The caplin visited our beach this

enemies amongst which were salmon
tr nt cod-fish, flounders, halibut,
red, humpback and king salmon, sea
it a 11s and whales, and humans. We
s ilted and spiced three kegs of the

It bus become necessary in Mr.
Folsom's family since Mary McKew
en became a member of it to spoil
out any conversation they do not
wish her to understand. The other
day she surprised them by saying,
“What in the e 1 d does a bumble
bee’s sting look like-”
One day she went with Mr. Folsom
f<tr milk. He stepped on a weed. She
said “You must be careful now about
stepping on those plants. They will
be bio uning in*o cranberries in a lit
tle while. Maybe by next winter wo
can pick cranberries enough to make
an apple pie.”
On the evening of July 12 little
Bessie Patchell passed away. She
was S years and R days old. She was
a delicate child when she came to us
four years ago. Last fall she had
the w’ ^>pingcough, which aggravat
ed her tubercular condition of which
she died. She has had to have al
most constant care for ten months.
It now looks ag if we would not nped
to buy any hay this vpar, as the
weather has been ideal for curing: it,
and there is an abundance on Kod
iak island to be cut. Our boys now
have more cut and stacked than we
had last year. Our difficulty will
be in getting: it home in gf>od condi
tion, for of course we cannot expect
this wonderful weather to last much
longer, and to bring hay such a dis
tance in the boat we must have dry
calm weather.
