Letters from Little Folks of Happyland
r. (Prize.)
A Rainy Day.
The rain came down in a sheet,
But soon it changed to sleet.
The schools were cloBed that after
noon.
But they were going to open soon.
Betty Jane at the window stood,
Already she had put on her hood.
"I am going out to play,” she said.
“Instead,” said iter mother, "You'll
good to bed.”
Betty Jane said never a word,
But soon from her place by the
window she stirred.
And putting on her clothes of red
Out the door she quickly sptd.
The icy rain upon her face heat;
Then she longed to make a retreat.
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.”

At School
At school we made a sod house.
We chopped off s<*1 on the bank.
We built the sod about two feet
high. Then we laid board* on top
of the sod. After we put boards on
top of the sod we put hay. Then
we laid big pieces of sod and boards
on top of the hay. Then we took
a gunny saek and Ailed it with
^ brush and thistles and hung it over
the dior so nobody i-ouid get in.—

A Ride on the Ground.
One day my brother and I went
for a ride. 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.
Roxie reared up at my brother —

Jack Frost.
Jack Frost is a merry old soul,
lie bites all of cur nows and sting'
our toes,
So don't you think he is a wise old
man
To put ice on the window so we
cannot, see him come?
And then we would feel badly if
Jack decided to hide.
For most of our fun b on our sled*
trying to slide.
Ho cover up our noses and dear
little toe*.
And welcome Jack Frost in spi'e of
our wo»s.
Of course, in the winter, our
flowers we miss.
But then we must realize if Ja< k
gives them a kiss.
Their nose* and toes would be frot t
bitten so,
We would rather welcome them next
season.
If couise. poor vegetables that make
our nice soup
Give a frown when they hear Jack
come with a whoop.
But then my Daddy is making a
nice new can to put them in
B> fore the arrival of the ice man.
