recently purchased the property known as
Waterloo on the Washington pike near

chewing tobacco. Four weeks ago, after
Herman had returned from school, his
mother sent him to look after the cows,
and later thinking he would be lonely she
followed him with a book and apples. She
found the boy with tobacco in his mouth,
would have to tell his father and have
him punished. The child seemed to take
the matter very much to heart, and throw
ing his arms around her neck promised her
he would never again touch tobacco.

to the place where she had left him The

peared.
