Composition About
Lloyd
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
AS have never written to the Jun
Tor page before l thought would send
one Of my compositions. Lloyd was q
country boy and did not know much
about the city. One day he asked his
parents if he might go to the city to
work. His mother did not want him to
20, but he thought he must. At last his
mother said he might go. He was to
start the next Monday He was poor
oy and his room at home was furn-
ished with small bed. an old chair
and small table. When he got to the
city the first thing he did was to find
him a room. The room which he got
was very different to the one at
home This one had carpet nice
bed, two chairs and some pictures on
the wall. He found place in groc-
cry store and after he worked there q
week he became homesick and went
home. He said he did not like the city.

Two weeks ago Mr.. German brought
Beth, his little three year old girl, Out
here to see me and o say. we have
been having the jolliest time.
The first Friday evening her papa
went back to Topeka and he asked us
both what we wished him to bring us
We told him, so on Monday when ouI
mail came there was big box for us
We were anxious to see what he had
sent, so mamma hurried and opened II
and there was doll baby, q table
croquet set, bubble blowers and some
little yellow chickens and jumping
rope. There were no idle moments
then as we were very busy playing:
am going to school now and every
evening Beth and mamma come
to meet me.
Last Saturday afternoon we got ready
and went over to Mr.. Clinton's, then
we put our team on the carriage and
all went to town. We went to the pic
ture show in the evening.
Mamma has ~ hens setting now. We
have some chickens already.
I am in the second reader at school
and the spelling lessons are getting
harder now but have never missed a
word since have been going to school.
I received a nice book at Christmas
time for getting the most headmarks.
We are going to have a picnic in the
woods the last day Of school. Better
come over and go.
Papa Is getting his ground ready for
corn. We have 80 little tiny pigs and
little calf now.
Well, grandma, I must close now
