young mems and women's races, girls
and boys races and three or four more
races for smaller children. They gave
a white ribbon for first prize, red
one for second and blue for third. Also
they gave nice prize for the one who
won. Afterward we played till time
to start home.
On the train that night was hap
by but tired crowd. 1 would like to
visit the woods and little brook again.

crooked, but there were some short

We arrived at the woods about 1880
o'clock and we were so tired that we
lay down for a little while. We got up
soon and played tag and hide and seek

A LOST TRAIL

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Arthur was travelling with a band of
hunters in Africa. They had taught
him how to shoot and how to use his
hunting knife.
One day he started out to hunt alone.
He wandered about a while. sometimes
shooting a rabbit which he thought
would be good for supper. Suddenly
he came upon a herd of elephants He
thought he would return and tell the
men in camp. Being excited, he took
the wrong direction. and went farther
and farther away from camp.
Later in the afternoon he built him
self a wigwam in which he could spend
the night AS night came on he began
to think about Crusoe and how he lived
alone so long. He didn't at all fancy
such life now as he used to.
In the morning all his bad dreams
left him. He began to think if he only
had a Friday he would be Crusoe,
sure.
Just then a little negro baby toddled
out from among the bushes. Imme-
diatelv Arthur said He shall be Fri
day." But Friday didn't stay long, for
a few minutes later a negro mother
came in search of her child. When she
found him in Arthur's wigwam she
began to scold, but Arthur didn't I'M
derstand word she said. He made
signs to her to show him the way out
of the wood. but she wouldn't do it,.
Along toward evening he began to
feel homesick again, but just then he
heard the cracking of bushes and a
searching party arrived
When he was telling the men all
about IL little later he said, ST have
been a Robinson Crusoe for two days"

FRIED FISH ON STONES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
wake me early in the morning,
mother, dear" sang my brother one
evening two years ago.
Mother, DEAR" laughed and faith
fully promised to awake him, for the
next day our school Ca small country
SCHOOL, was to be represented by
teachers and pupils in a picnic to be
held in "a large forest, several miles
distant.
AS a rule. none of us children of
our own accord arose early of morn
ings, but not one of us hesitated on
the morning of the picnic, when mother
awoke us at o'clock We hastily
dressed and helped mother pack a
lunch of sandwiches, olives and cake.
At o'clock we heard a rolling
sound, and looking toward the road,
we saw a large hay wagon, crowded
with happy and enthusiastic children,
coming up our lane. We were ready
to start, SO we grabbed our lunch
basket and our hats and followed by
mother, we flew down the lane to meet
the wagon Soon we were on our way
toward the woods, happy band of
children, with smiling faces. What
person could have felt otherwise than
happy while riding in a comfortable
hay wagon and inhaling the fresh,
crisp air of that July morning?
After a two hours ride we reached
the woods. Our lunches we placed
under some trees near a clear, spark
ling brook The smaller children all
took off their shoes and stockings and
waded in the places where the water
was deepest. The ground was thickly
carpeted with soft, green moss and

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Leaving Tuscon at 6 q. m. Tuesday
morning, June 1, we went southwest
to Rowles cattle ranch, which is TWEEN
ty-three miles from Tucson. About
5000 head of cattle are watered there
every night, and there we watered
our hor-es.
On to Dobbs well. dug by the coun-
ty during the Koteh mining excite
ment, where we slept out under the
sky on the ground
Leaving there at o'clock, we came
to Hanes WELL where we stopped and
watered our horses. After leaving the
well we passed an Indian village
named Jose Jaun, Then going on. we
passed the old Fresno cattle ranch,
which has been abandoned end is in
ruins. 1t is five miles from the mines.
We arrived there at IL o'clock, just
in time for dinner, and we stayed
there for long vacation. Yours truly,

We spread our lunch on the tables and
sat on the benches that were there.
After dinner we went up the noun

LOST IN THE FOREST

Dear Aunt LaurIe
Whenever woods" is mentioned I
always have to smile. That word re-
minds me of a trip had in the woods.
I must say didn't feel like smiling at
that time. for it was not very pleasant
to be lost in the woods.
1t happened when we lived in Hay
ward. Our little party of three girls
and a boy started out to go fishing at
Lake Chabot. We got all the fish we
wanted and started on the path that
went through the woods around the
lake. All went well for a time, but
after a while, to our dismay, we found
that we had lost the path! The bushes
and trees got thicker, and lucky it was

grass. wild flowers bloomed and threw
their scents about us, and the birds
from the lofty tree tops seemed to
carol their sweetest songs for us.
The teachers and most of the mothers
threw themselves on the grass, where
they could rest. and at the same time
watch the little ones at their play.
The older girls hunted and picked wild
blackberries, which grew in abundance,
while the boys went farther into the
woods to catch some fish fer our
lunch.
Everyone enjoyed himself thorough
ly, and when II o'clock came most of
the picnickers declared themselves en-
tirely famished. So the eighth grade
girls (there were but four of us) took
the six tablecloths which had been
brought and spread them in two rows
like three tables each on the grass.
On them we set all kinds of delicious
things-sandwches of all sorts, salads,
cold chicken, the fish which had been
caught by the boys and cooked on
bonfire by some of the mothers, pickles,
olives, jams, jellies, cookies, fruits and
cakes.
We all ate as much as we could, and
/ heard some boys regret the fact that
they had eaten so much-when the
surprise came. The surprise was in
the form of two five-gallon freezers of
ice cream, which one of the fathers
had secretly sent by his wife. You
may be sure we were delighted with
this surprise.
After lunch we gathered ferns, daisies
and other wild flowers, and hunted for
four-leafed clovers until 4:30 o'clock,
when we started for home.
Several of the little children fell
asleep on the way home, although L
know not how they managed to sleep
through all the noise and commotion
made by the rest of US.
We arrived home tired, but happy
Just as the big red sun was sinking
in the west, lingering only to bid us
good night. Your loving niece.

Seems IL that pig was /.
She tells OF animals and girls,
And every one did wrong.
