A FOOLISH hoy.

Once there was little boy named
John. His mother sent him to his
grandmothers one day When he got
ready 10 20 home. his grandma gave
him some butter to carry home. 1t was
n very hot day. and 1t began to run
over the little boys hand. and he put
1t in his cap. When he got home the
butter was streaming down his face.
His mother said: THAT isn't the way to
do butter. You should wrap It up,
and when you reached the creek, put It
in and cool It,"
The next day his grandmother gavo
him puppy. He wrapped It up, and
when no reached the creek he put the
puppy in the water. When he reached
home tho puppy was dead. His moth
er said; Now you cannot ever go to
your grandmother's again by your
self." MARTHA LOVING

The very next day after school closed
my mother had the misfortune to fall
down the back stairs and hurt her left
arm very badly, and was laid up for ten
days before she could use IL at all, but
fortunately my baby brother. who was
in her arms at the time OF the acct

busy while mother was sick. and she
promised me when she was better she
would let mo have holiday. AS soon
mother was able we moved to n
place on the suburbs, where we could
have a nice yard for us children to
play IN.
Well. my holiday came at last. a
friend OF ours carried me to the coun

MY VACATION.

When school was out It was nearly
time for berries to be ripe When
they did get ripe I picked and sold
about $40 worth. About the lst OF
August | went to visit my cousins n
week. When came home tomatoes
were ripe. and as I had an order for
some canned ones, I spent two weeks
canning tomatoes
The following week went to n
house party that one OF my fsiends
gave When 1 returned home I found
other work awaiting me. Dried peas
were ripe. and I set to work to gather
them at 90 cents n hundred pounds,
this being rather back breaking ar

made artificial backs. as well as teeth
On the 10Th of September my school
