WISE AND OTHERWISE
And Timothy, did ye hear of the beautiful
picture 1 painted of a w inter scene; and w hen
it was finished 1 placed it out doors to drr,
and a wee bit of a iamb frolicking in the sun

Ah jawmie, that is nothing when I was a
wee bit of a lad I drew the likeness of an
illigent hen, and to hide it from roe mother,
I put it in me hat and the blessed thing “laid”
there.

••Ir Kloyd Allan, teacher of the
St. Michael native school made us a
pleasant visit recently. He came to
meet his wife who, due to the early
freeze up, was compelled to coine by

get along with the natives is because
they treat them as Eskimos and the?,
expect the native to act like white
folks.
