RUTH.

Ruth was a little girl 10 years old but
she was disobedient. She would not
mind a word her parents would tell
her. In the year of 1909 her mother died
the day before Christmas. She did not
get anything for Christmas because
they were very poor and only Ruth
and her father were at home. Ruth had
hardly any friends so her father sent
her to live with her grandma. Her
grandma was a nice woman and liked
Ruth very much but Ruth did not like
her.
Her grandma got her many nice
presents but this made Ruth still
worse One Saturday afternoon there
were eight of the school girls who went
by Ruth's grandma's house when Ruth
was sweeping the floor. They asked
Ruth to go with them to the woods to
spend the afternoon. Ruth said she
would ask her grandma If she might
go with them. Her grandma said she
could go as soon as she had swept the
floor. The girls said they would wait
for her if she would hurry. Ruth swept
the dirt under the hearth rug and went
with the girls. They got to the woods
and played a few games when Ruth
said she was sick and was going
her grandma to forgive her.
Her grandma said she knew what
Ruth had done. This made Ruth
ashamed Of herself and she has been a
nice girl ever since.

MY IDEA OF A VACATION

Dear Editor:
My idea of a vacation is to go out
camping. A large crowd started to
my cousins and I went too.
We arrived at my cousins about din
ner time, and ate our dinner. About l
o'clock we started with out tent and
many other things to go camping.
We went in automobiles and had
nice ride Of about four miles. We put
our tent up a few rods from the river
and sat some of the chairs inside OF
the tent and some outside. Some OF
the men put up some swings, ana
while we were swinging we saw rat
tlesnake, but we soon killed 1t with
some clubs.
Some of us girls got some fish
poles and went fishing. l caught one
fish that weighed ten pounds and l
was very proud of it. About this time
1t was getting dark and the women
were getting supper. Before supper
was ready Eva Lawson, Emma ana
Helen Meeserschmidt and my sister
and I set some traps out for game we
soon got back and ate our supper.
was very tired so / went to bed.
was awakened by terrible roar, ana
I got up to see what it was. 1t was
very dark and l thought l saw two
balls OF fire. I soon saw it was lion
and built bonfire and it ran away.
1 went to sleep until morning. We ate
our breakfast and l told the people
about the lion, and they said tnat
there were no lions in this country.
Then we went out and saw the
tracks, and one man had seen lion
tracks, and he said it was a lions
tracks. We then went to see our traps,
and there was lion there. 1t had each
one Of its feet in trap. We shot 1t
and all of us dragged it into camp.
The people were surprised. Then some
Of us girls got our bathing suits on
and went swimming and wading. we
stayed a week and then packed up to
go home We all had nice time.
l stayed at my cousins a week and
then went home. Then went to the
city and stayed a month. l saw many
things. BY this time | had to start to
school,

A VACATION AT HOME.

"Oh, father can we go?" Violet and
Lilly asked their father at the dinner
table.
No my daughters not this time. Mr..
Crone was going to New York where
he had store. Violet and Lilly got
up from the dinner table with very I'm.
happy faces because they could not 20
with their father for a vacation They
had never been to New York. SO Of
course wanted to 20.
A week after Mr.. Crone had gone to
New York, Lilly went to the postofice
to get the mail. And she got letter
addressed to her.
She could hardly wait until she could
break the seal. This is what she read:
Dear Cousin-We are coming down
to your house week from tomorrow.
49,. Your Cousins,
Gail and Fanny.
O how Lilly danced with glee.
She ran home as fast as she could t.
tell Violet. When they came they
thought they had better vacation
than they would have had in New
York.

A VACATION SPENT AT CAMP.

1t was on warm day in April that
about ten boys lay idling away their
playtime under large maple tree in
their school yard. They all went to
the same school in little village with
only few inhabitants.
On this day they were trying to plan
what to do during their coming vaca-
ton.
They finally agreed on going out in
the country little ways from where
they lived. The place where they
were going to camp at was a large
grassy strip of land with plenty Of
shade trees all around 1t. It was sit
uated not far from the river where
plenty of fish were to be found.
In May school was out and on the
18th, ten boys between the ages of
ten and sixteen, with two tents and
plenty Of provisions started on the way
to their camping place.
In the day time they did everything
imaginable; they played ball, roamed
over the hills, and many other things.
They all brought their Indian suits and
some times some of them would put
them on and fight with the ones who
didn't.
Their battles were all called "The
war between the whites and the reds
At night they would go to the river
and fish. At last when the first OF
keptember came they had made
friends with all the boys around there,
who often came to play with them.
On the first day of September they
played their last ball game at the
camp, and on the next day they had
their last roam over the hills and their
last battle between the whites and the
reds.
On the third they packed their
things and at about two O'Clock they
babe their friends goodbye and
started out for home.
They arrived at home about 4:30 and
few days later at about the same
time they left the camp, they were
lost in'the thought Of the happy days
in the. camp, as the school house doors
had opened again.

THE FUN IN THE COUNTRY.

One day lady friend of my ma
mas came to our house to spend the
evening. She had two little girls,
Leilah age five, and Catherine, age
two. Leilah had much fun and when
it came time for her to go home she
would not. She wanted to stay all
night.
Her mamma would not let her and
told her if she would go home she
would come again with her the next
afternoon. So Leilah went home feel
ing very bad.
The next afternoon sure enough, as
l was washing the dinner dishes In
stepped Miss Leilah. She played and
had much fun again, and again she
would not go home when the time
came, SO after some coaxing she got
to stay.
At once we brought her to her
room and she was contented. Then
we said we might have party In hon
or of her. Leilah was very glad OF
this and at once the lunch was made
ready and we started down through
the orchard to favorite spot. My
big sister Viola who was somewhat
like her went side by side.
All at once they gave a scream and
cried out, "A snake" 1t was very
large, vicious one. No men we're near
so mother killed it after some time.
Then we said we would have the
party there. We had our lunch, then
had the fun town children have in
the country. We then had supper and
after supper went to bed.
The next morning when we got up
we had breakfast and my sister went
to town and asked Leilah's mamma If
she could stay till that afternoon. She
did SO and that afternoon she went
home.

There she rests beneath the sod;
Yet in dreams seem to see ner
Grazing on the hills OF God.
Offer as the twilight darkened
All the path adown the hill;
And the crfckets from the orchard
One BIZ one began to shrill,
I could hear her from the thorn hedge
Whinny coadngly and low.
could hear her and would answer
In a way she used to know.
would tuck scarlet apple
In nv trousers pocket deep
And 20 bounding DER the paling
With single joyous leap.
All. seem to feel the saddle
fitting underneath me now;
And the breezes Of the morning
Playing on my boyish brow.
I can see the valley stretching
There beyond me faint and far,
While like shadows we are fitting
Past each country stile and bar
On and on in joy together;
On and on like flecks of foam
In the current of river
Ere we turn our faces home.
