states in some intelligent steps to

was reached when Governor Deneen
appointed a highway commission. At
banquet of the Illinois Manufacture

The aim is to bring about a wiser ex.

married my mother, but he died before

never heard his tongue spoken in the
family. When l was twenty-five my
mother suggested that l go to his ma

Thinking it would be a pleasant sur
prise to send an Offering to my rela-
tives with my card. l stepped into a
shop to buy some flowers. A flower
shop is the daintiest place in the
world. and the shop entered was the
daintiest of flower shops. Besides the
plants, there were birds and n little
fountain. Behind the counter was Il
pretty girl, with fair hair and blue
eyes and pleasant smile as with her
| eyes she gave me mute inquiry how
she could serve me. l stepped up TO
some roses, inhaled their delicious oder
and held up the five fingers of one
| hand and one of another. The girl
| took six roses and laid them on the
| counter. In this way I made up my
| own bouquet.
l was in no hurry to transact nay
| business and leave the shop. Indeed
