Ten GOOD REASONS
Why Every Respectable Thinking
Man Should Swear Just As Often
And As Hard AS He Can.

Because it ID such an elegant way
of expressing ones thoughts.
Because it is such conclusive
proof of taste and good breeding.
3-Because it is such sure way of
making ones self agreeable to his
friends.
because it ia positive evidence of
acquaintance with good literature.
because it furnishes such a good
example and training for boys.
6-Because it is just what q mans
mother enjoys having her son do;
because it would look 80 nice in
print.
8-Because it is such good way of
increasing ones self respect.
S-Because it is such help to man
hood and virtue in many ways.
1O-Because it is such an infallible
way of improving ones chances in the
hereafter.

Beilstein. proudly. Rather it is I

the bars Of the sonata were broken

canyon. For an instant Beilstein
only drew himself more erect; the
strong chords leaped headleng from
the quivering strings.

across the fuse. His warm body killed
the little fire that had meant SO
frightful a death!

we buried him under the shadow Of
the Rockies. He sleeps there peace
