A GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLE.

GEOGHAFnICALF OZZLE'
A bright little girl residing in st. Lou
is, Mo-, composed the following geogra-
phical puzzle We wonder how many of
our young folks can supply the names OF
the towns, rivers, CULTS, ETC., suggested
in each sentence.
I left my happy home to pay visit to
lady friend. whose name is a city in
West Virginia. spent the night, and
for breakfast we had fish. whose name
was the same as New England cape.
That evening was accompanied to tea
party by her brother, whose name is
city in Massachusetts; most every one is
fond OF pies made from the name OF
mountains in Virginia. think num-
Der of boys have watches named from
city in Massachusetts. / don't think any
of our girls and boys have enough cour-
age to face quadruped in the middle
States. A great many people seasoning
their cooking with the name of capital
in South America. and if they don't be like
a cape on the Atlantic coast, they won't
enjoy it. Some people are very wssteful
only learn to be like tins name of river
in Central Europe. 1t is very becoming to
some folks to have nose like the name
OF city in Roumsnia. A great many
years ago an earthquake occurred by the
name of capital in the Southern part
of Europe. A front yard may be made
pleasant by several large trees, named
from city in Alabama. Why is it boys
rather play with marble by the name
of river in Alabama than the others?
An earthquake jars house, and SO does
a gulf South Of France.
