LOVE LETTERS OF A
BUREAUCRAT

1Ou are uCVcI, dS SL0tCO IA AAAy
letter of the 18th inst, out of my
mind and now as always I find 1t
difficult to correlate my feelings re-
garding you and adequately to con-
vey them to you as Of this date. /
miss you very much and careful
check of the overall picture estab-
fishes it as a corroborative fact that
my loneliness without you is up 10
per cent over the figure for the cor
responding period of the previous
year. It is my belief, based on
careful coordination of my thoughts
and moods, that it will 60 up another
2 per cent within the next 30 days.
The time has come, according to
q conservative estimate, to tell you
that l love you with q complete
utilization Of all available factors. I
take IL that you have evaluated your
feelings toward me and have con-
cluded to reciprocate to the maxi
mum in the interest Of unity. We
must now channelize our emotions
with celebrity for the attainment Of
our ultimate goals.
-
My policy is one of continued de-
votion with complete expression
of the same so far as is possible
in keeping with a full understanding
of all economic factors involved. I
have given your affections care
full study and now make it direc-
tive that you consider this pro-
posal Except as hereinafter quail
fied), and I desire that you process
the matter at once that our union
may be facilitated. take 1t there
is full accord that a collaborative
effort for our common good is
mandatory for the fulfllment of our
welfare.
In your last letter, according to
my files, you said something about
the financial aspects. I consider this
an unrelated factor at the moment,
indicative of certain maladjust-
ments in your thinking. A statement
of INV resources as Of this date with
data on the long-range view Is here
in inclosed, however.
Coordinating my conclusions, I de-
sire to place my heart, within the
meaning of sub-paragraph 5, at your
feet as categorically listed, and with
out in any way modifying my poll
cies as previously outlined. It is my
definite conclusion from a complete
summarization Of all factors, that an
early marriage is desirable for the
attainment of the detectives to
which we have set ourselves.
The goth of June, 1874, at $3.50
Eastern war time, would be convent
emit for me. Kindly reply by the in
closed form IL this is satisfactory
and will issue the necessary
directives to the printer, clergy,
etc, and arrange for the matter Of
church and ceremonial personnel.
I send YOU the usual quota Of
kisses and four questionnaires
which I wish you would fill out and
return promptly. With all my love
am your devoted slave within the
ceilings as previously set.
Gerald.
P. S.-A blueprint Of my plans for
our future is being forwarded under

Seasonal Lures
Autumn's here and the trees are
turning,
And once again that yearly yearn-
ing,
That sure instills;
A something one can never stiae,
For feel Of gum or hunting rife,
On homeland hills.
O drowsy days with dead leaves
falling,
OF barEens bleak with bull moose
calling,
I'm hauntS Of game;
OF leafy trails that twist and follow
Ger wind-swept swale and sheltered
hollow,
And slopes afiame.

CAN YOU REMEMBER:
A,cuy back ,oten bartender really tried
TO mix drink the right tOay? And sCheD
the proprietor tUas interested, too?
When you passed around your ciga-
rettes?
You feared sitting on q radiator?
When the last place you expected to find
many people all mixed up and betuddIed
by the la,u sUas the Supreme court?
Asoay back ,Uhen oysters on the half
shell suere sir for Q quarter?
