We spent one day last week at
the John Anderson and jamie and
r. F. McGregor homes. These are
two of the homes we would rather
go to than our Own-if we were
hungry, as they always have more
to eat than the Rays &C. B. 81
Those of you who have followed us
through our penciling, will remem-
Der We have been guest and hired
hand in these homes during all
these years, and always used as we
would feel we should be were we a
king But we can't reconcile our
self to the fact that Jane and Ida
are on the retired list-don't under
stand that they have quit. While
they have done enough hard work
to entitle them to two Townsend
pensions each, they are now in the
light division. We are queer. bur
we can't help thinking if you folks
who feel the weight Of prayer, if
necessary. cut down on the praying
and spend the rest of the time with
Jane and Ida, and folks like them.
We believe they will feel better,
and you will be lot better.

While it is sad that We can't name
him and hand him bunch OF

was married three times. By the
first wife he had 10 children; by
the second, five; third, six. His
