country, We marvel at the ingenuity
of this business man in being able
to find an angle for any slope to
which the human form could not ad-
just itself in such a dilemma. We
know of no attitude of repose in
which we have not seen loafing ad-
dicts-even to reclining at full

Miss Gladys Gilliland of La
Grange, ILL.,, came the other day to
leisurely walk about the premises of
the old farm where she was born
and wonder to herself why she was
not living there now. The house
and farm now in other hands and
still one of the neat and attractive
farm-homes of Manchester town
ship stands serene and unchanged.
She did think she would like to
again go down to the weedy, willowy
shores of Little Olive Green, cross
over the footlog and follow the
winding path that once directed her
footsteps to school but the foot-log
approach no longer needed was not
replaced when decayed or washed
away. She is too young to begin
living in the past, but being both ed
ucated and sensible, she is one Of
those with philosophy of life that
strives to let the past live again

A wandering pedestrian stopped
Tuesday morning to inquire if we
knew where he could get work. He
was young, neatly dressed and very
probably sincere, but the pity of it
all was he was evidently hullicinated
---and his demeanor whether proper

with clouded intelligence.
