 Well, this guy I was telling you

 on the back and tell him to cheer up.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mir Editor: It was great day for the little mixed school on the hill bearing the Indian name; for the school visitor was there and would ask questions. The teacher had brought in some Indian relics, to give the children a better understanding of things that belonged to the aborigines, who once occasionally roamed that section.
 The class in history had recited far enough to show that Sa sse GUS was re- ally a saucy. one that was put to death by the M0hawlzs; and that Wawecus hill was 8 quiet neigihboTfpood not far from the UnCaS monument. This led the school visitor to ask What is a tomahawk?" Such 8 puzzler as this at that critical and exciting moment, was too much for the school. until a little eight year old replied, Its. lle- hawk"
 This was almost 8 paralytic she- hawk for the school officials; and they didn't fully recover from the s-he-ha,wl. till a little Irish boy-w11o had the Irish brogue so marked as to pronounce ''lealx'' "la1se'-was asked in a review of geography, What is a lale?' and
