I have taken HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE for almost a year. I like it
very much. I look every week to see what new trouble has befallen
poor Jimmy Brown, and if I were his sister I would make him a
jacket and stuff it with feathers. I can hardly wait for the papers
to come, so as to hear what has become of Rita and Ni-ha-be. I have
lived almost all my life in the valleys of Idaho. There are many
beautiful sights here, such pretty flowers grow in valley and
mountain. One kind grows right near the edge of the snow, away up
the mountain-side. One can step right from the blossoms to the
snow.
I wish I could have a good school to go to, like so many little
girls of my age. I have attended school but nine months in my life.
My mother teaches me at home. I have two horses all my own and a
saddle, and can ride splendidly, mamma says. I am twelve years old.
