live children that left two weeks
before! They talked of nothing but the good times they had had. One
little fellow, thinking to surprise us, said, "I seen a cow!" All of
them fared well, and particularly enjoyed the "good country milk."
When they came back, many wore better clothes than they had gone
in, and all were laden with good things for the home folks. One boy
carried under each arm a "live" chicken,--special gifts for his
mother!

Now, if some of your readers in the country follow the example of
these Pennsylvania people, they will know what it is to be downright
happy; for every person who has had anything to do with this
enterprise feels happy about it, and longs to do it again, and more
besides.--Yours truly,

C.B.
