please don't keep them in suspense. ii
the II. L. G. has become monotonous TO
you, Pm sure we are indeed sorry of ii,

ly in the progress of this club and its OBJ
jects TO allow it to become stale to them.
Friends, this organization may be likened
to an army whose ranks are
filled with enthusiastic volunteers
pledged to advance in the enchanted
march OF progress as behooves the pro-
motors of patriotic movement which

tue may look uD to heaven and not blush.
My friends we cannot dream ourself into a
character oh, no. we must work and
forge that ourself. Consequently we must
look after the spare moments. III We
can't have time enough of our own at
once TO complete a contribution for the
IL. l.. &. page, let Us devote our spare mo-
ments for the completion Of the same and
by so doing we will be doing our duty to-
ward the club and improving ourselves
and perhaps some one else.

quest. The question IL, will we remain

his request? I'll speak for myself and
trust each member will do likewise.

contented with our present executor.

pear on the page "Oh, yes, | took that

"Mystic Dreamer" the reason that
some people stare" like Idiots" is simply
because they can't prevent ii. Cali again,
and you will soon learn that those persons
are harmless as a dove, or this has been
my experience. "POmpadour" Pm
deeply surprised at your return to the
page, however il was pleasant
surprise. l presume you will desert
the page for an aye and an aye now,
for you are so perfect, and the girl of the
present day is so defective, that your per-
feet scruples and their Effectiveness will
surely not 60 well together. "Pompadour,
believe in the old adage, barking dogs
seldom bite" And after you have barked
till you are tired and don't care 10 bark any
more, you Will set aside your usual modus
opersndi and marry the girl OF the period.
You NAV accuse me OF feeding the girls
taffy with a SCOOP shovel, and fishing for
compliments if Won like. presume you
never descend TO this perch yourself. Oh,
no. you fly too high for that. Well, some
of the members of our club NAV believe
such is the case. But am too old bird
to be caught by chaff.
I'm one of them that welcomes your
return, and / hope you will be more
active in the future than you have been in
the past. A welcome to all new mem
bers. advance"
