Trinity-We do not see cause for con-
graduation especially. The aim has been
to give SIX or seven in each number, some.
times space admits of more and judgment
takes 1t, but the quality has been of uni
form quality without retrogre5siop. Your
congratulations are complimentary, but for
the life of us we can't see where the point
is. Trinity says Silver King tells us
he Is beardless, etc. Please tell him his
his beard will be long enough by the time
any one Of US old ones can solve another

Rose in all her remarks. l think her an

Trinity gives answers as follows 1860,
l06l, 1903, 1864 (nearlyl, l065 lin partl,
1867, l06S, 1869 lin part), 1871, 1912,
1913, 1914, 1916, 1917 (yes, you guessed
the authorship.
Hattie Heath-lo63, 1864, 1865 very
good, but hardly, 1867, I06S, 1869, lO7l,
1913, l074, 1916, 1877 (you guess the
author. Wait until you see the answer to
1915. 1t is little obscure, but then---)
Hattie Heath says: Thanks to Utah
and Conrad Delmar. 1t is fortunate for
US that Utah has only pocket diction-
ary'-as it is, we have to flee to our un-
abridged for protection from his keen
lances. Please say to Conrad Delmar-if
his heart is as sweet as his charade-
his sweet hearts fortune is surely made /;
and to Utah that he must be nursery
man as well as his friend Trinity, think,
he understands so well how to manage
boys. l am glad to know that Silver
King is young, Trinity is too, he tells us,
though the and 10 rather casts doubt on
his words. Some men are always young, and
their children inherit the blessing. He
has passed through many changes for a
beardless youth, l think First he got
swamped in the Gospel, where many an
older head has become tangled /; then he
turns up king of some silver mine away
down in Arizona, where the ore is as plenty
as rocks are in Maine. He is generous,
too, and scatters his wealth with liberal
hand among the Quiet Hour tanglers, max
ing. us all glad that we have young king
in our circle. | agree with Rose in regard
to the good, honest, conscientious work ,
but there are various opinions about puz-
zles. Many think the more intricate they
are the better. / call puzzle that does

Amethyst 1852, 1853 (Amethyst says
