SPRING FEVER Look it ' s come, it ' s come at last, Now we ' re safe from winter ' s blast, I just found it out to day, I felt the urge to jump and play. The little bulbs will soon unfold, They ' ve broken through the ground so cold, Everything is tinged with green, The saucy wrens their feathers preen. The moon at night shines in my room. Oh, what a change from winter ' s gloom ! It leaves you joyful, without a care. You feel like eating plainer fare. You feel the bite of a friendless fly, You see the fox go sneaking by, Oh, isn ' t it wonderful? Too good to be true? I ' ve got spring fever! Why, you have too ! EDITH ELY, Form III. A. E. (answering Miss K ' s question) — Yes, Miss Cleopatra. A RIDE WITH KENTUCKY Which horse is the quietest? I asked the riding-master. Oh ! They ' re all about the same, Miss, he answered. A horse was then led over to me and I proceeded to mount. Having finally reached the saddle, I took a firmer hold of the reins and off we went. First, we had to go through some city streets before we came to the ravine. As soon as the horses saw the road through the ravine and the soft shoulders where they could have a good canter, they became rather frisky. The horse which I was given was called Kentucky. He was a very stubborn horse. He had a habit of walking on the wrong side of the road, which made it extremely awk- ward for me. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden jolt. I felt the horse rush ahead ; I was bobbing all over the saddle; one foot came out of the stirrup; the other foot was slipping down. I caught hold of the saddle, steadied myself and Kentucky stopped. 24
