One summer 1 visited my friend, Sara,

porches were covered with climbing roses
Sara was climbing down from a pecan

One day we went to the peach orchard.

After hearing his story Bert and Arthur
promised never to say q word about 1t to

had come.
Then they all had fine supper. for the

Our Trip.

By Helen Koepsel Endicott Neb., Aged
10 Years, Red Side.
We live near Los Angeles, CAL, and came
to my aunt's to visit.
We came around by FL Paso.
After we started we saw orange groves,
English walnuts, apricots and peaches.
Soon we came to the desert in California.
There was an occasional town with
sometimes a depot and other times a depot
and two OF three houses, mostly adobe.
In Arizona, as in New Mexico and Cali
fornia it was desert but here there were
many cactus
After about a day in Arizona we reached
FL Paso. Before we got there we saw the
tents in which the Mexican soldiers had
camped. From FL Psso we saw the Mexi-
can town of Juarez. where many OF the
battles were fought.
On the train met a girl who had gath
cred broken shells from the ground after
the battle. She also had been through the
Mexican army

Bluffs, Neb. Blue Side.
Once there was a very poor family They
had very old house which they lived in.
The lady, whose name was Mrs. Brown,
had four children. The cildren's names
were John, Betty and Jimmy, and the
baby's name was Rose. The baby was
only l year old.
John went to the woods to get wood
every day to burn in the winter.
Jimmy would like to have had drum,
but he took an old tin pan and two sticks
to pound it with. Betty had a doll, which
was made out of rags.
One day as John was walking in the
woods he found a pocketbook. He soon
found out that It was Mrs. Smiths pocket
book. She gave them $50. Mr.. Smith gave
them a nice house in the country.
John does not have to go to the woods
to get wood. He has a nice pony now.
Betty has large doll with a silk dress
now. She takes it to bed every night
after they have had their new. beds.
Jimmy has a new drum Rose has new
gocart to sit and sleep in. Rose also has
q little rubber doll and doll bed.
