ONN ;"
Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost a
small coin. He set his bag down and
looked for it. Found it, but somebody
else had run-ofi with his bag.
A man who is going to paint had bet
ter lockout for his gallons. Devoe is
the least-gallons paint.
It's gallons that cost; 1t isn't the price
of a gallon. With one paint, 10 gallons
is plenty; another, IL Or II or ID and
so on to % gallons; and every gallon
has to be paid-for and painted-$2 to 81
a day for painting paint s~tuffed-out
with some sort of whitewash. The less
the price of a gallon, the more the gal.
Ions.
Bank messengers better lookout for
their bags and not stop to hunt for
small coin; and property-owners better
lookout for the gallons that make the
e. expense, and not for the price which
has nothing to do with it.

But listen to these words of mine
Which I'm about to tell, oh!
"AIl, all is vanity, 1 trow,"
Thus truly saith the preacher.
And vanity is lurking now
In every pumpkin feature.

And very fairly rounded.
But on that happy fact this week
Thy downfall will be founded.
Since thou'rt so handsome on the vine

Methinks thou sure wilt look divine
