Dear Editor;- FIN
| Will you please tell me all you can
about Julius Caesar: #%
Richard. u
Answer-History does not say much
about Julius, but great deal Of space
is devoted to his Aunt Jane. Jane
was Lu Lu. She had q barnyard
full of COWS and poultry. She lived
about seven miles from Luverne,
Mimi, and her chief occupation was
to hunt hens eggs and make rancid
butter. When she brought the product
Of her labor to town the people got
out of the way. They didn't like tho
smell. But Jane graded her butter
as A No. l and when she didn't get
the highest price for her soap grease
she went straight up. Tell your faith
or, Richard, that he may be thankful
he didn't marry Aunt Jane, and don't

Answer-Mary was born and reared
at Sioux Falls, s. D. She was quite .
gay girl but she was of kindly dispo- Il
sition and always tried to avoid hurt .

with them she would retire at the u.s. II
ual hour to her room in the second
story but about 1890 she would slip
down the back stairs, very quiet like
for she didn't want to grieve her par N
ents, and hike down to the railroad
yards to meet No 63. She frequently \
stayed some time. Afterwards Mary
moved with her parents to DesMOine6..
Iowa and wrote poetry. 3

Smallest PcOpIe In the World.

The inhabitants of the Andaman is
lands are the smallest race of people in
the world. The average height of full
grown Andaman is feet inches, and
few weigh over seventysiX pounds.
They are marvelously swift Of foot
and as they smear themselves over
with mixture of oil and red ocher
present a very strange appearance.
Few travellers care to encounter any. of
these belllcose little people, for their
skill in throwing the spear and in using
the bow is only equaled by their readi-
ness to attack strangers.
