UNCLE LEONARD.

Dear Juniors:
thought I would write about my
Uncle Leonard. ....
He lives in Garden Grove. He has
red hair and blue eyes. He is an in
surance agent. He has one little girl
with light hair and blue eyes. Her
name is Alerta. She is six years old.
One day when Alerta was little baby
there we're gypsies in the town and
her mamma, Aunt Della, was going
some place. She got baby ready and
left her lying in her buggy in the
room while she went into the kitchen
to lock the door. When she came in
baby buggy and all was gone. Uncle
Leonard slipped in the front way and
ran the buggy back into the bedroom
and hid When Aunt Della came into
the room and saw that she was gone,
she called "Alerta, Alerta," and looked
out the door and window. She did not
see her, so she sat down and cried
about the baby. Then Uncle Leonard
said, Here she is Della. Here she Is.
She's all right"
Then Aunt Della sat down and cried
for almost an hour. and Uncle Lonard
said he would not try that trick again.
Well, as my letter is getting long,
will close.

high quality of their Golden Shear

tisement interests me because I can
bake good biscuits. mullins, and so on.
In the Los Angeles Examiner, which
is one of the Hearst newspapers, I
saw these words, which referred to

don't care about Los Angeles, because

in the United States.

us, hit moved to Amoret, Mo-, this
spring. Millard's mamma would bring
him over to our house and about the
first thing he would do would. be to
get into mischief. He took great de-
light in three things. They were the
garbage pail, tho can where we 1our
the wash water, and the plants.
He would take my little brother,
Edwin's, playthings and put them In
the dirty water and then stir them
with his hand and get his sleeve all
wet. He could tumble all over the
floor and crack his head dozen times
without shedding q tear.
He liked my mamma pretty well
and when his mamma was busy and
he would be more mischievous than
usual, mamma would 60 over and Dor
row him while sister Blanche and l
were at school. r.
Edwin got SO attached to him be-
fore they left that he cried tor them
to come back home SO we could Dor.

FRITZ.

Has anybody seen my Fritz?
You may not think him pretty,
But he's the dog that love best
In country or in city.
His hairs a sort Of grizzly gray,
And not so very curly; q, .
But he can run like everything,
y And bark both late and early.
Sometimes he minds me very we'll;
And sometimes, when 1'call.
He only sits and wags his tail,
And does not, stir at all.
But the reason why he acts that way
ls very plain to see: +
Fritz doesn't know that he's my dog
He thinks that he owns me.
SO, though he has heap of sense,
'Twould be just like him, now,
TO think that I'm the one that's lost
And with great bow-bow
To 60 off hunting for his boy
Through alley, lane, and street,
While I am asking for my dog
OF every one I meet.
