JACK AND jill

Jack and jill. the two charming
children of Mr.. Jack Jill and Mrs.
JILL were the unfortunate victims yes
terday Of painful though not neces-
sarily dangerous contretemps. The
accident occurred on the slope of the
hill near the home of the two injured
children at 304 Mount Vernon avenue,
The we'll from which the Jills pro-
cure their water is situated on the
apex Of this small mountain. Ordi-
narily wells are placed at the foot Of
hills, but that is where the Jill we'll
differs from the common or garden
variety. It would have been much
easier and cheaper for Mr.. Jill to
have had his water hole tput in at the
foot Of the slope in question. But he
happens to be an earnest advocate of
violent exercise for the young and

Mrs. Jill's nose whispered in her
ear that the roast was burning. So
not having time to hear all the evil

Jill declined to make a statement.
