And Farmer Davis had said of the
Judge:
The blamed old jackass is a back
number in education! He hasn't
found out yet that it's pronounced
boss to make it easier for the chill
dren. 1t was getting this cookbook
ing gal teacher that gave him the
collie"
And Mr.. Carston's next message
read:
What A Queer Lot Of Folks!"
And the answer to it was:
Il Should Say!"
And then:
Lets Resign"
And the answer:
Cant. l need The Money"
Then came few days of soft
weather when no skating could be III
dulged in, and no more messages
written. During this interval Mr..
Carston sounded the judge by say.
ing:
L hear they have a very thorough
teacher in the lady in the other dis
trict"
"And 1 don't hear any such thing"
was the vigorous reply. 81 hear she
Amt worth her salt, and that she says
horse can be called boss under GER
tain circumstances"
L doubt if she said that"
We'll, l don't care whether she did
or not, Davis has called me a blamed
old jackass. and this ere quarrel is
to keep right on"
And then came freezing weather
and Mr.. Carston visited the bay and
wrote on it's surface:
I'm Going To Raise A Row."
And within "a hours he got the an
swer:
What About?"
And he replied:
so AS To Get Introduced To
YOU"
This was the last message on ice.
Mr.. Carston got out handbills calling
a pubic meeting in the village. and
when he had his crowd assembled he
rose up and gave them fits He
showed them the envy, spite and fool
ishness of the whole thing, and warned
them Of the evils and when he stopped
speaking Farmer Davis and Judge
Flemming were shaking hands over
the chasm.
A few hours later the farmer was
saying to two very modest and retir-
ing individuals:
Miss Burton this is Mr. Carston,
the other teacher. Mighty nice man!
Mighty nice gal! Hope to see you
skating together"
And they did skate together the rest
of the winter, and if the reporters in
formation is reliable they are skating
together yet and very happy couple
they are.
ut may be boss and it may be
horse, says Farmer Davis when the
question comes up, "but I'm getting
around it by saying animal in place
of either"
