She can read a page Of some, good

she has read, and by copying in a

which impress her, she, can improve
her knowledge of spelling and ,phras-

year Of such practice . better .educa,

hit by something all right but fortunate
ly he was not injured and the fiction
about the falling glass originated when
q man whose nose was bleeding tried to
assist him from the floor where he had
been thrown by the conclusion. The
blood distributed itself profusely all
over Mr.. Trsver's countensnce aud it
looked for q time as if he had been

had not been scratched.
