Snatching me out as quickly as possible, she plunged me -into a bucket of cold water; but I was disfigured and crippled for life, -and disabled from further service. The cook at length declared she would -no longer give me house-room, and one bitter cold night, turned me out -into the street, without a stitch of clothing. I have never murmured -when called upon to work; yet here I lie, neglected, unheeded, and -uncared for. - -But why should I complain? am I the only one shunned and forsaken, when -no longer able to minister to the wants or pleasures of the world? - -[Illustration] - - -15 - - Among the snakes, I reck of one, - Not born of earthly breed, - And with this serpent vieth none, - In terror or in speed. - - It darts upon its helpless prey - With roar both loud and high; - In one destruction borne away, - Rider and steed must die. - - In highest place it loves to bide, - No door may bar its path, - And scaly armor’s iron pride - Will but attract its wrath. - - The firmest earth it plows amain, - How tough soe’er it be-- - As brittle reeds are snapt in twain - ’Twill rend the mightiest tree. - - Yet hath this monster, grim and fierce, - Ne’er twice with prey been fed, - But once its fiery tooth can pierce-- - It slayeth--and is dead. - - - - -REBUSES. - - -1 - - A letter prefix to the tyrant’s delight, - You’ll see a kind friend on a cold winter’s night. - - -2 - -My first may be divided into three parts.

It -exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations -from people in all walks of life. - -Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the -assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's -goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will -remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project -Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure -and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future -generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see -Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at -www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg -Literary Archive Foundation - -The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit -501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the -state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal -Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification -number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by -U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. - -The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the -mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its -volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous -locations.

Newby - Chief Executive and Director - gbnewby@pglaf.org - -Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg -Literary Archive Foundation - -Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide -spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of -increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be -freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest -array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and -distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of -volunteer support. - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in -the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - diff --git a/old/54508-0.zip b/old/54508-0.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 42eb48e..0000000 --- a/old/54508-0.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/54508-h.zip b/old/54508-h.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 16ee663..0000000 --- a/old/54508-h.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/54508-h/54508-h.htm b/old/54508-h/54508-h.htm deleted file mode 100644 index 4d14336..0000000 --- a/old/54508-h/54508-h.htm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,7289 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" - "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> -<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> - <head> - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> - <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> - <title> - The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Santa-Claus Book of Games and Puzzles, by John H.

One morning, quite -early, before the rest of the family were up, Lucy was -standing by the window; I was leaning against her shoulder, -when she uttered a slight scream. I jumped, and came -near falling, but she caught hold of me, and pointing towards -the window, showed me the cause of her terror. -One well-aimed blow of mine felled the intruder to the -earth, and the footman coming in just then, gave him the<span class="pagenum" id="Page49">[49]</span> -finishing touch. But, alas! my days of pleasant servitude -were drawing near a close. Lucy became dissatisfied -with me, and in a fit of pique, handed me over to the -cook, by whom I was hustled hither and thither, wherever -her fancy dictated. She was a careless woman, and one -day, while I was doing all I could to serve her, she actually -pushed me into the fire! Snatching me out as -quickly as possible, she plunged me into a bucket of cold -water; but I was disfigured and crippled for life, and disabled -from further service. The cook at length declared -she would no longer give me house-room, and one bitter -cold night, turned me out into the street, without a stitch -of clothing.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements.
