A VERY FUNNY COLT. 



I WISH you could see our coltie. He is the nicest pet that ever 

 was. He is so gentle that when he lies down on the grass to rest, 

 little baby sister and I can lie beside him, with our heads on his 

 soft side, as long as we like. Anna sucks her thumb; and I wish 

 you could see her, lying on the grass, with her head on the colt's 

 side, and her thumb in her mouth. 



Sometimes Prince, the colt, and Fido, our big black dog, have a 

 romp together. They run races, and play " Tag," arc! " Pussy 

 wants a corner," I guess, just as we do. 



If I go out in the yard, and do not play with Prince, he will pul 

 his head on my shoulder, or poke his funny nose into my face. He 

 wants to say, "Why, Allen! are you going to forget me? " Then 

 he will hunt for a lump of sugar in my hand or pocket. After that 

 we have a race or a roll together.
