Her parents were very rich and they
lived in Chicago.
One day as they were sitting at
the table her father said: Mother,
what would you say if we would take
a trip TO California and go to see our
cousins in Sar Francisco"
1T would suit me, but what would
we do with Clara"
Obi we would take Clara with us,
couldn't we?"
Why, surely, she will g6 with
us"
So within a week the started out
their journey to California. First
they went to Davenport, Ia; then to
Des Moines, Ia, and stopped there
for dinner. Then they went to

By Leta Thorne, Aged 10 Years,
23O2 Avenue B, Council Bluffs,
la. Red Side.
George Washington was the leader
in the revolutionary war. He was
FIRST in war, first iii peace, first in the
hearts Of his countrymen.
His father had taken a great deal of
pride in his blooded horses, and his
mother was very much interested in
them, too. There was one bay horse
that had not yet been broken, and was
very risky. No one had been able
to do anything with it.
George was determined to ride it.
He told his companions that if they
would help him catch it he would ride
and tame it. They got up early in
the morning and went to the pasture.
They caught the colt and put a bit in
its mouth. George got on it and
away it went. The horse kept back
ing about the field; the boys became
frightened, but Washington kept his
seat. Suddenly the horse leaped into
the air and fell dead. 1t had burst a
blood vessel. y
Just then they were called to
breakfast. Mrs. Washington said
she hoped the colt was we'll taken
care Of. The boys looked at one an.
other, but not one of them had the
courage to speak. Then she asked
them again, and George said:
"He is dead; l killed him"
Then he told her the whole story
At first she was angry, but finally
she said quietly:
Il am glad my son always speaks
the truth"

One day last fall my brother and |

We went to the house and got some
traps, and going back set about seven
or eight Of them, covering them
well.
The next morning we got up early,
saddled our horses and started out.
The first trap did not have anything
in it, and when we went over the hill
to the next one no trap could be
found We then went down the
canyon little further and there, tan
gled up in the weeds, was a skunk
We killed it, carried it home and then

As | have not written to this page
for some time will tell you about
Valentine party.
Once upon time there was lit
tie girl whose parents were rich.
Across the road from the rich girl
was a little hut, in which lived a
woman and her child, who was an
invalid. They were very poor and
the woman would go out every morn
ing at 6 o'clock to work. She was
scrubwoman and it was hard work
and poor pay.
1t was nearing Valentine day and
the rich girl was going to have a
party. She had all Of the invitations
made out and ready to mail. But one
was missing, that Of the poor girl.
When Valentine day arrived the
mother put the invalid beside the VIM
dow so she could watch the children
across the road in their merriment
However, she was not forgotten.
About 4 o'clock she saw the children
disappear in the house and then re-
turn with a bundle and a crown made
Of imitation flowers.
Could she believe her eyesi Sure
enough, they were coming in the
gate and UP to the house. Before
she had time to think the children
bounded into the house and placed
the wreath upon her head and began
to pile valentines in her lap. She
was so astonished and happy that
she could not speak.
The invalid was never unhappy
after that, because the children took
turns going to see her and wheeling
her about in her invalid's chair.

ties and sticks.
Some OF the children played while
