Come on anybody.

Come ton anybody.
The Williams correspondent reports
that her robin has arrived at last and
that on Tuesday of last week it sat
and sang in her apple tree and she
could hardly get her washin' done for
watching him. Now that the robin
is come, the correspondent wants to
know, if she is ''yindicated with her
three R's-completely accomplished
facts-and of three" quoth she, 1.-The
robin alone is tangible, for who can
find the rain of yesterday and as for
romance after it is a facts it?'
Yes, we'd say you are vindicated now
all right. But there is something about
! your rain and soil up there that we
cannot understand If You could find
no trace of the rains the day after,
you either got darn little or else your
soil Is like porous plaster-it alb
serbs 'em too fast Down here every
hole in the ground was brim full and.
running over for several days after
the heavy rains Of last week. AS for
ance--well, that's large question
and we hardly know how to tackle it.
What is romance, anyway? An old
fossilized bachelor the other day asked
us that question. He wanted to know
if it is something good to eat. Well,
to be honest about it, we hardly know
what it is. Our uplift manual says it's
a lie. Maybe it is. However, we are
sure that, if romance" is to be made
a fact, there must be time, place
and girl.
