Various ROulte s.

Some men take the poison route
While some jump in the lake;
And others get gun and, shoot,
And some gas treatment take.
By cigarettes some get them hence,
Some on the thin ice slide,
While others go to more expense
And take an auto ride.

down tC, the, street. The Ellis who
had entered so buoyantly an hour be-

unexpected thing of ala note from

guess? He has been transferred from
