Luke MoLuke says

The woman who tries to hide the fuzz on her face by covering it with pound of flour merely manages to make the fuzz look fuzzier.
 The old-fashioned boy whose Mother used to get bolt of goods and make hickory shirts for the family at a cost of about cents a shirt, now has family of boys who would be deeply humiliated if they were asked to wear shirt that cost less than $5.
 A reader asks Luke how long 1t has been since he saw a What Not Well, we saw one less than a dozen years ago. It was standing in a corner of an old-fashioned parlor in which the blinds were kept closed all day to keep the sun from fading the carpet, except when company came or there was a wedding or a funeral In another corner stood the Cabinet organ with a Moody and Sankey hymnbook on the mu- sic rest. In the center of the room was a handicapped table, on which reposed the big Family Bible. On one side was a faded red plush sofa, and against the walls stood stiff-backed chairs, with shiny horsehair seats and backs Over the organ hung a faded print of Rock of Ages" in which a purple girl clung to a yellow stone cross. while green wave washed her feet and a pink angel hovered over her head Over there was Fathers pic ture taken when he was married, when sidewhiskers were fashionable And opposite was Mothers picture, with her hair parted in the middle and combed back smoothly.

In view of the fact that this office receives the daily record of business transacted in Congress- some of wickersham's claims Of legislation urged by him s wildly extravagant If the voters of this district wond subscribe to the Congressional Record our Delegates chances for reelection would be very small; but they don't. They get their information bv word of mouth or by ceverly worded literature sent out by the Delegate.
