ARIVACA, ARIZONA.

My brother takes YOUNG PEOPLE, and we both enjoy reading it very

much. We wish to tell you of our pony, which we all love dearly.

When we have ridden him, he always wants a piece of bread or some

sugar, and if we do not give it to him as soon as he is unsaddled,

he opens the side door by turning the knob with his lips. Should we

drive him away and shut the door, he immediately opens it again,

and stands by it until he gets his piece, when he will go off to

eat grass. He is very gentle and knowing. Our mamma writes this for

us, as we were afraid you would have too much trouble to study it

out if we wrote it.

LENA and CHARLIE B.

What a wise pony! He deserves a large piece of bread with sugar on it;

and we hope he never has to wait long for his reward after taking his

little master and mistress to ride.
