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.” Lula Dey, Pelham, Ga.; Clara Reanse, Doles, Ga.: Nonie Isler, Leary, Ga.; “Deadwood Dick,” “Spooney Snooks,” “Thomas County Crackling,” Dinah Bangs, “Cotton Picker,” and Ella Pee ples are the unfortunate oces whose let 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.] 3
