"1 wrote nt tho close of the story of
'Giuco Forlieach : 'Are there no trou

lc-. frank, not one.' And then, In
Tire ' ets, thus I set tho words

strix tlon to the printer and meant that
one line of spiice should be left clear.
The itcnlus who had the copy In hand

a' HuJ of verse, he gave nie:
"Km one, dear Frank, not one white

O
'They Say."
A petty falsehood, started by a gos
sip loving tongue,
Grew Into dire proportions, and upon
its blackness hung
A woman's reputation (pure, unsul
lied as the day)
And her whole life was darkened by
tho fatal words "They say."
A man of worth, with honest work
earned both success and gold,
Then envy pointed at him with a nod
and pointed hold:
IIo fills a sulcido's lono grave, yet
(doubt It yo who may),
His death was but tho poisoned fruit
of these two words "They say."
Oh, you who list to slander's tongue,
I charge you in God's name,
Have care! lest at tho harvest time
you reap a doublo shame:
And daro not for your own soul's
sake invito the dreadful day
When Justice must hand forth to you
tho fruit of the words "They say

Road tho Want Ade.
Spring Is here. Evidence of Its
coming Is proven by tho arrival of
tho Spring Poot and by tho unusual
activity In the Poots' Corner at tho
Milllcoma club. Tho "Toast and Tea"
man has received tho first invoice
of Spring poetry of the season. Hero
It Is:
The Leap Year Girl.
Coino along littlo girl
Boforo it's too late,
Take your eliolco of hoys
Whilo It's nlneteen-elght.
For if you don't
You may sit in tears
And linvo to wait
Another four years.
The Leap Year Boy.
Boys bo careful
Don't jump nt every chanco
Find out beforo you answer
llow many uncles and aunts.
For If you go it blind
You may ruo tho day
And wish to goodness
Leap year had stayed away.

It Is to bo hoped tho spring will

Adam 2, a total of 10 only. Now,
we figure the thing out differently.
Evo ato and Adam ato also; total 16.
Wg think the above figures en
tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam
8 2, certainly the total will be 90.
Scientific men, however, on the
strength of tho theory that the ante
diluvians were a race of giants, reas
on something like this: Eve 8 1
and Adam 8 2; total 163. Wrong
again, what could be clearer than
if Evo 8 1 and Adam 8 12, tho total
was 893.
If Evo 8 1 1st, and Adam 8 12,
would not the total be 162 3?
This Is better: Evo 8 14 Adam,
and Adam 8 12 4 Eve; together they
got away with 8938.
Again: If Evo 8 14 Adam, Adam
8 12, 4 2 obllgo Eve; total 82,056.
Wo think this, however, not a suf
ficient quantity, for, though wo ad
mit that Eve 8 14 Adam, Adam, if
ho 8, 0 2 8 1 2, 4 to keep Evo com
pany; total, SO, 282, 056.
All wrong. Eve when she 8 1, 8 1
2 many, and probably felt sorry for
It, but her companion In order to re
lieve her sorrow, S 1 2. Therefore,
Adam, if he S 1, 8 1 4 2 40fy Eve's
depressed spirits. Hence, both ate
81,896,864 apples.
Adding to this a slight variation
on the Gaelic World's suggestion that
when Eve, to satisfy tho curiosity
of her 6 8 1, 8 1 2 many, and felt
sorry, so Adam 8 12. Then Adam if
ho 8 1, S 1 4 2 40fy Evo's depressed
spirits. Consequently both ato S2.-
496, 864.
tug ueutcner Tagouiatt proposes,
however, that when Evo to satisfy
the curiosity of her (Gaelic pronun
ciation) 6, 8, 1, S 1 2 many and felt
sorry; Adam, when asked to eat
though ho first said (in German) 9,
8 12. Consequently If Adam after
saying 9 8 1, 8 1 4 2 40fy Evo's de
pressed spirits. Honco both ate
9S2.505.S64 apples.
