a SCHOOL BOYS COMPOSITION.

Corn are of two kinds. Vegetable and
animal Vegetable corn grows in rows
and animal corn on toes. There is unicorn,
capricorn, rorr-dodgers, field born, and toe
corn, which is the corn you feel the most.
1t is said, l believe, that gophers like corn;
but persons having corns don't like to go
Ear, if they can help it. Corns have ker-
nels, and some colonies corns. Vegetable
corn grows on ears, but animal corn grows
on the feet at the other end of the body
Anhther kind of corn is acorn; these grow
on oaks, but there is hoax about the corn
The acorn is a corn with an indefinite ar
article, indeed. Try it and see. Many a
man when he has corn, wishes it was 90
acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes
send for Doctor himself is corned, he
would probably do so well as if he isn't
The doctors say corns are produce by
tight boots or Shoes which is probably the
reason why when q man is tight they say
he is corned. IF a farmer manages well
he can get good deal Of corn on one acre,
bnt | know a farmer that has one corn that
makes the biggest acher on biz farm. The
biggest crop of vegetable corn man rais-
es the better he likes i, but the biggest
crop Of animal corn he raises the he does
not like it. Another kind Of corn is corn
dodger. The way it is very simple and !,
is as follows THAT is if you want to know):
You go along a street ard meet a man
you know has corns, and is a rough char
acter, then you step on the toe you know
has the corn on it, and see if You cont
have nccnsion to dodge. To that way yon
will find out what cora dodger is. 81 y 81
