A story comes from the lakes that
a number Of the members of Fargo
literary clubs were chatting over ar
rangements for the coming winter,
when several Of the husbands arrived
and they joined in the discussion and
a pleasant hour was devoted to the
asking of questions about authors and
their writings Some of the questions
were posers and answers were left I'M
til homes could be reached and library
shelves could be peered into. One OF
the sterner ones present said he would
ask something easy who penned the
following lines?
There was a little girl
And she had little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
When she was good she was very
very good
But when she was bad she was horrid
The question remained unanswered
after a considerable scratching of
craniums and big working of think
ing caps. In little while visitor ar
rived accompanied by her little daugh-
ter and the question was re-asked and
after noticing the puzzled looks for a
time on the faces of her elders piped
out, why mamma. Henry w. Long
fellow was the author Of those lines"
