But the heavy door had now shut tight; She beat upon it with all her might. The kind mother let the runway In. She was wet from her feet to lier chin. “Have you had enough of the rain,” mother said; ^ "Oh, yes. dear mother, please put me to bed.” —Philip Newsom, North Bend, Neb.

My brother got on his horse, which was a new one and had never been In the pasture. My pony did not like it. We started down the road. Roxie, the pony, stayed back behind and would not go. After a while we came to a hill and my brother said he would make him go. So 1 got off and he gave me a rope to put around Roxle's neck. Then I gave the rope to my brother and he tied It to the saddle horn. Then my brother started down the hill on the run. At the draw ( he stopped and let me go on the pony. At the next house a dog ran out. Roxie jumped and I fell off of him. Then again my brother put the rope around Roxie’s neck. He tied Roxie up so close that every step Roxie took my leg would hit the other horse. All at once Roxie gave a jump and got loose. I rode to the next hill and then told my brother that I was going to go ha< k. So I turn-d around. Roxie start ed to run down the bill. Roxie dumped me off and my hat blew away. 1 took Roxlef and tied him to a post and iny brother brought Roxie back home. When he got there he gave Roxie a whipping.
