pairing the smart traits OF their re-

months old. An old bachelor who was
in the next room trying to read then
Clipped in and said that wasn't any

Bible that Job cursed tho day he was
born. That settled 1t and the ladies
adjourned.

the hook after removing 1t from the

will prevent much trouble by reason o.
