Things have come to pretty pass
when a young man can't call on his
sweetheart for an evening or two
without being reported mysteriously
missing and his friends turn out to
find him. The right way to do when
manageable young man is missing
is for the searching party to inquire
at every home where there is a
pretty girl and not talk of turning out
with a pack of bloodhounds chasing
the coons, 'possums and rabbits to
find him.
One extremely unpopular thing
about an open winter is its frequent
tendency to close up hard and fast
with no apparent provocation and on
the shortest possible notice.
