WHAT is 1T?

Out in the woods two children were playing
T wins to a button and button to two;
Into the dark the babies were straying,
Into the dark where the graylies grew.
little old man with -woolywild hair
Came up to the children and stopped and
sang.
He sang all the way till they came to stair.
Where he found a bell that the Oily bird
rang
The stair was built of alphabets,
And rickety hung in the dark blue air,
There was no top. there were no steps,
And nothing ever came down the stair.
The three all climbed into Il wheel,
And round and round they whirled and
swirled;
The wheel was set in u funny door
That opened into Nowhere world.

The condition of the road at the juno
ton of Narragansett avenue, School
and Cranston streets, is almost beyond
description. The road at this point
slopes from both Narraeapsett avenue
and Cranston street, while high bank
at the corner of School street prevents
the water from running In that direc-
ton. The only outlet for the water is
down Cranston street to Burnham ave
nue.. where the catch basin is located,
but from this course it's flow is pre-
vented by the hard snow which has TO
be melted before the water can run.
In consequence the road at the june
tion is almost perfect lake varying
from six inches TO two feet i'm depth.
