inning.

Y, nursery. l understand the
crop is large, the trees literally
breaking down under their burden
of fruit.
We are never impressed with the
fact that we are growing old so
fast until something calls our at
tention to the great rapidity with
which age is creeping on those

younger than ourselves. For in

the day before, or the day before
that, that he was a "cub" in the
printing office. And now he has a
granddaughter. Truly, time flies.
