A BOY ON BREATHING.
Here is a hoy’s composition on •‘Breathing.” Breath is made of air. We breathe with our lungs, our lights, our liver, and our kidneys. If it wasn’t for our breath we would (lie when we slept. Our breath keeps the life going through the nose when we are asleep. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe. They should wait till they get outdoors. Boys in a room make bad, unwholesome air. They make carboiiicide. Carbonicide is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap of soldiers tvas in a black bole in India, and a carbonicide got in that there hole, and nearly killed everyone afore morning. Girls kill the breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram. Girls can’t holler or run like boys, because their diagram is squeezed too much. If I was a girl, I hail rather be a boy, so I can run, holler, and row, and have a great big diagram.
