while Ways answered to the name of
Amanda Jane. They we're mighty
nice girls, and IS the old settlers say

OH the knights of the Grip.
Are a set of fine men,
We would like everybody to know
Who, through sunshine or storm,
In daylight or dawn,
Are continually on the go,
No matter what winds,
Or waves may prevail.
You may count on them every time,
With grip and umbrella,
They heed not the weather,
In fact they say all kinds are fine
Oh! the knights of the Grip. ~
Are the men who can wear,
The smile that never off"
II you give them ar order,
They smile a. bit broader.
.But-they smile at the rude rebuff.
They never have troubles
Or cares of their own,
Of they do. they're kept out Of sight.)
If your business is poor
Twill be better. they're sure,
Ere long twill all come out just right.
oh! the knights Of the Grip.S
Are the me with strong Wills;
Each Is sure h a his goods are all
right.
Your trade will demand them,
When once they have tried them.
And proving this is their great de-
light.
They never look slip -shod, ...
Or dusty or seedy,
But always as neat as a pin,
Not a g~rease-spot or wrinkle
Stays with them more'n a twinkle,
In fact, there's no flies upon them
oh! the knights of the Grip,
Are wide-awake workers,
They'll appear at the Gate by and

And methinks good st. Peter
Smiling, will say in short metre,
AS he raises the wicket on high.
Welcome home, my brave friends,
To the joys of heaven;
You made of your life a good trip.
Very few enter here,
Whom I greet with more cheer.

No need FOR A TRUCK

sent in a letter to Mr.. Lang which
ran something like this:
