we have been having winter wealth

ter and | didn't have very much
news to tell her They have some
pretty funny things over here to
look at. There was an old man
went by with an old horse the other
day and he said he was going to
take it up to Trier and have it
butchered The bones stuck out
all over the old thing. Anybody ov-

that into the ditch and not think
about it. They have some
little wagons here that they will
