With nothing to do for an hour so the other day.
 we got looking through of those monthly magazines that give all the fe's most pressing problems One of those pocket-sized monhlies that prove in few hundred to few thousand words that there isn't really any problem that can't be solved if the reader will only apply the magic formula The formula consists of few words like This too shall pass, T won't give up the ship" or "1 shall succeed! shall succeed" This last we understand muttered between gritted teeth with ones chin up and all that sort of thing. The magazine shows examples of how to wrecked marriages, get the boss to like you better than he likes his third vice president how to get the girl of your dreams to accept how to get egg in the bankand all with the simple expedient of chanting of their hundreds of magic phrases They tell the reader that when he comes home from bacbreakng day his labors and finds the house burned to the ground with the insurance policy apsed his wife gone off to California with the plumber his car stolen his mothernaw camped the charred doorstep his lifes savings gone up in smoke when the mattress under which he hid burned along with the house his three kids poisoned by rat exterminator, which they thought jam and his latest copy of the monthly mag azne question gone amid the charred ruins of his home all he has do is utter few words that he remembered from the last copy of the magazine, and all will be we'll
 Perhaps this is slightly exaggerated but after reading the rpe contained between the of the publication one can only shake his head and mutter Th too shall pass hope!'

Good Evening.

In January you often hear those words Be thoughtful kind-feed the birds. The birds lose out in the winter time, When the weather is cold, no longer sublime, The birds have a time hunting grub When snow piles up there's the rub. That's the time to hearken to the words, Be thoughtful, kind-feed the birds Who have time when it's cold and raw And welcome even 8 January thaw.
