How She Lost Faith.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
There is one small girl in a New
York school who has lost faith in the
saints-a faith that was implicit till
the otl:er day. Her name is Elizabeth,
and She cannot learn to spell. She does
her best TO learn, but If wrong letter
can creep into word it sneaks in
when Elizabeth tries to spell that word.
She came into the class beaming, but
inside of two minutes she had spelled
innocent 'inosent" and flew though"
The teacher shook her head ELIZA

asked.
Elizabeth looked at her with hope

nose.

said in tone of tinality. II did the
