The Inside Facts.

An advertisement in an exchange
says. "A bolshevik never had a bank
account" That, we believe, was not
always the case. Probably he once
had comfortable sum. earned by hard
work and saved by careful skimp-
ing and continuous self-denial. in
bank presided over by smiling gent
who rejoiced in the title of "Honest
George" and was tireless in the church
work, prominent in all the lodges in
town, great favorite with the ladies',
full of civic pride, and with a hand
shake as clinging as the clutch xof an
octopus. The party pouchedsthe scudi
and hit the grit betwixt sun and sun
for parts unknown. Whereafter the
unfortunate depositor, having in sooth
no bank account, turned bolshevik and
ran about jibbering.

1--WE ought to have one," he urged.
1T would be like a battle cry, you
know. What we want is something
short and appropriate"
"Well," suggested one member,
what's wrong with "There's many q
slip 'twixt the cup and the kick?"
While one-half Of the meeting roared
with laughter the other half wanted
to throw him out. Then silence fell
as a speaker famed for his cutting hu-
NOR rose.
"You want something appropriate p
he said. "Well, you can't do better
than Nil Desperandum.' II you think
it's too long. you can drop the 'des-
perandum' and stick to the MIL It's
