Wake upi
Don't go TO sleep until bedtime
You are apt TO get the worst of IL IL you
go about gaping in the day time. III you
get up In the morning with that tired
feeling, stay In the house and lay around,
loose-like, until you recuperate by an
other indulgence in Natures sweet re-
storer. There's no use In coming down
street sleepy. You are very apt TO run
across the other fellow who has his eyes
open, and before you know ii, he has
got the better OF the transaction you may
be interested in.
The idea we wish TO convey is: that 1t
Will not do in the electric age in which
we live TO be in anyway timid or TO allow
the other fellow to brow beat, caiole or
frighten you into doing anything you do
not want 10 do. To be ready for emer-
gencies You must be wide awake. Do
you catch onf Do you follow me, so to
speak, this evening while we are seated
about the festive "Tea Table,? Very
well. Just perambulate the sugar with
out the tongs.
DO you like TO eat your evening meal,
or your morning meal, or your midday
lunch, as II you are walking through a
cemetery, or do you believe in laughter
and pleasant chatting as an aid TO diges-
contemplate any one acting as II II we're
an effort TO request the nearness OF the
butter or the bread, and to observe them
as they try TO impress you with the idea
that they are great thinkers and have no
time TO talk between the shoveling in OF
the food with knife. But how can you
help II? IL you get an axe and do them
bodily injury you will get arrested.
BY the way, have you been to Crescent
Park in the evening yet and enjoyed one
of Boyden's o o'clock clambakes, includ-
ing Squantum chowder which beats all
the chowder you ever ate dt six? Then
"Pinafore, under the direction OF ID. W.
Reeves. Have you seen 1t? What,
never?
Chief Clerk johnson OF the Narragan-
sett Is still at that famous hostelry where
j first met him all OF 10 years ago, and
cashier Dave Hall fingers as of yore, just
the same as a dozen years or more, giving
every man one OF his seven benign smiles
with a receipted b II, and Ned Davis and
the rest of the staff in the Office look as
familiar and sleek as good clothes and
fine food can make them. Every mothers
son OF them seem adapted for their sew
eral positions.
A little quotation from "Public Opin-
ion" regarding the Friends School,
which i have taken the liberty TO refer
to lately may be of interest to some of
those at the "Tea Table" this evening.
Here IL is: "The moral and social train
ing of the institution, an important mat
ter in education, reaches individual re-
sponsibility and obedience to personal
conviction of right and duty. The end
TO be attained is that the child shall
stand safely and firmly when the foster
ing influences OF school and home are with
drawn"
Speaking about the Narragansett, l re-
memb Der when the spiles were driven for
the foundation stones. / remember many
incidents about the hostelry that would,
IL woven into a reminiscent yarn, make
pretty good reading. But things OF
that sort are never referred to except in
case of accident or fire and as the Nara
gansett seems TO be fortunately free from
anything of the sort, the opportunity to
pen a few paragraphs is lacking.
Wonder how many readers can remem-
Der when the Misfit Clothing parlors, now
located at 199 Westminster street, were at
81 Weybosset street? AS time rolls on
some things progress. The Misfit Cloth
ing parlors have that distinguishing mark.
Selling goods at a figure TO command
trade all the year round is what did the
business.
/ ran across a man the other day who
had a model OF an invention that is des-
tined TO save life. 1t was life raft made
of cork and pine, warranted not TO sink
and to carry 20 persons. There are
lockers for food and water and a stow
away for mast, sail and oars. The inven-
tor II retired sea captain who recog-
nized the fatal effects of the launching of
ordinary boats in time OF danger, which
in the majority of cases, capsized or were
totally unfit for the service required OF
them. 1t looked 10 me like a good thing
push it overheard. OLD VET.
