Byron Miller wrote such a sweet
(but sad) letter not long ago; he
gave US girls and boys such good
advice. We should do as he tells us
because he knows he has expert
enced it all, you see. l am sure we
who have mothers and fathers don't
realize how sad it is to lose them, so
we ought to take Byrons advice.
My whole heart almost melts into
tears while reading his letter. Oh,
how good that older brother of his
must be to do and care so much for

A TEN-YEAR-OLD COUSIN.

Dear Aunt Addy and Cousins:
VIII You admit g stranger into your
happy band Of boys and girls?
am a little boy ten years old I live
on a farm and like farm life fine.

sonian but my uncle does. I have
one brother and no sister; my broth
er's name is Claud. 1 do like to read

ONE OF THE VERY BEST LET.
TIERS [ HAVE RECEIVED.

Dear Aunt Addy: Here | come
again. l guess all of you Cousins
have forgotten me by this time. l
am a great admirer of The Jeffer-
sonian and the Postcard Club.
l saw in the last weeks issue
letter from little Mollie Il. Willis, Of
Der of the P. C. G.. and S. S. 3. to
send her one dime to help publish
her book. Cousins, remember the
motto which Aunt Addy gave us, and
let one and all send their mite to
our little shut-in friend Let US
send rays Of sunshine to the poor
and afflicted.
l agree with Aunt Addy about
boys staying on the farm. [ am
farm boy and am likely to remain
so. Just think how beautiful the
farm is; let US find pride in beaut-
flying the home; make it as attrac-
tive as possible; let there be no place
like home. Boys, let us have some
thing Of our own to look after, if it
is nothing but small patch Of
corn, cotton, Or poultry. | think
bees are very nice to have They
are very industrious little creatures;
all they ask Of you is a home, they
soon pay you for your trouble. /
am glad to see SO many nice letters
being written to the P. G.. G. /
think it would be much nicer for the
Cousins to write to our shut-in
friends. I know all the Cousins
would like to help Lonnie enjoy his
watermelons this summer. l will
agree with you, Lonnie, about the
Watson melons; they are excellent.
Miss Jennie, your letter was fine, and
l think you will hear more from the
boys. l fully agree with you about
the boys learning to cook, but the
girls seem more Interested about
the boys learning to cook than they
do themselves, but | reckon it is be-
cause SO few Of us know how l like
house work to some extent.
I will close Gas my letter is get
ting rather long, by wishing Aunt
Addy and all the Cousins much sue
cess. Your Cousin, HORACE VIII
