If any boy thinks he can write as happj an essay about girls as the girl who penuec the following has written about boys, he wil perhaps let the Children of the Column heai from him : — " Boys ara men that have not got as big as their papas, and girls aw young women that will be young ladies bj and by. Man was made before woman When God looked at Adam, He said to Himself, " Well, I think I can do better if I try again," and then He made Eve. God liked Eve so much better than Adam that there have been more women than men ever since, Boys are a trouble. They are wearing or everything but soap. If I had my way, half the boys in the world would be little girls, and the rest would be dolls. My papa is so nice that I think he must have been a little girl whan he was a little boy." — Leede Mercury.
