Quickly attached on dash $250 or above wind-shield LIFE Fish An—to sail the seven seas! To stand with my face to the clean wind and taste the salt on my lips! To thrill at the might of huge, wind-maddened waves and hurl a laugh of defiance into the gale. To steep my soul in the peaceful solitude of the sea at night! To feast my starved eyes on sunrise and sunset on a calm sea! I seem to hear the suri booming against some distant, far-flung shore. I seem to see a sturdy old sailing vessei defyin; hundred million waves as she cuts ‘her venturesome path through that great ex- parse of heaving, roaring peril. I seem to ear the deepi rough voices of strong men, of great, rel - chested, two - fisted, weather-beaten men—men who drink deep, fight furiously, curse gloriously and taunt the sea for its puniness. I will stand it no longer! My mind is made up!! I shall cast aside this foolish pen. I shall dash out through yon open door to the great wide* spaces beneath God’s sky, and there, by Heaven, I will throw these damned goldfish into the ash- can! Then, perhaps, I shall be.able to keep my mind off the sea and attend to my business. Frank Francis. Teacher: How much is fifteen and five? Taxt-Dariver’s Son: Seventy-five cents a mile.
