Mr.. Editor, we know that the letter
Is always pronounced ne crooked let
ter, but sometimes If you supplement
other letters in its place it makes tho
whole word read crooked. BY the way
in our last letter a t fell in the rs place
and made us read diversity, which
should nave been diversity, but we
suppose that every body who under
stands how to read knows how to make
allowance for all such mistakes.
There's going to be some kind Of a

with our old friend Kay. We found

hear little money rattling about YOUR
Old clothes, such bargains you may ex-

those whirl-around chairs that worked
on pivot. In fact, 1t was q big round
thing with cushion, in tho bottom. +
