Macaroni.

Hammond Times. ■Macaroni is a thing we have always wondered about. We know, in a general way, that it is sent out from factories in boxes, looking very naked and white; and that it comes to the table wearing cheesy. *. , Aside ffom that, macaroni is as much a mystery to us as what the man says who goe§ past the house veiling lor bld clothes.
