Speaking of the great men that con

mouths, noses and ears. The size of the
fourteen ears and seven noses of the

"A local correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript writes cone Sunday, in
the absence of the teacher, / took charge
of class of boys of from four TO six
years of age. Speaking the truth was
the basis of our conversation together.
1 asked the boys If either of them could
tell the story of George Washington and
his little hatchet. One OF the boys
promptly began telling the story, and
was listened TO most attentively by the
dozen or more of the class. One little
fellow, who had given the most careful
attention, turning his head little TO
one side, his bright eyes swapping, and
with most determined expression upon
his face, exclaimed, well, Mr. B.,
I don't care, my father had ansoleander
bush and / cut it down. He asked me

The Burlington Hawkeye man is ss
well as could be expected. He gave the
baby some paragoric the other day and
launched out thus: Death, while pass
ing through Des MOines county one day,
met an Iowa tramp going to Burlington
to beg his breakfast. Ali exclaimed
the King of Terrors, with a grim smile,
I'D give 81 900 to get hold Of one Of you
fellows But the tramp only laughed
in sardonical manner, and giving
Death a kick that made his anatomy
rattle like a street car, passed on TO his
repast while the King of Terror sat down
on the hillside and cried with yexation."
And then he Immediately turned right
around and did thus: A man on Pond
street went down to New York bank
rupt sale the other day and bought
beautiful spring suit, imported goods,
worth SS5 for $50. The first day he
wore it he was caught in a drenching
rain, and then as he walked out in the
sunshine his new clothes began to shrink
up around his shoulders and pulled his
arms out OF joint, and his trousers gath
cred themselves up like balky horse
picked the man up, walked him along
on his tip toes for a half block, and
were just on the point of twisting him
clear over a garden fence, when his sus-
penders gave way and let them fly right
over his head and he never saw them
again."
