Nature Responded too Much! 



We were living in the Southwest. For 

 weeks and months we had had no rain. 

 Every day big, promising-looking clouds 

 rolled up, broke apart and drifted away. 

 Streams were dried up, vegetation was 

 burning up and life was well-nigh un- 

 bearable to man and beast. From twelve 

 to eighteen inches of sand and dust cov- 

 ered the highways ; gnats made life 

 hideous ; heat parched our skin and

 and cattle pens ; pretty soon it had flood- 

 ed the yard and was nearly to the door. 



Small Robert, took a survey of the sit- 

 uation and then in a small, frightened 

 voice said : "Daddy, don't blame it all on 

 me. God had ought to knowed a small 

 kid like me didn't need such a awful 

 big rain." — Country Gentleman.
