They were ashamed of having made
such mistakes, and after this took care
to. ask what the pictures were, before they,
said anything about them. The teacher

Know Nothing said, like an ants nest.

ignorance?" shouted the little man, fly.
ing into another passion, and beginning
tc walk up and down, stamping his feet
sc. that it was quite alarming.

not mean any harm," said the children;
then the teacher was pacifsd again.

fortune, not your fault, that You are NOT
