Leavitt, Josephine Armstrong and

There are some very mean people in
the world, especially those who got the
little girl's pocket book and left it
where they did to hurt others, but
they didn't.
It takes all kinds of people to make
a world like this, with Aunt Peggy and
Mason Hill thrown in. One would
naturally think by the way Peggy
talks that he had been handling more
chickens than his own at the Conven
tion, when he speaks of that pyramid
of bones, almost as large as Peter the
Hermit's, on his way to Palestine. Did
you ever study natural history
Peggy; if you have not, do so at once,
and then don't tramp on our toes. We
did not say you stole the chickens, or
any of the Mason Hill people. You
must have a better opinion the terri
tory that surrounds you than formerly.
You jump at conclusions and mix
Esau's pottage with everybody. Study
natural history, Aunt Peggy, and there
you will find down comes before
feathers. Buzz.
