Papa had his own ideas Of spending the
summer, and Clara did not fit into them.
However. like the true American father
he knew when he was beaten and capitulated.
He determined to spend as many nights
at the office as possible. This fitted in
with Clara 8 prospectus.
In the first place she sat down and wrote
a quantity of cunningly worded notes.
She had welded out her social register, and
sent these only to the men who were really
worth while-from the matrimonial point
Of view.
In the notes she informed them that she
was to stay in the city all summer owing
to certain domestic arrangements-and
that she would be at home on Tuesday
evenings. Tuesday was one Of papa g

Some men would rather live with a
wild cat than live alone.
When a man is not afraid of wo-
men, it is because he has had no ex-
perience.
We regret to announce that, among
16-year-old girls, that man is still the
he.o who spends more than he can
afford.
We have noticed that when girl
hasn't any greater Gaze than her
curls, she particularly likes to be
called a brave little woman"

He isn't doing think for it; he is

so great that they disci edit the figures

The assumption that the railroad com
panies of Wisconsin have not paid all the
taxes that their ownership of property calls
for Is based on the incorrect estimate made
by the tax authorities as TO the true

was but 81, 444, 591.273. In the same re-

having building lots to sell.
A few days ago, Assistant Secretary

proposed to divide this amount with Mr..
Taylor on condition that he should select
the site In question.
q Mr.. Taylor has selected scores of build
ing sites for the government and he has
listened to. all sorts OF arguments from in
