Mistaken Identity.

The morning was cold and foggy
when old Farmer Giles and his man
started out to drive a bullock into
the market. The farmer, being uncom
monty stout, left the work to his EN-,
ployee.
After tramping about eight miles in
silence, hardly able to see each other
for the fog, the man was startled tc
hear a voice in front of him exclaim
"Were getting along in good style
aren't we, Bill?'
'Lordy!" cried the farm hand, "be
that you, MASTER Whoy, All bin
a-droivin' We for the last hour!'
And the bullock had vanished in the
fog, while Bill herded his bulky mas
ter to market.

George surveyed with puzzled eyes

"Well, George, what is it?" asked
the teacher.
"What is fecbly, Miss Smith?'
"A feebly!" repeated Miss Smith, In
astonished tones. What do you mean
George? Feebly is an adverb, not d
noun."
George was unconvinced. "It's
something that grows" he said. "It
says so here"

titled teacher.
Whereupon George complied and
laboriously read out the sentence:
