The weather-vane on top of the old church steeple furnishes an interesting puzzle. Toward what direction is the wind blowing? And what two words can be spoll- ed with the letters N, 8, E, and W?

Yesterday's Answer:

If 10 horseman and 14 horses were coming along a road, the number of their heads and legs would total 100. The men have 10 heads, the borses 14, making 24. Adding 20 lege for the mea, 44; and 56 legs for the borsós brings the total to 100.

Another answer is 5 men and} 17 horses.
