We would find thousands of naked lit

Christian Sunday-schools.
Tomorrow morning we would go down
their rude streets between their queer

many of tho little youngsters in day
school, learning their lessons all the way

Some of them would be naked as this
boy in the front seat. others half DRESS

Tastes differ down there In that hot
country-some boys and girls dressing
(or undressing) for comfort. others for

Thls Is not puzzle for YOU to solve,

The point is to count up to 100

the count and see which one reaches

serve is this: That each may add what
ever he pleases to the last number, pro-
