Natural Question.

A Knight Templar and his family were traveling over the New York Central to attend last summer’s conclave in Boston.

Recovering himself quickly, he looked up In his father’s face, and gasped, “Papa, did we swallow it?” When there is a snow storm the fancy of very young men lightly turns to thoughts of tracking rabbits.
