morning. OF leaving cigarette ashes all
over the place for me to clean up. or
scattering the Welsh rabbit from one
end Of the fiat to the other, bat when
the red checked man sits on my piano
keys when be gives an imitation OF
something or somebody and I have to
pay "a to have my piano tuned the
next day that'ii be about all."-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.
