that he could give the clever chap

prints it for the benefit Of its readers.

him a Cremo.
Behold the young one groweth up
and graduateth. And the editor put
teth into his paper q swell notice
Yea, a peach Of a notice. He telleth
Of the wisdom Of the young woman
and Of her exceeding comliness. Like
unto the roses Of Sharon is she and
her gown is played up to beat the
band. And the dressmaker getteth
two-score and four iron men. And
the editor gets q note Of thanks from

Of our most promising young men and
getteth away with it. And they send
him q bid to the wedding feast, and
behold the bids are fashioned by
Montgomery Hawbuck. in a far dis.

In the outskirts Of Chicago there Is

Another man whose days are also

This Is but an illustration Of the
ingenuity that Is being brought to
into play all over the country, a trait
which seems TO predominate the
American people.
1t only requires a little ingenuity,
a little determination and reasonable
