those who are followers of the faith,
and who may be as deeply imbued
with religion as was Phillip II. of
Spain, but still it sounds very incOn-
sistent to proclaim it broadcast under
present conditions.
Last Friday evening we were told by
one of the orderlies of the dollhouse to
put on our coat and cap and go to
court. We fastened to do so, and
while going through the Irvine shop,
out on the back street, then on up
the street and through the shoe shop,
our mind was kept busy trying to
recollect what infringement we could
possibly have made on the rules. We
were so deeply occupied that we failed
to admire the beautiful scenery OH the
way. Although we stopped for about
five minutes in the shoe shop, we
couldn't swear as to whether the ma
chinery was stopped or running. When
we arrive in the corridor, opposite the
courtroom, we almost wilted when we
were handed box of soap and told to
step lively. AS we stepped out we
thought we saw someone's eye
twinkle with mirth at our dis
appointment. The exercise was
delightful and invigorating p, and the
sensations were all that one could
desire.
Shavem Pete-the one with a gilt
ter in his eye, which denotes intelli-
gence-had an experience with new
member Of the migrating Annual
Colony" which proves that Pete has
intelligence of high order. The new
arrival in question is one of that specie
known as lantern. jaw; in fact very
marked case, having hollow in his
cheek large enough to hide wafnuts in.
After being bathed and dressed, the
new arrival was led to Shavem Pete's
chair, where No. OOO6's flowing locks
were soon clipped. Pete quickly ap-
piled lather to his face and started to
shave him, but here Pete encountered
a problem-how to get the hair out of
those trenches in his cheek. Pete's
bevel gear worked rapidly, and Selling
him by the jaw he jerked open his
mouth and, inserting his thumb, he
pushed out the cheek and proceeded
to shave him in graceful manner.
Passing to the other side of his face,
Pete with confidence born of expert
ence, proceeded to use his master
stroke-from ear to chin. Pete's razor
started from the ear 0. X, but it never
reached the chin. With dash it en-
tered No. OOO6's cheek, cutting all the
way through to Pete's thumb. Hold
ing his injured thumb aloft, Pete for
got the rule of silence and blurted out:
"There you blankety, BANKED, lantern
jawed fool, you made me cut my
thumb

We haven't the least idea when Pete
the Poet arrived here, but we think it
was shortly after the Indians were
driven off the place. He is not under
the reformatory plan.
There is a man located above our
mansion who is either doing penance
or is trying to make a century run, via

as our pension money becomes due we
shall make him a present of pair of
