FREAKS OF THE FOREST • In thin effalltrY We take it as a mat- ter cif course to 'see uneles and pears growing on trees, but if instead of these fruits we saw suchuseful com- modities as condensed milk, ready- made shirts, or even plain bread and butter, we would certainly imagine that we were "seeing things."
