A Polite war.
A little boy, with an interest in the
meaning of unfamiliar words, said to
his raother, "What is the meaning of
'civil'" "Kind and polite," answered
his mother. A puzzled look brooded for

said, "Was it a kind and polite war
that was in this country once?"

shock. It was as if a ,mortal blow had
been struck at the constitution of the
country. I3ig 130n—or, rather, the elock

cleaning the passages surrounding the
