Hello Everybody!

Well, the season of Lent has
once more rolled around and, with

what to give up to improve one
self. A certain boarding house
keeper of the Twin Cities told US
recently that half of her boarderS
are giving up meat and the rest
are sacrificing on desserts, so she
sees her way clear to getting that
much needed Easter outfit. One of
our smart young students asked
her why she didn't suggest to her
bOarderS that they give up eating

leap year and my twentieth and
last year in office, will solemnize
marriage free, plus FIVE cents in
postage"
