days ago, stating she had heard

Joke, and wants TO know when I

graduated me, and ended by say
Ing. "PIease do not write me try
Ing 60 square yourself"
Now, Miss Grey, ! dearly love

urbs. My husband Is a meat cut
ter by trade. and must be at his
work by o'clock In the morning
and works until $40 p. m. during
tho week and 1873 p. m. on Satur-
days. Consequently, he must get
up 20 minutes before In the
morning, and does not get home
TIL 1880 In tho evening. When he
gets home, he ls so tired he goes
right TO bed, and on Sundays he Is
so tired from long hours he does
not get up until noon, and he

than to 90 out.
ask him why the butcher
shops do not close early Saturday
nights, and he says most Of the
people 90 70 shows first or other
places before they think Of buying
their meat.

70 protect animals from overwork,
but, as yet, mono TO protect people.
