at the door and they were all alone.
Away they went, as fast as they could

the house, they were not large, and the
boy jumped over and fell headlong on
the ground. The one at the door was
their aunt. Another day papa and my
Uncle John were down in the cellar and
Of course they were having a time. and
upset their mothers cream. Away they
went up tho steps and into the corn field
as fast as they could go. Just as they
were going up the corn row, there was a
well in the corn field, and Uncle John
fell in. Papa had to pile up logs to get
him out. He was surely frightened and
fell in so sudden that papa nearly died.
1 do not know whether they told their
mother or not but che found 1t out later.

defended our border, saving the lives Of
hundreds Of settlers. In all the cam
paigns the Pawnee scouts were at the
front. They knew the country through
years of buffalo hunting. They knew
the ways ana the camping grounds OF
their old enemies, the Sioux, Cheyennes
and Arapahoes. In their memories were
the old wars of their fathers, and the
blood of friends killed by a cruel foe.
Spurred by these memories, they led the
way to the hostile camps. They STAN
peded the enemy's ponies, fought bravely
in every battle and never stopped al
hunger or hardship i'm the long hard
rides. The story of the Pawnee scouts
and their service TO the people OF Ne
braska is one never to be forgotten.

people were taken by surprise. This wal

Float away the autumn leaves,
For God most always takes them

So people lost their glory
When lost things float far and near
So let this teach you lesson
do not spend a foolish sum,
So that we lose our leaves and blossoms
For a cold, cold winter will come"
