favor of you. AS a Clam l am an OBJ
ject Of ridicule, and the funny man is
always cracking jokes on me. l want
TO be tranSposed into a bird"
The Wizard, who had disposed OF his
Santa Re stock before the slump, and
therefore felt in good humOr, waved his
hand and the Clam flew away. He re-
turned in about an hour, however, to
loudly complain:

am the object Of everybOdy's con-
tempt"
"Well, them" replied the Wizard,
''being as you are neither satisfied TO be

YOU" and ne forthwith gave him shell
