No Mr Puffect said the fair young
girl I cannot promise you an opportu

You see I have agreed to let twenty
five young men teach me one after the
other and I fear that by the time they
are through the season will be over
But seeing the look of disappointment
on his face you may either be the first
one to teach me to skate this winter or
the first to give me a swimming lesson

A Lesson in Arithmetic
You canbuy a Range or Stove made of poor material hastily put to
gether by incompetent workmen for very little money It will NEVER
give satisfactionand will only last a few years with careful use
On the other hand you can buy a CHARTER OAK RANGE or STOVE
made of thelbestmaterial by the most skilled workman for a reasonable
amount ofmoney It will ALWAYS give satisfaction and will outlast a
half dozen of the cheap kind It also effects a saving of fuel
Which is the Cheapest in the End
