There was a good deal of laughing and scrambling at this morning meal. It started everybody off in a good humor, and in time it became the hour for jokes and absurdities that will never die out as long as there are boys and girls enough to keep them alive. After they had disposed of quantities of very good food, at least it seemed good to mountain appetites, Mr.
