Dear Daddy Jim: Here 1 come for
the third time. 1t seems that / can't
stay away from the happy band of
cousins. | love every one of them.
One of the cousins sent me beauti-
full card. Now, Daddy Jim, as you
are all the cousins daddy, | want to
tell you what | have been thinking
about. Of course, 1 don't know any
thing about politics, but [ hear papa
and other men talking of our bray
est and wisest men. [ know it is
the truth, because my papa says so.
1t reminds me of going to school.
Just let nice, good boy go to school,
and all the bad boys will tease and
call him lot of ugly names. So it
is with Mr.. Watson. You see | go to
school, and [ know. If Mr.. Watson
was a mean coWardly man, every bad
man would like him. Now don't you
think if all the men were like Mr..
Watson, all would get along better
and be better? Daddy Jim, if I am
rude you must tell me so, but I just
want to tell you what your little girl
thinks. I will now answer and ask
some questions. Lenora Moore: LIST,
the first telegraph line was completed
in 1914 between Washington City
and Baltimore; I'd, Eli Whitney in
vented the first cotton gin in 1893.
jamie Bunker: Andrew Jackson was
elected President in 1929. He died in
1916. Now | will ask a few Bible
questions; list. Where is the word
Lady" found in the New Testament,
and how many times is it used? I'd.
Was Joseph, who was sold into
Egypt; Joseph, who begged of
Christ, and Joseph, the husband of
Christ's mother, the same man, or
were they all different men? I will
send card to all those who answer
my questions correctly. I will close
with three cheers for Mr.. Watson.
