Hszing received quite shock when
young Buck, OF Texas, shot one OF his
tormentors. 1t is pretty certalL that he
will not be hazed any more, even II he
invite his comrades to amuse themselves
that way and offer to pay their doctors

dear innocent little children MASKING
flies on the window panes. Ii is such
rare sport for the sweet little lambs that
they can hardly get enough OF it. But
once, and only once, the sportive infant
mistakes q hornet for a fly. No such
case OF mistaken identity ever occurs
second time.-SJtingS.
