Dear Dad; Please write to me right now and tell me how to open that bank you gave me, because I've got to, and please tell me where you get stockens for mother too, I want to get some silk ones quick. You see, well it was mother's birthday yesterday and when we were out to Aurtt Lois'a for dinner she gave mother some stockens and dad they were grand, silk all up and grey with sort of lamp posts worked on each side. So when we got home mother put all her things out on the libery table like we do at Christmas, and when I came home from school this afternoon I was looking at the things and I just wondered how the stockens would look when you had them on so 1 tried it, and then Bill Hadley hollowed for me to come out because they were starting a ball game, and I guess I sort of forgot about the stockens. I got first bat and say dad. I knocked a good one, it was a three bagger for sure, but George Brooks was catching and he can't do anything, so I thought I could make a homer and I did, too, but I had to slide in and then the fellows got to argueing about it so I had to show them how I did it, and then they saw my stockens. They all began to laugh and George called me a sissy, and dad we had an awful fight. He would'nt take it back, so I had to rub his face with leaves and things, because we were there on the commons, and finally I pulled up a big sciuashy fishen worm with some

weeds and I was going to make himl

eat it, so he took it back. 1 went home with Bill to get cleaned up some, and dad those stockens had long ladder stripes of holes going all up and down. 1 tried to sew them up but I guess mother could have told anyhow they were a little dirty where George and I had rolled around some before I got him down. And so dad, I guess I better get some new ones right now. When I got home, mother asked me if I had seen her stockens and I told her I had taken them over to show Bill, and I had, hann't I, dad, so mother said all right, but to remember to bring them home. And I was just thinking dad, if you don't mind I guess you better send the special delivery letter over to Bill's house, and I'll be looking for it there. Now dad, please hurry because you know how it is. Jimmie G. P. S. I got the red roses for mother like you saidll right, dad,

and I gave them to her after we got home last night, when she was sitting in the council chair, because that's when we talk about you most. And dad, I guess she liked them, pretty much. Jimmie G.

A LITTLE ANT. A little ant found a large grain of wheat. Too heavy to lift or to Toll; So he begged of a neighbor be happened to meet, To help him down in his hole, 'Tve got my own rock to see after," said he. "You must shift for yourself, if you please." So he crawled off as selfish and cross as could be, And lay down to sleep at his ease. Just then a black brother was passing the road, And seeing his neighboring ant, Came up and assisted him with his load, For he was a good-natured ant. Contributed by Alice Brenman.

RIDDLES. 1. What fruit grows on a telegraph wire? 2. What is the difference between a Dutch dude and a piece of stove pipe? 3. Why do old maids wear mittens? 4. When were walking sticks first mentioned in the Bible? 5. When is a cow not a cow? 6. What headlines prove the most sensational to women? (Answers next week.) Susan Campbell. Greensfork, Ind.
