much. I like the Post-Card Club and
Sunny South Brotherhood best. I
think the Sunny South Brotherhood
is a great help to the poor and crip
pled. I think all the people ought
to help the poor, don’t you, Daddy
Jim? Papa thinks Mr. Watson is one
of the greatest men in the world.
How many of the cousins like music?
I do. Now I will answer some rid
dles: The answer to Mamie Baker’s
is an egg; Joshua Neesmith’s is a
watch. Now I will ask some:
Round as a biscuit, deep as a cup,
all the king’s horses can’t pull it up.
The more you cut on it the longer it
grows. Little Nancy Eddingscott, in
a white petticoat, the longer she
stands, the shorter she grows. I will
close, for fear my letter will reach
the waste-basket. With great suc
cess to all, I am, Irene Clark, Atoka,

WILL TRY AGAIN.
Dear Daddy Jim: —Will you admit
a little Warren County girl into your
happy band? I am thirteen years
old, and in the seventh grade. I
live in the country and like country
life. I live a mile from town. Papa
takes The Jeffersonian, and I like to
read the children’s page. As this is
my first time, I will close by asking
and answering some riddles: The
answer to Mary Kirkland’s first one
is a man, his plow and mule; her
second one is a June apple. If these
are right, I will expect a post-card.
I will ask one: Why is a dog; like a
tree? If this does or does not escape
the waste-basket, I will try again.—
