Prize one shilling.) - She was making a pudding. She had put in SUET, CURRANTS, NUTM EG. SULTANAS, FLOUR. The liquids were put in, of course, but still she was sure that something important had been left out. Then she wrote down the names of all the things that had been used, and in a minute, by taking a letter from each word in rotation, she found the name of the missing ingredient. What was it? AN ENGLISH GEOGRAPHY STORY. (Over ten years. Prize one shilling and sixpence.) This is the story of a fellow by the name of Dxn, whose mother said that he must take-a wxxh, but he couldn’t do so because there was a Ixxk in the bxxh. The sxxxxy fellow then went out, to see if he could obtain it by rain from the sxxe, but since all was clear he amused himself by chasing the cxxes and-listening to the donkey bxxy. He saw a mxn driving a Jxxxxy cow who had torn his txxxd suit by sitting down on a sharp fxxxt in a bxxxxw, and whilst laughing at the drover’s misfortune he ' stepped backward into. a bxxxxxxxl. Which all goes to show that misfortune waits on those who are unkind.
