We were surprised to hear of a citi-
zen of the village down the river be-
ing brought before the high court of
that village. When we read the ac-
count and noted that they assessed
him $500, we got the idea that he
was the first offender that had ever
thrown pebble into the placid
waters of that village and that the
capture of the bold bad man would

the fine was unreasonable and that
it will cause the family of the said
infractor, who folks say are fine

travels, she has the hardest man in
the county to beat. Rev. Nuzum is
as to his plans for next
year. Perhaps if you and Uncle
Timothy would come to quarterly
Sunday night, it might help
him to decide. About everybody
else has told him they want him to
stay. The folks who don't like him
are scarce, and are keeping quiet.
Hoping you may come to quarterly
and bring our friend Jim
Barlow with you.-Your nephew,
Willie.

That night Jack Frost did another
kind thing. He blew his breath on
the pond and froze it almost solid.
In the morning, when the children
spied it, they all cried, Murray!
Now we can try our new skates and
hockey sticks that Santa Claus
brought US for Christmas!"
It wasn't more than fifteen min
utes until the pond was simply black
with children skating.
They were doing plain skating and
fancy skating and the double roll
and making circles and cutting stars,
and playing hockey and shouting
and laughing, and having such a
merry time that if Jack Frost was
around anywhere, he surely must
have been pleased.
But Nancy and Nick were not

They were away off on Sled Trace.

bad little goblin who had spoiled the
sled track the day before.
You remember. don't you, how he
had spilled salt all over it and ruined
it for shedding! For salt will melt ice
dirt.
The Fairy Queen was so upset
when she heard about it that she
sent special delivery letter to Inch

"Dear Elf: If you and the Twins
don't catch that naughty goblin
