Real Fun.
A toad mother sent her small boy into the country for a holiday, and after a week of anxiety received the following reassuring letter:— Dear Ma, —1 got here all right, and I forgot to write before. It is a very nice place to have fun. A fellow and I went out in a boat, and the boat tipped over, and a man got me out, and I was so full of water that I didn’t know nothing for a long time. The other boy is to be buried when they find him. His mother came down from her home, and she cried all the time. A hoss kicked me over, and I’ve got to have some money to pay the doctor for inending my head. We are going to set an old barn on fire to-night, and 1 am not your son if we don't have some fun. I lost my watch, and I am sorry. I shall bring home some snakes and a tame cow, if I can get them in iny trunk. I've got a box of frogs already.—Your son, Willie.
