What's the news?" “Well, really, Live, 1 must confess I—that is, you know—I hardly know what to say “A little ashamed of yourself at the way you've been acting here of late. Isn't that it?” “You've hit it, Lire, the very first time. I am thoroughly ashamed of myself. 1 used to do a lot of boast- ing, but it's humble pie for me in the future.” “And so it should be.

Glad to talk to you any time.” “ Thanks, awfully. Good-b: -1FE.” “Good-bye, Human Race. Comforting Te must have been terrible for you to have your son in jail for joy riding,” consoled the kind friend. “Yes, indeed,” sighed the mother; “but, then, it was such a comfort to know where he was nights.” Can't Choke Weighs only Your Legs Half an Ounce This Summer's RBIND will accept a NK always FITS—never_pinchcs—wears longer, the YEAR ROUND. your dealer is we will send, YOU CAN SLEEP after sunrise, on your sleeping porch, or camping, stably over the iN not fall off. and 1s well a8 pro~ 9 Sent postpaid for 25 cents, $ for $1.00 NIGHT MFG.
