feel like the last rose of summer,
Smiles is the longest vord in the
English language, because there Is
a mile between the first and last
letter.
There are three ways to spread news:
Telegraph, telephone and tell a woman.
Some say that the last is the

only they could see themselves as they
appear to others, they would see how
senseless and undignified they look as
they give way on all occasions to gig

from boarding school called from the
foot of the stairs: Willie, the Orient Is
ablaze and our morning reflections
awaits your presence." No reply deing
heard the mother takes her place and
calls: "William, you lazy dogskin, get
up this minute and come to breakfast."
And still there was no answer where
upon the man stepped to the stairs and
merely said "Bill!" "Coming Sir!"
was the instant response and in three
minutes a united family sat at the
table. .
