Blessed is the wife who is not

It is hard to realize there was

As a rule times are not as hard

when she asks for money.
Most of us worry a great deal
for fear people will find out
things about us they already

The reason more women than
men apply for divorce is that a

Marriage is the ceremony

At first we were positive we
did not write that ‘ ‘Ode to the
Saxson,” but after reading the
Sentinel’s criticism, we were left
a little in doubt about it. How
ever, after perusing Bede’ s last
able (?) editorial on the subject,
we are almost fully persuaded
that we did write it. Now if the
real author don’ t come forth and
accuse us of plagiarism our fame
is assured.

Petrograd, via London.-rAn official
communication concerning the prog
ress of the campaign as Issued from
general headquarters states:
"The enemy made a most desperate
resistance to our offensive.
“ They had brought up every avail
able man on the front from the direc
tion of Uartfeld as far as Uzsok Pass,
including even German troops and
numbers of cavalrymen fighting on
foot. The enemy's effectives on this
front exceeded 400 battalions. (An
Austrian or German battalion num
bers 1000 men.) Moreover, our troops
had to overcome great natural diffi
culties at every step.
"Nevertheless, 18 days after the
opening of our offensive, the bravery
of our troops enabled us to complete
the task assigned and we had seized
the principal chain of the Carpathians
on a front between Reghetov and Vol-
osate, of 110 versts (about 75 miles).
"To sum up: On the whole Carpa
thian front, the enemy has suffered
enormous losses and has left in our
hands in prisoners alone at least 70,-
000 men, including about 900 officers.
Further, we have captured 30 guns and
200 machine guns.
“ On April 16 the actions in the Car
pathians were concentrated in the di
rection of Rostokl.
"The enemy, despite the enormous
losses suffered, delivered In the course
of that day no less than 16 attacks in
great strength. These attacks, all of
which were absolutely barren of re
sult, were made against the heights
we have occupied farther to the east
of Telepotch.”
