MANY USES OF THE OCEANS
They Are Here Enumerated, and You
May Accept or Reject the Facts
as You Prefer.

Oceans are found in various parts or
the world, where they spend their time
in tapping shores, infringing upon the
rights of continents, and swallowing
up islands, ships and people
Oceans are salty to the taste and
are used by yachtsmen to get away
from their wives, also to cover up
cabled newspaper stories about kings
and queens, and to float nayies and
other debts.
An ocean spends it's time in having
storms and making surf. 1t delights
in making innocent people sick and III
playing with children's legs Without
oceans there would be no steamships
and gambling would decline.
Every ocean has set of fish when
do not even pay ground rent, but spend
their time like people who live on
land, namely, in devouring each other
Besides ordinary fish, oceans nave
whales, Holsters and mermaids. me
mermaids live on rocks just as girls
on dry land do. The Holsters also
live shellfish lives in lobster palaces
The whales lie around and wait LOT
the happy time when they can perform
useful work supplying bones for cor
sets or to oil the wheels of child labor
factories
Some oceans employ professions
sea serpents, which they use during
the summer for advertising purposes,
Oceans also have zones, seaweed ana
spohges. When an ocean has been
out all night it likes to take sponge
bath, hence it always keeps on hand
a constant supply of these useful tolleh
articles.-Life.

Very early in her poetic career the
widow Drew was called a fool aud

would ever look at her with view to

they argued could abide such wife.

half an hour later he knocked at the
door.
