(and some older ones) can f1irt the
leaves from, when morning gilds

soon be in frazzle and the air
would be filled with lint, and fuzz,
and starch, and ravelings. and the
next thing people would be rushing
out into the smoking room, (for-
merly vestibule) to blow their
noses. Yes, my dear brethren, at
the present rate of destruction, our
hymnals will soon be looking like
they had been used to settle a con-
troversy in a convention of luna
tics. Down at the grange hall it is
even worse. The song books, what
there are left of them, have paper
backs, Or once had, and, of course,
they are flexible and can be rolled
up tightly in the hand. This, in a
way, is good thing, particularly
for people who cannot sit, or be
still, but must be all the time do
ing something. They can roll the
book up close like tube and put
it to their mouths and blow
through them. Then they can un-
roll and roll up the opposite way
and take another blow. And then
if someone would chance to express
worth while thought, while sit
ting cross-legged, and having the
book tightly rolled, they can give
it a jab endways on their knee,
that helps to drive the thought
home. After these books have been
rolled and unrolled la times dur
ing the evening, the grange closes
and the books are then thrown to
the floor, it doesn't hurt to tramp
on them, and the janitcr, just a
