Sarah recognized the first card she

was still the rayed splotch in the up

Mutual satisfaction resulted from

puzzled them. And Sarah had food

the main thing with her.
And then the almanac lied and said
that spring had come. Spring comes

Sarah was crying over her bill of
fare.
Think of a New York girl shedding
tears on the menu card.
TO account for this you will be al
lowed to guess that the Holsters were
all out. or that she had sworn ice
cream off during Lent. or that she had
ordered onions. or that she had just
come from Hackett matinee. And
then, all these theories being wrong.
you will please let the story proceed.
The gentleman who announced that
the world was an oyster which he
with his sword would open made a
larger hit than he deserved. 1t is not
difficult to open an oyster with a
sword. But did you ever notice any
one try to open the terrestrial bivalve
with a typewriter: Like to wait for a
dozen raw opened that way?
Sarah had managed to pry apart the

and clammy world within. She knew
no more shorthand than if she had
been graduate in StenOgraphy just
let slip upon the world by a business
college. So. not being able to stenog
she could not enter that bright galaxy
of office talent. She was a free lance

of copying.
The most brilliant and browning feat
of Sarah'S battle with the world was
the deal she made with Schulenberg

next door to the old red brick in which
she hall roomed. One evening after
dining at Schulenberg's forty cent five
course table d'hOte (served as fast as

away with her the bill of fare. 1t was

their right and proper heads, from

It seems that the club desired to have
the poet address the organization at

was scheduled for recitation.
In due time there came an answer

Counterfeiters.

Tommy had been reading a great
deal in the newspapers about senator's
and congressman and lawmaking, and
his mind was filled with legislative
matters. On many occasions his IA
Their had explained as best he could
the articles of which the newspapers
treated and took pains to voice his
opinion, which was not always favor
able.
With his mind so actively fortified
and growing Tommy could not help
asking his father one day:
"Say, pop, why is a senator like a
counterfeiter?"
"That's too strong for me-" replied
his father. What's the answer?'
Because" answered Tommy trirm-
phantly "he makes and tries to Ie.Ae
some pretty bad bills"
