YOUNG FOLKS’ CORNER.
THEY DIDN’T THINK.
BY' PHIEBE CARY.
Once a trap was baited
With a piece or cheese;
It tickled so a little mouse
It almost made him sneeze.
An old rat said, “There’s danger—
Be careful where jou go!”
“Nonsense.” said the other.
“I don't think von know!”
So he walked in boldly;
Nobody in eight.
a Fit st he toek a nibble,
Then be took a bite.
Close the trap together
Sharped as quick as wink,
Catching mousy fast there,
’Cause he didn't think.
Once a little turkey.
Fond of her own way,
Wouldn’t ask the old ones
Where to go or stay.
She said, ‘ I’m not a baby
Here I am half grown;
Surely I am big enough
To run around alone 1 ’
Oft she went; but somebody
Hiding, saw her pass;
Soon, like snow her feathers
Covered all the grass;
So she made a sur per
For a sly young mink,
’Cause she was so headstrong
That she wouldn't think.
Once there was a robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go Inside
And hop upon the floor.
“No, no,” said the mother,
“You must stay with me;
Lit le birds are safest
Sitting in a tree I”
“I don’t care,” said robin,
And gave his tail a fling,
“I don’t think the old folks
Knew quite everything.”
Down he flew, and kitty seized him
Before he'd time to think.
“Ohl” he cried. “I’m sorry,
But I didn't think.”
Now, my little children,
Y-ou who hear this song,
Don’t you see what trouble
Comes from thinking wrong?
Can’t you take a warning
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late?
Don’t think there’s always safety.
Don’t suppose you know more
Than anybody knows
Who has gone before.
But when pou’re warned of ruin,
Pause upon the brink,
And don’t go under headlong,
’Cause you didn’t think.
Lula Valeria Linch writes us a real
nice letter. Come again, Lula, and may
be you won’t be crowded out next time.
Cousin Ella Peoples wants to corres
pond with some of our little friends
between sixteen and twenty years.
You’ll all like her; she’s an out and out
Alliance girl, and that is sufficient to say.
John Malone, Fayette, Ga., is one of
our subscribers and one of our most
practical and intelligent farmer boys.
He is a simon-pure Allianceman too,and
we only wish all were as steadfast and
true.
A number of our contributors send us
a scrap of poetry occasionally, for which
we return thanks. We always use it
with pleasure, and eladly note this evi
dence of their good taste and discrimi
nation.
We are indebted to Cousin A. M. G.,
Sylvania, Ga., for the cunning little
poem that heads our columns this week.
How do you all like it? I hope none of
you cousins will ever get into similar
predicaments, because “you didn’t
think.”

ters get pushed out this week. We are
sorry, cousins, but we can’t prevent it as
we have only two columns now and it is
impossible to print all the letters com
ing in from all over the Alliance country
each week. We wish you better luck
next time.
Nora J. Moring, Collins, Ga.—Dear
Bousin Dow: Not more welcome is a
shelter to a weary traveler, than the
Southern Alliance Farmer is to our
home.
I’ve been thinking of knocking for ad
mittance into your merry little band for
a long time. But some how have never
had enough courage until now.
My papa is a stiong Alliatceman. I’m
going to join when I’m old enough. I
think the farmers are the most honest
people in the world. I am a farmer’s
daughter, and if I live to be a woman I
hope to be a farmer’s wife.
Cousin Dow; you asked us all what
good books we have read. I have read
“Pilgiims Progress,” “Little Women,”
“Children of the Abbey” and “Barriers
Burned Away.”
Cousins, I think you all ought to read
“Little Women;” it is such a good book.
Especially the girls, and it would not
hurt the boys.
I have no pets except a sweet little
baby sister, who is fourteen months old
and can speak several words very dis
tinctly.
Wishing you and the Southern Alli
ance Farmer great success I will
close.
[“Not more welcome is a Shelter to a
weary traveler” than your Tetter to the
Southern Alliance Farmer’s multi
tude es young folks, Nora. Come again.
-Ed.]
Willie S. Elliott, Covington, Ga.—
Dear cousins, as it has rained and made
the cotton too wet to pick I concluded I
would write to you all and let you know
the news. To tell you the truth there
isn’t Bny news with me but the cotton
patch. But I get to rest some. Igo to
church and Sunday school every Sunday.
I can plow, hoe and pick cotton, and do
most any kind of work on a farm. I
think all boys and girls should learn to
work,don’t you cousins? because it takes
work to make a useful man or woman.
How many boys wash dishes and churn?
I do for one and like it too.
Some of you boys will laugh I know;
that is all right. Some of the cousins
are debating over which is the most use
ful, the girl or boy, but I will not take a
hand in it. I went to school during lay
ing-by time. lam twelve years old.
Cousin Dow asked us how we made our
money. I have not made any this year,
but made about ten dollars last year
picking cotton. I would not like to
leave Georgia for Texas any more.
Cousin Dow, I wish you would come
and spend Chi stmas;with us. If so yon
will get more milk and butter than you
can eat. If you have no objection I will
call again in the future. Good bye for
this time.
[This is a nice letter from a helpful
and useful boy. We know he is the light
of his mothers eyes.—Ed ]
Central Boy, Monroe County, Ga.—
Dear Cousin Dow, I will be glad for you
to allow me a little space in your paper.
I have been reading the cousins letters
for a few weeks and have decided to
write. Papa is a strong Allianceman, he
takes The Southern Alliance Farmer
and he thinks it is a great paper.
Willie and Nannie Croft, Hatchers
Station, Ga.—Good morning, cousins:
Will you admit two sisters into your
charming band of cousins? We wrote to
you once before, but we guess a little -
mouse stole it to make it a bed for win
ter. Now, little mousey, if you will let
Cousin Dow print this one, w'e will write
you another to finish your bed before
the winter gets too cold.
Well, what shall we have first? We
will give you a faint description of our
selves: Willie’s weight is 120. Nannie’s
118. Our height is 5.7 each. We have
light hair, pale blue eyes and fair skin.
Willie’s age is eighteen, Nannie’s six
teen.
Our papa is a farmer and takes the
Alliance paper. We think it is the
grandest paper in the south, and when
ever it comes from the cfiice, the young
folks corner is the firsi thing we read—
then the home page. There is some
good reading there for us girls.
Well, we will tell you about our pets:
Their names are Presley and Johnnie.
This weeK Presley was sick and they
wanted him to take a dose of quinine.
He knew it was bad, and did not want
to take it. Johnnie tasted.it and said :
“Dood, Brother.” Did you ever know
anything to beat that?
.If you will print this we will come
again sometime.
Cotton Bagging, Stephensville, Ga.—
Dear Cousin Dow: Please allow one
more cousin to the young folks corner. I
see so many nice letters from the ceusins
that I want to join them too, but I hope
to find a better subject to write about
than fault finding with the boys and
girls. We have none of those trifling,
lazy boys and girls that so many of the
cousins speak about in their letters. Our
parents have trained us better.
Now, boys can’t you exchange your
ideas with each other on stock raising,
farming, etc. Let me hear from you in
your next letter. Tell me how you ma
nured, plonted and cultivated the patch
of cotton your father gave you, and the
results of your care and attention; also
the rearing and training of the colt he
trusted to your care. Give me your ideas
about pigs, lambs, chickens, turkeys and
geese.
Don’t get jealous girls, for I shall ask
you to tell mesonietliing of your useful
ness; fol when I get in arried I want a
good wife and I don’t want to he put to
much trouble to find her. So I hope you
will not be timid and speak out frankly
and tell me what you can do. Can you
cook a good meal of victuals and arrange
it tastily on the table, and look as clean
and neat as if you were looking for your
Sunday heart? Can you cut and fit your
own dresses, or cut and male a pair of
pantaloons that your father or your bro
ther would jfoel as comfortable in as
though they were made by a regular,
tailor? Can you starach and iron a nice
shirt, play on the piano or organ? If so
I know your mothers are proud of you
and your beaux will never cease to love
you.
Now girls, please quit tantalizing the
boys about their faults shewing tobacco,
smoking cigars and caring more for
some other boy’s sisters than they de
their own. Don’t hit them so hard and
they swill soon learn to do better.
[Cotton Bagging, your ideas are
bright, and your letter very suggestive.
I think the boys and girls will like it.—
Ed.]
Robert, Schley county, Ga.—Dear
Cousin Dow: After reading so many
interesting and nicely written letters in
the young folk’s corner, I decided I
weuld join the happy band if there is
room enough for one more boy.
I have never written to the corner
before, but have been thinking I would
for some time. Our corner is improv
ing very fast, and becoming the most
attractive part of the paper. I was glad
when the editor stopped the quarreling
business, for it is very unbecoming for
young folks, or old ones either, at any
time; but worse when they are no better
acquainted than we are. So let’s drop
this part of the question, and begin to
think of something that will be of more
benefit to us.
I don’t think the cousins read very
much; for the only mention they ever
make of reading is “I love to read The
Southern Alliance Farmer very
much.” Well, that’s a splendid thing
to read, but it doesn’t require all of
your reading time to read this paper,
doesit? Maybe you read some other
good paper. If so you should let us
hear from you on some of its best pieces;
for it may be that some of the cousins
don’t take it, or if they do, perhaps some
cf them are like myself, they don’t read
all of the news in them and they lose
this much. I expect newspaper reading
isn’t so much trouble to some of the
cousins as other reading is. Just think
of those dime novels which have cut you
short of so many good letters that you
would have read if it were not for them.
No doubt but what some of those who
have written to this corner have sat up
long winter nights until 10 or 11 o’clock
reading them, and the old Bible pushed
off on one corner of the table, not been
, opened in io long that you could have
written your name in the dust settled on
: its covers. Over on the other corner
, could be found a collection of books in
the same dusty condition, amon? which
could have been found The Life of
George Washington, Pilgrims Progress,
Royal Road of Life, and a good many
others equally as good. Perhaps a his
tory of the United States could have
been found there too. And it is doubt
ful whether these novel-readers could
have told you the name of our first pres
ident or not. Does this look like ever
making a useful man or woman? I will
leave this for the cousins to decide, as I
have stayed long enough for this time.
I will close with best wishes for all.
[Thhnk you, Robert, for this general
stirring up. No doubt you’re right. We
do not read altogether the b»oks we
ought to. The ones you mention iho‘
should be familiar to every boy and girl
reader of qur paper.—En.]
