Every man thinks his job is the
hardest, but when most of those en-
gagged IN regular pursuits sit down
with pencil and paper and really
give the subject of strenuosity a care
fuI consideration they must arrive at
the conclusion that the hodcarrier and
the collector of more or less bad ac-
counts are to be awarded the palms

LONDON, March 4.-The king this
week paid visit to Lady Kinloss at

wlthin recent years that the king has
been there.

Bills Are Insults
Another sort of a deadbeat is the

soon as he puts foot in his office. His
pan is to bluff and his method to

what ne intends to do if the visit IS
repeated, and what he will do ANYWAY
