life have their first names changed |

wise. Oftentimes they change the !
spelling of it by dropping or adding
letters and substituting others that |

When she grew mp and went to
school, she dropped the 81" from her
name and it was MAY" Later when |
she began to shine in society's |
sphere she substituted "e' for "y' |
and newspaper reporters were noti-
fled to spell it "Mae." About year

has dropped the "e' and it Is plain

Az EXCHANGE says: 1--WE want TO
hear Just one sermon from the man
who can beat the preacher preaching. |
We want to witness ono days teach
ing by the same fellow who can beat |
the teacher teaching. We want to
watch the fellow do days plowing
| that can beat the farmer farming. |
And there's the fellow who knows
more about medicine than all the
doctors in the universe we want to
see him practice his art on himself
for Just one day. And then there is
1 the fellow who can beat the editor |
ten to one IN getting out paper. We
| want to see what kind OF sheet he /
would issue from the press. The
| trouble with such characters is, that
they cannot attend to their own bus
ines. and therefore think they know
all about that OF other people.
