The automobile is, of course,

insidious assailant of ones purse. AS
children are large patrons OF the

should be forming. 1t is phase OF

agree that the existing army should
be made into an efficient machine.
The many assertions indicate that
something Is wrong.
1t has some times been remarked
that the army has less democratic

has something to do with the unpop-

This blooming month deserves
all praise, and should inspire
some poets song; it ought to have
two hundred days, and each day
just fortnight long. In May

there's not heat enough to hurt,
and we can play upon the lawn,
or manufacture pies of dirt. The
garden sass we love is cheap, and
we may have a full repast: the
nights are cool. and we can sleep
as slept Old Masters in the past.
In Nav the flies are far between,
and one can slumber in his bed,
On Sunday morn. without screen
in which to hide his weary head.
