LETTER FROM UNCLE OSCAR

These are times that put our last
summers religion to test-when the
blizzard reigns supreme outside and the
kiddies must play indoors and every
thing in the house is turned upside
down, our hat is lost. our gloves are
misplaced, our collar and tie are found
on the floor, the paper is torn up before
we find time to read it, and everything
we look for has been moved from its
accustomed place, and instead we find
dolls, broken tin horns, wrecked auto
or some dirty building blocks.
Only short time ago was hurrying
to get ready for Sunday school. A clean
shirt couldn't be found; the drawer
where my collars were kept was filled
with dolls and other toys. In my hurry
ran over chair and prematurely re-
cited my Sunday school lesson. Finally
| got together enough things to make
out with and as started out / ran by
the box where clean handk kerchiefs were
kept and rammed one in my pocket
The teacher was absent that day and
was asked to take his place. Just as
had gotten up before the school felt
an, urgent need for my handkerchief,
and when had taken it out and unfurled
it, 10 and behold it was large dolls
pctticoat!
Now the kids don't mean any harm,
but they can always be depended upon
to say or do the least unthought of
thing and at the wrong time. This re-
minds me of when l was young man
and "kinder sprucin" around, | called
on young lady who had just been en-
gagged in dressing her little sisters doll.
A complete outfit had been made, in
clud!ng becoming little hat of which
the little girl was very proud Shortly
after my arrival the little tot came into
the parlor carrying the newly dressed
doll with the neat little lace hat. "What

cnt there is no snow upon the ground,
the clouds have all vanished and every
soldier seems to be enjoying the latest

us by the British and French officers

of the day is spent in athletics.
The health at this park is good.
