Biology finds Mr.. Christensen ex-
pounding the hygienic methods which
are supposed to be used in a town,
village, or city. Ah-yes, the coming
generation looks very promising be-
yond a doubt.

teresting story.

the uniication of Italy and Russia.
1t seems to take ages before they get
all their country together under one
head. Social reform requires time
and education Of the public. Our pro-

and is no exception to the rule.

So send your best;
Well do the rest.
Work, Greggites, work."

after six weeks in commercial college
apologies to Kiplings "Boots," and
writes the following:
Click, click, click, click,
Oh, that sound it drives me crazy!
Click, click, clcik, click,
They go mad with hearing only
Click, click, click, click.
You needn't laugh, it isn't funny.

They, must, never,
