the evil of answering hastily when asked

States according to Judge Calhoun the
armies of the North and South were en-

other in one of the valleys of Tennessee. and
there they remained for quite a period of
time
In between the two lines. in what has since

r t becomes very evident at once to any
one who chances to run across this little
volume in the book stalls (why does the
book department designate book stores as
stalls? We have always thought stall was
the sleeping apartment of horse). that while
Mr.. Coleridge seems to have had right nice
idea for poem, he has ruined 1t utterly by
the most atrocious spelling and miserable
rhymng. 1t is only necessary to glance at
the title to secure a hint of the kind of
spelling that is to be found in the book.
"Rirne" for rhyme" is a little too much.
