BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,

Benjamin Franklin remains one of the striking figures of the revolu- ton. He was always a great be- liever in the home. When one thinks how easy it is to possess one through the Home Builders and what pretty place Las Palmas is to live in and how close to town the new car line brings it, there is little wonder that everybody is buying there.

Significant Symbols That Always Have
Had Deep Purpose and
Meaning.

When a man is not telling the truth
he is apt to clench his hands, as few
men can lie with their hands open
A man who holds his thumb tightly
within his hand has weak will power.
Strong willed persons hold their
thumbs outside when shutting their
hands.
Shaking hands when greeting was
originally an evidence that each per
son was unarmed.
Among the savage tribes when a
man holds up his hands it is sign of
peace, an evidence that he is unarmed
or does not intend to use weapons.
An outlaw says, Hold up your hands!'
meaning thereby to make victim pow
erless to resist attack.
When man kisses the hands Of a
woman he expresses his submission
This is also the idea when kissing the
hands Of kings. BY this act their
superiority is acknowledged.
When an oath is taken it is done by

against the diminutive Ethiopian was
the theft of half a dozen watch fobs.

"Then she kissed me,and that's not
the worst Of It, for by this time a big
crowd had collected and women were
yelling and men shouting You brute,
release that woman!' / pleaded with
her to go home, but she wouldn't do
but stay right there and kiss
me. Then the man on the beat came
around and rescued me. So arrested
her for-well, couldn't think Of any
thing to call 1t but extreme disorderly

she was 80 and lived at 1871 Freeman
