Ner the rippes where the sunlight useter filter

Oh, my oil time .blue-eyed sweetheart, you recall

In New Jersey man was found dead in
bath tub. The only thing about which the au-
thorities feel certain is that he wasn't from Chi
cago,
spring in Virginia is so magnetic that it
charges everything dropped into it, in which it
somewhat resembles a Kentucky colonel.
GLORY BE
The beauty OF these Christmas horns
Is that they're not so strong,
So let the children blow them loud
They will not blow then long
When fellers all tagged out,
Feels though he's got the govt
Then it's fun--you bet il is;
To lay aside the of biz
To hustle up boon "compsn,'
Get, gun an dog an fTyin pan
And off 10 where the woods are brown
Away from store and strife and town.
To spend time all free from care
a breathin' OF Gods purer air

Ter git way out where big red ants crawls up
his legs an gallivants inside the bosom of his
pants-now that is nice! Out where the bugs
get in the pie and in the lemonade and die
and in the frying pan and fry-don't that en-
tice?

Moral: Diversity.
A corn is wart on your toe. Corus and
warts are just the same, only dffercnt,--Lo Porte

Then perhaps you mean to insinuate that
wart is corn on our nose. We pause for re-

Such possibility as that is enough to make

Keep the cows and other stock of the sehooi
premises: 1t is bad enough to make a public
