In 15 years, he has not done so. But time does not dim his autograph; instead it grows a bit plainer as the sag I in the ceiling sags a little more completion of projects.

Well, what the autograph al bum, guest book and plants are to these, the sags In our ceiling And the crack Just over the cooler door is a constant re minder of the party who left several crates of household be longings until "I can get settled and send for them." Well, all I have to say is that he stays un settled a mighty long time. And the spread in the bed room door casing is a constant, and increasing, reminder of the lad who left, among other things many other things a huge old-fashioned phonograph. And the son expects sometime to send for the boxes of books which make the sag in the ceiling just over the dining table. One family stored in our at tic, of all things, a dozen old fashioned irons- Maybe some time they would be pioneering like us and need them. And sometime those who left boxes of fruit Jnrs, automatic chicken feeders and huge scales will call for them. We have their word for It. As we have the word of those leaving two crates of phonograph records, and a stack of curly maple blocks stored in our attic to "season." Then there is a box of quartz specimens; makes a small but de finite sag, that one; as does the half ton or so of geographies. One son, he with the drift wood In his shoes, has contribut ed a whole series of sags; for, on his return, rather than work his way through the crates of cloth ing, framed pictures and other articles which friends have left since he did, he Just goes out and buys new- Soon he takes off again, leaving a fresh autograph in the way of a new bulge. So do not present us with an autograph album or guest book. We will remember you by the added sag in our ceiling you are bound to make sooner or later. American League W. I.
