Edward, how much _is_ eighteen times forty-seven ?" "Six hundred and fifty-nine, Father." "Right, my boy! Go up head." "Now, I'll give an example," said Midget.

"If Edward has three eggs and Jack has two eggs, how many have they together ?" "Can't do it!" declared Cousin Jack, "'cause Ed and I are never together at breakfast, and that's the only time we have eggs!" "Then here's another!" cried Midget; "how can you divide thirteen apples evenly among four people ?" "You can't!" said Cousin Jack, "that's the answer." "No, it isn't! Who knows ?" "Invite in nine more people," suggested Mr.Maynard.
"No; that's not it! Oh, it's easy! Don't you know, Mother?
I mean, _Helen_ ?" But they all gave it up, so Marjorie announced the solution, which is, "Make apple sauce!" "History lesson, now," said King.

"Edward, who discovered America ?" "Pocahontas," replied Mr.Maynard.
"Right.

Who was Pocahontas ?" "A noble Indian Princess, who was born July 29th, 1563." "Very good.

Ethel, describe the Battle of Bunker Hill." "I can't; I wasn't there." "You should have gone," reprimanded King, severely.
