    Mrs. A.L. Price, of Silver Lake, reports the following funny incident. While walking down a street in Silver Lake, Mrs. Price met a little girl, of about 3 or 4 years of age, pulling a wagon in which was a large box. The task seemed very heavy for the little girl so Mrs. Price offered to help her. The two proceeded down the street, and after they had gone a short distance the little girl stopped and said, "I bet you don't know what is in that box?" The head of a 6- or 7-year-old brother promptly appeared from inside of the box.
