"Are YOU there. JimY"

1t was the Gargoyle's piping voice. There
was positive grin wreatned into the WINK ies
! on his face as he sauntered into the NadeAu
I foyer last evening and explained 10 Clerh
Leaning that since Governor Budd had taken
| the oath Are you there, Jm2" was now the
| proper salutation.
"Andthat rem nds me, said the Gargoyle-
"have you heard the latest bulletin from Tue
sick chamber OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Mil
| lard?"
whats the matter, has he taken another
oath?" asked Leaning.
| EXACTLY - but "a" - then the Gargoyle
/ paused and his wrinkles lost somewhat Oh
| their 6 rim as he reflected on the impertinence

''Oh, well, if you know it all" he SAID
S ernly, II needn't waste my time taking
about it here" and the Gargoyle was about to
shake the dust OF the Mad .au from his soles
when bright idea struck Jack Leaning. 1t
took form n the shape of long concha fina,
presented with com lacent remark to him OF
the wrinkles.
When the thin blue smoke was curling
heavenward- heaven is in the direction OF
the Nadeau's second story parlors-the Gar
goyle forgave the past and beg IN to unbosom
himself in this wise:

lard and his oaths. He takes them regularly,

clan. And why not? They're d ing him o
deal of good, ev IDENTIFY, 1t was the only thing

as each new oath does its work. 1t was the
idea OF Dr.. Davsison, l believe. He wrote
perscrit ton something like this" 1.-THE Gar

The Gargoyle was grinning as he passed into
the grill room. Presently he came out after
toothpck, and stopped lone enough to ex-
press his sentiments abou. Adolph Sutro.
