 All innocence, she glibly asked: Do you know Francis?'
 I couldn't claim the pleasure of his acquaintance. so gallantly replied: No, Francis who?"
 France is a beautiful country she replied.
 Fool that I was to have fallen so easily into the trap, but l schemed for my revenge. A little later I calm ly remarked: Do you know Sonia ?'' She unsuspectingly answered: NO; Sonia who?"

Hot water gushed from a well driven near Sebring. Florida. and is coming to the surface at the rate of 40 gallons a minute. The flow has maintained an even temperature of 130 degrees and shows no signs of abating. This is the second hot water well brought in in Florida orc having been drilled at Pensacola about 20 years ago. The first well ceased to flow when the drill broke through rock and diverted the water into a subterranean lake

 Numas probably would say, T found my life interesting at times even in old But the first 30 years my youth. were better than all the $40 years that followed.'
