| The pipe came out of the chimney and
| filed the room with smoke, but it was
l ~,
reprimanded us. and said that it must
not occur again. We just ached to 60,
after some more wood, but there was
no opportunity. Pretty soon the teacher
said we might 90 and get pail of water
ana while at the we'll we decided to
stumble on entering the schoolroom,
and spill the water all over the floor, and
thus give the sickly-looking teacher

| got big hickory ruler, and proceeded
to dry our pants. Well, it was the mean
est way to dry pants that ever was, and,
while It dried them we'll enough, it left
