4 III e S N o w BALL

The SNOWFALL is a cold, disagreeable
object which is manufactured by the
hght-hearted schoolboy and is then
used to puncture people who have never
harmed him i'll thought, word or deed.
1t is more deadly missile than the
bit of gossip which is retailed with sew
eral homemade additions.
The SNOWFALL is almost always made
IN the winter time, owing to the abund-
ance of raw material. It is made of
equal parts of snow and ice water, and
when deposited in forceful and scien-
tlfic manner on the neck of an limo

rent of his thought with great rapiditv.
There are few things more discomfort
ing IN life full of perplexities than
TO receive water-soaked SNOWFALL lust
below the left ear while walking along
the street wrapped in meditation and
underclothes.
The SNOWFALL is often used for DUR
poses of revenge. Many a male high
school teacher has started homeward
at the close of the afternoon session.
