 Isn't it sad and dep1orable, the ignorance that crops out and comes to the surface now and then? And we don't have to. go to .Dark est Africa" to find it either. Why9only' one evening last ,yeek,,lwe stood on the Opera House corner in the enlightened and cultured town of DanbuIy when middle aged nla1f, a real bright looking man, with aerease in his tr61ser legs t30 sfepped p,i UP iand @ says sSay s SIGre onTX dose ao% 1 @ right squarely in our taee and eyes our para1 ysis could not have been more complete We bender button burst from it's socket and then we looked at him again. to make sure that he was in real earnest @ and not joker.

Do you wonder that we were staggered and paralyzed and had to grasp the corner, of the answer for us, and what do you think he said why he simply looked saghast and said, ''dam phino," or some similar sounding foreign word and passed on and do you wonder that at this junctuFe everything turned black and we saw stars and passed into a kind of semi conscious state, and the electric lights flick cred and burned green, and the trolley cars stopped, and the opera house seemed tottef ing upon its base and about ready lexcept for our firm hold upomit) to crash down upon City Hall and the nigh: lunch wagon, and the soldiers monument stood at 8 ''charge ot, Pisa, and.
