Secretary Shaw, the new head OF the

Finally the chap married and in duo
time he became a father. He was
proud of this and spent $40 in tele-
grams to friends and relatives, $3.50
for cigars and SlS.65 for drinks.
The baby thrived and grew. At the
end OF four months the youngster was
an old story and weighed twenty-five
pounds and few ounces. When the
mother wanted the erstwhile proud
father to tote the heir from the house
to the trolley car the father made an
awful roar.

he breathed like a stalled gasoline au-
