Clearwater, Minnesota.
My home is on a farm a mile and a half from the banks of the Mississippi. In the winter, men go out hunting deer. In spring, there are lots of geese, and there are plenty of wolves too, which come prowling around to catch our hens and chickens. We have forty little chickens. We have had a great many strawberries this summer. My kitten has four perfectly white feet. He is a fine mouser, and catches both mice and squirrels. His name is Major. School closed a week ago. I had two pieces to speak, and two to sing. I am twelve, and my sister is eight years old.

I am eleven years old. I have got three rabbits, five ring-doves, and two little white kittens. The Chicora and City of Toronto run two trips each from here to Toronto every day except Sunday.
I have an uncle out in the Rocky Mountains. He is coming home soon.
I like Jimmy Brown's stories very much.
