Thank yon. Small; folks have always
been showing me a place to
glt-up.and-glt, but you are the flret
to tell me you will show me "a place
to sit down." This sounds good to
me, for 1 love to sit down, notwithstanding
it is a very bad habit. In
corn hoeing time I love to sit on the
fence (or used to); when I go out
to plow 1 love to sit on the plow
beam and watch Dobbin fight flies;
when 1 go out driving I love to sit in
the shade of a pretty Parisian hat;
but I don't loVe *? in the shade
of a t4x*een-foot hat pin.
Said above, 1 used to love to sit
on the fence. No. 1 don't now. You'll
remember a fellow correspondent
startled the scientific world some
time ago by stating that the fences
in his locality were being devoured
by hookworms. Since then I have
been rather shy of fences as sitting
clown places. Though, since giving
the matter considerable thought have
decided our contemporary was perhaps
mistaken, that sitting on the
fences and not hookworms was responsible
for their worm eaten appearance.
Sitting on fences and
many other structures such as
bridges, school houses, court houses,
and the like, makes them look
wormy.
Don't believe you mean to show me
a place to sit down. You are not one
cf the sitting down kind. Your '
school building shows no Indication
of hookworm infection, which shows *
you have not been sitting down on it.
Lots of school houses look awfully
wormy. All because there has been
too much sitting down going on
around them.
LoU of wormy places. Look at
oar public roads and bridges. They
are worm eaten in many places, all
because somebody has been sitting
down on his job. Go to the towns
and cities and they look wormy about
in places. Here is an old eye-sore
here, a slipshod, slack twisted establishment
there, unsightly sites of factories
that might be yonder. Enquire
at any of those places and you'll find
that somebody is running a successful
sitting down business there. l<ook
at the thrones of old European mon.
archies. Nothing but worm eaten
figureheads. All because one set of
men has been sitting on them for centuries.
Look at little nearer home
and you'll find that some of our official
settees have been sat on till their
occupants are badly in need of a dose
of Epsom salt and that other bookworm
medicine.
Hookworms in many places, but
we are getting them out. The doctors
are running them out of the ale.

runing them out of the educational
