out to see what NIGH be the matter,

up before the cars, and workmen were
likewise busy in taking up the rails
behind the cars. Here the company

Mrs. Jonss to Mrs. Smith Mrs.
Jones regrets that Mrs. Smith has
found it necessary to propagate the
report that her little boy has "dirt and

that she can't allow her Willie to play
with him, which expression came from
Mrs. Smith Such a report is false
and malicious as everybody who
knows Mrs. j. and her habits will
know to be untrue. Mrs. j. suggests
to Mrs. S. that before making asser-
tions likely to wound mo.her's feel
ings, she should be certain that they
are just.
Mrs Smith IN reply to Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Smiths compliments to Mrs.
Jones and in reply to Mrs. Us po-.
lite note, would assure her, that not
being aware that there was such
person as Mrs. j., or not knowing she
had title boy, nor that he had .'dirt
and things in his head" the inference
is, that she did not assert that such
was the case; and further, not knows
ing that there was a Mrs. J. nor what
was her habits, nor that she had lit
tie boy, nor what was the condition Of
his head, she did not propagate the
report falsely and maliciously, that.
Mrs. J had little boy who had "dirt
and things in his head" Mrs. S. de-
nying all malice, admits that she did
forbid her Willie playing with the boys
in the street, because he was in the
habit of getting dirt into his own head;
and Mrs. 5. would suggest the proba-
bility that a wrong version of this in
junction, communicated to Mrs. j., by
