Once-Overs


Whatever you do borrow from your friends
Go to regular oneyender.
Put up the necessary security and ask favors
Many good and valuable friendships go the rocks
through this habit
If you do your friend, you apt get
little careless about prompt return OF the money.
Perhaps your friends falsely polite and say take
your time
Nine cases out of ten such advice truly meant but
given as to appear courteous.
You be shocked and think your friend had lost faith
you he or she should ask security for your request
But your friend should be protected than
stranger in case misfortune deferred your payments
All money matters subject to peculiar twists unex-
pected turns, upon which you cannot count.
Treating your friend right giving security ample
you would stranger; otherwise, do borrow from
friend.

Coroner Swain said today that
while he had received reports that
the baby's throat had been slashed,
there would be little opportunity to
prove this statement. as the body
has wasted away, and in fact, the
only way the baby's age can be
appropriated Is from the size of
the bones which lie at the under
