and ventlate the sayings and doings O
myself and friends. think it would b,
but fair should you allow me the same
privilege, that your many readers may be
informed of the sayings and doings OF Sal.
ly and her friends.
"Aunt Sally" as she is familiarity called.
has bosom friend by the name Of Mrs.
Straight, and these two have attended two
lectures at Bozeman. on physiology. de-
livered by Mrs. Belle Chamberlain. AS a
result. the situation Of things at our home
has been changed very materially. NY
friends enjoy the fun hugely and say it is

Sally woke up and screamed Murder -

the crib yelled like a wildcat. and to cap
the climax Of confusion and disaster. it

broken into the room. for the floor was
Hooded with water. cr;lwled around and
