they talk by the yard together upon

in the midst of life by misfortune, he
be given a woodenleg, thereafter he
will seek the company of Woodenleg-

they will drift together away from the

three or four pages devoted to the
'Woodenleg Exchange These pages
contained advertisements of wooden
legs for exchange. Nobody ever is
satisfied with his own wooden leg. All
want to trade with somebody else, and
The WoedenIeg' is a great medium Of
exchange. Hoard says there are many
varieties of wooden legs-stumps,
corks. shod, peg, stiff, adjustable-but
even the most expensive never are
satisfactory, and so to the Wooden

 After that brief introduction he leaped into the body of his subject. He dealt with education in the higher sense and dwelt on it's influence for good as con- cerns the future of the nation.
