A Newsboy's Morning.
“Tinkle, tinkle!” goes tlie alarm clock at four-thirty a.m. It. matters little about the cold—but. hark, the rain is making a steady pitter patter on the roof. It is pitch dark and raining. I spring out of lied, dress, and drink my coffee, and am soon off in tlie pouring rain. Icy cold rain—that’s quite usual. But afterward, soaking wet (even through my gumboots), I return to Home and a steaming bath. That’s winter!— Dad’s Cobber (14), Carterton. Tom Thumb. As the weather has been wet, I have not been able to ride my friend, a small Shetland pony. He is rather fat and very lazy. His name is 9’olll Thum!.', ’roiii has short mane, legs and tail and is very knock-kneed.- -Singing Water (10), Masterton.
