KENTUCKY BELLE.

The Civil War was going on in the
United States at the time this poem
was written. Conrad was OH his way
to town TO sell our first load of hay.
We were very poor and lived in log
house. which stood in broad corn
the horse, which we called Kentucky
Belle. at home. We thought there
wasn't horse TO be found like her
had come North from the Blue
Grass country with Conrad. ! was
treated very kindly by the old folks,
but l kept longing TO go back to
Tennessee. l like to see the water
and hills because ii made me think
of the Blue Grass country. When !
got sick we moved out OF the corn
field to the river shore and now I
like just as we'll as Tennessee.
one morning when l was hard at
work ] heard some one come riding
very fast up the road. II was Farmer
Routh's little boy. He was riding bare
back and had no hat. "Morgan's men
are coming" he said. 81 I'm sent to
warn the neighborhood; he isn't far
behind and is taking every horse he
can find"

her down in the gully and hid her
in the bushes. Then ! ran to the house
and stood in the door. Soon ] heard
the sound of horses hoofs. and l knew
Morgan was near. They were pushing
east to the river. which was many
miles away. Morgan rode in the front.
His eyes were like Goals as he gave
me glance. Suddenly one OF the
troopers stopped and asked for a drink
of water. was nearly scared 10

kept him there with me.

brought up kentucky Belle and gave
bluegrass country. When the boy
went away he thanked me, and as
went back TO the house my heart began
10 swell, because l had given away

PIE INDIANS.

When the white people first come
over here they found the Indians here.
The Indians were tall and slender.
They had copper-c olored skin. high
cheek bones, broad. fiat noses and
fierce locking eyes. The men have long
black. smooth hair. Their hair is long
on one side and cut off short on the
other The Indians are and would do
evil for evil: they are brave. The
men cont work very much. they make
the women work. The men hunt and
hsh to make their living. They live
in wigwams made of poles. which are
joined together at the top. and are
covered over with skin of animals.
The wiSwams have r hole at the top
for the smoke TO go through. They
fight with bows. arrows, tomahawks
and clubs. They used TO get behind
rocks or trees and when their enemies
come by they rushed out and tried
to kill them. They didn't have much
education: they didn't have any
schools like we have. They were very
wise in sight and hearing.
