PARTING OF FRIENDS
They Have Accomplished their Mis-

Forever.

Many years ago our foreman
brought to the office fine looking
garment that he called an apron. It
was quite gay in it's colorings and if a
chicken fancier was scoring it's
plumage it would have received ten
points on color. For many days, per-
haps week, it maintained Its beauty
OF color and cut, but as time touched
the hem OF that garment 80 wither-
ing and fading of "plumage" was
perceptible, and, instead of its bright
rainbow shadings and hues, there ap.
peared the inky blackness of the
print shop.
One day while the devil was sweep
ing near it, it fell to the floor and no.
ticing that it left mark the size of
itself and an ability to strengthen it..
self up after the fall, his imperial ma
jesty advised the foreman that good
washing would improve the appear
ance of that implement,-its texture
now being quite woody.
The foreman of course took excep.
tions to advice emanating from such
. source, and rather than have
trouble with that gentlemen, passed
it off by saying that it was not quite
ripe enough to wash.
With us it learned to walk and talk,
And on itself rely;
With the little tooth it cut at two,
It's been 80 very sly.
1t used to wallow in the dirt, when
young, and get itself quite nasty but
now it doesn't need to. From q
bowling little brat it's grown quite
keen to be cigarette fiend, and howls
as late as ever. Its4fghting qualities
are we'll preserved and would as soon
fight its mother as q man 1.-THE son.of.
