He gave a leap as though to start a duel, But leather only did his teeth y-strike Not to be daunted was this little mule Until his teeth he placed in leg aright Which-let me state-he did with all his might.

They then together tried to climb a hill Upon the top of which was placed a mill. Now in his hands there was a little pail With which he sought some water from a rill, But then his legs which held him up did fail And lol all down the hill both Jack and jill did sail. 7 MARTHA WILLIAMS 31 7 1 THE CAT AND THE BIRD A little bird flew up into a tree Close followed by a gray and ugly cat.

CHARLOTTE HUBBART, '31 THE EARS GF THE CASTANON What insect lives on the least food? Well, the moth only eats holes. Heard in the Cloak Room: It's to be a battle of wits. How brave you are to go unarmed! Why were you late? Sorry-but class began before I got here. Miss Smith- Mildred, what play is practicing now?,' Mildred- The other one!', 105
