wounds.
What was our surprise when we
found that it had been shot! We care
fully dressed Its wounds and after it
was well enough to fly, which was after
a few days, we let it go free.
From that day on some of us have
established a little hospital and when
ever any animal or creatures were hurt
we cared for it until well.

GRANDSON SENDS VALENTINE
Dear Aunt Laurie:
(in Valentine's day my grandmother
received a valentine. It had a little
verse on it. It was very pretty and
my grandmother thought lots of it.
She said: "I wonder who sent it to me.''
She kept thinking, but she could not
think when- it came from. About a
week later she received a letter. It
read:
"St. boulfl, Mo., Feb. 2S, 1898. —Dear
Grandma: 1 have sent you a valentine.
] hope you think it is all right. 1 am
well as usual. I am having a good
time. Your grandson, TOMMIE."
When she got through reading it I
thought of my brother in St. Louts, lie
was working in a machine shop. My
grandmother said: "I had no idea it
was Tom. did you?"
I said. "No, I did not think it was
from him."
My grandmother sat down and
wrote to T.m that stir was much
obliged for the valentine.

J (car Aunt Laurie:
One time my grandmother sent me a'

A week after Valentine's day I went
to my grandmother's place and stayed
there" a long Urge. While I was there
she showed me all the valentines and

SEES INTERESTING COMET
Dear Aunt. Laurie:
One day three girls and I went on a
high hill to Bee the comet. We had to
wait about an hour and twenty min
utes. When it came it was very faint.
After a while it came out plain. It
looked like a star with a plum at the
ton. The next night I went out in our
yard. It looked like a searchlight. It
is comet A 1910.
