AN ITALIANS DILEMMA

Col. Toombs rescued the following
gem of Italian orthography from
Oblivion during his recent Sojourn in
the mountains.
An old farmer of that district put
windmill to his we'll last Winter to-
facilitate watering his stock. II
worked all right during the winter
and spring but when summer came
the wheel hung idle. The farmer
was unwilling to lose his investment,
and decided to put in a hand pump
to operate in time of calm. He got
local Italian grocer to order the
pump for him, which arrived in due
season. The grocer unpacked the
pump Che calls it "the valve") and
overlooked the handle or lever in the
packing box believing he had been
duped, the angry grocer wrote "The
House" the following pertinent letter=
Dear Friend:-
