A. Lost Sunday School Scholar.

Has anybody lost a small Sunday
School Scholar? Because, a shark has
been caught down at Charleston, in the
stomach of which was found a library
book entitled ''Giles Jones; or, Resist
Temptation," three pennies, handful
of red hair, a pair of plaid trowsers with
a tuck in them, four glass alleys, Bar
low knife, and a Sunday school card
with the inscription, "I am late.'' He
soas late upon that day-awfully late;
for he must have played truant one
Sunday morning and gone a fishing,
and that shark must have crept upon
him and taken him in. It only goes to
show how dangerous it is for boys to
stay away from school on Sunday. We
have no doubt that shark was sent after
the misguided child ON purpose by the
superintendent.
