A BOY'S COMPOSITION ON RINKS.
Rinks is a new invention. They were invented by Mr Payne. Rinks is made to skate. Some people think they were made to fall down on, but they are mistaken. Skating on rinks beats sliding down hill all holler, ’cause you can get so much more slide, and don’t have to walk up hill, Girls have more fun skating than boys, ’cause when she falls down all the young men run to help' her up, and when a boy falls down they all run and fall down on him. Rinks is more dangerous than mules, ’cause you can stay away from mules, and they wont hurt you; but you can’t stay away from them rinks, and they hurt harder than mules sometimes. Nest time I go to the rink I am going to put on my sister’s clothes, and then the man with the “soldier’s cap” on will hold me up while I skate. It takes lots of get-upness to make a good skater. 1 spend more time getting up than I do skating,
