AT THE HOSPITAL

Most every day he makes his
round
The Ache and Pain collector:
And gathers Pains wherever found
Within his busy sector.
And every suffering Jack and Jane
Is labeled, punched and dated,
And from each smart and ache and
pain
Is straightway separated.
And so it comes about that they
With not a soul to mind them
Will from the Cure.House make
their way
But leave their Pains behind
them.
They leave their pains. Right.
Pains are left.
They're amputated pronto!---
Since of possessors they're bereft
Where are those Paintings gone
to?
Well, let me make the matter plain
With truthfulness distressing:
Doc works away with every Pain
Till it becomes a Blessing.
So it is plain for all to see,
Good sister and good brother,
The Pain you suffer yet may be
A Boon to bless another.

Quoted on the lines II started on when
the business was young and when It was
more or less of a one-man affair. Such
changes as have been made are really
caused by pressure rather than by plan

more or less law unto himself"

He called UP Hazelbrook on the tele-
phone and said: "Mr. Hazelbrook, you

The experience in delivery method
that l had with Jim was more or less
typical of the whole let Of teamsters.,

team with unusual care, that it was
carefully busted and that pains were
taken TO see that the drawers and KEYS
were complete.
Casually l remarked to Jim: Where S
that junk going to--the President of the
United States?'
Jim grinned and answered: Didn't
ye pipe the sales ticket? It's got the
old mans mark on IT,"
then learned that as furniture was
sold the salesman tied a Sold" label on
1t and initiated it. Anything that Hazel
brook himself sold was therefore ham

At the end of the week Bruno Duke
asked me: We'll. Friend Peter, have
you discovered anything worthy Of tell

Yes. sir" began, and eagerly re-

He listened attentively till was

His tones expressed incredulity, pro-

closely about. The men brandished

Then they must go? There is no

appeal.
With mouths open eyes searing in
silent, frenzied appeal, they all turned
from her to the officer. The silence was
breathless. The wet wind swirled

"Hazelbrook has a splendid store, as
you observed. The fittings and general

furniture is displayed to the very best

Dining room suites, for instance, are
displayed in three-wall booths or rooms,
the walls hung with expensive paper or
burlap, and beautiful pictures are on

Good rugs on the floor add to the
attractiveness of the suites. The dining
