I'm trying to make it up.
Why don't you write letter some
to have anything like that to regret I?
TELL them you can be just as good
as you know how to some one e1se's
old people Ill the rest of your life,
but it doesn't make up if you weren't
as kind and patient as you might have
been to your own.

and he was terribly exasperating at
times, but hang it all, he was sick and
lonesome, and I ought to have been
so much more decent

to millions, whose pin money is said to
be $500 a week, as she was telling of
her experience with bailiffs and law

DR.. Robert Good; dentist.
The story briefly old is this: Some
time ago Miss Anheuser had work
done by DR.. Good. He charged her
$25 an hour. The bill has never been
paid.
When she came to Chicago to attend
the opera Dr. Good attached her
trunks, including the one containing
the gown she was to wear. After ap-
peals for help, Edward F. Mayer, treas
urer of the Stratford, gave bond to the
bailiff who was perched on the trunk.
"The work was no good anyway"
Miss Anheuser said. 'It had to be
done all over again. And $25 an hour!
