WHY WE COOK CABBAGES
HUTT SCHOOLBOY'S VERSION. Considerable amusement was caused at the breaking-up ceremony or the Mutt Valley High School when the principal, Air H. P. Kiclson, read some of the scholars’ answers to questions. To the question, “Why do we cook cabbages? the answer was given “We cook cabbages in order to kill the grubs that are too small to be seen!”
“In this synthetic age,” said Mi Kiclson, “you will not he surprised to hear that ‘beef tea is made from the best of vegetables’.” Romance was surely ingrained in the following: “He went for a ride with his amour propre, but the}’ knew she was not his best girl.” The following was certainly a most distressful accident: “When the lady went down the street she dropped all her rudiments.”
“The prisoner had to swallow a piece of bread without getting it wet,” ran one answer. “This was trial by ordeal.”
