Lizzie. were crossing the fields ap-
preaching the pretty town of Bethle-
hem. Pa. The sounds OF the grass
hoppers and the katydids filled the air
as they came in sight of church. 1t
was Sunday morning and the congre-
cation was singing melodious hymn
Lizzie heard it, but George did not
and she said:
oh, George, isn't that beautiful"
He. thinking she referred to the
katydids. replied:
Yes; and they are doing all that
with their hind legs. '-Philadelphia
