How Jim WiOksr's Head got Bala.

jim Wicker was comical looking fellow,
with very young face; but by reason of
having no h2r, he looked very old from
his eyebrows all the way round to the back

top Of his head with guano, and plant IL
down in crab grass. But Jim wouldn I

the bar was In bad condition, for he looked
