one of the signs forbidding throwing
stones at squirrels in Chautauqua
Park, remarked to her mother as we

that sign? I don't see any squlr

she added, "Although there are plen

' V. O. N. Smith, who was one of the

are collecting paper, why don't they
gather up all the perfectly nice bond
paper used for shares In the broom
factory? It should not go to waste
altogether."
A certain Miss M. A. of Medford
was heard to remark, being shown

them was for monkeys and one for
