1t was Sunday morning when Mr..
Jones received his new coat, much to
his chagrin, as he had spent all Satur-

front door. He got into it in hurry,
for he wanted to wear it to church.

and floored the hat, and Mr.. Jones said
a word that had several consonants in
it, and Mrs. Jones laughed till she
cried.
Nice conduct for Sunday morning"
sneered Jones, rolling his coat collar
down and his sleeves up in a pugilistic
way; IF you think this coat is a misft,
you're mistaken, that's all"

Jones, in a rage. Then he took the
coat off and kicked it into the closet
