Me laughed for ten days and ten nights. I always thought Irma would make am man laugh. Well, she got the rash anil a writeup in the loeal papers.

Well, she joined some missionary society, and the last I heard of her she was in Hongkong. • l suppose Charlottes leaching school somewhere in .Montana. She told me that she might some day live near Mutton on a ranch. Things do happen sometimes which cause one to change one’s mind. She certainl used to be a wonderful dancer.” “She taught school about ten years; then she married some rancher near Collins. I think you must remember the man for he was very tall. His parents were quite wealthy, and he was the only child. 1 am sure they are living on t he farm. ’ “I remember tin man but I just can’t remember bis name, lb was a very good scout. I am sure.
