/ all Of a sudden, they came to "A stone
/ wall. and when Alice saw something

] Why. there's my old friend Humpty
Dumpty. I must stop and speak TO him
] or he'll think I'm proud and she
waved her hands.
"Why. that-thats nothing but an
egg" said Sammie. IT'S like the
ones I colored for Easter when the
skilliEimink dye splasned all over
me. That isn't Humpty Dumpty at

DumVty is an egg, of course, but he
doesn't like TO be told Of it. Don't
YOU know the little verse;
&c -Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had great fall
All the kings horses and all the
kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together. again "
That's right said Alice from
Wonderland. only don't speak Of
the fall before Humpty. He doesn't
like TO be reminded Of it,
I don't see why" spoke Jackie
Bow Wow. He can't hear a word
we say He's only an egg-he hasn't
any ears"
"He really isn't dressed yet" said
Alice It's a bit early But I'll soon
make him look more human"
With that she jumped of the auto,
and, taking two ears or corn from
field nearby. she fastened them with
silk from the cob, one on each side

nice teeth as one could wish for. and
they never ached. and for a nose she
took out cute little bottle Of per-

Johnnie BushytaiL

suddenly turned pale. for he nearly

with a brush made from the end OF a
soft fern he began TO clean his teeth
with the talcum powder which Lulu
gave him.
And then. all OF a sudden. there was
a loud noise. a puff OF smoke. and
Humpty Dumptv. the egg man. was
seen sailing off through the air like
a big white balloon
Well. this is better than falling off
the wall," he cried in a faint voice.
"Oh. my" what has happened2'
asked Sammie Littletail trying TO
make dis pink nose twinkle as Uncle
WiEEily did his.
"Humntv Dumpty was blown up IN
stead Of filling down" said Alice. II
guess your talcum powder was too
strong for him Lulu, my dear And

fireworks. So he's gone but I'm glad
he wasn't broken. for If he was the
way the book has it. when he falls
off the wall all the kings horses and
all the kings men couldn't put him
together again. Maybe It IS best as
II is"
Then Alice and Uncle WiEEilv and
the animal bows and Eirls had FUN in
