nsa pleasure to forgive Mr. Ellis, When Chaos
was a boy and Old Night was attending a school
for girls at Trenton, y. j.. this same error was
a classic. Edward Everett Hale In one OF those
truthful tales OF his TINT fortunately escaped amend
ment by the proofreader. describes the wreckng

purpose taught the South for twenty years In ad.

COW gives twelve quarts o. milk in one day. TWO
cows will give twenty four quarts In one day also;
not In two days. Here We stand; We can do no
other And 50 with the Ellis Hen II hen and
q half lay an egg and half In day and a half.
three hens will lay three eggs In day and half
also no. In three days. Mr.. Eis's half hen, too,
will lay half an egg In day and half not IN the
half day that Mr. Fills so cruelty assigns TO her
as time limit. Let us be as Kind to hall a hen as
we are to a hen and a half,
