On this particular afternoon Jimmy I
Wade was the proudest boy in town. |
The cause of his pride-I am sure he
will not object to my telling you
may be traced to tumble of reasons. |
To begin with, he had gained his |
teachers approval by having every |
one of his lessons. Then after school |
he had won twenty marbles from a |
best friend; had earned ten cents by |
going on an errand for Mrs. Grey;
and had received a real jack knife |
from his Uncle John, why he didn't |
know To add glory to success he
had taken down and sat on Sammy |
Brown, noted for his wrestling. Thus
Jimmy with his twenty marbles, ,
real jack knife, and heaps of salts
faction, went strutting down the |
street, whistling, his chin in the air, |
his hands in his pockets. He looked |
neither to the right nor the left and !
hardly recognized his school friends;
he was very busy contemplating what |
he would do with that ten cents.
The above is a description written |
by Miss Lilies nine-two pupils. We |
