her cherished vases have been sold
at rummage sale, Mr.. and Mrs.
Butler resort to all sorts of humor-

to make these productions two of
the best amateur productions ever
staged here.

\ A Nova Scotia fisherman caught
salt herring. He took it home
and finding that it still lived put
it into a tub of water. He decided
to experiment with it by seeing if

was still living, so he decided to
make the fish live without water.
Every day he took some water out.

water had been taken out but it
Topped around so that the fisher
man put it into a canary cage.
One day the door of the cage be-

tub of water and was drowned

boys refer the reader to the article

children who have not had the
