Ln Interesting Letter From One of Abbeville's Boys in Arizona. Nogales, Arizona. Jnly 30th, 1906. My de?r Mama and Papa, While my friend Jack is taking a nap will try and sketoh an outline of my trip rom Abbeville to Nogales, Mexico. I could rrlie for four years and only tell half. I will start with the first state, South Carolna, the grandest In the Union with her fruit >rchards, cotton, corn and oat fle'ds for miles ,na mnes, a sigut long 10 remember, and her lttie cities dotted here and there with lovely bade trees. Then next comes Georgia wltb ter peacb orchards. As faraB yon travel brough tbe state you cau smell the fragrant mell of tbe fruit of wblob sue Is noted. And lelds of grain and cotton, pastures of cons md horses Is a ploture for anyone Ip look at. After we travel through Georgia we enter Alabama, tbe home of Jefferson Davis, and I im sure any Southerner would feel proud to lave tbe pleasure to travel through tbe dear >ld state. She Is noted also for her oattie alslng and vegetables of all kinds, tbe scenery Is grand, for miles and miles notblng but ;raln. Tben as we leave Alabama, down In he Southern part, we strike Louisiana, tbe itate of swamps a flat, low, unhealthy coun,ry. They raise nothing bat rice, still tbe -lee fields are beautiful, some were flooded vblle others were not, and Rice Factories ~| ivery few miles. Bat tbe grandest sight is hs h ?ou enter Gulf Port, we crossed tbe Pearl | ttlver eight times In the course of two mllex. ? [t is about a mile wide everywhere and B Liakes here and there that are blue with the X )ld time water lilies. A blue mase, from a I ilstance looks like a blue sheet thrown across J .be Lake with diamonds scattered over It. rhe lilies are so thick you can see tbe water rery seldom. That grand sight nature has dui on tbe earth for ones eyes to feast on. \ As we leave Gulf Port lor twenty miles we ravel again in swamps, notblng to Bee but 25 Weeping Willows loaded down with grey -No dobs, It reaches from tbe top to tbe bottom. Stc Then we reach New Orleans the largest city n the South. We strike the famous Mlssiss- ? ppi River where a Terry boat Is awaiting for yol ,be whole train to roll od. "Now lor a boat be lde" oi six miles and tben it strikes tbe allroad again and as we pull ofl of tbe boat r iud on land again we start travelling on that ;reat railroad tbe Southern Paclflo, wltb Its ;rand chair cars to make you as comfortable is possible, wltb tbe speed of sixty miles an lour, wltb its doable beaded engines that turn oil, tbey don't know what coal Is. And >ow we are travelling through Mississippi vltb its swampy fleldB oi rloe. m Tben we enter tbe Lone Star State, Texas, L ind here Is where your oattie ranches start, 3 lothiog but mules, horses, sheep, goats and >190, and tben tbe prairies with the cow boys vlth their big bats minding their oattie. You - ? lave often beard tbe old saying, "there Is a /L9 lack sheep In every flock v well, I saw there vas one solid black one in every flock ot , , beePAs we left Del Rico, Texas we follow tbe ", tlo Grande for three miles. Tbe bank of this reat river was built by tbe Indians hundreds Pfcr nd hundreds of years ago, and now and tben ou could see a cliff where they dwelt and ome of the rocks had Indian heads, their ? ods whom tbey worshipped, a sight TJo ong to remember.

Now we reach New Mexico wltb Its iarren deserts and lofty mountains. All the ggr ieople make their living by mining. Some f the richest copper mines in the world are I n New Mejclco. Then we leave Jsiew Mexico nd reach Arizona the state ot crfttle raocliog, oil wells and copper mines.

Johnny Whippen wanted a watch on Mb birthday arid wanted everybody to know he wanted it. For weeks in advance at breakfast, lunch and dinner he told hla father, mother, sisters and brothers how ho yearned for the timepiece. His persistent harping on the matter finally became unbearable to the other members of the family. When Johnny mentioned the word ''watch," they became severely silent. But Johnny kept right on. One evening ho was sitting in the drawing room with his father and concluded it was a good opportunity to do a little lob bying for himself. . "Say, pa." "Pa" laid down his paper on the table and looked sternly at the boy over his spectacles. "Now, Johnny, I am going to put my foot down on any more of this watch ;lk. You aro making life a burden fov ti rest ] of us. So, If you were intending toa*k ( me about the watch, you had.bettor not' ] say anything further. Don't let mo hear ( the word again." j Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated, j It was the custom in the Whippen family ] for each member to quote a verse of Scrip- ( ture at family worship each morning. The day following Mr. Whippcn's ultimatum tho family met for worship. It was Johnny's turn to quote a verse. He waited until he was sure all present were attentive, and then ho slowly repeated with great emphasis the following verse: "What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." Johnny wears it in his top vest pookct. ?Buffalo News. A Patient Patient. Flossie's doll was a very patient little tiling. It never cried or screamed or made any trouble. It was just as content with a bed en the floor as in the crib. One day Flossie thought Dollie was sick, and of course she felt very badly about it, and hardly knew what to do. A happy thought' came to her. She dressed hastily and took Dollio to get some medicine. She found Dr. Guy In his office, but all ready to ride out. He gave her some medicine and promised to call and see her. Flossie was very glad for his cheering words and the medicine. Dollie was soon better and haa not needed any medicine since.?Our Little Folks' Magazine. A Strange Pet. Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept by? man was a wasp which Sir John Lubbock caught in the Pyrenees and resolved to tame. He began by teaching it to take its meals on his hand, and in a very short space of time it grew to expect to be fed in that way. Sir John preserved this pet with the greatest care. True, it stung him once, but thep it had every excuse for doing so. Sir John was examining it while on a railway journey, and, the door being opened by a ticket collector, he unceremoniously stuffed it into a bottle, and the outraged Spaniard, not feeling quite at home during the process, gave him a gentle reminder as to the proper way to treat a guest. A Great Hearted Little Man. Tiiere is an s-year-oia Doy ra jcanpona with a heart in him as big as a man's, Bays a Kansas exchange. Observing for successive days another boy 6 years old carrying big bundles of clothes, which his mother washed in order to earn a support for him and her, an idea struck him that a nice little red wagon would lighten his burden. So he went among his friends and collected $1.60 in nickels, and with this he bought the little wagon and gave it to the washerwoman's boy for a Christmas gift. The Robin'* Red Breajit.
