United States it is impossible tn find n
man with n decoration: it France it is
difficult to find anybody without one.

four and the oldest six. had each about
six peanuts: it looked as though n OF
the boys had bought a cents worth and
divided them. Not content with the
proportions, each was o trying to
increase his store at the expense of the

tossed a peanut at the other line. The
