 and dirt, One day is quite enough to razzle-dazzle
 any shirt? .rd when the day is chilly does the ice
 man leave a lot, And inst a tiny bit of ice when days are
 sizzling hot? And when your brow is beaded with a hum
 dred drops of dew Dares anyone inquire: ''Is it hot enough
 for you?" And is there real good fishing in your lakes
 still unexplored? And. by the by, what do they ask for first
 class summer board? pre do not like the earth real well, its heat
 is simply vilel If you've a snap we'll all be glad to come
 and stay awhile. Nixon Waterman. in l.. A. W. Bulletin.
